Go BackReconstruction of an Urban Neighborhood: Photographs of drawings
01/01/1996Two simulation drawings showing the pedestrian network in a small part of the neighborhood. In the first drawing pedestrian paths, parks and squares are shown in yellow. The second drawing the same pedestrian structure is shown, with buildings in gray, forming the shape of the pedestrian space, with roads and parking for the cars added in red, sugesting how these follow and adapt themselves to the pre-exisitng pedestrian network.
