Welcome to urban design, Spyro.

Seriously, use the search function. I myself have written some heart-breakingly beautiful comments on this subject over the years, as have other stalwarts here.

Forgive me if I don't want to rewrite them. But they're all present and accounted for in the archives. Search!

the original post is nearly 3 years old .. did Spyro finish his/hers/its master's degree ?!?

Spyro come back !!

Whoa! and Salutations!

I waited another year- worked in a firm... I used the search engine, got some very insightful comments, applied to TU Delft, Berlage and IaaC (got in all three). Europe over USA because the schools were cheaper and comparatively less affected by recession. Since 2009, I have been studing in TU- Delft.

I have been reasonably active on Archinect, commenting and helping others as well, so in other words- LET THIS POST DIE ALREADY.
