Paul Virilio: Bunker Archeology

Více o knize

Focusing on the intersection of architecture and philosophy, the book explores Paul Virilio's pioneering work in bunker archaeology, initiated in the late 1950s. His early photography of WWII bunkers along the French coast evolved into a profound examination of military space and communication. Virilio's concept of "Cryptic Architecture" positions these structures as precursors to contemporary architectural thought. This re-edition coincides with a Centre Pompidou exhibition, highlighting the enduring relevance of his insights into deception, acceleration, and the complexities of modern existence.
