Josep Lluís Sert

de Eric Paul Mumford, Hashim Sarkis, Neyran Turan

"This book examines the emergence and evolution of the discipline of urban design as articulated through the work of Josep Llufs Sert (1902-1983), one of its most influential practitioners and theorists." "With essays by leading scholars and a wide selection of archival materials, illustrations, plans, and maps, this book provides a timely look at the man who advocated the idea of "urban consciousness" and an architecture that dealt with the total environment-well before these concepts became commonplace."--Jacket.
