[What does Camillo Sitte's aesthetic urban design mean to our city in 2023?]
The theory of urban design by Camillo Sitte, an Austrian architect and urban planner, has been translated again and brought closer to us.
In the late 19th century, Europe's rapid industrialization highlighted the practical aspect of urban space. Sitte insisted on contemplating urban design theory and methodology as a comprehensive art that encompassed not only practicality but also aesthetics.
His views on urban design still resonate with today's society and urban planning, where the interest in transforming cities into spaces where nature, art and architecture can harmonize with civilization keeps rising.
Sitte's writing introduces the fundamental concept of "timeless" into urban design theory. Architect Kim Ki-Joon, among several scholars who are working between Germany and Korea, take this book as a reference to look into our own urban experience.
