Design review

challenging urban aesthetic control

Edición de la obra Design review

Though aesthetic legislation is now common practice in most cities and jurisdictions, the architecture literature has failed to address the issues and problems in this area. This volume corrects this omission by offering guidelines on creating and administering a design review program. Internationally recognized authorities on design review in architecture, urban planning, historic preservation, land use law, and urban policy discuss legal, procedural, and philosophical aspects of the subject, giving the reader a broad, multidisciplinary perspective. The book provides new ideas and practical advice on design review, with case studies from diverse historic, suburban, and urban communities. Inherent conflicts and inconsistencies in the concept of design control are also explored, enabling the reader to make design review decisions with confidence. Covering the latest developments in the widespread practice of design review, this pioneering volume will benefit architects, urban planners and policymakers, land use attorneys, and historic preservation professionals who must create, apply, or participate in design regulation.
