URBAN DESIGN the composite of complexity
For planning to be successful, design must mean mre than blindly following the dictates of legislation and regulation yet losing sight of the importance of the design process is all too often exactly what has happened.
Ron Kaspirin has written a book for students of plannig and urban design that reconnects the process of designning with outcomes on the ground, and puts thinking about design back at the heart of what plannet do.
The book identifies the elements and principles of composition and explores compotional order and structure as they relate to the meaning and functionally of cities. It discusses new directions and methods, and outlines the importance of booth buildings and the open spaces betwen them.
Mixing accessible theory, practical examples, and carefully designed exercis in composition from simple to complex settings, Urban Design is an essentioal textbook for classroms and design studios across the full spectrum of planning and urban studies fields. Not only filled with illustrations and graphics of excellent projects. it gives students tools to enable them to sketch, draw, design and, abpve all, to think.
