Below are a few links/titles that I think might be useful in thinking about both the idea of landscape rules as well as in formulating thoughts and ideas about how a users-guide to the AmBot might come together.
Interboro: The Grid, a Users-Guide
[Georgeen Theodore, a partner in Interboro and Professor at NJIT, will be giving a lecture at WashU on February 11th and you may have the opportunity to talk with her about our studio research]
Alex Lehnerer: Grand Urban Rules
Atelier Bow-Wow: Made in Tokyo and Pet Architecture
Keller Easterling: American Town Plans
I will put my personal copies of these books on reserve when they arrive in a few days--in the meantime, I suggest you browse online to get a sense of their content.
