The death of the iconic building has regularly been announced by the media, following the well-established pattern of knocking down what it has recently built up. But is this death certificate premature?
The death of the iconic building has regularly been announced by the media, following the well-established pattern of knocking down what it has recently built up. But is this death certificate premature?
Iconic buildings are here to stay, the author of the recent book on the subject, Charles Jencks, contends, not because architects like them but for economic and social reasons. His view, disputed by a number of high-profile members of the profession, is based on four premises which will be explored in this lecture.
Dissenters and supporters are invited to respond and discussion will be an integral part of this event.
