About this book

«Hollis combina una actitud iconoclasta con un brillante estilo para crear una especie de contrahistoria de la arquitectura y narra la biografía posterior de esos "maravillosos y quiméricos monstruos" que son los edificios.»Washington Post«En el libro de Hollis hay pasión y compromiso; tras leerlo volvemos al mundo más observadores y rebosantes de preguntas.»The Times Literary SupplementUn edificio nace con la expectativa de permanecer para siempre, pero un edificio es un ser voluble: es habitado y modificado, y su existencia habla de una constante y curiosa transformación. Edward Hollis vuelve a imaginar la historia de la arquitectura de una forma radical y hace un seguimiento de trece edificios para revelarnos la historia oculta del Partenón y la Alhambra, de la catedral de Gloucester y Santa Sofía, de Sans Souci y Notre Dame de París, del Templo Malatestiano y Loreto. Pero también explora monumentos recientes, desde los legendarios Hulme Crescents de Manchester hasta el Muro de Berlín y los parques temáticos de fibra de vidrio de Las Vegas.
