Product Description
Review
"Rare, intelligent and provocative stuff." - Iain Borden, Building Design "After the City gives a valuable new framework for understanding our emerging metropolis environment." - Robin M. Ellerthorpe, Forum for Applied Research and Public Policy
Product Description
According to Lars Lerup, architecture and architects must be rethought. The suburban metropolis has superseded the city and building materials are non-material: electricity, telephony, weather, time and so forth. Lerup holds that architectural educators should promote teamwork and the design of authorless objects, combined with an integration of design and practice. Lerup moves from contemplation of the form and philosophical implications of the Pantheon to a discussion of how Levittown residents seek and create community. He takes an optimistic view of the new, open metropolis - for him not the site of unavoidable uniformity and mediocrity, but an exciting new frontier.
