During the late 60 s and early 70s a rapid increase in informal urbanization occurred in response to demographic growth, economic boom, and increase in migration.

The Image of the City by Kevin Lynch is a remarkable work that defined the contemporary practice of architecture.

Joel Garreau in Introduction, explains the conditions of Edge Cities, those of dispersed sub-urban cores that juxtapose multiple entities out in the physical edge of a landscape.

Architectural context defines the setting and physical focus of ideologies.

 In the late sixties, the practice of architecture began to reflect a semiotic approach.

In An Ecological Method, Mcharg introduces the idea of an indispensable basis for landscape architecture upon which all organisms and physical environments accommodate, while Banham in Autopia, elaborates on the concept that an existing ecology can be any artificial environmental condition.
