Thesis (M.S.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1987.
MICROFICHE COPY AVAILABLE IN ARCHIVES AND ROTCH.
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 89-91).
The thesis seeks to formulate an approach to urban design intervention in the walled city of Ahmedabad, by first developing an understanding of the context. This is to be undertaken by applying the methodological tools suggested by two theories of city form, those of Kevin Lynch's "Theory of Good City Form" and N.J. Habraken's "Concept of Territory" which forms part of the book, "Transformations of the Site." In applying two different theories together to the city, the study endeavors to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the city. The exercise of applying theories to the city, also provides way of evaluating the theories, and their efficacy as methods for observing cities. The observations derived from the application of the theories, may be helpful as a basis for formulating strategies for urban design intervention in the walled city of Ahmedabad.
