paperback. Condition: Buono (Good). Brossura editoriale di 348 pagine. Precise sottolineature e postille a matita; copia ben tenuta e fruibile in ogni sua parte -- Non c'è più Comune, Provincia, Regione o Università che non voglia immolarsi a un grande architetto, pagandone le salatissime parcelle e tarpando le ali ai giovani, grazie a pseudo-concorsi blindati da barriere impossibili da superare per un talento geniale ma alle prime armi. Vi è una sorta di piaggeria del potere nei confronti delle archistar che davvero sgomenta: possono lanciare le loro uova marce su un Tintoretto, lasciare il loro segno imperituro avulso dal contesto quale monumento al loro narcisismo, senza che nessuno esclami che il re è nudo. Scritti di Nikos A. Salingaros con contributi di Natalia Albensi, Michel Bauwens, Peter Glidewell, Leon Krier, Kenneth Masden, Michael Mehaffy, Giorgio Muratore, Pietro Pagliardini, Giancarlo Puppo e Giorgio Santilli. Book.

Mikiten; e tre nuovi saggi scritti per l'edizione italiana. Indice integrale consultabile nelle nostre immagini. Qualche sottolineatura a matita, peraltro buona-ottima copia -- Questo libro è l'inizio di un contrattacco atteso e dovuto: l'autore, docente all'Università del Texas, espone la critica radicale di uno scienziato alla distruttività delle ultime tendenze architettoniche. Il decostruttivismo, ultima moda degli architetti, rivela la vera natura di tutto il modernismo, che è distruttiva della città, della società e della cultura umana. Infatti ha prodotto quel mondo di città invivibili, rumore incessante, distruzione di matrici naturali, con la relativa popolazione incivile, pericolosa, egoista e con tutti i conseguenti orrori, per cui la società avanzata sta diventando un incubo, nel quale anche gli edifici sono distorti, deformati e minacciosi. La lettura di questo libro, diretto a chiunque si interessi di architettura, dovrebbe essere obbligatoria nelle istituzioni dove si insegna progettazione, pianificazione e altri aspetti dell'ambiente costruito.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -'The Emperor Has No Clothes' is an old adage, but, in the sad case of Deconstructivism, it is absolutely appropriate, as Deconstructivism is really nothing more than Modernism in a new guise. Modernists, notably the Bauhäusler, aimed for the clean slate, jettisoning everything that went before. Yet, at times, they claimed links with antecedents to give a spurious historical ancestry to their aims and creations. These questionable links and precedents are now being claimed for the works of Deconstructivists by sympathetic architects and their supporters. The second edition of this book is the beginning of a long-overdue counterattack. Französisch.
