This cycle has recently also taken hold of the architecture of the city, leading to a waste that is both economically and ecologically unacceptable. The destruction of buildings that are not actually obsolete is just as questionable as the production of extravagant architectures for which there is no real need. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book is a protest against the merciless globalisation of the city and its dissolution into faceless, inhospitable peripheries. At the same time, it puts forward alternative strategies of urban design that can counteract this globalisation and dissolution. It formulates a different approach to urbanism, one which views the city not as a carnivalesque display of vanities but as a sophisticated spatial construction that lays down the conditions for productive, peaceful, and gratifying lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 386922701X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783869227016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dom Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/16\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 8.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43943702266111,"sku":"9783869227016","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2b0768a3-a0d7-4142-8c91-93c2c2642619.jpg?v=1681499580","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/radical-normal-vittorio-magnago-lampugnani-9783869227016","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
