Learning from China
de Carl Fingerhuth · Publicada por primera vez en 2004
"In writing about cities in the era beyond modernism, Carl Fingerhuth draws on the personal and intensely formative influence of Chinese Taoist philosophy on his work as an architect and town planner." "Using projects and anecdotes from his own professional experience, Carl Fingerhuth carefully outlines a new approach to caring for our towns. As state architect for the Swiss city of Basel, Carl Fingerhuth collaborated with architects Michael Alder, Santiago Calatrava, Roger Diener, Jacques Herzog, and Pierre De Meuron. The results of these collaborations illustrate the direction in which cities might develop as they evolve beyond modernism. With examples from his work in Switzerland, Europe, Africa, and Asia, Carl Fingerhuth makes a powerful case for fundamentally re-evaluating how we care for our cities."--BOOK JACKET.
