“Urban design means taking the geography of a given city, with its demands and suggestions, as a starting point, and introducing elements of language with the architecture to give form to the site. Urban design means bearing in mind the complexity of the work to be carried out rather than a rational simplification in the urban structure. Moreover it means working in an inductive manner, generalizing what is particular, strategic, local, and generative.” (Manuel de Sola Morales, 1989)
