The Edifice Complex
A provocative look at architecture-"exceptionally intelligent and original" (Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post Book World) Deyan Sudjic-"probably the most influential figure in architecture you've never heard of" - argues that architecture, far from being auteur art, must be understood as a naked expression of power. From the grandiose projects of Stalin and Hitler to the "theme park" excess of today's presidential libraries, Sudjic goes behind the scenes of history's great manipulators of building propaganda-and exposes Rem Koolhaas, Frank Gehry, and other architects in a disturbing new light. This controversial book is essential reading for all those interested in the power of architecture-or the architecture of power. * A Washington Post Book World Best Book of the Year

El lenguaje de las ciudades
'Para dar sentido a una ciudad, hemos de saber algo acerca de las personas que viven en ella, y de la gente que la construyó. Es necesario preguntarse cómo lo hicieron y por qué.' Una ciudad está hecha por personas. Tiene una identidad distintiva, que consiste en mucho más que una aglomeración de edificios; clima, topografía y arquitectura forman parte de lo que crea esa distinción, al igual que sus orígenes. Lo apasionante es que todos estos elementos no siempre producen los mismos resultados: muchas ciudades tienen un río, pero el Sena es único, parte esencial de lo que hace París distinto de Berlín. Hong Kong es una ciudad comercial, y también Dubái, y Hamburgo, pero son ellas mismas, inconfundibles. Cada ciudad es una experiencia única. La mayoría de nosotros vivimos en ciudades, pero ¿sabemos qué es lo que hace que una ciudad sea una ciudad? ¿Es un lugar? o una idea? ¿Cómo debemos definir la ciudad hoy, tal y como evoluciona en el siglo xxi? Un libro que nos ayuda a comprender por qué a menudo nos sentimos más cómodos con nuestra identidad como barceloneses, londinenses, moscovitas o mumbaienses que con nuestra identidad nacional.

Il linguaggio delle cose
"Che cos'è il design? Come funziona il linguaggio degli oggetti di cui ci circondiamo? Quali relazioni lo legano alla moda, al lusso, alla pubblicità, all'arte, all'industria, alla nostra storia personale e collettiva? Il designer è un artista o un professionista, è un meticoloso risolutore di problemi o un egocentrico creatore di oggetti inutili? "In tutte le sue manifestazioni, il design è il Dna delle nostre società. Se vogliamo capire la natura del mondo moderno, è questo codice che dobbiamo esplorare." Gli oggetti parlano e, in un mondo sommerso di cose, il rumore di fondo è diventato così assordante che è giunto il momento di chiedere un po' di silenzio e lasciar parlare quelli che hanno seriamente qualcosa da dire: capitolo dopo capitolo, pagina dopo pagina, scopriamo quanto ci manchi una seria e approfondita cultura sull'argomento, quanto piacere ci sia nel conoscere attraverso gli oggetti, quanto possiamo coltivare noi stessi e la nostra stessa personalità circondandoci di oggetti, nei quali riconoscerci e ai quali affidare il compito di rappresentarci. Deyan Sudjic ci insegna ad apprendere questo linguaggio e ad ascoltare con giudizio critico, così da renderci più consapevoli del mondo nel quale viviamo". (M. De Lucchi).
