CONTENTS
Introduction One of the things,I enjoy the most in urban design is the relationship between surrounding ,built context and to think about the people. My experience so far include not only university course, but also tried to relate with the professional world and with some extra activities in all of these experiences ,I noticed how important was and in fact it is to be capable to go through many themes and issues dealing with urban designers,public bodies and citizens . I conclude that it is not only the purely urban design part which fascinates me, but also the other knowledge that an urban designer needs to acquire in order to perform as one.
URBAN D
Design of the city must relate to its own people Also how different layers enact with the context
DESIGN ?
It is relevant to notice how architecture works with respect to • many scales • territory to city • spatial issues to structural details
