Schinkels classicist architecture in Berlin, especially the principle of tectonics at its core, came to be adopted effectively at faraway cities in East Asia, merging with the notion of national polity as Imperial Japan sought to reinvent Tokyo and mutating into an inevitable reflection of modern civilization upon reaching colonial Seoul, all of which give reason to ruminate over the phantasmagoria of modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51819182489888,"sku":"NEW0367639920","price":230.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81G2fsyXS4L.jpg?v=1781127047","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/imaginary-athens-routledge-studies-in-cultural-history-0367639920","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
