{"product_id":"grammar-of-space-9783035631364","title":"Grammar of Space","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcross times and continents, there are architectural and urban patterns with a striking similarity - ranging from the Ganjali Khan Complex in Kerman, Iran (1596-1631), the underground structures of Bulla Regia, Tunisia (2nd-4th century CE) dating back to Roman times, the urban plan of Fez in Morrocco, Lübeck's mediaeval city in Germany and Pueblo Bonito, Chaco Canyon, New Mexico (850-1150 CE). This publication attempts a comparison and a definition of these universal principles and what shapes them.\u003cbr\u003ePerhaps surprising, different environmental and climatic conditions can achieve similar organizational outcomes, evidence for fundamental ordering criteria in architecture and city planning. Moreover, these convergences can occur despite large geographical distances and without any cultural transmission. The book explores these patterns, thus establishing a spatial grammar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA journey around the globe full of discoveries \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e·      Richly illustrated survey of spatial urban organization, based on the author’s numerous field trips\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eOriginal and compelling comparison of various vernacular structures across locations and times\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Khosrow Bozorgi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49348124770555,"sku":"9783035631364","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/grammar-of-space-9783035631364","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
