Title: Urban Reflections
First published: 2004
Description: "Urban Reflections: Illustrated World Cities takes you on a walking tour through world cities - one that illuminates the diversity and distinctive urban places where local materials are used to express the unique qualities of dwelling places, shops, town squares, and the vernacular environment. It explores the symbiotic relationship between the art of architectural illustration and aesthetic achievements of urban architecture, supported by thought-provoking commentary of world-renowned urban spaces from leading international architects and design professionals. Included in this survey of the fabric and texture of urban life are the elements of urban architecture - lights, signs, benches, trees, buses, trains, monuments, neighborhoods, low- and high-rise office buildings and residences, and of course people captured with the activity of the street."--BOOK JACKET.
