Recombinant Urbanism by David Grahame Shane
Internationally, urban design is more and more becoming a core subject taught in architecture schools. Yet, there is currently no contemporary textbook for urban design that includes a general history and theory of the subject.
"..will become the first 'cult' book in the field...a dazzling and positive interpretation..." (RUDI.net, Jan 06)
"...an excellent book..." (Architects Journal, April 2006)
"This book offers a very useful history of ideas of urban design" (Urban Design, May 2006)
“…the first serious attempt to understand contemporary cities…” (Architectural Review, August 2006)
David Grahame Shane trained at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London in the 1960s during the Archigram years. He completed an M.Arch in Urban Design and a Ph.D in Architectural and Urban History at Cornell University with Colin Rowe. He taught at the A.A. School under Alvin Boyarsky, before joining Columbia University in 1985 (and the urban Design Program in 1991). Shane now also lectures at Cooper Union and City College in New York. Over the last 20 years, he has taught urban-design master classes and lectured internationally, as well as being published widely.
