Complex City London's Changing Character | Architecture

Part story part atlas - this is a study of a city’s complexity. The most successful cities the most interesting and sought-after ones are those with an intrinsic and distinctive character that remain dynamic and relevant. They are complex and contradictory. And that is worth embracing. This is a visual geographic and narrative journey that explains why London is the way it is today. Using stunning maps and artful imagery it makes a compelling case for a finer grain understanding of density through a character-based approach to planning. Each character area is broken down exploring the characteristics and character-based development potential. For those planning and designing projects this is a reference book for the early stages of a design project and can help to inform site analyses which form the part of most architectural commissions and urban design studies. For lovers of maps and London it is a must-read. |Complex City London's Changing Character | Architecture
