The Future is Unwritten: Global Culture, Identity and Economy
Is architecture no more than a mere handmaid to global capitalism and the international property market? Murray Fraser, Professor of Architecture and Global Culture at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, asserts that the true picture is both much more complex and less homogeneous than it might appear. While acknowledging that economic conditions are significant drivers in architecture, he argues that it is still possible for designers to respond creatively with suppleness and foresight in their exploration of paths for a better future.
