Urban Design The 20th Century Architecture

Opis książki:

Architecture in the 20th century has revolutionized the urban living environment. All over the world some cities have developed into mega cities of unprecedented dimensions while others have shrunk to become places of emptiness. Be it in wild proliferation like Tokyo or in accordance with a strict plan as in the case of Paris every building every street and every green space always remains part of the whole. URBAN DESIGNS ARCHITECTURE THE 20th CENTURY visits the major cities of the world creating a historical lineup of their sometimes dramatic development. The most important architects and urban planners of the age - from Gropius Le Corbusier and Wright through Piano Ando and Coop Himmel Blau - are presented together with their work. The outstanding quality of this book derives from its illustration of the fact that architecture and urban planning define each other on a mutual basis time and again.
