Relevance to Geoffrey's Research
Dyckhoff matters to Geoffrey's spectacle & iconic architecture, neoliberalism & architecture, and capitalism, urbanization & gentrification areas: his accessible account of the icon/"Wowhaus" economy, the cult of the image, and the gentrified city offers a bridge between critical theory (Debord, Lefebvre, Harvey) and everyday observation of the built environment.
