Description

Austrian architect Hermann Czech's influential ideas on architecture and city planning are now available in English for the first time. This collection of essays spans his six-decade career, offering insights into his unique architectural theory and its connections to philosophy and historical context.

Czech's work challenges conventional approaches to modernism, instead emphasizing the importance of reason over style. He also engages with key thinkers such as Hegel, Kant, Wittgenstein, and Adorno, applying their ideas to architectural topics. This book provides a unique opportunity to explore Czech's thought-provoking essays on mannerism, underestimated architecture, and the role of philosophy in shaping urban development.

With its focus on precise terminology and historical context, this collection is essential reading for architects, urban planners, and anyone interested in the intersection of philosophy and design.
