Vertigo: The Strange New World Of The Contemporary City
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
This extremely, rare, First Edition, architecture and art book, entitled "Vertigo: The Strange New World of the Contemporary City" is written by Rowan Moore, with a foreword by Jacques Herzog. Dissecting the new architectural landscape of the industrialized world, this collection of essays explores 10 recently completed projects which exemplify the forces that are shaping contemporary cities. It responds to a particular moment when architects are being compelled to answer the challenges of new media, globalization, post-industrial culture and the unprecedented scale and speed of modern development. These challenges have made the great concerns of the 20th-century architecture - the Modern Movement, Postmodernism and High-Tech - seem irrelevant. In contrast to the bland future-gazing that the eve of the new millennium has tended to inspire, this book sets out to evoke tangible urban experiences. Published in 1999 by Laurence King Publishing, this First Edition, hardback book is in brand new, mint condition, with the pages, and hardcover of the book all being in mint condition, with very minor wear on the shrink wrap cover of the book.
