作者简介

罗西是意大利理性主义建筑运动的领头人，也是当今最有影响的一位理论家。本书是他有关建筑和城市理论的一部重要著作，是最受建筑师和设计师欢迎的一部理论论著。罗西在本书中对现代建筑运动进行了重新评价，同时也分析了城市建设的规则和形式。罗西并不着重于评论乏味的建筑形式，或是摒弃现代建筑中的标准形象，而是如其书名那样，突出讨论了作为“人们集合记忆”宝库的城市所遭受的忽视和破坏。他一方面抨击了功能主义和现代建筑运动，另一方面力图恢复建筑工艺自身的地位，并使其成为建筑研究的惟一正确的研究对象。 本书将为我国城市规划师、建筑师等专业人员及相关专业在校师生提供许多启发和教益，是城市规划、建设、管理、开发等专业很实用和具有极好参考借鉴价值的图书和教学参考书。
