ISUF 2021: Urban Form for Sustainable and Prosperous Cities, Glasgow, England, 28 June - 03 July 2021, pp.101-102
Representation of urban form via drawings, maps and photographs is an integral part of the typomorphology studies. In these studies, researchers aiming to reveal the physical and spatial structure of cities face the challenge of representation of 3D spaces in various scales from territories to buildings on a 2D printed/digital paper. This challenge brings in a question of abstraction on what information to include and what not to, and it is directly related to the method of typomorphology. Despite its indispensable role in typomorphological research, the character and the transformation of visual content are yet to be analysed in a systematical manner.
The Urban Morphology journal, published biannually since 1997, is one of the leading academic publications in the field. Currently, there are 173 articles published in the journal, the majority of which offer graphic content. This study aims to provide a critical reading of non-textual content in Urban Morphology Journal in order to answer following research questions:
