Moreover, variations within a area are lost since statistical data used pertain to areas larger than the neighborhoo Here, a framework of analysis that combines three aspects of neighborhood change, na in the physical stocĶ the housing market, and the population, is proposed. Data in are collected at the level of individual properties and their interaction is studied. Vario and patterns of occurrence of these three aspects of residential change are argued to im intentions behind the practices of the many actors involved Hence, the proposed frame the complexity of the process of neighborhood change and uncovers the dynamics approach is applied to an inner city neighborhood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (USA discuss and evaluate transformations experienced in the area in the 1980s.

Research paper thumbnail of To design versus to understand design: the role of graphic representations and verbal expressions

Design Studies, 1999

The activity of design necessitates making decisions, comparing alternative routes to take to decide on one, and thinking in abstract terms for conceptualizing; thus, it is synthetic. On the other hand, the activity of understanding design is similar to reading, necessitates deciphering the thought process of the designer, making abstractions of relations, relating the design product to other examples; hence, it is analytical. As such, the common denominator between the two processes is the capacity of abstraction, ability of thinking in abstract terms. Yet, the nature and the medium of abstraction may not be the same for students with different tendencies. Here, it is argued that while the act of designing (synthesis) is primarily related with the ability of making visual abstractions (graphic analysis), 'correctly' judging a design product is related to the ability of making 0142-694X/99 $ -see front matter Design Studies 20 (1999) 123-130 123 PII: S0142-694X(98)00030-1
