Maggiori informazioni sul libro

There’s something magical about some cities. They are artificial worlds that have nevertheless grown like organic entities over centuries. Here futuristic experimental buildings contrast with historical monuments, spectacular pomp is found alongside minimalist elegance—and everywhere in between, people. Our major cities are condensed cultural histories that provide evidence of the changing rhythms of life of boththe past and the present day. Urban Design & Architecture is a richly illustrated journey in the architectural events of the 20th century. At the same time, it offers an exciting documentation of the interrelation of people, time, and architecture.
