Finished Kevin Lynch’s The Image of the City
I just finished Kevin Lynch’s The Image of the City, an absolutely fantastic book which I warmly recommend. Here are the related posts:
- “Ildefons Cerdá, Urban Planner” of April 21th.
- “Quotes on Ildefonso Cerdá” of April 21th.
- “Plan Cerdá” of April 21th.
- “Kevin Lynch’s The Image of the City and Software Architecture” of April 25th.
- “The Semiotics of Imageability” of May 2nd.
- “Le Corbusier och Stockholm, forts.” of May 3rd (in Swedish, very loosely related about Le Corbusier’s crazy entry in a 1933 competition regarding the redevelopment of the central area of Stockholm).
- “City Grids and the Imageability of Software Architectures” of May 6th.
- “Kevin Lynch’s The Image of the City and Enterprise Architecture” of May 11th.
I will probably read Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities next, which is one of my most recent purchases, along with Le Corbusier’s The City of Tomorrow and its Planning, Rem Koolhaas’s Content, and Paul Shepheard’s Artificial Love: A Story of Machines and Architecture.
