Urban Morphologyjohannes parlindunganBASIC CONCEPTSURBAN MORPHOLOGY :The study of the form and shape of settlement(Carmona et al. 2003)Refers to typeRefers to physical condition or surface of somethingIn means that:An urban environment is constituted from: Types of component/element and has certain effect on its physical setting.

(Whitehand. 2001)Morphogenetic priority : reflect persistence or lifespan of elements that comprise the form of complex. (Whitehand. 2007)Resistence to change.Historico-morphological characteristicsContribution to hierarchy of units

THREE MAIN APPROACHESITALIAN SCHOOLMURATORIAN Approach:Type has central role, the typo-morphological approach.Spatial structure has material form.There are existed rules governing the spatial transformation.The spatial system carries cultural meaning

Three main approachesITALIAN SCHOOLTYPO - MORPHOLOGICAL analysis:Dialectic between building typologies and urban morphologySystematic way to classify the environment in structuring findings of people-environment studies.Focus on vernacular tradition.Address interrelationship between all scales of environment.Recognize temporal continuities and discontinuities in the environment.

Use the archetype (basic type) to develop new buildings or environment that incorporated lessons from the past
