Since {nass transportationis one of the coming ingredientsof our future urban areas, it is advantageousto realize that this is an opportunityto incorporate a great deal ofcharm, scale, detail, and design into theurban fabric.36. A street car in a European city.ENTRANCESEntrances to wherever we go are indeedone of the most important architecturalphilosophical, anticipated, or unanticipatedhappenings that the human experiencesduring life. One always expects torecognize the fact that he has arrived whenentering a country, city, or building. Unfortunately,so many times it happens ashas been expressed by others before-<strong>ARCHITECTURE</strong>/I8"When you get there, there is no there."This ingre_dient, in its own appearance,can call one's attention to this importantpoint of tension needed in our environment.37. An entrance for a bridge crossing inLucerne, Switzerland.WALLS <strong>OF</strong> OUR CITIESThe rnan in the street is subjected towhat he sees as he walks down the streetsof our cities. Perhaps Park Avenue is agood example for discussing the elementsof street facades. Th is street originallystarted out to be brick buildings and stonebuildings lines straight down the street.Then along came the Lever House and theother buildings which were placed backfrom the property line and also took onglass surfaces. Then trees were introducedon these plazas of the new buildings givingthe facades of buildings a softeningeffect as the observer walked down thestreet. The handling of these plannedcourses of travel in our cities is the basisof creating desirable spaces to spend ourtime. The following pictures review someof the street facades that impressed me.38. This small village high in the Alps ofSwitzerland really offers a panoramatype facade due to the building placements.This freedom of placement isa good ingredient to incorporate intonew cities, not adhering to the gridsystem.39. A graceful descent of buildings onthis facade of a Swiss village.40. Note the little shops on the streetlevel how they have a sidewalkabove.41. This picture of the Piazza San Marcooffers one of the richest facades theworld knows.42. Florence, ltaly again as one crossesits famous Ponte Vechio Bridge.43. Notice the relief incorporated in thisstreet wall of Morat, Switzerland.
*; ,.1..:*Bi ':!i46,,dffij47GRAPHICSGraphics are one of the most importantand necessary ingredients that we havein our cities. lt cannot be ignored as ithas been for so long, but must be recognizedand developed into a state whichwill allow it to be a complimentary elementof our cities. lf done correctly, itcan give a city the exciting, lively atmospherein a design conscious manner thata city should possess.44. Tuborg Breweries in Copenhagen usedtheir own beer cases with daffodils inthem for advertisement in the lobbyof their new office building-quite effectiveand desirable.45. A free, bold, and colorful example ofgraphics in Zurich, Switzerland is obviouslybeing enjoyed by many pedestrians.WATERFRONT TOWNSAlthough Waterfront Towns is parallelwith the subject of Waterfront Activity, itis interesting to note how some cities approachand join the waterfront.46. "Double Your Pleasure" by lettingbuildings reflect in the water as seenhere in Bayonne, France.47. This handling of the waterfront inPisa, ltaly is quite a strong statement,but probably necessary becauseof the river flooding at times.48. One winds up the main street of Dublin,lreland. The little buildings allpossess an individual expression ina small modest manner. The brishtcolors add a great deal.49. Abbeville, France has a strong waterfrontline with all buildings facingthe water being of similar height andmaterial.50. Zurich's everchanging waterfront.51. A waterfront town on the Rivierasteeping with intrigue and interest.ARCH ITECTU RE/19
