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.
