Description

Kurt Rowland’s Looking and Seeing series is one of the most influential mid-20th century design education programs, widely used in schools to introduce visual literacy and architectural principles.

Volume 4 – The Shape of Towns explores the form and function of urban spaces, illustrated with photographs, diagrams, and historical examples of town planning and architecture. Its bold modernist cover design also makes it a desirable collectible in its own right.

A fascinating reference for students of architecture, design history, and mid-century educational publishing.
