From playgrounds to theme parks, skittle alleys to swimming pools, to the countless uncontrolled spaces which the urban habitat affords ? play is by no means just a childhood affair. A myriad essentially unproductive playful pursuits have, through time, modelled the modern city and landscape. Architect and scholar Rodrigo Pérez de Arce?s erudite, original, and often surprising study explores a curiously neglected dimension of architectural design and practice: ludic space. It is an architectural history of the playground ? from the hippodrome to the Situationist city ? of space released from productive ends in the pursuit of leisure. But this is more than just a book about how architecture has incorporated play into its spaces and structures, it is a history of the modern city itself. The ludic imagination impregnated modernist ideals, and what begins with the playground ends with a re-consideration of the whole sweep of the modern movement through the filter of leisure and play. Because play is such a basic or fundamental human experience, the book re-grounds the architect?s concerns with those of non-architects ? and not only those of adults but also of children. It seeks to give everyone ? architects and other ordinary city-dwellers alike ? a better understanding about what is at stake in the making of the public spaces of our cities. 500 1$3VAN0195166$aCity of play : an architectural and urban history of recreation and leisure$91852952 606 $aEdifici per attivitŕ ricreative [e] Spazi esterni [per] Attivitŕ ricreative$xProgettazione$xCasi$xStoria$3VANC036408$2AR 620 $aGB$dLondon$3VANL000015 676 $a725.8$cEdifici per gli spettacoli.
