Leon Krier: Houses, Palaces, Cities is a richly illustrated monograph showcasing the architectural philosophy and designs of Léon Krier, a prominent figure in New Urbanism and traditional architecture. The book presents Krier’s vision for sustainable urban planning and human-scaled architecture through a selection of his drawings, essays, and projects. Krier critiques modernist urbanism and advocates for a return to classical forms, compact cities, and mixed-use neighborhoods. With both theoretical reflections and practical designs—including private homes, civic buildings, and master plans—the book serves as a manifesto for architecture rooted in history, proportion, and community.
