Go BackReconstruction of an Urban Neighborhood: Photographs of drawings
01/01/1996Drawings presenting two versions of a simulation, performed in a Berkeley neighborhood, for testing the transformation rules for the Progresso project. The simulations show the potential transformation of the neighborhood into an area with an extensive pedestrian network, looped roads with parking lots, and extensive gardens.
