Leslie Sklair
Iconic Architecture and Capitalist Globalisation. Contamination or Creativity?
The lesson builds upon an ongoing research project stemming from the previous experience called Globalization and the Fortune Global 500 within a theoretical framework that analyses the link between global capitalism, classes, consumerism and state. This new architectural project revolves around the modalities whereby the transnational capitalist class uses what is known as iconic architecture.
