Product details

The book "Metaphors for the City" by Sonja Hnilica offers an in-depth analysis of the role of metaphors in architecture and urban planning. It highlights how architects conceive cities through various metaphors, including concepts such as urban landscape, urban palimpsest, and city memory. Hnilica fills a research gap by using the urban writings of Camillo Sitte as a starting point and examining the metaphors of significant architects from Vitruvius to Rem Koolhaas. This examination reveals a direct connection between city metaphors and architectural concepts, leading to a fresh perspective on central traditions and controversies in urban discourse.
