Dream Worlds

ARCHITAINMENT A brave new world of urban incubators and neo-industrialist capitalist collectives Architecture built for the purpose of living out a fantasy or for pure pleasure is multiplying at a breathtaking pace. This book shows examples of architecture that does not fit into the traditional realm of building and function. Colosseum Circus Maximus Xanadu Las Vegas Disneyland Arcosanti Celebration Coney Island Mall of America Oktoberfest Sentosa Wembley Stadium The Palm Tropical Island WolfsburgArchitects such as Robert Venturi, Le Corbusier, Rem Koolhaas and Oscar Niemeyer have all tried their hand at architainment. This book examines the post-modern desire for escapism and considers the future of this trend. Florian Holzherr's photographs capture each site as pristine architectural structure, while complementary photographs by the author illustrate the less dreamy aspects of the sites in daily use.
