Publisher's Synopsis

This anthology of essays explores the myths and meanings of everyday building materials such as brick, concrete, plaster and plastic, decoding the symbols and signs deeply embedded in material culture and unmasking hidden ideologies. This work creates a bridge between architectural theory and practice, cultural studies and philosophy. It changes the way we see our built world.
