A New Theory of Urban Design
ISBN: 9780195037531 / Angielski / Twarda / 1987 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

Rock is vulgar, Pattison notes, and vulgarity is something that high culture has long despised but rarely bothered to define. This book is the first effort since John Ruskin and Aldous Huxley to describe in depth what vulgarity is, and how, with the help of ideas inherent in...
