Reconstruction of an Urban Neighborhood: Photographs of drawings
01/01/1996A sequence of five simulation drawings showing four sequencial stages in the transformation of a small area within a neighborhood. It shows how buildings are replaced, lots are amalgamated and divided and how the four components –roads (red), pedestrian paths (yellow), buildings (grey) and gardens (green) are made to grow under the guidance of rules of transformation developed for the development process of the project.

The Process of Urban Design and the Formation of Larger Urban Wholes
Theoretical basis and key assumptions for the process of urban growth, tested initially in the San Francisco Waterfront experimental project in 1979, in which the formation of larger urban wholes was highlighted as an overriding rule. This process was further ...
