Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"[Huxtable's] clear, sharp prose penetrates the haze of bad excuses, good intentions and absurd ideologies in which so many bad decisions about the shape of the world are hatched. . . . Since Lewis Mumford stopped writing about the subject, Huxtable has been our strongest voice on both the aesthetics and the ethics of our surroundings."--Thomas Hine, "Philadelphia Inquirer

Reseña del editor:

The skyscraper is the building type that dominates our cities, absorbs vast amounts of capital in design, construction and maintenance and houses large numbers of people in offices and apartments. Ada Louise Huxtable offers here an energetic defence of cities and a consideration of the skyscaper as art, as business and as the product of politics and speculation.
