4. Collage City January 1, 1978
This book is a critical reappraisal of contemporary
theories of urban planning and design and of the role of
the architect-planner in an urban context. The authors,
rejecting the grand utopian visions of "total planning" and
"total design," propose instead a "collage city" which can
accommodate a whole range of utopias in miniature.
Colllege city :
• “anti-utopia”
• Cities could be improved through the collaging of
variety of urban elements
• The concept is “bricoleur*”
• Real cities have been shaped by the accumulation of
step-by-step progress
• The city as a museum
• Bricoleur* architecture makes a whole
*Bricoleur: person who engage in bricolage
Bricolege : construction or creation from a diverse range of available things.
