At present, when most new buildings in our cities are huge glass boxes, it is hard to make out what they mean. Only a few decades ago, it was easier to decipher our cities. Has architecture lost the connection to public and private life that made us feel at home among buildings? This book explores the meanings that appear when architecture is observed from a political perspective. It examines how architecture has mirrored the political events and developments in Europe since the end of the Second World War, which have brought significant changes to this continent's constitution. This analysis will show how architecture is ingrained in our lives and what meanings are generated from this relationship.
