MUPD 652: Concept on Urban Form and Style, by Dr.

Essm Hallak. ln course conversation of the adhering to content articles from Chapter 5 of The Urban Style Readers: - THE 3 rd TYPOLOGY From Oppositions 7 (1976), Anthony Vidler - GETTING TO KNOW THE BUILT LANDSCAPE: TYPOMORPHOLOGY, From Purchasing Room: Types in Architecture and Design (1994), Anne Vernez Moudon In the 2nd reading review three Western colleges of idea on typo-morphology, they are namely: Muratori and caniggia in Italia, Conzen and the urban morphology analysis group in England, and The Versailles College in France.

The following tables summarize the various schools ideas and problems about Typo-morphoIogy: Ads.

A good example in this context is the book The Self-Made Tapestry by Philip Ball where he talks about the bio-mimicry and how designers can benefit from it.

Laugiers idea of primitive hut where form is returning to its original condition to natural form.

The Third Typology Anthony Vidler Trial Revolution Where

The second typology belongs to the industrial revolution where the idea of architecture is coming from individuals and should be founded in the process.

This resulted in revolution technology and design for future.

The third typology however, raises the question of the relationship of building to its environment.

The third typology is the traditional city as the locus of its concern.

The notable primitive hut is based on the rational order of nature where the origin of each architectural element was natural; the chain that linked the column to the hut to the city was parallel to the chain that linked the natural world.

The second typology is also related to nature, but sees the emergence of ideal types at the end of an evolutionary chain, that can be speeded up by the machine and by industrial production.

In here the mass production objects is now related to the nature of machine.

The city is seen as a whole that embodies both its history and its presence in its physical structure.

This whole can be taken apart in fragments urban facts, as Aldo Rossi calls them that can be types.

These fragments can be reassembling, as a conscient act of design, to produce meanings.

First derived from originally ascribed meaning of the form, second derived from the specific fragment and it boundaries; and third, proposed by a re-composition of the fragments in a new context.

Vidlers concept was motivated by a desire to stress the continuity of form and history against the fragmentation produced by the elemental, institutional, and mechanistic typologies of the recent past It is explicitly critical of the modern movement.

In such a process of formation, the city becomes a whole with its past and present as manifested in its physical structure.

While such a view takes a formal coherence of the city as its objective, it fails to address the human aspect without which the city does not exist in the first place.

We might characterize the fundamental attribute of this third typology as an espousal, not of an abstract nature, nor of a technological utopia, but rather of the traditional city as the locus of its concern.

The city, that is, provides the material for classification, and the forms of its artifacts provide the basis for re-composition.

There has been a lot of negative impact s from global warming and the way we are using our sources of energies.

There is a need to change and to go back to the Mother Nature as a source of formal inspiration.

Michael Weinstock, in his article presents an account of the dynamics of natural metabolisms, and suggests an agenda for the development of metabolic morphologies of buildings and cities.

Nature has order and it already solved all the problems for itself.

Trees know when to grow leaves, spider all over the world design the web same way in order to catch food, geckos body allows him to walk on the roof and etc.
