[edit] QUANTUM CITY
Explores the metaphorical relationships between quantum theory, urban design and the concept of the city. This work uses the themes of quantum theory and the 'new physics', to draw the reader into a discussion of the principles, practices and operations of urbanism. It also allows you to develop your ideas about urban design.
Urban Design is currently a hot topic throughout the world. This makes Ayssar Arida's provocative and original exploration of the discipline extremely timely. He asks: Can a world view based on quantum theory produce a better approach to the problems of the city? The reader is invited to explore the 'Quantum City' and the ways in which it is set to make a significant contribution to the development of architectural theory. This is the first attempt at linking the concepts of quantum theory to the field of urban design, encouraging the urban designer and architect to look at the design of cities from a new perspective. It is an easy, enjoyable, non-technical read with a very serious aim: to change the way designers (and the public in general) look at the urban realm.
