Description
No matter how distinctive the style or ethos, underpinning architecture’s great variety lie a number of categorical typologies. In this meditation, Huat Lim presents his typological understanding in a series of interconnected essays that reflect on type as a fundamental tool to frame and articulate collective architectural knowledge.
The book draws on a large number of carefully selected examples of designs and buildings, ranging from antiquity to the present, and engages with some of the most important thinkers to focus on specific instances of typology in particular texts, cities and projects. In doing so, Huat Lim offers strategies, conceptual tools and critical knowledge to articulate ways of thinking and acting differently. A powerful example of the enormous potential for urban design, Typology offers a new perspective for the ongoing project of creating a transformative built environment and society.
