Abstract
The idea of city ‘fabric’ suggests a continuous whole produced from smaller, interlocking, interdependent fibres whose individual identity are lost or given up to the idea of the whole. The strength of the fabric is reliant on how well that fibre is embedded within the whole. The idea of ‘city fabric’ is then an idea of the beauty of efficacious subservience to the whole.
Design means to designate, to define, to assert control. The harder the edges the better,the more clearly defined the authors' handwriting the more the object is “lifted” from the whole.
