Specifications
The career of the visionary urban planner K. A. Doxiadis resembles an epic narrative of conquests and triumphs across all corners of the globe. It is a classic story, a "novel," because around the central hero unfolds the mural of an era that lasts for four decades.
This book about Doxiadis's life and work is primarily based on his archive. With its help, his professional and social contacts, the reactions of those around him, and his social acceptance are illuminated.
It is his potential biography, a peculiar "autobiography" in the form of an expanded universe, which he composed and with which he closely identified.
The subtitle of the book Reference to Hippodamus comes from a letter to his daughter Euphrasia in 1965: "It is too early to tell myself what I did – my time has not yet come to write my own reference to Greco – or should I say to Hippodamus."
