Skyline by Hubert Damisch

In this volume, one of today's foremost art historians and critics presents a view of architecture and the city through the twin lenses of cultural theory and psychoanalysis.
“The reader is invited to pass from philosophy to architecture, from antiquity to the modern era, from Europe to America, from Herodotus to Tocqueville, from Descartes to Freud, to say nothing of references, explicit in these instances, to times when I frequented dark theaters, encounteredAmerica, its incomparable cities and spaces, and traveled to Berlin”—from the Author’s Preface
Hubert Damisch teaches at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris. Among his books published in English are The Judgment of Paris and The Origin of Perspective.
