Abstract

In the United States, the public awareness and question of how to facilitate communication between urban environment and citizens was broadly raised during the 1960s. To the related professions, the aesthetic approach of modernist mode of representation was problematic. This study examines the idea of communication dealt with in the discourse of urban design, especially focusing on the urbanist ideas of Philadelphia school which include Lewis Mumford, Edmund Bacon, David Crane, Romaldo Giugola, Louis Kahn, and etc. Sharing the aim of controlling the continuity and order of the city of dynamic growth and differentiation, they suggested various understanding and solution on the urban communication: Some emphasized aesthetic aspects of urban environment, while others spiritual or symbolic expression. Searching for the city based on the culture and tradition, they were often in conflict with each other on the difference of their understanding of the urban order and communication.
