Architecture built for the purpose of living out a fantasy or for pure pleasure is multiplying at a breathtaking pace. The Mall of America, Dubai's The Palm, and Brandenburg's Tropical Island are all examples of architecture that do not fit into the traditional realm of buildings and function. Dream Worlds traces the idea of architecture and entertainment from its earliest incarnations, such as the Colosseum, to the late twentieth century, when examples of "architainment" have proliferated. It examines the post-modern desire for escapism and considers the future of this trend. Florian Holzherr's photographs capture each site as architectural structure, while complementary photographs by the author illustrate the sites in daily use.
