书籍介绍
In the 1920s, the urban theory of Ludwig Hilberseimer (1885–1967) redefined architecture's relationship to the city. His proposal for a high-rise city, where leisure, labor, and circulation would be vertically integrated, both frightened his contemporaries and offered a trenchant critique of the dynamics of the capitalist metropolis. Hilberseimer's Großstadtarchitektur is presented here for the first time in an English translation. Its propositions encourage us to reconsider mobility, concentration, and the scale of architectural intervention in our own era of urban expansion.

这年头除了Caruso之外，最能圈钱的应该就是Aureli了。不过他的文章还是不错的，虽然看多了就会发现有些观点不能苟同，比如他说Rossi和Hilberseimer的共同点之一是两人都视城市为最重要的，建筑为城市服务。嗯，Rossi明明就更关心纪念物啊，说城市只为找理由
