Opis

In some ways we are as knowledgeable of landmarks as we are of people. There are some landmarks that we know so well where we know them by their names and where they are located. Other landmarks that we often see we do not know much about them. There are others that we see so rarely that we know nothing about them. The underlying factor that affects and influences our evaluation of these urban edifices is the disparity in the way they are perceived among the various stakeholders such as designers and the laypublic. This book attempts to highlight the meaning of this disparity between the relevant groups with a view that with a better understanding of why some landmarks are perceived favourably by one group and not in kind by another will help in the creation of a better city.
