The Continuous City by Lars Lerup Book PDF Summary
The fourteen essays in The Continuous City offer a survey of Lerup's thinking on identity and monumentality and the relationship between nature and culture. His interest and reflections focus, among other things, on Roberto Burle Marx, a founder of modern landscape design; the 'dancing floors' of Rem Koolhaas's Seattle Central Library; Herzog & de Meuron's 1111 Lincoln Road project in Miami Beach; and the character of urban icons like Coop Himmelb(l)au's Dalian International Conference Center.
