Symbolism in the architecture of financial and banking palaces.
Since time immemorial, architecture has pursued two goals: on the one hand, utilitarian, to give warmth and shelter, on the other hand, political, to capture a certain idea in humanity through the magnificence of its manifestation in the Stone. "
Under this motto, borrowed from Bernard Russell, Christina Durlea invites us to walk through 9 centuries of banking architecture, from the 12th century to the present, explaining through text and images why and how the buildings of prestigious banks became real palaces.
The book depicts buildings belonging to great bankers, industrialists, architectural merchants, professional or social associations.
