The idea of minimal intervention runs through his entire oeuvre, from his critique of urbanism to the science of walking. The “smallest possible intervention” denotes a planning theory that assumes two “views” within landscape design: that which is actually visible and that in our mind’s eye. The theory of the minimal intervention means not interfering excessively with the existing landscape, but instead working with the landscape in our minds to develop an aesthetic understanding of the environment. In this book, available for the first time in English, the Swiss sociologist applies this formula to many areas of design. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntellectual distillation of Lucius Burckhardt's theories available for the first time in English \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExploration of the relationships between planning and building \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRationalization and needs \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lucius Burckhardt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48280071897339,"sku":"9783035625301","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9783035625301.jpg?v=1772488389","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-minimal-intervention-9783035625301","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
