Design for a democratic society was a matter of urgency in
bombed-out postwar Europe. Swiss sociologist, journalist, professor
and founding father of strollology Lucius Burckhardt (1925-2003)
pioneered the interdisciplinary analysis of man-made environments,
and thereby highlighted both the visible and invisible aspects of
our cities and social relations. Acutely aware of how our
interventions and decisions shape the world, and how the changing
world in turn, shapes us, his life-long focus was not only the
prerequisites of architecture, urban planning and design but also
their long-term impact. Teaching and practice still owe much to his
work. Thus, the first selection of Lucius Burckhardt's texts to
appear in English, introduces his groundbreaking theory of
environmental design, in retrospective tribute to a prescient
thinker.
