商品描述
A visually inspiring architectural history of the wire and its representations that illuminates the relationship between telecommunications, technology, and architecture.
The Architecture of the Wire explores the development of telecommunications infrastructure and its impact on the architectural and urban culture of the modern age--from poles, wires, and cables, to "micro-architectures," such as the théâtrophone and the telephone booth. Starting with the intrepid worldwide infrastructures of the late nineteenth century, Carlotta Darò proposes a new history that explores the multiple links and crossroads of such technical "things" with architecture and art. Based on extensive research of North American company archives, and French institutional ones, and drawing on secondary literature in art and architectural history, media studies, and the history of technology, Darò examines the aesthetic implications of material objects that have forever changed our urban, rural, and domestic environments.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
一部視覺上啟發性的電線建築歷史，揭示了電信、技術與建築之間的關係。
電線的建築 探討了電信基礎設施的發展及其對現代建築和城市文化的影響——從電線桿、電線和電纜，到「微型建築」，如劇院電話和電話亭。從十九世紀末的全球基礎設施開始，Carlotta Darò 提出了探索這些技術「事物」與建築和藝術之間多重聯繫和交匯點的新歷史。基於對北美公司檔案和法國機構檔案的廣泛研究，並借鑒藝術和建築歷史、媒體研究以及技術史的二手文獻，Darò 檢視了那些永遠改變我們城市、鄉村和家庭環境的物質對象的美學意涵。作者簡介
Carlotta Darò is an art and architectural historian. She is Associate Professor at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture Paris-Malaquais and currently a guest senior researcher at ETH Zurich.
