Urban morphology, elements of urban design, Chandigarh - planning and its transformation, Urban Design Scales and Spaces for Architecture. PubMedGoogle Scholar, Washburn, A. Reflects dominant and pervasive features of nature. Human scale: how each inhabitant would use space and how they would feel in it. I use influence to refer to the largest scale because influence is diffuse and difficult to measure. Theories that have motivated and still inform the construction of cities are both normative and functional.

", One side-effect of this is that whilst the discipline remains firmly embedded in the formative and Western contributions of its founding mothers and fathers the likes of Jane Jacobs, Kevin Lynch, Gordon Cullen, and Christopher Alexander their significance is also reducing in an ever more sophisticated and nuanced set of understandings and analyses from around the world derived from a combination of theoretical exploration, empirical evidence and knowledge derived from reflective practice.

Perceptual: Moving to the perceptual dimension encompassing the manner in which we perceive and relate to place here I will emphasise two themes: Morphological: Discussion of the morphological dimension relating to the physical structure of urban areas and spaces has been particularly strengthened in two areas: Visual: Turning to the visual dimension concerned with the visual / aesthetic experience of place again we can start with street design: Social: On the social dimension encompassing all our complex social relationships with places I would identify three new themes: Functional: Regarding the functional dimension or how places and their constituent parts function day to day again I would select three not new but strengthened themes born of recent trends: Design governance: Turning now to the first of the new process dimensions, Design governance, here I should highlight two critical themes: Building local place value (images Kevin Murray Associates). { Abstraction Lecture-4.

Functional Descriptive Theories (contd)Urban Communication: regards the city as a field of forces, a communications network of particles which attract and repel each other much as they do in physics. The common thread uniting my work has been the idea of urban design as a process, and that this process is at the heart of the discipline rather than necessarily an agreed set of normative design principles.
