About the Author:

 Nikos Salingaros is a polymath known for his work on urban theory, architectural theory, complexity theory, and design philosophy. He is critical of conventional modern architecture, and has proposed an alternative theoretical approach to architecture and urbanism that is more adaptive to human needs and aspirations. This new architecture combines rigorous scientific analysis with deep intuitive experience. In 1997 Salingaros received the first award ever by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation for research on architectural topics. In 2003, he was elected to the Committee of Honor, International Network for Traditional Building, Architecture & Urbanism (INTBAU), and to the INTBAU College of Traditional Practitioners.
