Product Description

Product Description
In a world of increasing globalisation, where one high street becomes interchangeable with the next, Identity by Design addresses the idea of place-making and the concept of identity, looking at how these things can be considered as an integral part of the design process.

Structured around a series of case studies including Prague, Mexico, Malaysia and Boston, the authors discuss an array of design approaches to explain and define the complex interrelated concepts. The concluding sections of the book suggest ideas for practical application in future design processes.

With full colour images throughout, this book takes the discussion of place-identity to the next level, and will be valuable reading for all architects, urban designers, planners and landscape architects.

* Learn about the current debates regarding how design affects place-identity
* Understand the processes through which place identity is formed and the role which designers play in these processes
* Gain a practical insight, through international case studies, into the kinds of creative design approaches which can be applied to the development of place

4.0 out of 5 stars OK but not up to Expectation, 21 Sep 2007
By M. Chang - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is principally based on a series of case studies with illustrated photographs to address the issue of identity and place through design. At first, I thought it may contain useful urban design graphics which would aid my own understanding and perhaps for practical application purposes.

However, although this book should be supplemented by a knowledge of Bentley's "Responsive Environment" publication, it is essentially a text-ful description of a subject which would normally require more graphic visuals than text, given th design focus. A couple of end chapters on the synthesis of identity by design through case studies provided a glimpse of hope in terms of providing further guidance on the methodology which should be adopted to promote identity through design, but quickly again reverted back to text description.

Recommended for a good reading and supplementary though not much practical or academic help.
