Recombinant Urbanism; Conceptual Modeling in Architecture, Urban Design and City Theory
"Documents a major intellectual advance...eagerly awaited by academics and practitioners all around the world...should become a standard text for schools of architecture and urbanism."
-Leon Van Schaik, Innovation Professor of Architecture, RMIT, Australia

"...both unique and instrumentally positive. The book is the result of many years of research and writing, and is a small masterpiece in urban studies. It has already proved its worth in the teaching of urban studies, at Columbia, the AA, the Bartlett School, and Cooper Union, to mention only a few of the universities where Dr Shane has had a powerful influence...It is, indeed, one of the very best manuscripts I have read in the field in the last few years."
-Anthony Vidler, Professor and Dean, Irwin S Chanin School of Architecture, Cooper Union, New York, USA

"I can say without hesitation that I fully endorse Grahame’s work...the issues it covers are highly topical and such a book should indeed be widely read by architecture students, urban designers and planners."
-Colin Fournier, Professor of Architecture &Urbanism, Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, UK.

"Of great necessity for undergraduate and postgraduate students, scientists and professionals in urban planning and design. [This] publication will certainly inspire work with city models in a wide range of practice."
-Henrik W Jensen, Associate Professor in Town Planning, Aarhus School of Architecture, Denmark.
