註釋Over more than two decades of writing, Aaron Betsky as used his knowledge of architecture and urbanism to argue for the ways in which buildings, cities and landscapes help us understand where we are, where we have come from, and where we are going. He has argued for modernist design as a way of making ourselves at home in the ever-changing world of modernity. Betsky is particularly concerned that we understand the global phenomenon of urban sprawl. He argues that we cannot stop it, but must figure out how to do it better in a social, aesthetic, and environmental sense. In At Home in Sprawl, using such disparate examples as California and the Netherlands, he offers possible building blocks for better sprawl.
