Description
Christian Norberg-Schulz, world-renowned Norwegian historian and theorist of architecture, in his most famous book with impressive photographic accompaniment, reveals the conditions and causes of the placement, emergence, and forms of cities based on an analysis of the entire system of circumstances that accompany the centuries-long development of the urban organism. He does not shy away from philosophical and ethical questions associated with cities as human settlements. He demonstrates his theoretical foundations through the analysis of three different cities: Rome, Prague, and Khartoum. He introduces a classification of landscapes, architecture, and cities – Rome is the prototype of the classical city, Prague of the romantic, and Khartoum of the cosmic. The book has been translated into many languages and continues to be published worldwide.
