Small scale. Creative solutions for better city living

Sobre el libro Small scale. Creative solutions for better city living de Robert Linn i Keith Moskow publicado por Princeton Architectural Press al 2010:

Think big, design small. This is the rallying cry of a new generation of architects and artists who aim to improve the lives of city-dwellers through small-scale public design projects. Using the city as an open-source platform for ideas, these visionaries create "urban interventions" to address problems specific to urban life. Small Scale presents fifty ingenious yet simple projects ranging from the purely conceptual to the fully realized. From a bridge that curls up into itself when not in use, to a stacked rental car dispenser, to a bus-stop like shelter that uses bright lights to treat seasonal affective disorder in the winter, these projects energize our cities’ leftover spaces and help us imagine the future of our urban infrastructure.
