This is a comprehensive new work drawing together the historical, theoretical and empirical influences which have determined the form of the built environment in today's cities. A comparison of "rationalist" and "picturesque" tendencies in modern urban design, using a wealth of international examples, allows the author to derive a series of premises for successful design amd to indicate future directions.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This important work, now available in paperback, from Professor Geoffrey Broadbent, provides a clear analysis of the nature of many of today's design problems, identifying their causes in history and suggesting a basis for co-ordinated solutions. The author discusses `picturesque' and `formal' tendencies in modern architecture, relating them to parallels between philosophic thought and design theory through the ages. Using a wealth of international examples from around the world including America, UK, Italy, Germany and France and with over 250 photographs and illustrations, Emerging Concepts in Space Design offers a fascinating insight into the history and likely future directions of urban design.
