Chapter 5- URBAN DIMENSIONS occur once the automotive has been position prompting attention on destinations instead of journeys. When the principal modes of transport were by foot, the realms of movement and social house had significant overlap. With the development of recent modes of travel, these realms have become more and more compartmentalized into vehicular movement house and pedestrian movement/social house. At identical time, public house has been colonized by the automotive and therefore the social aspects of the 'street' suppressed in favour of movement and circulation - the 'road'. The pattern of blocks and therefore the public house network, and basic infrastructure and the other relatively permanent parts of an geographic region, constitute the on top of ground, visible parts.

public area network was from buildings as constituent parts in urban blocks - i.e. terraced lots, process 'streets' and 'squares' towards buildings as separate pavilions in amorphous area. in step with Modernist 'functionalist' ideas, the convenience of a building's internal areas was the principal determinant of its external kind. Le Corbusier, for example, build a building to a soap bubble: 'This bubble is ideal and harmonious if the breath has been equally distributed and controlled from the inside. the outside is that the results of interior.' Designed from the within out, responding solely to their practical needs and to concerns of
light, air,
hygiene, aspect, prospect, 'movement', 'openness', etc., buildings became sculptures, 'objects in space', their exterior kind and therefore the link to public area just a by-product of their internal coming up with. The desire for separation was strengthened by public health and coming up with standards like density zoning, road widths, sight lines, the area needed for underground services, street by-laws and day lighting angles. The shift towards separate buildings was also fuelled by the need for them to be distinctive a consequence of the business interests of the development business and building
