[audiobook] The History of Stage and Theatre Lighting by Edison Company at Arts-Photography

Description

This book takes a bold epistemological approach to address the fundamental questions that urban design has faced since its inception ndash; questions concerning its legitimacy; definition; nature; content; purpose; theory; methods; jurisdiction and above all its knowledge base. The appropriate level of urban design ndash; global or local ndash; is another critical and emerging question discussed. At the end; an integrative theory of urban design is introduced; on the basis of which a set of principles is developed for application by practicing urban designers. These principles are presented at three essential levels: general; global and local-Iranian. Toward an Integrative Theory of Urban Design is intended to dispel many of the ambiguities still troubling urban design as a discipline and profession.
