Starchitecture et tourisme
Icônes globales d'architecture et circulations mondialisées
Published on Monday, June 01, 2015 by Elsa Zotian
Summary
The 1990-2000 decade are characterized by a profusion of iconic projects, in a one-upmanship that has rarely been seen in any other period of the history of architecture, simultaneously fed by local decision-makers, capital flows and transnational classes. In this context, global icons of architecture are territorial landmarks that affirm the identity and cultural vitality of an area.

Argument
The 1990-2000 decade are characterized by a profusion of iconic projects, in a one-upmanship that has rarely been seen in any other period of the history of architecture, simultaneously fed by local decision-makers, capital flows and transnational classes. In this context, global icons of architecture are territorial landmarks that affirm the identity and cultural vitality of an area.
Starchitecture owes its success to its ability to create the local while mobilizing the global; of “putting a city on the map” while at the same time integrating it into the global networks of the architects who build it, the capitals that produce it and the mobile, international tourism or professional classes which consume it.
On the opportunity of the launch of the book Global Icons of Architecture. The Iconic Architecture, the Global Architect and the Public Space (Ed. l’Harmattan, 2015), this day-long seminar gathers the authors to think the relationship between Tourism and Starchitecture.
