Items related to In the Life of Cities
This volume addresses the complex relations between urban artifacts and urban life. The contributions show how architects, planners, and urban designers describe and give shape to the city, while novelists, humanists, and other scholars examine its operations and performances. The essential question is: How does the physical character of an urban environment influence or enable the events that take place within a specific setting? Contributors from a wide range of fields address the role and life of cities as diverse as Baku, Buenos Aires, Cairo, Detroit, Jakarta, Johannesburg, Mumbai, Paris, Quito, St. Petersburg, Tel Aviv, Tirana, and Toronto. Portfolios of contemporary photography present the layered realities of urban life today. With contributions by Arjun Appadurai, Eve Blau, Svetlana Boym, Lindsay Bremner, Jana Cephas, Felipe Correa, Rahul Mehrotra, Mohsen Mostafavi, Antoine Picon, Gyan Prakash, Nasser Rabbat, Rafi Segal, Jorge Silvetti, AbdouMaliq Simone, and Charles Waldheim.

Neuware - Woraus beziehen Orte ihre spezifische Qualität, und was definiert das Leben einer Stadt Es ist die Aufgabe von Architekten und Städteplanern, die organisatorischen und funktionellen Strukturen, den Aufbau und die konkreten Eigenschaften unserer Städte zu beschreiben und zu erfinden. Aber in welcher Beziehung steht die Gestaltung einer Stadt - ihre Form - zu dem Leben, das durch diese Form geprägt wird Von dieser Frage geht In the Life of Cities aus. Anhand unterschiedlicher Beispiele setzen sich Beiträge aus verschiedensten Themenbereichen damit auseinander, wie das urbane Leben mit der jeweiligen Stadtgestaltung zusammenhängt.
