Grid meets the hills
Author: Florence Lipsky
Publisher: Editions Parenthèses
ISBN: 9782863640777
Category : Architecture
Languages : fr
Pages : 164
Book Description
"Comme la plupart des villes américaines, San Francisco s'est développée suivant un système de grille orthogonale, ne tenant pas compte de la topographie particulière (42 collines et une baie). Il en résulte un phénomène peu commun : les rues rectilignes jouent aux montagnes russes car l'outil du colonisateur et les reliefs sont entrés en guerre au mépris d'une rationalité évidente.
