Description
*Icebergs, Zombies, and the Ultra Thin* is an indictment of how finance capitalism dramatically alters not only architectural forms but also the very nature of our cities and societies. From the cavernous underground "iceberg" homes of the superrich in London to Paris's owned-but-empty "zombie" housing to the ultra-thin luxury "pencil towers" sprouting in Manhattan, Matthew Soules demonstrates how investment imperatives shape what and how we build on a global scale.
