Accompanying the 4th International Architecture Biennial Rotterdam, which carries the same theme as the title of this publication, Open City provides an in-depth study of the role that architecture and urban planning can play in enhancing the quality of life in a city. Designed by Mevis & van Deursen, the book features contributions from such names as; Kees Christiaanse, Marc Angelil, Bart Goldhoorn, Christian Salewski and Peter Sloterdijk. Divided in two parts, the first sees a collection of professionals drawn from different practices, charting the different dimensions of the Open City and the threats it faces. While in part two, designs for the Open City by architects, planners and activists that have actually been implemented are analysed and discussed.

Couverture souple. Condition: Bon état. Livre en anglais. In-4 broché 27 cm sur 20. 464 pages. Bon état d'occasion. Le livre démontre le rôle crucial que l'architecture et le design urbain peuvent jouer pour permettre l'accès et faciliter coexistence - pour stimuler les conditions d'une ville ouverte. Cette une notion est tenue ; à mesure que nos villes grandissent et se diversifient, les groupes sociaux et culturels luttent pour coexister et font des demandes contradictoires sur les ressources de la ville. Pour beaucoup, les opportunités que la ville promet sont rares ou inaccessibles. Comment nos villes peuvent-elles offrir un accès à tous en ce millénaire ? Seller Inventory # 113914
