Title: Meet Me by the Fountain Author: Alexandra Lange Narrator: Mikhaila Aaseng Format: mp3 Length: 9 hrs and 49 mins Release date: 06-14-22 Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 53 ratings Genres: Architecture Publisher's Summary: Alexandra Lange now turns her sharp eye to another subject we only think we know. She chronicles post-war architects’ and merchants’ invention of the mall, revealing how the design of these marketplaces played an integral role in their cultural ascent. In Lange’s perceptive account, the mall becomes newly strange and rich with contradiction: Malls are environments of both freedom and exclusion—of consumerism, but also of community. Meet Me by the Fountain is a highly entertaining and evocative promenade through the mall’s story of rise, fall and ongoing reinvention.
