Here Sir Terry Farrell, who has built an international career as
an architect-planner, encourages other planners and architects to
follow the biologists--look at, learn from, and, indeed,
admire the nature of the forces that drive the change, and then
with humility and respect work with them to nudge, anticipate and
prepare for where it takes us. Searching for patterns within the
apparent turbulence and complexity, he analyses the notions of
urban design and urban evolution and examines whether or not they
need necessarily be seen as opposing one another. The first two
chapters discuss emergence as an idea in a biological and
architectural context, as well as the distinction between urban
design and planning in both education and practice, and the impact
of other fields such as landscape design. Seven further chapters
examine a range of themes embracing the importance of chain
reactions in the progress of urban engineering; the character of
habitation; layering; taste and context; adaptation and conversion;
the advocacy of the architect-planner; and the effects of digital
technology on city evolution. Farrell brings his considerable
experience in practice to bear, elucidating his thoughts with
examples from cities across the world, including Beijing, Hong
Kong, London, New York, and Paris.
