Cities Ten Lines - Cities X lines

"Cities: 10 Lines - A New Lens for the Urbanistic Projects documents three years of faculty research seminars at the Harvard Graduate School of Design that focused on the development of a pedagogic taxonomy to frame the methods and tools with which designers currently shape cities and open territories." "The work documented in the catalogue presents the shifts designers have made in their projection of the city. Over the past three decades, new techniques in working the built environment have been deployed in multiple settings, interacting with a wide array of cultures, scales and intensities. Furthermore, the notion that urban grounds can be successfully refurbished is gaining clout rapidly, while the innovative nature of these interventions is creating spaces of an unprecedented urban quality."--BOOK JACKET.
