Gordon Cullen ist der Camillo Sitte der sechziger Jahre. Townscape lehrt die Kunst des Sehens, das Erlebnis von Stadt im Bildausschnitt, die Kostbarkeit der Dinge am Rand, aus der die neue Wertschätzung der vernacular architecture entstand. Anhand von mehr als 400 seriellen Bildern und eigenen Zeichnungen formuliert Cullen räumliche Erfahrungen wie Schwelle, Einfriedung, Brennpunkt u. a. m. als städtebauliche Kategorien. Architekten lernen von Bildern, deshalb ist das Buch, das in England sieben Auflagen erlebte, nie in die deutsche Sprache übersetzt worden. Heute, dreißig Jahre später,

This work is devoted to the motion of surfaces for which the normal velocity at every point is given by the mean curvature at that point; this geometric heat flow process is called mean curvature flow. Mean curvature flow and related geometric evolution equations are important tools in mathematics and mathematical physics. A major example is Hamilton’s Ricci flow program, which has the aim of settling Thurston’s geometrization conjecture, with recent major progress due to Perelman. Another important application of a curvature flow process is the resolution of the famous Penros

Once a stepchild of architecture, interior design has evolved into a mature discipline in recent years. As a prime example of three-dimensional artistic expression, interior architecture is often a decisive factor for success in an age of brand communication, stunning exhibitions and impressive design. This new series is produced in collaboration with Frame, the international magazine of interior architecture and design, a publication that has built a solid international reputation on the bold presentation of innovative and inspiring interiors. The series focuses on the work of a younger ge

This self-contained book provides a basic foundation for students, practitioners, and researchers interested in some of the diverse new areas of multiscale (geo)potential theory. New mathematical methods are developed enabling the gravitational potential of a planetary body to be modeled and analyzed using a continuous flow of observations from land or satellite devices. Harmonic wavelet methods are introduced, as well as fast computational schemes and various numerical test examples. The work is divided into two main parts: Part I treats well-posed boundary-value problems of potential theory

The subject of numerical methods in finance has recently emerged as a new discipline at the intersection of probability theory, finance, and numerical analysis. The methods employed bridge the gap between financial theory and computational practice, and provide solutions for complex problems that are difficult to solve by traditional analytical methods. Although numerical methods in finance have been studied intensively in recent years, many theoretical and practical financial aspects have yet to be explored. This volume presents current research and survey articles focusing on various numeric

This introduction to dynamical systems theory treats both discrete dynamical systems and continuous systems. Driven by numerous examples from a broad range of disciplines and requiring only knowledge of ordinary differential equations, the text emphasizes applications and simulation utilizing MATLAB(r), Simulink(r), and the Symbolic Math toolbox. Beginning with a tutorial guide to MATLAB(r), the text thereafter is divided into two main areas. In Part I, both real and complex discrete dynamical systems are considered, with examples presented from population dynamics, nonlinear optics, and m
