Description

Abstract from the publisher :
 
Concerning architecture and the city, built, imagined and narrated, this book focuses on Manhattan and Venice, but considers architecture as an intellectual and spatial process rather than a product.

A critical look at the making of Manhattan and Venice provides a background to addressing the dynamic redefinition and making of space today. The gradual processes of adjustment, the making of a constantly changing dense space, the emphasis on forming rather than on figure, the incorporation of new forms and languages through their adaptation and transformation, make both Manhattan and Venice, in different ways, the ideal places to contextualize and address the issue of an architecture of the dynamic.
 
Teresa Stoppani is Reader in Architecture at the University of Greenwich, UK, where she directs the postgraduate Architecture History and Theory courses, and visiting lecturer in History and Theory Studies at the Architectural Association, London, UK.
