World Architecture Day 2020
"Toward a better Urban Future"
Created by the International Union of Architects (UIA) in 1985, World Architecture Day is celebrated on the first Monday of October in parallel with UN World Habitat Day, for which the theme this year is Housing For All: A better Urban Future.
“Urban design and architecture are keys to a better quality of life for everyone.”
(entrerayas.com/2020/09/world-architecture-day-2020/)
Today, as we celebrate the World Architecture Day with a theme, Housing For All: A better Urban Future, let us show you the Kevin Lynch's 'Elements of a City', which became as a guide for building and rebuilding cities.
Kevin A. Lynch is an American Urban Planner and Author. He is known for his work on the perceptual form of urban environments and was an early proponent of mental mapping. (Wikipedia)
The City Image and its Elements
There seems to be a public image of any given city which is the overlap of many individual images. Or perhaps there is a series of public images, each held by some significant number of citizens. Each individual picture is unique, with some content that is rarely or never communicated yet it approximates the public image, which, in different environments, is more or less compelling, more or less embracing.
The contents of the city images so far studied, which are referable to physical forma, can conveniently be classified into five types of elements: paths, edges, districts, nodes, and landmarks.
1. Paths. Paths are the channels along which the observer customarily, occasionally, or potentially moves. They may be streets, walkways, transit lines, canals, railroads. For many people, those are the predominant elements in their image. People observe the city while moving through it, and along these paths the other environmental elements are arranged and related.
2. Edges. Edges are the linear elements not used or considered as paths by the observer. They are the boundaries between two places, linear breaks in continuity: shores, railroad cuts, edges of development, walls. These edges elements, although probably not as dominant as paths, are for many people important organizing features, particularly in the role of holding together generalized areas, as in the outline of a city by water or wall.
3. Districts. Districts are the medium-to-large sections of the city, conceived of as having two-dimensional extent, which the observer mentally enters "inside of," and which are recognizable as having some common, identifying character. Always identifiable from the inside, they are also used for exterior reference if visible from the outside. Most people structure their city to some extent in this way, with individual differences as to whether paths or districts are the dominant elements. It seems to depend not only upon the individual but also upon the given city.
4. Nodes. Nodes are points, the strategic spots in a city into which an observer can enter, and which are the intensive foci to and from which he is traveling. They may be primarily junctions, places of a break in transportation, a crossing or convergence of paths, moments of shift from one structure to another. Or the nodes may be simply condensation of some use or physical character, as a street-corner hangout or an enclosed square.
5. Landmarks. Landmarks are another type of point-reference, but in this case the observer does not enter with them, they are external. They are usually a rather simply defined physical object: building, sign, store, or mountain. They may be within the city or at such a distance that for all practical purposes they symbolize a constant direction. Other landmarks are primarily local, being visible only in restricted localities and from certain approaches. They are frequently used clues of identity and even structure, and seem to be increasingly relied upon as a journey becomes more and more familiar.

Our Story
“In Architecture, at every instant, there is more than the eye can see, more than the ear can hear.”
What does Architecture actually mean to the people?
What can the Architect do to make the city more vivid to the inhabitants?
To understand the role of Architecture in our lives, it is necessary for us to look at the bigger picture. Looking at some City Areas and talk about their inhabitants; narrow streets congested with people and cars; no open spaces, creates a vigorous impact on why should we hire right Professionals on developing our community.
