Description
What is architecture, and what should it be? What damage have four decades of communism and modernist avant-garde movements inflicted on it? How does society affect the quality of the built environment? What distinguishes us from Western countries, and why are we not building? Are our cities in danger? Does an architect have a social responsibility? Does insulating buildings create a sustainable and healthy environment? What is the relationship between architecture and art? How should we draw inspiration from the past? Can contemporary architecture be both conservative and modern? This book attempts to answer these and many other questions about current issues in architectural and urban-planning practice.
