Urban Transformations through Exceptional Architecture
เบเปเบฝเบงเบเบฑเบเบเบถเปเบก e-book เบเบตเป
By considering diverse aspects of architecturally exceptional projects, the chapters in this book utilise a variety of research methods. They bring into dialogue a range of themes regarding the architectural, urban design and political aspects of these projects. This volume illustrates that multidisciplinarity might well be the best strategy to balance the risks of over simplification and the challenges of complexity in analysing these exceptional projects and the city in its ever-transformative process.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Urban Design.
