Description
First published in 1981 and now revived by Routledge, this influential work examines a fundamental paradox of modern built environments: despite delivering material comfort and technical efficiency, contemporary landscapes often inspire despair rather than hope. The author traces this contradiction to humanism's evolution into a rationalistic ideology that prioritizes efficiency whilst neglecting intangible human values and qualities. By exploring the tension between rational problem-solving and deeper existential needs, the book challenges assumptions about progress and built form. Essential reading for students of architecture, landscape design, and cultural geography seeking to understand how modern design philosophy shapes both physical spaces and human experience, this Routledge Revival edition restores an important text to contemporary debate about sustainable, humane environments.
