Book review: The dissolution of place: architecture, identity and the body

"The Dissolution of Place: Architecture, Identity and the Body." Shelton Waldrep. Ashgate. December 2012. --- The Dissolution of Place investigates architecture on the margins of postmodernism: those places where both architecture and postmodernism begin to break down and to reveal new forms and new relationships. The book examines in detail not only a wide range of architectural phenomena such as theme parks, casinos, specific modernist and postmodernist buildings, but also interrogates architecture in relation to identity, specifically Native American and gay male identities, as they are reflected in new notions of the built environment.
