<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In this book, Formation is ideal and utopian thinking, and Transformation is the adaptation of the ideal to the real or existing conditions. The book examines the dialectical relationship of these in the creation of the city. The subject is a contextual theory of urban design, utilizing Italian Renaissance and Baroque architecture and urban development of Rome, as a case study. It demonstrates the complexity of Roman urbanism and the inter-relationship and role of Roman architecture to its urban context.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Influenced by Rowe's vision, the author collects historical, analytical and graphical data derived from these elaborate studies on the city of Rome, which is seen as a perfect case study to comprehend and demonstrate how urban formation, transformation and architecture in general are in a critical relationship with the concepts of the ideal, the utopian and the physical reality."<br><br>"The book is simple in structure, well illustrated with a number of black and white maps and line sketches."--Landscape+Urbanism<br>
