| Abstract | This project is about the visual practices of urban planners. It applies methods associated with visual rhetoric and social semiotics to the theories of Henri Lefebvre, Lisa Peattie and Donald Schön and focuses on the production, the nature and the reception of images in planning. The approach is grounded in an historical study of images created by planners for an administrative and cultural center in Los Angeles and explores what these images can tell us about the profession and the production of civic space in the United States during the twentieth century. |
