Urban Morphology

Our first task given by teachers is "How the east of Canary Wharf is developing in 30yrs and 300yrs from Urban Morphplogical point of view."
Urban morphology is the study of the form of human settlements and the process of their formation and transformation. The study seeks to understand the spatial structure and character of a metropolitan area, citytown or village by examining the patterns of its component parts and the process of its development (Ref. Wikipedia).
Konrad found a map of East London in 1800 and produced quickly maps to show a difference of development between today and in 1800.



At the same time, we started to analyse an American Architect, Edmund Bacon.
