TOWER TO TOWER: Gigantism in Architecture and Digital Culture
Map the trajectory of gigantism in architecture and digital culture--the convergence of tall buildings and networked infrastructures--from the Eiffel Tower to the World Trade Center. They show how these two forms of gigantism intersect in the figure of the skyscraper with a transmitting antenna on its roof, a building that is also a nodal point of infrastructure. Well illustrated most in color.
