What distinguishes human habitat is not the size and complexity of our buildings but our ability to reflect on what we do and our ambivalence about our affinity to - and detachment from - the soil and terrain we occupy. Though the expressions topophilia and topophobia belong to our time, an ambivalence between the love of a place and aversion from it has been a recurrent paradox in human history which has never been as striking as in the twentieth century. This book offers a comprehensive and timely reflection on the human habitat of the century that has just past, ranging broadly from the highbrow modern architecture of Western and Asian cities to non-architect/planner designed vernacular settlements, which are thematically reviewed under the frame of topophilia and topophobia.
