| | | English translation:...(his theory of) a formal universe... | Explanation:
http://www.architravedtc.com/MUDFractal.htm
This image of the “European city”, as it has formed and proven itself for centuries, lacks the sensational. Krier and Kohl’s credo has more to do with simplicity, with diversification without deformation. The typical building must allow itself to be repeated multiple times in all conceivable modifications without becoming dull. Through reproduction, the typical building defines a district. For these architects, it is self-evident that typologically similar buildings must differentiate themselves formally, so that they can be places of identity. Ultimately, the city is inhabited and used not by an anonymous mass of people, but by a community of individuals.
