Mehr zum Buch

The exploration of modern architecture reveals the significance of white walls, which signify more than minimalism; they represent a new form of architectural attire. Mark Wigley argues that these walls are akin to clothing, reflecting the relationship between architecture and fashion. He delves into how architects, often dismissive of fashion, are deeply intertwined with its logic, presenting a nuanced perspective on modern design. By tracing historical connections between clothing and architecture, Wigley uncovers a complex dialogue about surfaces and identity in the built environment.
