In this volume, Michele Capobianco assembles a set of writings on the methodology of urban drawing that investigates the act of representation as an instrument of design, analysis and planning. Through essays and illustrative plates, the book explores how the urban fabric may be traced, interpreted and projected via the graphic medium—how streets, blocks, open spaces and circulation relate in drawing and thus in planning. As both a reflective and operative manual, it bridges the domains of urban morphology, graphic representation and planning theory, offering architects and urbanists a conceptual-visual toolkit for engaging with the form of the city. The provisional 1970 edition exhibits its historical value in the evolution of Italian urban-design pedagogy and underscores drawing as more than mere depiction—an instrument of structuring the urban realm.
