| Kevin Lynch's The Image of the City (1960) argued that a strong, "visible, coherent, and clear" urban image is the foundation of a livable, attractive urban environment. Has the scale and speed of urbanization since 1960 made Lynch¿s idea of a clear, unified urban image obsolete? In Managing the Sense of a Region (1976) and A Theory of Good City Form (1981) Lynch anticipates the need for a more complex and multivalent idea of the urban image and proposes a line of research. How do qualities like ambiguity, instability, accident, intricacy, and ¿unfoldingness¿ help to create a strong urban image? Drawing upon our research and the work and writings of contemporary architects and theorists including Bernardo Secchi, John Hejduk, Manuel de Solà-Morales, Roberto Collovà, and Carsten Juel-Christiansen, we propose that a lack of morphological clarity does not prevent citizens of fast-growing metropolitan regions from establishing the identity of their city in more complex ways, from navigating by alternate mental maps. | |
