Building and Dwelling
In Building and Dwelling, Richard Sennett distils a lifetime's thinking and practical experience to explore the relationship between the good built environment and the good life. He shows how the design of cities can enrich or diminish the everyday experience of those who dwell in them.The book ranges widely - from London, Paris and Barcelona to Shanghai, Mumbai and Medellin in Colombia - and draws on classic thinkers such as Tocqueville, Heidegger, Max Weber, and Walter Benjamin. He argues for, and describes in rich detail, the idea of an open city, one in which people learn to manage complexity.
He shows what works ethically is often the most practical solution for cities' problems.This is a humane and thrilling book, which allows us to think freshly about how we live in cities. It also draws on Sennett's many decades as a practical planner himself, testing what works, what doesn't, and why. The experience and wisdom of the author are visible on every page.
His voice is distinctive and engaging. It should attract anyone interested in the physical circumstances of civilization.
