The Governance of Style

"The Governance of Style" is a scholarly book that focuses on the architecture of public buildings in Central Europe. It sheds light on the decision-making processes that led to these structures and examines their forms of expression during a period of transition between feudal and modern constitutional societies. The 20 contributions in this volume provide a nuanced analysis of architectural styles and their relationship to cultural heritage, as well as to specific topography and the architectural environment. The authors, including Georg Vasold, Maximilian Hartmuth, and Julia Rüdiger, contribute to a deeper understanding of the aesthetic and functional aspects of public architecture. This book is aimed at professionals and enthusiasts in art history, architecture, and urban planning who wish to explore the complex interconnections between architecture and society in a changing context.
