Gordon Cullen: Visions of Urban Design

Rating:
Summary: Excellent account on Gordon Cullen's works and theories.
Review: Whether or not you admire the work of Gordon Cullen(1914-1994)- English architect and founder of the Townscape movement-it is impossible not to be moved by this new book by his disciple David Gosling, Eminent Professor of Urban Design at the University of Cincinnati. It is with dedication that Gosling presents a wide and complete account on Cullen's artistry, humanism, theories, projects and teachings. With the help of hundreds of Cullen's magnificent drawings and paintings the reader will dive deep into townscape analysis, serial vision, visual sensations and stimulation, and will know how an admirable human being he was. This magnificent book do justice to Cullen's memory and will help to keep his influence well alive amongst the younger generations; it is a touching and exciting book with an excellent printing quality.
