Our cities are changing radically these years. Theories and concepts such as the Anthropocene age, queer theory, non- and post-humanism, biodiversity and cohabitation pose radically new questions and demands for future urban development and architectural practice. In order to understand and engage with these societal changes and topics of discussion, the architectural community needs a place to find thought-provoking ideas that specifically address them.
‘The Aesthetics of Gravity’ is the first book in a new pocketbook series on The Classics of Architecture. It includes a selection of Simmel’s writings in the form of ten essays that are relevant both for the architect and the art enthusiast. The book is illustrated with works by e.g. Michelangelo , Bernini, Toyokuni I, Christen Kobke, Rodin and J.F. Willumsen.
