内容简介

For over two centuries, public space has been gradually adjusted to meet the needs of a rapidly　growing traffic. Which role design plays is obvious: The first iron-made bridge was designed and built　in England in 1779 and has now been declared a world heritage by UNESCO. Full of visionary projects, the 20th century marked a heroic time for Traffic Design. Already in 1913 Sant'Elia, an Italian　architect, designed a combined "city station for planes, trains and cars". In 1925 Le Corbusier defined　a development plan for Paris, which was named "Plan Voisin" after a car maker. The growing French　metropolis was supposed to be remodeled to serve as an automobile-city. But also smaller　projects　attracted the attention of the old masters. A gas station designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1956 in　Cloquet, Minnesota remains a tourist attraction to this day.
