{"product_id":"sehirler-ve-yapilar-1","title":"Cities and Structures","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSteen Eiler Rasmussen’s book \"Towns and Buildings\" has been published with a revised translation. The book, published under the general editorship of Aykut Köksal and edited by Pınar Gökbayrak, was translated into Turkish by Deniz Özden. \"Towns and Buildings,\" which holds a special place in architectural literature with Rasmussen's own drawings, was met with great interest upon its first publication. Addressing not only architects and urban planners but also anyone interested in cultural history, the book, which handles its subjects with an essayistic freedom and flavor, offers its readers an enjoyable journey through cities with its meticulously prepared second edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Rasmussen says in his preface to the book: \"An unusual house in any street immediately attracts attention, but no impression of the street as a whole remains. It is easy to notice a specific detail, but on the contrary, it is quite difficult to grasp the whole, however simple it may be. The interest in fragmented details, which most people take for granted, is further provoked by what they read. Countless books have been written on historical styles. These books show how the productions of different periods differ from each other with small and seemingly insignificant features. The ability to define and classify architecture is often useful when traveling; there are travel guides that draw attention to every work that should be seen. Such guides also list all the structures a traveler should admire. But these travelers see no more in the cities themselves than what they see in the museum sections where the works of art are located.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e This book has tried to show the reader the existence of cities, pointing to certain ideals. Thus, monuments and structures, one by one, became parts of a whole. The cities here were not approached with a specific method or in a similar manner. The chapters of the book are as varied as the subjects they cover, because there are not even two identical cities in the world. In some cases, much can be learned by observing common characteristics that arise under the same conditions and for the same reasons, while in others it is necessary to investigate the traces of unique development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e The purpose of the book was not so much a systematic presentation of the history of urban planning and architecture, but rather to collect topics related to cities and buildings, which the author felt he enjoyed working on, through chapters arranged without adherence to a specific rule. We hope that the book will leave a new impression on the interested reader, just as in a journey where we discover entirely new things, and now find new meaning in old, familiar things.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cu data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arketon Yayınları","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48343480991987,"sku":"9786057455499","price":1424.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/products\/Rasmussen-Kapak-Yeni-2.jpg?v=1649247104","url":"https:\/\/yemkitabevi.com\/en-us\/products\/sehirler-ve-yapilar-1","provider":"YEM Kitabevi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
