Sobre el libro:
La influencia de la arquitectura en la representación de las ciudades en el cine, es lo que reúne este libro a través de varios artículos. Si a esto le sumamos los imaginarios de ciudades que se ven en las películas de ciencia ficción, se obtiene que el cine de éste género revela cómo podría ser una sociedad y cómo sería su relación con su espacio urbano, que en la práctica no existe. Otro elemento que se aborda en el libro es el rol que juega la tecnología en las ciudades del futuro que se construyen a través del cine.

Extracto:
“Images have so influenced the production of contemporary cities like Ras al-Khaimah that its reality cannot be considered with- out its virtuality. Built on desert sand with little urban history, these Gulf cities have all but images as references to fuel the production of its skylines. These images project a city’s future where the distinction between reality and imagination is blurred. Koolhaas’s design is illustrated against the backdrop of a starry night with the red afterglow of moving cars streaking into darkness, evoking its fictional counterpart hovering in space with Starfighters flying by. This image is read as both factual and fictional narratives for the design, suspend- ing us in a moment of disbelief between the building and its popular imagination”.
