Building-in-Time from Giotto to Alberti and Modern Oblivion

Product Information

ISBN 978-1-935709-50-3 In these projects he creates fresh ubieties -- ways of being in places -- in a city where historical memory is absent, Los Angeles. The author argues that the results have the structure of literary narration; that reality is stitched together with the thread of a cohesive argument. The author proposes a fresh perspective on Gehry's project based on the idea that he calls the relatus, or narration. And while they of course do not re-create all aspects of "reality," they do make up a coherent whole. The author posits that these projects are more than isolated designs but are in fact reflections on how to build a city in time.
