101 Things I Learned® in Urban Design School Review “At moments the book evokes Christopher Alexander’s A Pattern Language; at other times, it reads like aphorisms from a TED Talk; and yet at other times, it is reminiscent of desk crits in school….The authors use jargon-free language [to] demystify urban design…a good reminder that much of what we, as designers, take as self-evident can be new to those not steeped in urban design and that complex concepts can be communicated in a clear, concise way. —Architecture Boston  About the Author MATTHEW FREDERICK is an architect, urban designer, instructor of design and writing, the author of the bestselling 101 Things I Learned® in Architecture School, and the creator of the acclaimed 101 Things I Learned® series.
