Abstract (en)

Assessment of 20th c. American urban architecture, noting the failure of modernism to create workable, lively, and understandable everyday buildings. Argues that the quest for the 1990s should be an architecture that has the sensual, emotional component that so much modernism lacked, that avoids the starkness and dullness of so much modernism, and yet is also part of a larger urban whole.
