Focused on Heathrow airport, it traces how the area has been formed and reformed by overlapping systems of architecture, infrastructure, and enclosure, from the common land of Hounslow Heath in the eighteenth century to the global transport hub of the present day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book explores the different forces that have shaped the airport's environment: the remaking of landforms, the design of terminal buildings, and the surrounding sprawl of hotels, schools, factories, and business parks. At the same time, it shows how the Heathrow area has been moulded by wider shifts in energy, mobility, and the economy, and how the airport has in turn left a lasting mark on its surroundings, both materially and ecologically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on previously unpublished material, \u003cem\u003eAviationland\u003c\/em\u003e includes close studies of key sites, as well as figures who shaped how we see the airport today, including Richard Rogers, Patrick Abercrombie, and J.

The result is a nuanced account of how local places become entangled within global systems, and what happens when they do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47650531868908,"sku":"9781913107536","price":95.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781913107536-aviationland.jpg?v=1779325550"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/mark-crinson.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
