Paradigm Islands: Manhattan and Venice: Discourses on Architecture and the City
Autor Teresa Stoppanien Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 oct 2010
A critical look at the making of Manhattan and Venice provides a background to addressing the dynamic redefinition and making of space today. The gradual processes of adjustment, the making of a constantly changing dense space, the emphasis on forming rather than on figure, the incorporation of new forms and languages through their adaptation and transformation, make both Manhattan and Venice, in different ways, the ideal places to contextualize and address the issue of an architecture of the dynamic.

Descriere
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.
