Geopolitics, Aesthetics and Postmodern Architecture

Histories of postmodern architecture have generally accepted the idea that postmodernism is embedded in the cultural logic of late capitalism. In this collection, however, we show that architectural postmodernism is not just a mere symbol of neoliberalism in the West but intertwined with the larger dynamics of imperialism on the one hand and socialism on the other. ‘Geopolitics, Aesthetics and Postmodern Architecture’ explores a series of political tensions, corporate ambitions and intellectual exchanges transcending the capitalist core countries that shows that architectural history is well positioned to advance a historical approach to postmodernism in the context of uneven global development.
