Description

The Social Logic of Space by Bill Hillier and Julienne Hanson presents a new theory of space as a vital component of how societies work. This study examines the spatial patterns produced by buildings and towns, revealing why different types of societies adopt distinct spatial forms.

From this general theory, the authors outline a "pathology of modern urbanism" in today's social context, shedding light on the underlying issues that shape our built environment.

This book offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between space and society, making it an essential read for anyone interested in architecture, criticism, or understanding the complexities of modern urban life.
