Contributor Bekkering, H.C. (promotor) Meyer, V.J. (promotor) Faculty Architecture Department Urbanism Date 2009-11-23 Abstract This dissertation discusses the importance to study the form of the contemporary urban landscape. It shows how mapping is the tool by which the formal logic of the contemporary city can be uncovered. Through mapping, the urban landscape can be understood as systems of overlapping layers. This observation in terms of overlapping layers allows covering different scales from the block until the region. Finally, it is shown how mapping is simultaneously a research tool and a design approximation to the studied urban reality.
