I Almost Forgot
Unpublished writings of Colin Rowe—letters, essays, lectures, and a postcard—clarify his thinking on key concepts while revealing his wit and erudition. Colin Rowe (1920–1999) was one of the great architectural historians of the twentieth century, publishing the influential works The Mathematics of the Ideal Villa and Other Essays (1976) and Collage City (1978). While his written work was rigorous and authoritative, his lectures and letters were more casual, “carefully careless,” both witty and erudite. I Almost Forgot gathers twenty-three such writings—letters, essays, lectures, a postcard, and a eulogy. Both edifying and entertaining, sometimes tongue-in-cheek, occasionally sca...

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
The Politics of Heresy
This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1986.
Die Mathematik der idealen Villa
Colin Rowe gilt als der Nestor der Architekturtheorie unserer Zeit. Als Lehrender hat er die gesamte Architektur-Didaktik und damit zwei ganze Generationen von Architekten geprAgt. Seine BA1/4cher - wie etwa "Transparenz" und "Collage City" (beide ebenfalls bei BirkhAuser lieferbar) - sind heute zu Grundlagentexten der architektonischen Lehre geworden. Rowes berA1/4hmter Aufsatz "Die Mathematik der idealen Villa" erschien zuerst 1947, als der Kritiker erst 27 Jahre alt war. Diese Schrift, von Le Corbusier als "une A(c)tude extrAamement importante" gepriesen, wurde seitdem in viele Sprachen A1/4bersetzt und liegt hier nun zum erstenmal auf deutsch vor. ErgAnzend dazu hat Rowe fA1/4r diesen Band weitere Essays zu Architektur und StAdtebau ausgewAhlt. Aus der Perspektive des humanistisch gebildeten Generalisten geschrieben, sind diese AufsAtze besonders wegen ihrer zahlreichen Querverbindungen zur Kunst, Literatur und Geschichte eine ebenso geistreiche wie vergnA1/4gliche LektA1/4re.
