Synopsis
Excerpt from Drawings, 1967-1980
I am therefore interested in what Architecture is? There was Architecture; there has been Architecture; today there is none unless it survives from previous ages. That is the truth. This is the reason why I can say in all modesty I can only make Architecture, because I do not build or I do not build, because I am an Architect.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the philosophy and practice of architecture and urban planning, offering a critique of contemporary approaches while advocating for a return to traditional, human-scaled design principles. The author, a prominent architect and urban planner, argues that the industrialisation of building and the functional zoning of cities have led to the decline of urban life and the destruction of cultural heritage. Set against the backdrop of 20th-century urban development, the book challenges the dominance of modernist architecture and its emphasis on progress and innovation. Instead, it proposes a reconstruction of the European city based on the principles of classical architecture and vernacular building traditions. Streets, squares, and urban quarters are envisioned as the essential elements of a thriving city, fostering community, walkability, and a sense of place. The book explores themes of resistance, cultural memory, and the role of the architect in shaping the built environment. It calls for a rejection of short-term thinking and a return to the values of craftsmanship, permanence, and beauty in architecture. By rediscovering the timeless principles of traditional urban design, the author suggests, we can create cities that are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing, socially cohesive, and sustainable for generations to come. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
