Mereological thinking: Figuring realities within urban form

Abstract

Mereology offers an approach to considering the city through its composing parts. Daniel Koehler - co-founder of the architectural research practice Lab for Environmental Design Strategies (lab-eds), leader of an Urban Design research cluster at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London, and a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Innsbruck in Austria - sets out its philosophical background and explores how it can be applied in this field.
