Author: Stephan Trüby
Do the emerging forces of the political far right have an architectural and urban planning agenda? This question runs through this collection of essays written between 2015 and 2020 that anticipated many elements of the current debate. Supplemented by a new, detailed foreword that sheds light on recent international developments, these essays reveal that architecture has become a central medium of the global authoritarian right, from ethno-nationalists and historical revisionists to libertarians.This development has been accompanied by a policy of low interest rates pursued by the world’s main central banks in the wake of the 2008 global financial crisis, which led to a rapid increase in construction and a paradigm shift in architecture from a means of creating useful objects and towards a form of asset creation.
