Krátky popis
From the acclaimed landscape designer, historian and author of
American Eden, a lively, unique, and accessible cultural history of
modern citiesfrom suburbs, downtown districts, and exurban sprawl,
to shopping malls and sustainable developmentsthat allows us to
view them through the planning, design, architects, and movements
that inspired, created, and shaped them. Dream Cities explores our
cities in a new wayas expressions of ideas, often conflicting,
about how we should live, work, play, make, buy, and believe. It
tells the stories of the real architects and thinkers whose
imagined cities became the blueprints for the world we live in.
From the nineteenth century to today, what began as visionary
conceptssometimes utopian, sometimes outlandish, always
controversialwere gradually adopted and constructed on a massive
scale in cities around the world, from Dubai to Ulan Bator to
London to Los Angeles. Wade Graham uses the lives of the pivotal
dreamers behind these concepts, as well as their acolytes and
antagonists, to deconstruct our urban landscapesthe houses, towers,
civic centers, condominiums, shopping malls, boulevards, highways,
and spaces in betweenexposing the ideals and ideas embodied in
each. From the baroque fantasy villages of Bertram Goodhue to the
superblocks of Le Corbusiers Radiant City to the pseudo-agrarian
dispersal of Frank Lloyd Wrights Broadacre City, our upscale leafy
suburbs, downtown skyscraper districts, infotainment-driven
shopping malls, and sustainable eco-developments are seen as never
before.In this elegantly designed and illustrated book, Graham
uncovers the original plans of brilliant, obsessed, and sometimes
megalomaniacal designers, revealing the foundations of todays
varied municipalities. Dream Cities is nothing less than a field
guide to our modern urban world. Illustrated with 59
black-and-white photos throughout the text.
