As an architect you design for the present, with an awareness of the past, for a future which is essentially unknown… – N. Foster The new book exhibition presented at The Circulation Desk of Foreign Literature (4 Turgeneva St., room 356) is dedicated to the search for an alternative to the established rules of urban construction. The items selected for the exhibition «The Architecture of the City: in Search for an Alternative» are not only a «theory» with a great amount of drawings and descriptions of the architectural projects, but a true «practice» as well! Taking a skillfully designed double-spread photo album, just imagine virtual tours of the cities feeling the atmosphere of a cozy Viennese cafe or enjoying the architectural masterpieces of snowy Sweden with the the aroma of just brewed tea. Would you be amazed by the plenty of plants in the towns of Liguria or a dizzying climb to the roofs of the London skyscrapers? Or would Russian towns, such as Veliky Novgorod or St. Petersburg, seem most beautiful? Whoever you are: a tireless adventurer, an inquisitive architect or a reader eager to learn more about the design and layout of urban space, we welcome you to the new exhibition «The Architecture of the City: in Search for an Alternative»! Lists of publications from the exhibition. |
