In a text drafted in Berlin in 1964, Iannis Xenakis applied the paradigm of hyperbolic paraboloids to the urban scale, through his proposal for a Cosmic City for Five Million Inhabitants, conceived in the tradition of utopian urban planning associated with the idea of the Megastructure. The Ville Cosmique, set on towers 3,000 to 5,000 metres tall, is the manifesto of volumetric architecture, conceived as an alternative to the entire paradigm of the straight line adopted by the Modern Movement.

Abstract
In a text drafted in Berlin in 1964, Iannis Xenakis applied the paradigm of hyperbolic paraboloids to the urban scale, through his proposal for a Cosmic City for Five Million Inhabitants, conceived in the tradition of utopian urban planning associated with the idea of the Megastructure. The Ville Cosmique, set on towers 3,000 to 5,000 metres tall, is the manifesto of volumetric architecture, conceived as an alternative to the entire paradigm of the straight line adopted by the Modern Movement.File in questo prodotto:
