Description: CENTER CITY PHILADELPHIA The Elements of Style by ERIC UHLFELDER Foreword by LEE COPELAND ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Large trade paperback; 103 pages; Size Approx. 8 1/2 X 10. Published by University of Pennsylvania Press; copyright 1984. Details: "'Unlike other books that commemorate a city's architectural landmarks, Center City Philadelphia looks instead at the product of three hundred years of Philadelphia's physical development; the streetscape. This photographic essay with text emphasizes the visual pleasures of a rich, mature city. The photographs capture the constant changes that the city undergoes. Growth, decay, stability, and rejuvenation occur in close proximity, revealing a place marked by dramatic contrasts. The photographs evoke a richness of form, a variety of image and scale, all from a pedestrian's view. Uhlfelder's eye is always attuned to the possibility of discovery: the rhythm of a block of buildings, the randomness, the fortuitous order of the environment are all captured here. From the author's viewpoint, buildings are only one part of the city's order, and how they enhance or detract from the surrounding environment is a key concern. The variety of design and texture form a backdrop to the city's life; the streetscape defines the physical and sensual character of the city. Eric Uhlfelder is a freelance writer and photographer."
