| Summary: | Urban Compendium collects interesting texts on urban morphology, provides a theoretical summary, and then applies this knowledge through direct experimentation on specific cases study. The compendium offers fundamental insights into urban development and clarifies the interconnections among various segments of urban settlements. The pamphlet is organized into two sections. The first is theoretical, aimed at providing insights into urban morphology by exploring different viewpoints to understand its complexity. The second section focuses on Swedish cities along the Bothnia Gulf, including Haparanda, Luleå, Piteå, and Skellefteå. These cities are analyzed as case studies to apply urban morphology concepts such as historical development, figure-ground analysis, tissue study, examination of public spaces, and the landscape of production. The exercises aim to dissect the influences shaping these cities and to offer an initial understanding of the patterns that define the Swedish coastal Arctic region.
