Urbanism and its associated architecture not only takes place in designated city areas but also in the Realm of the Middle Landscape.

Although it is hardly possible to invent a new architecture, the necessity remains to think about questions of urbanism and its built structures in the context of history, technology and sociology.

One interpretation which challenges the current urban development, such as the issue of the sprawl of mid size towns, has the potential to direct planning tools and clarify intentions towards a more differentiated strategy of orientation.

This approach to design opens the possibility to develop a higher level of sophistication by articulating building elements within classical parameters such as proportion, geometry and composition. The filtering into a modern context which includes the knowledge of attributes of contemporary materials and technology will facilitate the process of transfer.
