Final Activity Report Summary - URBANSCAPE SYNTAX ("Measuring" Urban Landscape - From hermeneutic approach to sociological / spatial analysis)
Presently, we have redefined through the evolution of history the concept of milieu, the relations of a society to his environment who is a key concept of this research. We have also started a research to link the evolution of the milieu's understanding and the evolution of the urban and architecture theories. At the same time, we have organised a seminar at the end of September 2004 in Japan gathering some of the main specialists to discuss the establishment of methodological tools based on a dual, syntactical approach and on a hermeneutic system, taking in consideration the multiplicity of perceptions.
