Personal Proof of the City

Personal Proof of the City AbstractHuman as a species is very similar to each other but it is also a separate, individual phenomenon. The city was created to resemble it. Treated as living tissue, it can harmoniously develop and follow its identity, constituting an autonomous phenomenon despite many similarities. The article deals with the problem of identifying cities on the basis of their similarities in the structure and quality of architectural and urban spaces. The article aims to distinguish the important, original compositional elements and to indicate universal factors determining the identity of the city. As a result, the characteristics of the city were discussed, while allowing for the creation of a matrix that would allow for proper recognition of the structure of a given city and proper development. The whole discussion was embedded in the framework of the applied observational, heuristic, and case study method, the aim of which is to find the right answer and confirm the main assumptions. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png ARCHITECTURAE ET ARTIBUS de Gruyter

Abstract

AbstractHuman as a species is very similar to each other but it is also a separate, individual phenomenon. The city was created to resemble it. Treated as living tissue, it can harmoniously develop and follow its identity, constituting an autonomous phenomenon despite many similarities. The article deals with the problem of identifying cities on the basis of their similarities in the structure and quality of architectural and urban spaces. The article aims to distinguish the important, original compositional elements and to indicate universal factors determining the identity of the city. As a result, the characteristics of the city were discussed, while allowing for the creation of a matrix that would allow for proper recognition of the structure of a given city and proper development. The whole discussion was embedded in the framework of the applied observational, heuristic, and case study method, the aim of which is to find the right answer and confirm the main assumptions.
