Description
Contemporary urban development is increasingly characterised by a reliance on diagrams to convey the rational, statistical point of view. In his new book Urbanisms, architect Steven Holl suggests that urban planners need to realise that the experiential power of cities cannot be completely rationalised and must be studied subjectively.
With a selection of urban and architectural projects from his twenty-year practice, Holl stretches urban planning into the domain of uncertainty. Urbanisms presents design solutions for diverse locations including: The School of Art and Art History at the University of Iowa Green Urban Laboratory in Nanning, China; Fondation Pinault Ile Seguin in Paris and the Master Plan for M.I.Ts Vassar Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. A comprehensive exploration of each project illustrates this much-celebrated and influential architects perspective on urban planning.
