Philosophical Urbanism

Viac o knihe

Exploring the interplay between the modern mind and urban environments, this book builds on Walter Benjamin's ideas, examining how built forms reflect gender dynamics throughout history. It traces the evolution of spatial allegories, highlighting a historical balance between masculine and feminine representations that has shifted towards dominance of volume over void in modern city design. By investigating these patterns across different time periods, the work delves into the psycho-cultural implications of urban development and its impact on human perception.
