As graphic educators, looking at the city as a special case in the field of architectural configurations, we should not avoid considering the links between 'forma urbis' and 'forma mentis', and consequently the 'vision' behind the built settlements, either plan-based or sprawl-based - whose variety reminds the Babylonian archetype - together with the role of 'image' in supporting urban design, so evoking a sort of genetic-iconic materialism, and the role of Geometry and Graphics in creating and supporting our whole 'idea of city'.

Abstract

As graphic educators, looking at the city as a special case in the field of architectural configurations, we should not avoid considering the links between 'forma urbis' and 'forma mentis', and consequently the 'vision' behind the built settlements, either plan-based or sprawl-based - whose variety reminds the Babylonian archetype - together with the role of 'image' in supporting urban design, so evoking a sort of genetic-iconic materialism, and the role of Geometry and Graphics in creating and supporting our whole 'idea of city'.
