The power of symbol. 330 $aFrom the years 2004 to 2008, Beijing and Shanghai witnessed the construction of an extraordinary number of new buildings, many of which were designed by architectural firms overseas. Combining ethnographic fieldwork, historical research, and network analysis, Building Globalization closely scrutinizes the growing phenomenon of transnational architecture and its profound effect on the development of urban space. Roaming from construction sites in Shanghai to architects' offices in Paris, Xuefei Ren interviews hundreds of architects, developers, politicians, residents, and activists to explore this issue. She finds that in the rapidly transforming cities of modern China, iconic designs from prestigious international architects help private developers to distinguish their projects, government officials to advance their careers, and the Chinese state to announce the arrival of modern China on the world stage. China leads the way in the globalization of architecture, a process whose ramifications can be felt from Beijing to Dubai to Basel. Connecting the dots between real estate speculation, megaproject construction, residential displacement, historical preservation, housing rights, and urban activism, Building Globalization reveals the contradictions and consequences of this new, global urban frontier. 606 $aArchitecture and globalization$zChina 606 $aUrban renewal$zChina 606 $aCity planning$zChina 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aArchitecture and globalization 615 0$aUrban renewal 615 0$aCity planning 676 $a307.1/2160951090511 700 $aRen$b Xuefei$0941931 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465507703321 996 $aBuilding globalization$92125322 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00949nam a2200241 i 4500 001 991003596069707536 008 080505s2002 it 001 0 ita d 020 $a8886323778 035 $ab13721549-39ule_inst 040 $aFacoltà SSPT$bita 082 0 $a331.20 245 02$aL'azienda totale :$bdispositivi totalizzanti e risorse di sopravvivenza in una grande azienda della distribuzione /$ca cura di Renato Curcio 260 $aDogliani :$bSensibili alle foglie,$cc2002 300 $a103 p. ;$c21 cm 440 0$aQuaderni di ricerca sociale ;$v2 650 4$aSupermercati$xPersonale$xInchieste 700 1 $aCurcio , Renato 907 $a.b13721549$b02-04-14$c05-05-08 912 $a991003596069707536 945 $aLE021 331.20 CUR01.01$g1$i2020000002772$lle021$op$pE12.00$q-$rn$s- $t0$u4$v1$w4$x0$y.i14742299$z05-05-08 996 $aAzienda totale$91230793 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale020$b05-05-08$cm$da $e-$fita$git $h2$i0
