Stadtebau Architektur

There's something magical about some cities. They are artificial worlds that have nevertheless grown like organic entities over the centuries. Here futuristic experimental buildings contrast with historical monuments, spectacular pomp is found alongside minimalist elegance - and everywhere in between, people. Our major cities are condensed cultural histories that provide evidence of the changing rhythms of life in both the past and the present. Urban Design and Architecture is a richly illustrated journey through the architectural events of the 20th century. At the same time, it provides an exciting documentation of the interrelation of people, time, and architecture.
