Description:


First published in 2008, (as Contro l’architettura), Against Architecture has been translated into French and Greek, with editions forthcoming in Polish and Portuguese. The book is a passionate and erudite charge against the celebrities of the current architectural world, the “archistars.” According to Franco La Cecla, architecture has lost its way and its true function, as the archistars use the cityscape to build their brand, putting their stamp on the built environment with no regard for the public good.

More than a diatribe against the trade for which he trained, Franco La Cecla issues a call to rethink urban space, to take our cities back from what he calls Casino Capitalism, which has left a string of failed urban projects, from the Sagrera of Barcelona to the expansion of Columbia University in New York City. He finds hope and some surprising answers in the 2006 uprisings in the Parisian suburbs and in wandering the streets of San Francisco. La Cecla recounts his peregrinations, whether as a consultant to urban planners or as an incorrigible flaneur, all the while giving insights into how we might find a way to resist the tyranny of the planners and find the spirit of place. As he comments throughout on the works of past and present masters of urban and landscape writing, including Robert Byron, Mike Davis, and Rebecca Solnit, Franco La Cecla has given us a book that will take an important place in our public discourse.

Vary comfortable
Size: X-Large, Color: Brown
I really like these shirts. I got one in the brown color because I didn't have a nice brown shirt. They fit so well and they have a very smooth feel, almost like silk. My wife said that I look great and that's what matters most. She also likes the fact that they are wrinkle free so there's less ironing. 😃 I now have five different colors, and they all fit perfectly, and I love the way they look and feel. Thank you

Great Color Dress shirt
Size: Medium, Color: Light Green
I purchased this dress shirt for my husband when he needed something to wear as a wedding guest. My dress had a bit of turquoise in it so we thought this would be a good compliment to what I was wearing. We ordered his normal dress shirt size and this was a perfect fit.My husband is slim and it was nice that this shirt wasn't boxy at all. The neck was a comfortable size and the arm length was spot on. He has nicer, more expensive dress shirts of better quality but this seemed to work out just fine for what we needed. The color was a nice shade of turquoise.. not too green and not too blue so we lucked out in that area also. We did wash this before wearing. My husband didn't complain about any stiffness/scratchiness etc.the whole day! I would say anyone wanting to purchase this shirt, that they will be pretty happy with the overall fit and comfort.

A dress shirt that allows for needed length.
Size: X-Large, Color: Light Green
Very nice dress shirt for a reasonable price, and for a size XL, the sleeves are actually long enough. The fit is relaxed and looked very professional, with a tie if one is appropriate.
