About this episode
In Episode 14/3 of A is for Architecture’s, Rowan Moore speaks about his recent book, Property: The Myth the Built the World, published by Faber & Faber this year.
Rowan is the architecture critic at the Observer, and has previously published Why We Build (Picador/ Pan Macmillan, 2012), Anatomy of a Building (Little, Brown, 2014) and Slow Burn City: London in the Twenty-First Century (Picador/ Pan Macmillan, 2016).
According to the publisher’s gloss, Property ‘asks how we have come to view our homes as investments – and […] offers hope for how things could be better, with reform that might enable the social wealth of property to be returned to society’. One wonders, though, given modernity qua modernity, if this doesn’t amount to a petition for a new society.
Rowan is here on Twitter, and his Observer profile is here. You can get Property online at the Faber & Faber website.
