In 'De paradijsbouwers' verzet de auteur Simon Mari Pruys zich tegen de kunstenaarsmentaliteit van veel architecten, interieurarchitecten en industriële ontwerpers. Hij is van mening dat de kunstenaar als schepper van het schone of het originele van nature weinig geneigd is rekening te houden met de wensen, noden en behoeften van de doorsneemens, waarvoor hij werkt. Diezelfde kunstenaarsmentaliteit is bovendien mede oorzaak van de als een lawine voortrollende vernieuwingsdrift. In een tijd van dreigende schaarste is het van het grootste belang vorm te geven aan een leefmilieu van een duurzamer en derhalve minder verspillend gehalte. In 'De paradijsbouwers' geeft de auteur een vervolg op zijn eerdere boeken 'De nieuwe onzakelijkheid' (1971) en 'Dingen vormen mensen' (1972). Een groot aantal hoofdstukken uit 'De paradijsbouwers' verscheen eerder in NRC-Handelsblad.

Modernism in architecture and urban design has failed the American city. This is the decisive conclusion that renowned public intellectual Nathan Glazer has drawn from two decades of writing and thinking about what this architectural movement will bequeath to future generations. In From a Cause to a Style, he proclaims his disappointment with modernism and its impact on the American city. Writing in the tradition of legendary American architectural critics Lewis Mumford and Jane Jacobs, Glazer contends that modernism, this new urban form that signaled not just a radical revolution in style but a social ambition to enhance the conditions under which ordinary people lived, has fallen short on all counts. The articles and essays collected here--some never published before, all updated--reflect his ideas on subjects ranging from the livable city and public housing to building design, public memorials, and the uses of public space. Glazer, an undisputed giant among public intellectuals, is perhaps best known for his writings on ethnicity and social policy, where the unflinching honesty and independence of thought that he brought to bear on tough social questions has earned him respect from both the Left and the Right. Here, he challenges us to face some difficult truths about the public places that, for better or worse, define who we are as a society. From a Cause to a Style is an exhilarating and thought-provoking book that raises important questions about modernist architecture and the larger social aims it was supposed to have addressed-and those it has abandoned.

This book tackles a number of challenging questions: How can we conceptualize architectural objects and practices without falling into the divides architecture/society, nature/culture, materiality/meaning? How can we prevent these abstractions from continuing to blind architectural theory? What is the alternative to critical architecture? It places architecture at the intersection of the human and the nonhuman, the particular and the general. It allows its networks to be re-established and to run between local and global, social and technical. Mapping controversies can be extrapolated to a wid
