A key outcome is the concept of spatial configuration meaning relations which take account of other relations in a complex. New techniques have been developed and applied to a wide range of architectural and urban problems. The aim of this book is to assemble some of this work and show how it leads the way to a new type of theory of architecture: an analytic theory in which understanding and design advance together. The success of configurational ideas in bringing to light the spatial logic of buildings and cities suggests that it might be possible to extend these ideas to other areas of the human sciences where problems of configuration and pattern are critical.».Termos de indexação: Teoria da Arquitectura / Arquitectura - Espaço / Arquitectura e Sociedade| Tipo de documento | Localização | Colecção | Cota | Estado | Data de devolução | Código de barras |
