Softcover. Condition: Very Good. An effort has been made to bring the reader to look on the city as an entity which expresses certain ideals. The individual monuments, the buildings, thus become part of a whole. The cities are not all treated in the same fashion or according to a particular method. The chapters are as varied as the subjects, for there are no two cities in the world that are identical. Seller Inventory # SKU2010025491

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a captivating journey through the history of cities and their architecture. Examining both the grand plans of imperial capitals like Peking and the simple grids of colonial towns, the author explores the interplay of culture, power, and practical necessity in shaping the urban landscape. Moving beyond mere aesthetics, the book delves into the social and cultural meaning embedded in city structures, revealing how architecture reflects the ideals, beliefs, and aspirations of its time. The author illuminates how the need for defense in the era of gunpowder transformed the ideal city from a temple to the divine to a fortress against earthly enemies. Ultimately, this book offers a profound and insightful look at how cities are not simply collections of buildings but living expressions of the societies that create them.
