Rowe argues that in Villa Savoye there is an enormous effort applied to separate the building from its immediate context distinctly. That is, the Villa Savoye is a primary solid standing in an undifferentiated void. However, in Le Pautre’s Hotel de Beauvais the building is not even attempting to occupy a predominant role within its surroundings. Hotel de Beauvais, ensuring the continuity of the urban fabric, complies with the conditions implied on from by its immediate context yet at the same time shapes the void contained within it. Thus, in the city scale, the building acts as a figure, but from the inner courtyard, its form becomes a ground from which the figure of the courtyard emerges.⁶ Following the introduction, the book is split into 5 chapters – Utopia: Decline and Fall?; After the Millennium; Crisis of the Object: Predicament of Texture; Collision City and the Politics of ‘Bricolage’; and Collage city and the Reconquest of Time. They conclude with an Excursus of “possible objet trouvés [to be used] in the urbanistic collage.”2

[8] Thus, the idea of gluing wood to a picture was implicit from the start, since the paper used was a commercial product manufactured to look like wood.Marzo, Mauro; with "Introduction" of Luciano Semerani and "Afterword" of Mauro Marzo; essays by Francesco Benelli, Marco Biraghi, Monica Centanni, Peter Eisenman, Alberto Ferlenga, Sébastien Marot, Robert Maxwell, Katia Mazzucco, Luca Ortelli, Alessandra Ponte, Bernardo Secchi (2010).

It is also a critique for modern architecture. One of these projects is Illinois Pruitt- Igoe. Illinois Pruitt- Igoe was known as the death of the modern architecture. Pruitt- Igoe was a large urban housing project; it was constructed in 1954 in USA. It was made up of thirty three buildings. By the late 1950s and the beginning of 1960s, Pruitt- Igoe project was famous and it was taken a pride. However, by the late 1960s, the project had become internationally infamous for its poverty, crime and segregation. It was part of an evolving crisis of social segregation in 1970’s. Thirty three buildings were demolished with explosives in the mid-1970. Pruitt- Igoe was becoming an symbol of urban renewal and public-policy planning failure. The MIT Press has been a leader in open access book publishing for over two decades, beginning in 1995 with the publication of William Mitchell’s City of Bits, which appeared simultaneously in print and in a dynamic, open web edition.

The idea of bricoleur architecture makes a whole out of thrown away objects and it creates new uses. Also in engineer, instead of special tools, which are designed for a certain project, bricoleur type elements should be used which can work with everything. In the early 1970’s Colin Rowe and Fred Koetter developed their ideas of a Collage City as an essay, which was expanded and published as a book in 1978. The concept of Collage City is about the principles of modern architecture, their philosophical beginnings, their expressions, and the ways in which they are flawed. It is a book about architects who had, and have, conceptions about the ideal city, and it tries to reorient those conceptions from the utopia of a single vision to a more broader view of the design of city form.
