Description

Explore the complex relationship between modern architecture and the digital world with Digital Monuments: The Dreams and Abuses of Iconic Architecture. Published by Routledge, this work examines how iconic buildings in the new millennium are shaped and perceived through digital imagery. This book investigates how constructions like Rem Koolhaas's CCTV headquarters in Beijing, Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, and Zaha Hadid's Performing Arts Centre in Abu Dhabi are introduced to the global public. It looks at how immortal digital images flood the internet and influence our perception of these structures. Readers will learn about the tension between digital representations and actualized buildings. The text explores how these digital monuments push the limits of physics and engineering, existing in a space that flickers between the real and the virtual. It is an essential study for those interested in how the digital image impacts the way we understand and experience the built environment.
