This manual documents the revival of the traditional architectural pattern book as a means of implementing urban design.
From the firm that produced The Urban Design Handbook comes a practical guide to developing and using pattern books — a tradition stretching back to Vitruvius and Palladio, and the source of many beautiful houses — to design neighbourhoods today. It describes techniques and working methods for contemporary development and construction processes.
The Architectural Pattern Book provides insights into the essential framework for creating evocative designs that resonate with tradition yet fit perfectly in a modern setting. By applying the methods outlined, architects and developers can enrich urban spaces with aesthetic coherence and functionality.

Ben Bolgar, RIBA Journal: "The beauty of the system is that it is based on existing excellence not style, and typological selection is helped by a broad consensus on what is proven to work."
