Aglae Degros. Basics Of Urbanism

Описание

An informative manual for a new territorial approach to urban design in the twenty-first century, based on twelve key concepts. Urban design today is facing a multitude of challenges. Using twelve key terms, this book connects these challenges to current urban design projects in Europe. It introduces concepts, presents possible solutions, and describes implementation processes. A special focus is put on the interaction of the built environment with living system an approach that is slowly gaining acceptance within the urban design community and that is setting aside a primarily building-oriented practice in favor of an increased appreciation of open space. Basics of Urbanism defines and illustrates parameters with a territorial approach to urban design. Space between buildings is treated as an essential structure for environmental and social change within small-scale neighborhoods and blocks, as well as at the level of districts and even entire cities. This approach includes forward-thinking temporal aspects as well as the implementation of existing resources in the creation of new spatial qualities. A concise survey and clear presentation of a range of planning tools make the book equally suitable for students and practitioners.
