Título: Cities and Forms: On Sustainable Urbanism
Autor: Serge Salat
Sinopse: This book probes the crucial issue of the shape to give to sustainable cities in the future. It unfolds a rich mosaic of two thousand years of urban history in the East and in the West through 1,200 drawings, city plans, and photographs, all of which is correlated with thousands of results of original analyses for a wide range of urban textures, from Siena and Venice to New York, Brasilia, Tokyo, Beijing, and Shanghai. The book provides a measurable scientific dimension to such essential notions of sustainable urbanism as density, connectivity, functional mix, and accessibility, by exploring the qualities of historic urban fabrics. The book develops a method of urban composition founded on perceptive qualities, and the design of public spaces, squares, streets, and visual sequences. It forms the bases of a return to the city as a place of memory and history, and of a controlled relationship between the urban fabric and building typology.
