In August 1864 a ship called 'Voyager' leaves from London port to New York with twenty six passengers aboard. This voyage starts with a hope for a new beginning for many but soon turns into a nightmare when the abhorrent events of the ship start to occur - caused by an enemy who leaves no trails behind. At the end the question is not just who is behind these brutal acts but how to defeat them before other lives may be lost.

The Architecture of Influence

The Myth of Originality in the Twentieth Century

By: Amanda Reeser Lawrence

How do we create the new from the old? The Architecture of Influence explores this fundamental question by analyzing a broad swath of twentieth-century architectural works—including some of the best-known examples of the architectural canon, modern and postmodern—through the lens of influence. The book serves as both a critique of the discipline’s long-standing focus on "genius" and a celebration of the creative act of revisioning and reimagining the past. It argues that all works of architecture not only depend on the past but necessarily alter, rewrite, and reposition the traditions and ideas to which they refer. Organized into seven chapters—Replicas, Copies, Compilations, Generalizations, Revivals, Emulations, and Self-Repetitions—the book redefines influence as an active process through which the past is defined, recalled, and subsequently redefined within twentieth-century architecture.
