In contrast to tabula rasa urbanism, this book considers strategies for
tabula plena?urban sites that are full of existing buildings of multiple
time periods. Such dense sites prompt designers to work between the
fields of architecture, historic preservation, and urban planning,
developing methods for collaborative authorship and interlocking
architectural forms. The book grew from a collaboration between the Oslo
School of Architecture and Design and Columbia University’s Graduate
School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation on the planning of the
government quarter in Oslo. Emerging from this process, the book asks
larger questions about how we practice, teach, and theorize engagement
with existing architecture on an urban scale. It contains a compilation
of short essays addressing theoretical questions, a sampling of design
projects offering different formal strategies for architectural design,
and a series of discussions about pedagogical strategies.
