Tobias Zuser, The Education University of Hong Kong Flowers knows how to engage the reader with his refreshingly personal accounts, sharing insights into how, throughout his life, sport grounds have been important places of identity building.Tobias Zuser, The Education University of Hong Kong Author InformationBenjamin S. Flowers is an Associate Professor in the School of Architecture at the Georgia Institute of Technology, USA. His work examines architecture as a form of social activity situated within the intersecting spheres of politics, culture, and economy. Looking in particular at skyscrapers and stadiums, he focuses on the ways these structures are constructed, the ends to which they are used, and the nature of public reactions to them. His research has attracted recognition and funding from Columbia University’s Buell Center for Architecture, Cornell University’s John Nolen Fellowship, the Society of Architectural Historians, and the Hagley Museum and Library.
