The Icon Project argues that the transnational capitalist class mobilizes two forms of iconic architecture -- unique icons recognized as works of art, notably designed by global starchitects (such as Frank Gehry and Zaha Hadid); and typical icons copying elements of unique icons -- to promote the same ideological message: the culture-ideology of consumerism.
