Excerpt from Building Height Bulk, and Form: How Zoning Can Be Used as a Protection Against Uneconomic Nomic Types of Buildings, on Land High-Cost Land Trained as an architect, at first in this country, and then at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, George Burdett Ford was soon primarily interested in the field of City Planning. In his service with the New York Commission on City Planning and the Commission on Building Districts and Restrictions, in his large and varied professional work as a city planner, in his work for the French Government in replanning Rheims and Soissons, in his lecturing, in his writing, he had become an international leader in the City Planning movement. As an architect and an artist, he had a profound influence on modern "skyscraper" architecture. The conception of the "Zoning Envelope" within which the form of the restricted building must lie, the first visualization of the architectural forms so brought about which now create a new architectural style, - these were primarily the work of George B. Ford during the drafting of the New York Zoning Ordinance passed in 1916. Perhaps more than any other architect, he faced squarely and studied completely the factors of the economics of construction, upkeep, use, and mutual amenity of city buildings, as an inseparable and underlying part of the whole problem the final solution of which is the efficient and beautiful neighborhood or district rather than the individual structure. He died, it might be said, in armor and on the field of battle. He had hardly settled to his duties as General Director of the Regional Plan Association of New York, his task being to keep the Plan a living force and an inspiration to the Region and to the country at large. On the very day before his death he had finished the writing of a report for the Harvard School of City Planning on Building Height, Bulk, and Form which carries further some of the ideas and ideals for which he had fought so well. His whimsical humor, his amazingly constant good temper, his optimism and enthusiasm backed by the most self-sacrificing hard work, were a gift to the world which will not be replaced, - nor forgotten.

PREFACE. THE Author of this very practical treatise on Scotch Loch - Fishing desires clearly that it may be of use to all who had it. He does not pretend to have written anything new, but to have attempted to put what he has to say in as readable a form as possible. Everything in the way of the history and habits of fish has been studiously avoided, and technicalities have been used as sparingly as possible. The writing of this book has afforded him pleasure in his leisure moments, and that pleasure would be much increased if he knew that the perusal of it would create any bond of sympathy between himself and the angling community in general. This section is interleaved with blank shects for the readers notes. The Author need hardly say that any suggestions addressed to the case of the publishers, will meet with consideration in a future edition. We do not pretend to write or enlarge upon a new subject. Much has been said and written-and well said and written too on the art of fishing but loch-fishing has been rather looked upon as a second-rate performance, and to dispel this idea is one of the objects for which this present treatise has been written. Far be it from us to say anything against fishing, lawfully practised in any form but many pent up in our large towns will bear us out when me say that, on the whole, a days loch-fishing is the most convenient. One great matter is, that the loch-fisher is depend- ent on nothing but enough wind to curl the water, -and on a large loch it is very seldom that a dead calm prevails all day, -and can make his arrangements for a day, weeks beforehand whereas the stream- fisher is dependent for a good take on the state of the water and however pleasant and easy it may be for one living near the banks of a good trout stream or river, it is quite another matter to arrange for a days river-fishing, if one is looking forward to a holiday at a date some weeks ahead. Providence may favour the expectant angler with a good day, and the water in order but experience has taught most of us that the good days are in the minority, and that, as is the case with our rapid running streams, -such as many of our northern streams are, -the water is either too large or too small, unless, as previously remarked, you live near at hand, and can catch it at its best. A common belief in regard to loch-fishing is, that the tyro and the experienced angler have nearly the same chance in fishing, -the one from the stern and the other from the bow of the same boat. Of all the absurd beliefs as to loch-fishing, this is one of the most absurd. Try it. Give the tyro either end of the boat he likes give him a cast of ally flies he may fancy, or even a cast similar to those which a crack may be using and if he catches one for every three the other has, he may consider himself very lucky. Of course there are lochs where the fish are not abundant, and a beginner may come across as many as an older fisher but we speak of lochs where there are fish to be caught, and where each has a fair chance. Again, it is said that the boatman has as much to do with catching trout in a loch as the angler. Well, we dont deny that. In an untried loch it is necessary to have the guidance of a good boatman but the same argument holds good as to stream-fishing...

"Grand Urban Rules offers a compilation and discussion of significant rules invented and implemented by European, North American, and Asian cities. The reader does not only get an overview of the functionality and repercussions of these rule sets but also gains insight into the context and situation of the specific city through the lens of rule-based governance: a citys code as the inverted, abstracted and extracted image of a citys actual situation. Setting standards is first and foremost a cultural act. We map cities by their rules! The publication is based on a database of approximately 100 relevant urban rules researched over the past three years at the ETH Zurich. These rules describe built form with regard to physical characteristics, qualities, and consequences as well as the distribution of program, density, urban performance, and aesthetics."--Publisher's description.
