{"product_id":"urban-structures-for-the-future","title":"Urban Structures for the Future","description":"219 pp. Includes 203 black-and-white illustrations and 257 plans. This book brings together the different and often conflicting theories and researches in town planning currently being undertaken--from cellular agglomerates (Hausrucker-Co.) to \"Clip-on\" or \"Plug-in\" architecture (the Metabolists and Archigram), grid structures (Yona Friedman, Constant, Schulze-Fielitz), containers (Bukminster Fuller and Frei Otto), marine structures (as developed by Tange and Kikutake) and the megastructures of Paolo Soleri. It presents concisely the often complex sociological and technological premises that underlie what may at first appear to be extravagantly conceived urban forms. It shows were current research may make certain fantasies more likely of realization than others, the impact on society which such substantially modified environments will bring about, and the changed function of the architect and planner.","brand":"Praeger Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39718044205126,"sku":"2320232","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2320232.jpg?v=1641931600","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/urban-structures-for-the-future","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
