The Icon Project: Architecture, Cities, and Capitalist Globalization
Sklair, Leslie (Professor of Sociology, Professor of Sociology, LSE)
The Icon Project argues that the transnational capitalist class mobilizes two forms of iconic architecture--unique icons recognized as works of art, notably designed by global starchitects (such as Frank Gehry and Zaha Hadid); and typical icons copying elements of unique icons--to promote the same ideological message: the culture-ideology of consumerism.
