《另眼相看》【内容简介】
城市里大部分建筑和景观设计因为不起眼而游离于日常的视线之外,却处处都有门道——这就是这部非典型城市漫游指南的主题。
本书将带你饱览城市建筑背后的秘密:为什么电线杆总是一撞就断?为什么有些垃圾箱带锁?想让超速的汽车主动减速有哪些方法?公园和机场的座椅为什么让人难受?这些看似平凡之物之中蕴藏着人类的智慧与创新、对美好生活的期许与想象,守护着城市的安全与活力。它们是留给城市漫步者的彩蛋,是让设计细节控会心一笑的暗号,也是写给人文爱好者的谜语。
让我们跟随“99%视线之外”播客的创始人罗曼·马尔斯,开启这场大开眼界的citywalk!

"Look at each Other" 【 Content Introduction 】
Most of the architecture and landscape design of the city is hidden from everyday sight because it is obscure, but there are doorways everywhere - this is the theme of this atypical urban Hitchhiker's guide.
This book will take you inside the secrets behind urban architecture: Why do electric poles always break when hit? Why do some bins have locks? What are some ways to slow down a speeding car? Why are park and airport seats so unpleasant? These seemingly ordinary things contain human wisdom and innovation, expectations and imagination for a better life, and guard the security and vitality of the city. They are Easter eggs for city walkers, code words to make design minutists smile, and riddles for lovers of the humanities.
Let's follow Roman Mars, founder of the 99 Percent Out of Sight podcast, for this eye-opening citywalk!
