Basics Urban Analysis is a new addition to the module on city planning. Building on the elements of cities as described in the volume Basics Urban Building Blocks, it provides techniques for analyzing cities. As a basis for city planning and architectural design work, a solid understanding of the existing and surrounding urban structures is indispensable. This volume not only explains the possible approaches; it also describes in practical terms how to implement those approaches in the areas analyzed and how to evaluate the data one has collected.

In Place, Race, and Story, author Ned Kaufman has collected his own essays dedicated to the proposition of giving the next generation of preservationists not only a foundational knowledge of the field of study, but more ideas on where they can take it.

Muster im Sinne von Vorlage und Modell bieten den Architekten seit dem Mittelalter Orientierung.

Nach der Abschaffung des Ornaments und somit auch des Musters durch die Avantgarde in der ersten Halfte des 20. Jh.s gewinnt der Musterbegriff seit den 1960er Jahren neue Bedeutung. Die Komplexitatsforschung konnte schlielich zeigen, dass auch hochkomplexe dynamische Muster auf einfachen Verhaltensregeln beruhen konnen...

First director of the Academie royale d'architecture, Francois Blondel established a lasting model for architectural education that helped transform a still largely medieval profession into the one we recognize today.

Most well known for his 1676 urban plan of Paris, Blondel is also celebrated as a mathematician, scientist, and scholar. Few figures are more representative of the close affinity between architecture and the "new science" of the seventeenth century.

The first full-length study in English to appear on this polymath, this book adds to the...
