EMPIRCISM
Idealistic assumptionsPresent and past for inspiration
“How the world should function and how people should behave rather than how it actually does and they do.”

LYNCH’S GOAL?
Combating Modernism’s unified, monolithic depersonalized city through reasserting the human role in the interpretation of the city.

Kevin Lynch
Interviewed urbanites in Boston Jersey City, and Los Angeles
Most established a “generalized mental picture of the external physical world”
The mental picture was very similar
Their images emerged in a two way process:
▪ They made distinctions among the various physical parts of the city
▪ They organized these parts in a personally meaningful way
![Page 10: Lynch and cullen final](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102509/546ae0cbb4af9f612c8b4924/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
IDEAS OF LYNCH
He was concerned by the look of the cities and whether this look is of any importance , or whether this look can be changed.
he introduced the theory of urban form. An urban environment is a complex system of
interactions between people (users) and various surrounding objects
Lynch described two things important for a subsequent explanation of the whole theory: first, physical elements of the city and second, the psychological, mental image of the city.

of an observer in movement as basic element for the perception of the
constructed space, and in the workmanship Urban Landscape
considers the notion of serial vision for the first time as a conceptual
instrument for an urban reading.
