Includes bibliographical references.
It discusses the following methods:
• Overall urban design concept
• Scenario
• Test planning
• Photography
• Model
• Mapping
• Sectional view
• Diagram
• Morphology
With its handy format, understandably written text and careful selection of descriptive and comprehensibly adapted examples, our Handbook of Methods is a helpful manual for students, architects and urban planners in teaching and
practice.
Although the design process as such may initially seem less systematic and organised, methods are the all-important basis of design practice in architecture and urban design. Moreover, they can help to decipher the frame conditions of planning beyond the design process in order to derive strategies for successful implementation.
