Produktbeschreibung
The book presents a new theory of space: how and why it is a vital component of how societies work. The theory is developed on the basis of a new way of describing and analysing the kinds of spatial patterns produced by buildings and towns. The methods are explained so that anyone interested in how towns or buildings are structured and how they work can make use of them. The book also presents a new theory of societies and spatial systems, and what it is about different types of society that leads them to adopt fundamentally different spatial forms. From this general theory, the outline of a ´pathology of modern urbanism´ in today´s social context is developed. Table of contents: Preface; Introduction; 1. The problem of space; 2. The logic of space; 3. The analysis of settlement layouts; 4. Bindings and their genotypes; 5. The elementary building and its transformations; 6. the spatial logic of arrangements; 7. The spatial logic of encounters: a computer-aided thought experiment; 8. Societies as spatial systems; Postscript; Notes; Index.
