ArchitectureWeek Description
For Siegfried Kracauer, urban ornament was the medium through which city dwellers interpreted the metropolis. His essays deciphered the subjective experience of the city by viewing fragments of the city as dynamic ornaments. Reeh argues that Kracauer's writings suggest ways in which the subjective can reappropriate urban life. The book includes photographs of ornament in Paris, Frankfurt, and other cities.
