Go BackReconstruction of an Urban Neighborhood: Photographs of drawings
01/01/1996Two drawings of an existing neighborhood in Bekeley, used as a base map for testing the transformation rules for the Progresso project. The other two drawings are two versions of the simulation, showing the transformation of the neighborhood, into an area with an extensive pedestrian network, looped roads with parking lots, and extensive gardens.
