Description

All-purpose architectures bringing banality to Europes cities and countryside with a vision that is imposed rather than accepted, is it inevitable? The destruction of the public space and the victory of the non-place, is it irremediable? Architectural styles that are nothing more than conceptual and abstract variations, are they inescapable? Imitation, that age-old process of artistic conception, is it now synonymous with the inability to create anything new?

These are all questions that this book seeks to answer through contemporary works and a manner of building the city and the countryside that reconnects with what is best in the European architectural tradition.
