Week 4.
Morphological Dimensions
박소현
• Morphological Dimensions of Urban Design:
layout and configuration of urban form and space
• 2 types of urban space system
– Traditional vs. Modernist
• Urban blocks & urban block structures:
– Lot pattern, street pattern, building, use
• Pre-industrial cities
• cf) Traditional cities …….. gradual, continuity
• Industrial cities
• Modernism ………
radical, secession
• cf) Modernist urbanism
• Post-Industrial cities
• New Modernism ……….’
big architecture’
• cf) Post modernism
• New Urbanism………….
’neo traditionalism’
• cf) Smart growth, sustainable development
• Traditional
• Modernist
• Neo-Traditional
• Traditional vs. Modernist
– Cf. organic vs. planned – Cf. Irregular vs. regular
– Cf. grid vs. curved (not so simple)
• Urban Morphology: Study of Urban Form and Shape of Settlements
• Why urban morphology?
– It helps urban designers to be aware of local patterns of development and
processes of change
• Conzen: 4 elements
• Caniggia: Urban Tissue
• Current trends: how to utilize it…
• Land Uses
• Building Structures
• Street Patterns
• Lot Patterns
• Traditional vs. Modernist
Small block patterns Super block patterns Building defining
and enclosing space
Buildings as objects in space

Carmona (2003), Rowe and Koetter (1978) 재인용
Carmona (2003), Permeability, “Finely meshed grid” vs. “Coarser grid”
Carmona (2003), Krier (1990) 재인용, 4 types of urban space: block is 1)result of street/square, 2)street/square is result of block,
3)street/square, 4)building
Transformation of traditional grid into super block:
Gridded ->
Grid erosion ->
Laddered
Pros and Cons:

“self contained pod”
unrelated to other “pods”

Comparison of the four types:
Establishment of block sizes
considering existing linkages and
connections and working within the grain of local
context

CBD block structures and sizes in 4 US cities
From small square/
rectangular to medium square
Optimum Grid meshes:
30-40 % of total area

Australian cities

• Sustainable Urban Design
• Key factors: Table 3.1, 3.2, 3.3
– Stewardship
– Resource efficiency – Diversity and choice – Human need
– Resilience
– Pollution reduction – Concentration
– Distinctiveness
– Biotic support
– Self sufficiency
• Car

Morphological Dimensions
• How to look at urban form
– 4 urban form elements:
– Factors (complex issues)
• Interpretation of urban form changes
• Application of urban form studies
• Sustainable Design ->
