The idea of a town must be strong enough to survive the inevitable chaotic overlay of urban experience, Joseph Rykwert asserts in this fundamental book on urban form. In his preface to this new edition he reviews the developments over the past thirty ears, in archeology, in historical and philological work, and in urban planning and architectural trends that make The Idea of a Town timely once again; a reminder that recognizable patterns and texture, public open space, and conspicuous institutions can enrich the late twentieth-century city which has become preoccupied with the isolated architectural object, with physical and market forces.<br /> <br /> Rykwert focuses on the Roman town as a work of art, a symbolic pattern deliberately created and enjoyed by its inhabitants - its shape and the structure of the spaces constructed on the basis of beliefs and rituals. His starting point is the ancient texts: mythical, historical, and ritual in which city-foundations are told and played out, and in particular the "Etruscan rite," a group of ceremonies which regulated the creation of practically all Roman towns.<br /> <br /> The principal institutions of the town, its walls and gates, its central shrines, and its public spaces, were all part of a pattern to which the myths which accompanied them provide clues. As in the other "closed" societies Rykwert investigates and compares throughout the book, these rituals and myths served to create a secure home for Roman citizens, placing them firmly in a knowable universe.<br /> <br /> Joseph Rykwert is Paul Philippe Cret Professor of Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania.

becoming a classic; nonetheless, the theorical stance of the book, requires reader a careful re-thinking
评分As with myth, so with ritual – its origin is out of reach; it is its transmission which matters.
评分以罗马建城史主导的对于古代世界城市建设原理的探究。当然方法论是反对过度机械统计化的城市研究手段而是从原始宇宙观与神话入手咯。古代世界多有爱啊。
