Hüseyin Tüzün translated the book, and Aykut Köksal edited it and wrote the foreword. In his foreword, Köksal states:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Camillo Sitte was an architect and the director of the Imperial Royal School of Applied Arts in Vienna. With his book The Art of Building Cities According to Artistic Principles, published in 1889, he is among the pioneering theorists of urbanism. In his book, Sitte examines medieval and Renaissance cities, revealing the organizational logic of urban space in the pre-industrial era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSitte's main concern was the critique of the new urban space demanded by industrial society, of which Haussmann's modern transformation of Paris in the 19th century was a prototype. Sitte's conception of the city is also in complete conflict with Le Corbusier's 'urbanistic thought' that underpinned his contemporary city plan. Indeed, Le Corbusier directly targets Camillo Sitte in his book Urbanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCamillo Sitte objects to the shaping of urban space being seen as a 'technical' problem with modernization, stating that 'it is necessary to show once again that not only one side of the problem, but also the other side, the artistic side, is at least as important.' If we translate what Sitte means by the artistic side of old cities into a structuralist language, we encounter the spatial organizational logic of the pre-industrial traditional city. The traditional city, like natural languages, forms a system, and ultimately a structure, that emerged with a certain spontaneity rather than through external intervention or deliberate design. To understand the organizational logic of urban space, one must decipher the codes of this structure. Sitte attempts to decipher these codes in this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a final word, this work, The Art of Building Cities According to Artistic Principles, is among the fundamental milestones that define the theoretical background of the discipline of urbanism. The fact that its importance was recognized at such a late date must be an indication of the discipline's weakness.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arketon Yayınları","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48343482073331,"sku":"9786259443133","price":944.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/files\/CamilloSitteSehirlerinInsasiKAPAK.jpg?v=1735292259","url":"https:\/\/yemkitabevi.com\/en-us\/products\/sanatsal-i%cc%87lkelere-gore-sehirlerin-i%cc%87nsasi","provider":"YEM Kitabevi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
