To many observers, organizing urban design projects to be carried out building- by- building, and landscape- by-
landscape by a number of developers according to an overall conceptual design is the core of urban design work. Many
architects see all- of- a- piece urban design as inferior to total urban design because it Is less a work of individual art.
They believe projects would be better if dream of and designed by one hand as in Le Corbusier’s design for the capital
complex in Chandigarh or Oscar Niemeyer’s work in Basilica. Others, however, believe that it is only through all- of- a-
piece urban design that both a unity and variety can be captured in large project design today.
