As far as designing a population center based on aesthetic criteria, a
number of people have been doing this of late, most noteably A. Duaney and
Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk. While their best opus yet (Seaside, FL) is really
only a summer-home sort of area, a number of their other works are much more
substantial.
Even though I feel that a unifying force in urban design would "solve" a
few problems, so far it has only been used (to my knowledge) in developments
and the like. Where is the balance between architectural freedom and a
community defined "genius loci"?
