Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 320 pages. Spiro Kostof, the renowned architectural historian and chronicler of urban fo rm, presents a universal history of the elements of cities: streets, public plac es, urban divisions, and the borders of city and countryside. This is both an in dependent study and a companion volume to Professor Kostof's book The City Shape d which dealt with cities as complete entities. Now he follows the evolution of their components, and traces the story right up to the present, showing how the issues remain fresh and engage with our own day, often in unexpected ways. He al so discusses urban process: the effect on cities of natural disasters (such as t he Great Fire of London and the Lisbon earthquake), war and comprehensive redeve lopment, compared with traditional patterns of incremental growth and change. Th is is at once an exercise in architectural and social history, a case-study for the present, and a pointer for the future.…

Hard Cover. Zustand: Fine. Near Fine. Second Revised Edition. Third Printing. Quarter bound in publisher's brown cloth over gray boards, gilt lettering on spine, tan endpapers. Profusely illustrated with color and B&W photographs, and drawings by Richard Tobias. When the late Spiro Kostof's A History of Architecture appeared in 1985, it was universally hailed as a masterpiece--one of the finest books on architecture ever written. The New York Times Book Review, in a front cover review, called it "a magnificent guided tour through mankind's architecture," and The San Francisco Chronicle wrote that "Kostof.has enthralled a generation of students. Now he has done the same thing for the public at large, in an extraordinary book that is a new kind of architectural history." This magisterial work has now been revised and expanded by Greg Castillo, Kostof's colleague and literary executor. Insightful, engagingly written, and graced with almost a thousand superb illustrations, the Second Edition of this classic volume offers a sweeping narrative that examines architecture as it reflects the social, economic, and technological systems of human history. The scope of the book is astonishing. No mere survey of famous buildings, Kostof's History examines a surprisingly wide variety of manmade structures: prehistoric huts and the TVA, the pyramids at Giza and the Rome railway station, the ziggurat and the department store. Indeed, Kostof considered every building worthy of attention, every structure or shelter a potential source of insight, whether it be the prehistoric hunting camps at Terra Amata, or the caves at Lascaux with their magnificent paintings, or a twenty-story hotel on the Las Vegas strip. The Second Edition features a new concluding chapter, "Designing the Fin de Siècle," based on Kostof's last lecture notes and prepared by Castillo, as well as an all-new 16-page color section. Many of the original line drawings by Richard Tobias, as well as some 50 photographs, have also been updated or replaced, for improved clarity. Visually and intellectually stimulating, this book is at once a compelling history and an indispensable reference on all aspects of our built environment. It achieves for architecture what Janson's history accomplished for visual art. . Remainder mark on bottom edge, else as new; unmarked, bright, fresh, tight, square, and clean.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. The format is approximately 9.5 inches by 11.25 inches. [8], 792 pages. Illustrations (some in color). Glossary. Index. Ink dot on the bottom edge. This is a heavy, oversized book that if sent outside of the United States will require additional shipping charges. Spiro Konstantine Kostof (7 May 1936, Istanbul 7 December 1991, Berkeley) was a Turkish-born American leading architectural historian, and educator. He was a professor at the University of California, Berkeley. His books continue to be widely read and some are routinely used in collegiate courses on architectural history. Kostof's approach emphasized urbanism as well as architecture and showed how architectural works are embedded in their physical and social contexts. Commonly accepted today, Kostof's approach was a break with previous directions which tended to emphasize the sequence of styles and to study architectural works in relative isolation from their settings.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. The format is approximately 9.25 inches by 10.25 inches. 320 pages. Illustrations (some in color). Notes. Bibliography. Index. The dust jacket has an illustrated front. Heavy book requiring additional postage. Include Introduction; The City Edge; Urban Divisions; Public Places; The Street, and Urban Process. Spiro Konstantine Kostof (7 May 1936, Istanbul 7 December 1991, Berkeley) was a Turkish-born American leading architectural historian, and educator. He was a professor at the University of California, Berkeley. His architectural history books continue to be widely read. Kostof's approach to architectural history emphasized urbanism as well as architecture and showed how architectural works are embedded in their physical and social contexts. Kostof's approach was a break with previous directions in architectural history which emphasized the sequence of styles and to study architectural works in isolation from their settings. Kostof's A History of Architecture: Settings and Rituals (1985) embodied these ideas and became a standard text. Kostof's works included The Architect: Chapters in the History of the Profession; The City Shaped: Urban Patterns and Meanings Through History; America by Design; and The City Assembled: Elements of Urban Form through History. As a memorial, the Society of Architectural Historians established, the "Spiro Kostof Award", to recognize books "in the spirit of Kostof's writings," particularly interdisciplinary works and whose content focuses on urban development, the history of urban form, and/or the architecture of the built environment. Derived from a Kirkus review: Spiro Kostof's previous book, The City Shaped, examined ways in which cities develop through history, treating them as complete entities and analyzing the various categories into which they fall. Now, in what is both a companion volume and an independent study, he traces the component elements that make up different types of cities: streets, public places, urban divisions (religious, political, and social), and the fringe area where city and countryside meet. In every instance, Professor Kostof follows a story that ranges widely in time and place up to the present to indicate that the discussion remains fresh and engages our own time in unexpected ways. In the past, all the elements of a city evolved in response to a variety of pressures. Today they are usually the result of planning decisions. In a final chapter, Kostof considers "urban process" - the effect on cities of natural disasters, war, and comprehensive redevelopment, compared with incremental growth and change. His book is thus an exercise in architectural and social history, a case study for the present, and a pointer for the future. Urban form is never innocent of social content: it is merely the matrix within which we organize daily life, and we have strong opinions about it. Modernism was a harsh intrusion in the development of almost every theme. The current recovery from the less tolerant aspects of that doctrine has made us look again at what it is that we treasure in the traditional city, and how we can recharge the old urban forms with present-day common sense. The story is also told in over three hundred drawings, prints, paintings, and photographs that trace not only patterns but uses, from the colonnaded street of ancient Palmyra to the recent demonstrations in Prague's Wenceslas Square.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Amid a display of sunshine-yellow electric appliances in a model home at the 1959 American National Exhibition in Moscow, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev and U.S. Vice President Richard Nixon squared off on the merits of their respective economic systems. One of the signature events of the cold war, the impromptu Kitchen Debate has been widely viewed as the opening skirmish in a propaganda war over which superpower could provide a better standard of living for its citizens. However, as Greg Castillo shows in 'Cold War on the Home Front,' this debate and the American National Exhibition itself were, in fact, the culmination of a decade-long ideological battle fought with refrigerators, televisions, living room suites, and prefab homes.…
