THE LINEAR SYSTEM
- organized by
- Set if parallel,
relatively close,
dominant paths
- reinforced by
- presence of a
dominant edge.
- interplay between
path and edge is
- Important aspect of
the visual form
- The paths are organized into
rhythmically recurrent visual sequences
- characteristic
- Distinguishes one direction from
the other
- also
- chain of district focal points
perhaps changing perhaps with
some ranking of importance
- Between the centers on the
parallel lines run short
cross-paths
- fosi, cross-paths and sequential rhythms are
- Coordinated, progress along on main path can
mentally be correlated with that along th other
main paths.
- Open spaces are also linear, and probably part of ths edge
system.
- first linear plan city
- ARTURO SORIA in
MADRID
- This form can grow indefinitely in either longitudinal
direction without losing its integrity, but can grow
laterally very little.
- Not conducive to progressive
change by means of infilling.
- The city may also be changed more radically by
building new parallel paths along the old linear
open spaces, or be shifted bodily sidewise to
occupy new parallel ground.
- Vivid visual contrasts between open spaces and intense linear
development are built in to the from.
- It gives the observer the choice of several means of organizations
- Map shape
- Major correlated
sequences
- Succession of centers
- Relation to an edge
