What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Collage City ist eine Kritik der modernen Architektur und zugleich der Aufruf, Theorie und Praxis von Planung und Städtebau zu überdenken. Colin Rowe und Fred Koetter erklären die moderne Architektur als Heilsbotschaft und den modernen Städtebau als Versuch, eine Idealvorstellung von totaler Ordnung zu verwirklichen. Sie unterscheiden zwei Arten von Utopien: Utopie als Objekt der Betrachtung und Utopie als Handlungsanweisung. Sie unterscheiden zwei Arten von Modernismus: den technikbesessenen und möchtegern-wissenschaftlichen Modernismus und einen ganz anders gearteten Modernismus der modernen Kunst (eines Picasso, Strawinsky, Joyce, T.S. Eliot). Während der erste sie abschreckt, begrüßen sie die Implikationen des zweiten. Die Collage wird dabei als Verfahren und Geisteshaltung des Architekten propagiert, indem das Vorhandene als Grundlage für die Weiterentwicklung der Stadt dienstbar gemacht wird. Diese Ausgabe ist durch ein neues Nachwort von Colin Rowe ergänzt.
