Summary:

Visualizing the Invisible takes up the challenge of producing original insights into the nature of the contemporary urban environment, and of using these insights as a basis for the design of the contemporary city. The book presents projects in full color, showing how some of these ideas and concerns about space, time, hybridity, and form translate into real work in the Spacelab design studio. This is a Techne title.
