Description
Book SynopsisIn "Global City Blues", renowned architect Daniel Solomon presents a perceptive overview and insightful assessment of how the power and seductiveness of modernist ideals led us astray. As an alternative, Solomon discusses how architecture and cities can offer a vital counterbalance to the forces of sprawl, urban disintegration, and placelessness that have so transformed the contemporary landscape.
Trade Review"Global City Blues is one of the rare architecture books that will resonate with any thoughtful reader." - SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE "If only all architects could write as engagingly as Daniel Solomon!... This is a big-picture book rather than a how-to book, but it's much better reading than most overviews of the transition from the modernist mindset to however it is that we think and see design now." - PLANNING"
