TV Towers

8,559 m Politics and Architecture

Friedrich von Borries, Matthias Böttger, Florian Heilmeyer

This book provides an insight into an architectural and structural battle—to be larger, to be higher, to go further—that has been raging between TV Towers, also shedding light on associated societal and political contexts. Since World War II, hardly any other kind of structure represents such longing for societal, economic and political symbolism. How exactly are those desires, aspirations and exhibitions of power expressed in architecture? How does their interpretation shift with political propaganda and appropriation by popular culture? And how political can architecture become?
