Description

"Multi-National City is a guidebook to architecture's future that follows three itineraries through three cities and their histories: Silicon Valley in northern California; New York's internal suburbias; and Gurgaon, a burgeoning corporate city outside of New Delhi. Like so many, these cities are caught within the feedback loops of the information age, which makes them important nodes in a single Multi-National City (MNC) that stretches across the globe." "With interconnected stories about their architecture told in both words and images, this book offers a tour of the monuments of corporate globalization past and present. Its purpose is to construct a "science of the imaginary" that makes it possibLe to imagine something else."--BOOK JACKET.
