Reviews
This book helps link academic studies of building types with contemporary practice, by providing a clear introduction to the history, theory, and present-day attitudes toward building types. The language is clear, the illustrations well-chosen, and the relationship between history and contemporary ideas is strongly made. - Howard Davis, University of Oregon, One of the most thoughtful and penetrating critiques of form-based regulations and new urbanism. Scheer provides a fresh perspective on the relation between ideal forms and actual places. Essential reading for all thinking planners and architects. -Christopher J.

Duerksen, Scheer's investigation of building types in the context of urbanism offers a rigorous introduction for students as well as a strong review for academics and practitioners.

Synopsis
Why are so many of our urban environments so resistant to change? The author tackles this question in her comprehensive guide for planners, designers, and students concerned with how cities take shape. This book provides a fundamental understanding of how physical environments are created, changed, and transformed through ordinary processes over time. Most of the built environment adheres to a few physical patterns, or types, that occur over and over. Planners and architects, consciously and unconsciously, refer to building types as they work through urban design problems and regulations. Suitable for professional planners, architects, urban designers, and students, This book includes practical examples of how typology is critical to analytical, design, and regulatory situations., Why are so many of our urban environments so resistant to change?
