Sverre Fehn and the City: Rethinking Architecture’s Urban Premises
«
"What if a good urban solution doesn’t involve ‘fitting into existing conditions’ but adding a clear and articulate voice to barely audible communications about ways of living that could be less wasteful, more humane, and just? Read this forward-looking book to discover modern architecture’s positive contribution to the city and the cultures it embodies."
David Leatherbarrow, Emeritus Professor of Architecture, University of Pennsylvania
"This is a thesis that takes architectural scholarship and criticism to an entirely new level, in part because of the exceptionally sensitive talent and inventive energy of Sverre Fehn, and in part because of Anderson’s comparable sensitivity and profound erudition, influenced as it has been by the architectural phenomenologies of Dalibor Vesely and David Leatherbarrow. This is a truly important work."
Kenneth Frampton, Emeritus Professor of Architecture Columbia University
