Handbook of Methods for Architecture and Urban Design

A follow-up to the original German edition published in 2013, this first English edition offers a new foreword by Oya Atalay Franck, who writes, Perhaps it is precisely the deceitful nature of architectural problems that make the profession so interesting, that lets architects find new answers to the seemingly same questions time and again. Compiled by the Institute Urban Landscape of the School of Architecture, Design, and Civil Engineering at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences, this guide permits two levels of reading. Firstly, it offers a selective interrogation of specific methods in real-world applications. Secondly, it is an examination of the methods themselves.
