CITY AS A TANGLED BANK e

Sir Terry Farrell

9781118487341 Nov 2013 • PB £27.99/ $45.00

Written by international architect-planner Sir Terry Farrell, this book encourages planners and architects to look, learn and admire the nature of the forces that drive the change. Searching for patterns within the apparent turbulence and complexity, Farrell analyses the notions of urban design and urban evolution and examines whether or not they oppose one another. This book covers a range of themes, from discussing emergence as an idea in a biological and architectural context, to embracing the importance of chain reactions in the progress of urban engineering; the character of habitation; and the effects of digital technology on city evolution. Farrell brings his considerable experience in practice to bear, elucidating his thoughts with examples from cities across the world, including Beijing, Hong Kong, London, New York and Paris.

In this title, ‘System City: Infrastructure and the spaces of flows’, Guest Editor Michael Weinstock highlights the radical change of design in our ever growing cities. With new designs based on intelligent and inhabited infrastructural systems, this book demonstrates the complex array of connections within city design and shows how cities should unite, rather than divide, urban morphological and ecological systems.
