Description
“Utopian thought, though commonly characterized
as projecting a future without a past, depends on golden models for re-invention
of what is. [...] With unparalleled depth and focus of vision on the
work of Le Corbusier, Louis I Kahn and Aldo van Eyck, this book persuasively
challenges predominant assumptions in current architectural discourse, forging
a new approach to the invention of welcoming built environments and transcending
the limitations of both the postmodern and hyper-modern stance and orthodox modernist
architecture.” (R)
