The City's Architectural Project: From Formless City to Forms of Architecture
Is the city architecture's nemesis? Formless where architecture requires form, open where building projects require completion and closure; ceaseless in its development – growth and contraction – often simultaneously experiencing decay as well as expansion. Seeking to renegotiate the terms of architecture's engagement with the city, Alexander Eisenschmidt turns to some of the most significant architectural precedents of the recent past that are squarely set within the metropolis.
