City Books Set (5 Books)

The City Books Set brings together five important works that address the historical, aesthetic, and socio-cultural transformation of cities. Ranging from Camillo Sitte to Le Corbusier, these works offer a unique resource for anyone interested in urbanism and architecture.

Towns and Buildings

With drawings by Steen Eiler Rasmussen, Towns and Buildings holds a special place in architectural literature, appealing not only to architects and urban planners but also to anyone interested in cultural history.

Urbanisme

Urbanisme, which holds an important place in Le Corbusier's conception of the city and can be described as the manifesto of the modernist city, also carries traces of the famous architect's Eastern journey through its references to Istanbul.

The Crown of the City

Bruno Taut's book, one of the important works of 20th-century architectural literature and describable as an "architectural utopia," also includes texts by Paul Scheerbart, Adolf Behne, and Erich Baron.

Urban Utopias in the Twentieth Century

Written by Robert Fishman, the book examines the ideal city designs of Ebenezer Howard, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Le Corbusier with a comprehensive analysis.

City Planning According to Artistic Principles

Camillo Sitte's work, titled City Planning According to Artistic Principles, is one of the founding texts of the discipline of urbanism and stands as one of the fundamental milestones that define the theoretical background of the urban planning discipline.
