The Socialist Life of Modern Architecture is the first systematic architectural history of Romania under socialism written in English. It examines the mechanisms through which modern architecture was invested with political meaning and, in reverse, how specific architectural solutions came to define the socialist experience.
Each of the books three parts traces the historical development of one key aspect of Romanias architectural culture between the years 19491964:
the planning and construction of housing districts in Bucharest 
the role of typification of design and standardization of construction in a project of cultural transformation 
the production and management of a folk architectural tradition.
Going beyond buildings and architects to consider the use of photography, painting, and novels, as well as narrations of history and the formation of an ethnographic architectural heritage, the author explores how buildings came to participate in the cultural imagination of socialismand became, in fact, a privileged medium of socialism.
Part of the growing interest in the significance of Soviet Bloc architecture, this is an important contribution to the fields of architectural history, cultural history, and visual culture.
