Kohler Daniel - The Mereological City A Reading Of The Works Of Ludwig Hilberseimer - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: In a positive departure from modernism the work of the art critic and urbanist Ludwig Hilberseimer offers schemata towards the design for the city itself: its mereological composition. The resonance of parts unfolds to an alternative of a purely contrasting equation of form and content. It reminds us that when the ground (gr.: logos) of the city is defined by its parts (gr.: meros) its architecture the city in turn always also is part of the architecture as its desire. " The Mereological City" introduces a mereological methodology and contributes to an ongoing discussion about an ecological form of urban design.
