Kari Jormakka ° The Art of the City. From Camillo Sitte to Today.

€ 15,00

A Romantic troubadour resisting the inevitable onslaught of modernism and a backwardlooking prophet of New Urbanism – or rather a proponent of modern visuality, a harbinger of the touristic gaze and Las Vegas, a precursor of Rem Koolhaas? Camillo Sitte has been portrayed in many ways ever since his book on urban design, Der Städtebau nach seinen künstlerischen Grundsätzen, became an international bestseller upon its publication in 1889. The present volume comprises eleven new essays examining Sitte’s vision, the origins of his thought, his influence from the 1890s to the present day, and his continuing relevance in the contemporary discourse on the city. Written by an international group of architectural theorists and historians, the collection calls for a reconsideration of Camillo Sitte’s legacy.
