Book Reviews of The Image of the City (Harvard-MIT Joint Center for Urban Studies Series)
Book Review: A Great Help in Forming a Design Perspective
Summary: 5 Stars
The urban setting is a composition of nodes, landmarks, paths, edges and districts, accorsing to Lynch. This physical summary of urban landscape may not be satisfactory for some. However, for others, including me, this book is a great help in forming a design perspective at the city level. It does not matter at all if you have just started forming your perspective or working on the final details. The book should be in your library, and the design guidelines should be in your mind, not only when designing a peace of urban space, but also when you are just wondering around.
