Description
Professor Kostof focuses on a number of themes - organic patterns, the grid, the city as diagram, the grand manner and the skyline - and interprets the hidden order of urban patterns. Photographs, historical views and specially commissioned drawings vividly depict a global mosaic of citybuilding: the shaping of medieval Siena; the creation of New Dehli as the crwon of the Raj. Each of these underscores the author's premise that the construction of cities is a collective act, and that cities are the embodiment of community.
