The Architecture of Empire in Modern Europe traces the entanglement of the European built environment with overseas imperialism in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. As part of imperial networks between metropole and colonies, in cities as diverse as Glasgow, Hamburg, or Paris, numerous new buildings were erected such as factories, mission houses, offices, and museums. These sites developed into the physical manifestations of imperial networks. As Europeans designed, used, and portrayed them, these buildings became meaningful imperial places that conveyed the power relations of empire and Eurocentric self-images. Engaging with recent debates about colonial history and heritage, this book combines a variety of sources, an interdisciplinary approach, and an international scope to produce a cultural history of European imperial architecture across borders.Architecture of Empire in Modern Europe European historybicsscGeneral & world historybicsscPublic buildings: civic, commercial, industrial, etcbicsscColonial history, modern European history, heritage studies, architectureEuropean historyGeneral & world historyPublic buildings: civic, commercial, industrial, etcGroten Mielauth1265099BOOK9910617311903321The Architecture of Empire in Modern Europe2966529UNINA
