Paradigm Islands

Manhattan and Venice: Discourses on Architecture and the City

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A critical look at the making of Manhattan and Venice provides a background to addressing the dynamic redefinition and making of space today. The book concerns architecture and the city, built, imagined and narrated, but, importantly, considers architecture as an intellectual and spatial process rather than a product.
