| Abstract |
This study investigated housing as a key element of urbanism and a major fabric in the rethinking of spatiality, density and new living/working patterns. Ciriani has continued to find a framework that could restructure the city, and then theorized his findings with the idea of strong "urban fragments" capable of holding space, which is a means to his purpose of generating space and forms in urban housing.
By analyzing his linear housing works of linear type, we ascertained his「piece urbaine」to serve as a connecting tool between diverse building types and urban morphology, regulating whole building in his design process. Typological strategy is a means of granting urban spaciality through the automatic formative norm capable of setting diverse restrictions- urban context, site conditions, functional programme, space, etc.- in urban housing design. |
