How were the world’s most beautiful cities planned? Let’s learn from them to address urban sprawl and tackle a primary root cause of climate change. Classic Planning is how we built cities before planning, zoning, and traffic started challenging them. eventbrite.com.au/cc/street-leve…

@seanw_m Great that you’re showing an initial interest in Islamic architecture, Sean! We would be happy to teach you more — please join one of our free intro classes. You might enjoy them. One of our tutors is an expert in this field.

there’s a ton to learn about every period of architecture. my personal fav (what? contemporary architects like renaissance architecture?) is the Jameh Mosque of Isfahan. the adherence to mathematical proportions both in the plan and elevation is beyond astounding

“glorious project” aka “still a pillbox, now with quoins and ionic capitals.”
Michael Diamant@michael_diamant
One of the most glorius projects in recent time is not a reconstruction, but old plans in the drawer realized. The plot next to the Hungarian parlament was to be built up, but the war came in the way. The new communist regime was hostile..

@seanw_m Of course. No-one knows better than a traditional architect ‘what lies beneath’. Indeed, we require all our third-year students to apprentice in all the major building arts. Viz:

@echo_chamberz If you find them send them our way!

Imagine if American oligarchs financed architects who built churches like this one.
Instead, trillions of dollars are wasted on trash that history will forget about.

@MatiasVolco That would be a very interesting exercise and a great initiative — to render with modern CGI what these places would look like at the street level. All is not lost and there is still the opportunity to return to better ideas.
English
@ClassicPlanInst Indeed! The fourth picture is Helsinki not Canberra, oops! We'll have to render some fresh images of Saarinen's Canberra. Here is a good take on Gimson's plan andrewcusack.com/2013/canberra-…

How do you solve urban sprawl? Some say transit, some say the proximity of services and jobs, some housing availability. While all are important, the foundational aspect of good urban design is actually town and country delineation. Without this, no other approach is complete. 🧵
English
@MatiasVolco Thank you for sharing — what a great example of the recognition of genius loci. We also love the great unrealised Ernest Gimson plan for Canberra. What could have been!
English
@ClassicPlanInst I adore Eliel Saarinen's entry for Canberra where it is monumental government buildings that provide the limit between the City center, reminiscent of Mitte, and a large park. In this case the natural boundary is the valley itself, but it is too large, so Saarinen solved it.

Build a city wall, or dig a moat, or plant a hedge, put up a palisade, plant a garden, build a canal, to save both the city and the countryside around it.

Unfortunately, garden cities did not live up to their promise and, ironically, partly led to the creation of the modern-day suburb — and (sub)urban mistakes like Canberra. To save our cities, we need classic planning — which is how the world's best cities were built.
English
The concept of town and country was identified by Ebenezer Howard, who devised Garden Cities. Garden Cities were supposed to be self-sufficient entities that provided a refuge from the noxious effects of industrialisation.
