During his life Léon Krier engaged architecture in profound ways, embracing the critical relation between Nature and the City, the knowledge needed for making of the Good City, for architecturally composing a coherent sense of place, and for an art of tectonics that ensures the long-term durability of buildings. In this issue, readers will observe his intellectual commitments, the evolution of his thought, his struggles with recalcitrant cultural phenomena, his collaboration with kindred spirits, side by side with his extensive professional work.
