| Summary: | This text illustrates the possibilities that the widely-used architectural design tool of typology can offer for urban planning. The example employed for this purpose represents the paradoxical convergence of Julio Cano Lasso´s urban approaches in defense of the traditional city, and the principles of American disurbanism. This convergence is expressed in the Tres Cantos urban development project to the north of Madrid.In this urban plan, a fishbone-shaped typology is adopted as established by Hilberseimer in his "settlement units", which would serve both to restructure American cities and create new suburban regions along the interstate highway system.Using Hilberseimer's typology as a structural foundation, the Madrid-born architect Julio Cano Lasso produced a hybrid with other typologies of European urban heritage. He achieved the synthesis of two antagonistic traditions, thereby exemplifying the ability of typological hybridization to vary or even completely subvert the characteristics of an urban typology without losing its essential identity. |
