Please feel free to ask for particulars and/or additional photographs. . Wiki notes: "Kostof's approach to architectural history emphasized urbanism as well as architecture and showed how architectural works are embedded in their physical and social contexts. Commonly accepted today, Kostof's approach was a break with previous directions in architectural history which tended to emphasize the sequence of styles and to study architectural works in relative isolation from their settings. Kostof's textbook, A History of Architecture: Settings and Rituals (1985) embodied these ideas and soon became one of the standard texts in the field. In 1987, Kostof hosted a five-part PBS series, America by Design. Kostof's publications were wide-ranging and included The Architect: Chapters in the History of the Profession; The City Shaped: Urban Patterns and Meanings Through History; America by Design; and The City Assembled: Elements of Urban Form through History. In 1993, following his death, the Society of Architectural Historians established the "Spiro Kostof Award", to recognize books "in the spirit of Kostof's writings," particularly those that are interdisciplinary and whose content focuses on urban development, the history of urban form, and/or the architecture of the built environment.

Kostof, Spiro, 1936-1991. The city assembled. The elements of urban form through history. Boston: Little, Brown / A Bulfinch Press book, 1992, stated First North American Edition, 320pp., very good dust-jacket with short 4cm tear at top of spine, cover price $50.00, very good large square blue hardcover, black remainder stripes on bottom foredge. With the collaboration of Greg Castillo. Original drawings by Richard Tobias. - "Spiro Kostof's previous book, The City Shaped, examined ways in which cities develop through history, treating them as complete entities and analyzing the various categories into which they fall. Now, in what is both a companion volume and an independent study, he traces the component elements that make up different types of cities: streets, public places, urban divisions (religious, political, and social), and the fringe area where city and countryside meet." "In every instance, Professor Kostof follows a story that ranges widely in time and place up to the present to indicate that the discussion remains fresh and engages our own time in unexpected ways. In the past, all the elements of a city evolved in response to a variety of pressures. Today they are usually the result of planning decisions. In a final chapter, Kostof considers "urban process" - the effect on cities of natural disasters, war, and comprehensive redevelopment, compared with incremental growth and change. His book is thus an exercise in architectural and social history, a case study for the present, and a pointer for the future. Urban form is never innocent of social content: it is merely the matrix within which we organize daily life, and we have strong opinions about it. Modernism was a harsh intrusion in the development of almost every theme. The current recovery from the less tolerant aspects of that doctrine has made us look again at what it is that we treasure in the traditional city, and how we can recharge the old urban forms with present-day common sense." "The story is also told in over three hundred drawings, prints, paintings, and photographs that trace not only patterns but uses, from the colonnaded street of ancient Palmyra to the recent demonstrations in Prague's Wenceslas Square."- CONTENTS: ONE: THE CITY EDGE -- Preliminaries -- The Walled Edge -- Meeting the Water -- On the Periphery -- The Open City -- The Soft Edge of Suburbia -- TWO: URBAN DIVISIONS -- The Sovereign District -- God in the City -- Pagus Mercatorum -- Keeping Apart -- THREE: PUBLIC PLACES -- The Nature of Public Places -- The Distribution of Public Places -- Matters of Size -- Typologies -- Public Parks -- The Public Places of Today -- FOUR: THE STREET -- The Street as a Public Place -- The Design of Streets -- Some Street Types -- The Advent of the Modernist Street -- FIVE: URBAN PROCESSES -- The Fall and Rise of Cities -- Disasters and Their Aftermaths -- The Destruction of War -- Haussmannization -- Incremental Changes -- Process Against Conservation: The Life of Urban Form. 9780821219300 ISBN 0821219308.

Remains particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and sharp-cornered. Edition; 1st pbk. ed. Physical description; 320 pages : illustrations (some color), facsimiles, maps, plans ; 26 cm. Notes; Includes bibliographical references (p311-313) and index. Contents; The city edge; urban divisions; public places; the street; urban process; process against conservation - the life of urban form. Summary; Spiro Kostof, the renowned architectural historian and chronicler of urban form, presents a universal history of the elements of cities: streets, public places, urban divisions, and the borders of city and countryside. This is both an independent study and a companion volume to Professor Kostof's book "The City Shaped" which dealt with cities as complete entities. Now he follows the evolution of their components, and traces the story right up to the present, showing how the issues remain fresh and engage with our own day, often in unexpected ways. He also discusses "urban process": the effect on cities of natural disasters (such as the Great Fire of London and the Lisbon earthquake), war and comprehensive redevelopment, compared with traditional patterns of incremental growth and change. This is at once an exercise in architectural and social history, a case-study for the present, and a pointer for the future. Subjects; Cities and towns - History. Architecture - History.
