CONCEPT OF THE COLLAGE CITY OF COLIN ROWE AND FRED KETTER IN THE CONTEXT OF CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE THEORY

Abstract

The article examines the collage concept proposed by Colin Rowe and Fred Kett er as an architectural and urban design strategy and presented in the book “Collage City”. The prerequisites of the collage concept are described, the conditions under which Colin Rowe’s scientifi c and creative position was formed, which was developed by his students, are described. The article analyzes the arguments of the authors of the book in defense of the collage theory, which presupposes the search for balance and compromise between the historical and the contemporary city. The importance of the theory of collage in modern architectural and urban planning within the framework of the metamodern paradigm is determined.
