Proceedings of the international symposium sponsored by the Samuel H. Kress Foundation and the Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Held at MIT, Cambridge on November 1996. From the series Theory and Method in Islamic Architectural Design. The range of issues discussed includes the single architectural object as well as the urban fabric and the territory, due to the integration of the different scales of the built environment. Central themes of debate are the morphological study of the cities, either as reading or operative design, as well as the restoration and conservation of the architectural patrimony - from the front flap.
