Features: Design is a struggle against the blank sheet of paper. In urban design, proposing solutions to functional and form-related issues is inevitably a process between intuition and thinking. Applying appropriate design methods can help better utilize one's knowledge in urban design, weigh different concepts, and form reasonable design ideas. This book explains these steps through text and images, summarizes the thinking foundation of design—this creative activity—and lists examples to illustrate the relationships. From this, readers can discover their own design patterns. Simply put: making urban design something that can be learned. As a knowledge reserve for content, the book briefly introduces the background and main tasks of urban construction, including elements of urban structure and urban space, as well as the social, political, and ideological significance of the city. The book aims to inspire readers to improve their perceptual and creative abilities, while also offering technical suggestions for drawing plans and sketches, all of which contribute to design training.
