In this section, I read about the built environment, and what meanings can be derived from the changing styles of buildings.
For me, this section really bound together art and the rest of the world. Art infiltrates each and every aspect of life, even in places you wouldn't expect.
From branding to furniture, buildings to maps, the world is articulated visually by the arts.
While art is often seen as an exclusionary area of interest, its the creative ones in society who create representations of values and the current view of the world.
The AT&T building in New York on page 341 is even a social statement.
I feel like too often are artists undervalued, pushed below others in the social ladder.
