The architectural pattern book
de Karen Levine, Urban Design Associates., Rob Robinson, Donald K. Carter, Barry J., Jr. Long, Paul Ostergaard, David Lewis
"The Architectural Pattern Book traces the precedents of twenty-first-century manuals from the Renaissance to Georgian and Parisian urban assembly kits and colonial American pattern books. It documents the revival of the traditional architectural pattern book as a means of implementing urban design in large-scale developments by describing techniques and working methods of preparing guides for current design and construction processes, and it shows exemplars that will serve as models for contemporary designers."--BOOK JACKET.
