Architektur Urban Design Essays
"Big Plans: The Allure and Folly of Urban Design springs from the idea that human aspirations for the city - as expressed through visual images such as architectural drawings, three-dimensional models, maps, plats, and digitized computer images - tend to overstate the role of rationality in public life.
Kenneth Kolson takes a unique approach in his discussion of the part serendipity plays in the urban experience, even organizing his book in such a way as to help demonstrate the subrational dynamics of urban life."--BOOK JACKET.
