Description

Site Matters: Design Concepts, Histories and Strategies by Routledge provides a deep look into the evolution of architectural and urban planning theories. For much of the twentieth century, many designers chose to ignore the physical and social context surrounding a building. This book examines the shift away from that approach, focusing on the reaction against Modernism that began in the 1960s and grew through the 1980s. By analyzing the designs of Le Corbusier, the text presents the early theories and vocabulary used by architects to reincorporate the wider context into their plans. It serves as a resource for understanding how the appreciation of site changed the way buildings are integrated into their environments. Through a mix of theoretical essays and empirical research, this work tracks the movement of planners and architects as they moved toward a more contextual way of designing.
