no other type of contemporary structure is as charged with social, economic, and political sym-<br />
bolism as the television tower. but how exactly are wishes, ideas of the future, and demon-<br />
strations of power implemented through architecture? How is architecture transformed via<br />
political propaganda or assimilation into everyday culture? and just how political can architecture<br />
be? on the basis of twenty-five television towers all over the world, this book presents<br />
fascinating portraits of an unusual type of building. Here, it is not only a matter of beating architectural<br />
and structural records, but also of social and political contexts at the time of building,<br />
and the towers’ situations today.<br />
