Hardcover. Condición: Used - Very Good. Today's suburban metropolitan development of single-family homes, shopping centers, corporate offices, and roadway systems constitutes what Peter Rowe calls a 'middle landscape' between the city and the countryside. While others have written about this phenomenon from the point of view of sociology or cultural geography, Rowe looks closely at suburban America in terms of design and physical planning. He builds a case for a new way of seeing and building suburbia, complete with theoretical underpinnings and a basis for design.The directions Rowe pursues are threefold: what has actually been built since 1920, as simple arrangements of land, buildings, and infrastructure have been transformed into complex multi-use centers; the mythic themes, metaphors, and attitudes driving the production of important cultural artifacts like the home and the workplace; and the definition of design principles for this new landscape.Rowe looks first at how suburban expansion has altered the land, at the new spatio-cultural mosaic that has emerged and taken the place of the traditional city. He then examines four cultural artifacts - the house and its garden; the retail realm of roadside franchises and commercial strips, shopping villages and malls; the modern workplace of office parks and corporate estates; and the roadway that has become an essential link to all of these. Running throughout, he notes, is a story of technical planning and mass production where, paradoxically, rational excesses are often cloaked in romantic imagery. He concludes by proposing - and illustrating with numerous examples - a symbolic construct of 'modern pastoralism' that juxtaposes the idea of arcadian simplicity and valueagainst the modern technical temperament.Peter G.

Today's suburban development of single-family homes, shopping centers, corporate offices, and roadway systems represents what Peter Rowe describes as a "middle landscape" between urban and rural areas. While previous analyses have approached this topic from sociological or cultural geographical perspectives, Rowe focuses on suburban America through the lens of design and physical planning. He advocates for a new vision of suburbia, supported by theoretical foundations and design principles. Rowe explores how suburban expansion has reshaped the land, creating a new spatio-cultural mosaic that replaces the traditional city. He investigates four key cultural artifacts: the house and its garden, the retail landscape of franchises and malls, the modern workplace in office parks, and the roadways that connect them. Throughout, he highlights a narrative of technical planning and mass production, where rational excesses are often masked by romantic imagery. In his conclusion, Rowe proposes a concept of "modern pastoralism," contrasting the simplicity and values of an arcadian ideal with contemporary technical approaches, illustrated through various examples. This fresh perspective aims to redefine how we perceive and design suburban environments.…
