Ladders (Architecture at Rice, 34)

Ladders (Architecture at Rice, 34) by Pope, Albert. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781885232014.

World War II brought about catastrophic changes in western urban production. While it is clear that the complex fabric of traditional urban form has been replaced by equally complex contemporary urban space, it is less clear what role form continues to play in its present structural configuration. Ladders attempts to identify the contemporary dialectic between urban space and form as the key to engaging the unprecedented qualities of contemporary urban space.
