Everything that was directly lived has moved away into a representation.” 1 The Shard [ 10 ] [ 11 ] 1. Introduction I find myself in a society that promotes the false more than the truth, that is led by images rather than concepts and that believes that the reality exhibited makes up for the truth. Debord (2009) argues in his book The Society of the Spectacle written in 1967 that our lives are driven every second by images that shape the spectacle we live in, spectacle that becomes a tool for exhibiting the false. What is left behind characterises a society of hyper reality, a world made to be imaginary. Being surrounded by symbols, by images created to have a meaning, I find myself overwhelmed by the spectacle-like aspect of humanity. I am unwillingly witnessing what Koolhaas proclaimed as ‘Junkspace’ in 2001. “A shortage of masters has not stopped a proliferation of masterpieces. ‘Masterpiece’ has become a definitive sanction, a semantic space that saves the object from criticism, leaves its qualities unproven, its performance untested, its motives unquestioned... Masterpiece is no longer an inexplicable fluke, a roll of the dice, but a consistent typology: its mission precarious, most of its exterior surfaces bent, huge percentages of its square footage dysfunctional, its centrifugal components barely held together by the pull of the atrium, dreading the imminent arrival of forensic accounting…” 2 Koolhaas is referring to this recent tendency of naming every new building an icon, a masterpiece, as if it is a pre-condition for social [ 12 ] structures, as if the naming leaves no questions to be asked or answered, as if the fashion of a superstructure directly relates to an act of greatness. Architecture seems to have degenerated into a game played by developers trying to get their project built through the use of semiotic fluxes and visually stunning images of what seems to be yet another iconic building. Hence, I ask myself: Has architecture shrunk from a spatial form to an image form? Or even to a semiotic form? Are we more inclined towards images rather than concepts? As Lefebvre points out “We build on the basis of paper and plans, we buy on the basis of images.” 3 Which are the main driving forces behind the image? How is the identity of a place affected? Is there a new identity created? What is being touched upon in order to attract favourable opinions around a certain project? In this dissertation I would like to explore how representation in terms of images and language embodies the idea of identity and of the spectacle, which is being driven by economical and political [ 13 ] forces. My ideas would probably be insufficiently pragmatic for architectural critics and insufficiently conceptual for philosophers but my hope is to speculate on how representation has become an extensively used tool in order to attract positive feedback regarding the built environment. I will be looking at the designed by Renzo Piano in the context presented above, as a phenomenon of architectural communication. The victorious that stands above London Bridge at its 310m, along the river Thames, ignited debate across the world. Being such a large construction, it was unavoidable for a high number of actors4 and issues not to come face to face right from the conception following through to completion. The reason for choosing this specific construction has its roots in the long lasting controversy on buildings that will change the London skyline. In this paper the will be explored through the prism of representation. This dissertation seeks to explore the role that representation plays in the built environment. Through a range of theories and by looking at the as a built precedent, I will examine the extent to which images and semiotics can mislead and influence by considering the importance of identity in a community and whether this current architectural discourse driven by political and economical factors has ceased to create a sense of place. [ 14 ] images imply coping reality, but here they are used as a defence mechanism, as a negation of reality, something that transcends social existence [ 15 ] 2. Gallery Elements of display “In a culture of the simulacrum, communicative practice is necessarily theatrical. Electronic media are instrumental in staging an exchange in which the currency of information makes understanding possible. [...] Imagology involves a second naivete in which the figural, which has too long been repressed by the conceptual, returns as the medium for understanding and communication. The return of figure disfigures the disfiguration of concepts by reinscribing the imago in the midst of the logos. A paradox of the imaginary register: the proliferation of images is iconoclastic. “5 [ 16 ] Figure 1.

  • Vertical City Tourism: Heightened Aesthetic and Kinaesthetic Experiences Andrew Smith
    CHAPTER 6 Vertical City Tourism: Heightened Aesthetic and Kinaesthetic Experiences Andrew Smith Introduction Urban areas have traditionally been analysed as two-dimensional phenom- ena, with emphasis placed on the spatial distribution of features, connectivity at ground level and horizontal urban expansion. This neglects the verticality of cities – arguably their defining feature – which has become even more sig- nificant as more and more tall buildings are constructed (Graham and Hewitt 2012). In 2000 there were 265 buildings in the world that were over 200 metres tall (CTBUH 2016). By 2010 this had risen to 612 and the latest figures suggest there are now 1,169 buildings that exceed this height – a 441 per cent increase since the Millennium (CTBUH 2016). This growth has been accompanied by calls for more recognition of the verticality of urban space (Graham and Hewitt 2012; McNeill 2005), and, in recent years, academics from various disciplines have responded to these calls (Deriu 2018). Much of this emerging body of work is linked to urban militarisation, securitisation and surveillance but, as Harris (2015, 604) notes, it is important to recognise other types of ‘vertical forms, landscapes and experiences’, including those that involve the ‘produc- tion, marketing and commodification of urban views’.
