Transcending some usual spatial ontologies and operating across interdisciplinary fields, it promotes a renewed notion of built heritage as historicised architecture, and landscape as a structure of structures, where any act of modification should start from recognising pre-existing signs, typo-morphological structures, and writing of the ground and formal orders.  Advancing critical-theoretical propositions while verifying their operational value in the case study of Fenghuang (Shaanxi) &#8211; a famous historic and cultural town in China &#8211; the methodology reveals a new reading and the potential underlying of Chinese settlements forms. Architectural and urban-rural design projects are not the colonisation of a void (a <i>tabula rasa<\/i>) but rather an understanding and interpretation of an existing text with its erasures and absences (<i>tabula plena<\/i>), which also presents the principles for future writings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fully illustrated critical study of layered morphologies that examines the coevolutionary nature of architecture and settlements in Fenghuang (Shaanxi), China<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14940,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5559],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-14939","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-architecture-landscape-design","7":"author-by-author-laura-anna-pezzetti","8":"publisher-tongji-university-press","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Layered Morphologies and Latent Structures - ACC Art Books UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Title: Layered Morphologies and Latent Structures, Pages: 300 Pages, Publish Date: 30th Apr 2020, Author: Laura Anna Pezzetti, ISBN: 9787560888002.
