 THE ARCHITECTURE OF COLONIALISM, MOROCCO, 1912-1932: AN INQUIRY INTO THE DETERMINANTS OF FRENCH COLONIAL ARCHITECTURE
The main argument in this dissertation is that the history of architecture in Morocco, particularly that of French colonial architecture, has been written on the basis of the same two paradigms according to which most twentieth century architectural historians have interpreted architectural form and the relationship between architecture and society.
These are the idealist paradigm, which gives a metaphysical value to architecture and leads to teleologic history and the empiricist paradigm, which sees the essence of architecture in the architectural form itself and engenders descriptive history.
Colonial architecture was part of a complex totality encompassing the conditions of its production, entertaining particular relationships with economy, politics and ideology, and taking part fully in the contradictions and antinomies of the colonial context.

 ADSW: Designing Dreams
The image most people have of modern architecture is probably as much due to movies from the Deco period as it is due to experience with real buildings, says Donald Albrecht in his book Designing Dreams: Modern Architecture in the Movies (Hennessey and Ingalls, paperback, $29.95).
Albrecht provides a nice overview of how modern architecture and design have been used in film.
Films probably promoted modern architecture to the general public far more broadly and more successfully than any architect, museum show, or design magazine did, Albrecht says.
