The Architecture of Survival: Setting and Politics in Apocalypse Films

by Jake Parcell and Erik Trump

Book Overview

This book argues that apocalypse films offer instruction about architecture's social significance. Through set design, films suggest that certain kinds of architecture support human development, community, and freedom, while other kinds separate us from our fellow humans and make democratic politics impossible.
