Abstract

The synthetized image has become an instrument central to public participation and opinion seeking thanks to its having appeared on the city planning scene just when the decentralizing of the administrative process found its pace during recent years. This happy coincidence led to a matching of social demands with a technological leap ahead that gave to the first a possibility of being answered. Once again it was a happy wedding of differing technique fields. in the case, electronics with communications, that gave birth to the Synthetized Image. Moving ahead from this advance's offer, the paper then explains the ins and outs of the CAD and CAO techniques and their somewhat tardy appearance on the Architectural and the Town and Country Planning scenes. These new techniques, it is here held, answer a warrantable desire felt by architects to measure out their work in terms of a four-fold image. In the last analysis, the author feels the chance of valuing out, weighing up and measuring any given momemt as within an architectural project to be the promise of these techniques here described. The synthetized Image is thus much more than a mere picture, being a true model. Behind its visible evidence, alogarythms, calculations, laws, structures can be discerned. The case in point of the Basilica District/Neighbourhood in Argenteuil is used as the work's tough-stone.
