Starchitecture bookHere is the presentation.

The 1990s and 2000s are characterized by the profusion of iconic architectural projects, in a bidding war that had known little other periods in the history of architecture.

This book takes a critical look at these projects that have shaped the image and identity of contemporary cities.

It focuses on the figure of the "starchitects" that produce, local actors that sponsor them, people who "consume".

He is also interested in the new geography that they outline.
