Hal Foster, author of the acclaimed
Design and Crime, argues that a fusion of architecture and art is a defining feature of contemporary culture. He identifies a ‘global style’ of architecture-as practiced by Norman Foster, Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano-analogous to the international style of Le Corbusier, Gropius and Mies.
More than any art, today’s global style conveys both the dreams and delusions of modernity. Foster demonstrates that a study of the ‘art-architecture complex’ provides invaluable insight into broader social and economic trajectories in urgent need of analysis.
