Więcej o książce

The book presents the influential ideas of Camillo Sitte, an Austrian architect and theorist, who revolutionized urban planning with his 1889 work, "The Art of Building Cities." Sitte criticized the focus on straight boulevards and traffic convenience, advocating for medieval-inspired designs with curving streets and T-intersections to enhance urban aesthetics and reduce traffic conflicts. His innovative concepts, including "turbine squares," gained widespread acceptance in Austria, Germany, and Scandinavia, shaping modern urban design in those regions.
