Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

<div>For several years, Harvard's design graduates concentrated their studies on the phenomenon of shopping as a primary mode of urban life. As Sze Tsung Leong writes, ""Not only is shopping melting into everything, but everything is melting into shopping."" ICK! So why did we pick up this book? Because Hannah at Quimby's told us to. Hannah's right; the design is very impressive, even if the motivation for it creeps us out.</div>

Reseña del editor:

In questo libro si esaminano gli effetti della modernizzazione sulle città. Di anno in anno questo progetto di studio esamina il fenomeno in una determinata zona, sviluppando una struttura e una terminologia nuove che non possono essere inquadrate negli schemi tradizionali dell' architettura, del paesaggio, dell'urbanismo. Rem Koolhas che è il super visore di questo progetto e i suoi studenti riescono a combinare una vasta serie di campi di ricerca, dandoci una visione completa degli effetti della modernizzazione sui tessuti urbani.
