Von frau strasser
Format:Taschenbuch
When reading this book I was shocked about the superficial and almost primitive analysis, on which a vast amount of last centuries city planning was based. The first part almost only consists of incoherent and unscientific postulations of the legitimacy of the right angle as doctrine for planning, while the second part focuses on a practical approach of how to reduce a city to a place for sleeping, working and driving while thwarting any form of culture by burying it under a ridiculous desert of parks. "We must plant trees" is Le Corbusiers answer on every human question, while his answer on every structural question is the right angle.
The social hirachy that is implicated in his ideas is frightening. I gave this book 2 Stars because it gives an understanding of the planning faliures of the last century. Still, the rare content, the primitive scientific methods (which I would not even call "scientific" or "methods")used, the almost pathetic way to advocate his personal, static ideas and the total denial of the city as a growing organism makes this book one of the most overrated books I've read and I would recommend to spend your 11 Euros elsewhere.

As an architecture student interested in the "art" of city planning, I found this book fascinating! Gives Le Corbusier's "radical" views and ideas plenty of substantive support. It is not only a book of design theory, but a book of urban history. Even if you're not too fond of Corbusier's work, this is a must-read for anyone interested in architecture!

How and why city's evolved.

Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book written in 1924, shows you how cities came about, how they evolved over time. how architecture evolved from roman, threw the middle ages to what we have to day. The single best "over view" book on what cities are, and should be mandatory in all high school and collage civics / government / world history classes. The illustrations in this book look like modern sky scrapers... till you notice the WWI biplane flying past. A man ahead of his time and still ahead of our modern cities.

A planner with a vision
3. Juli 2003
Von Mert Cubukcu
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
Le Corbusier has a dream for Paris, and it is a really interesting and unusual one. He creates a model for the cities, and his model has been living for almost a century. Although, you may reject to see it built, put aside living in it, it is a complete (well, almost complete) model. In this book, Le Corbusier presents his model city in detail from streets to building codes. He not only talks about the physical structure, but also the life style it would create. The mass of the city scares you, but you admire how he defends his vision, which is strong and bold, just like the book itself.
