Cities full of Space-Qualities of density

120 page의 책이지만 Delft 공과대학 교수인 Rudy Uytenhaak의 도시 밀집에 대한 깊은 연구를 이해하기 쉽도록 다이아 그램을 활용하여 집필한 주용한 도시 건축 서적입니다. 책 내용 소개(by 010 publisher) Cities throughout the world are becoming increasingly inefficient in their management of the space available to them. Personal land use is also increasing dramatically; in the Netherlands for instance, this is now twelve times what it was a century ago. And this development is expected to continue worldwide. We must build in higher densities in the cities if the landscape is not to be swallowed up by them. It will mean coaxing people into moving into these compact cities, which will only work if they have an aggregate of cultural and spatial qualities on offer. In his architectural practice and as a professor at Delft University of Technology, Rudy Uytenhaak conducted a study into the densities of the built environment and into ways of offering sufficient spatial compensation for the achieved density. His research led him to formulate a number of specific measures and proposals. Cities Full of Space describes the results of this study and features a great many projects illustrating the quest for ideal plans and sections in residential buildings. Uytenhaak draws on examples from his own work as well as from that of other architects. Optimism is refreshing in an age when most predictions for the future are bleak.
