Description
Inverse Utopia explores urbanism through the lenses of modernist and postmodernist thought, as well as its relationship with commercialization in shaping the modern city.
The author argues for the development of architectural and urban forms that respond to contemporary ecological and social challenges. This collection of essays examines connections between architectural morphology and the consumer economy.
Building on his earlier work, Inverse Utopia offers a nuanced perspective on the challenges facing urban design in the present day.
