Urban Landscape |
The structure of housing estates in traditional towns and villages has
changed radically in recent decades, a process which is leaving deep traces
on the landscape and has been termed ‘overdevelopment’ or
‘chaos’.
There is also a thesis that such purely negative judgements of the circumstances
and processes which have moulded the appearance of our ‘thoroughly
urbanized landscape are not fair, and above all offer no usable approaches
to the problems confronting architectural and urban design. The old instruments
for analysis and interpretation of spatial phenomena are no longer appropriate
or adequate for the situation we face.
The work of the Center for Urban Landscape of the Institute of Architecture and Building Technology is devoted to this issue.
