Writing Spaces : Discourses of Architecture, Urbanism and the Built Environment, 1960-2000
ISBN: 9780415274920 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Writing Spaces examines and compares discourses of architecture, urbanism and the built environment between 1960 and 2000, a period in which economies and cultures in the world became ever more interdependent; in which technologies revolutionized production and communications and when the social and spatial organization of built environments and cities were massively transformed. As a response to these developments, social theory has been recast, arguing that space is the medium of social change and hence political struggle. Writing Spaces draws upon these debates. It suggests that research...

The End of Tradition?
ISBN: 9780415290401 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 'Since the beginning of history, human beings have been fascinated with endings - the end of their lives, the end of seasons and the end of the world . . .', so says Nezar AlSayyad in his preface to The End of Tradition? But, he and his contributors argue, endings are also coupled with beginnings, and destruction is sometimes a precondition for construction or reconstruction, particularly where the built environment is concerned. Indeed, the end of tradition does not entail the death of tradition itself, only our conception of it - and the emergence of a need to re-evaluate its utility as a...

In the years after the 1994 transition to democracy in South Africa, planners were convinced that they would be able to successfully promote a vision of integrated, equitable and sustainable cities, and counter the spatial distortions created by apartheid.
