101 Things I Learned® in Urban Design School

The book is a nice, clean, and minimalist approach to describing urban design school. As someone interested, I felt like I got a good glimpse of concepts. The book is not meant to teach, as it does not explain any concepts but rather notes different concepts. The little graphics were cute. I asked an urban design masters graduate if the book seemed accurate and they said yes, it generally covers 30-40% of general lessons. Great coffee table book!

It’s obviously not going to cover everything but it hits on some core principles that often by accident you may not remember in everyday work. Great reference and it includes images to illustrate the concept.

Excellent little book, with tons of basic concepts that any urban designer, planning and architecture student and professionals should bring close at heart (and brains). I will adopt it as required for my three-studios second-year sequence in the BCRP program.I only don't give it 5 stars because: a) most sketches are way too small (particularly considering the amount of blank space around them), and b) no bibliographical reference list (the authors use vintage concepts and established authors).

Clear writing, easily digestible layout, engaging illustrations - inspiring if you want to understand how surroundings shape your experience of the everyday! Also helpful for game designers, minecraft builders, and anyone who wants to give a sense of life to virtual space.

Good book
