The artist's impression reveals a different approach to the usual suburban layout of detached homes arranged in cul-de-sacs. |
He favoured communal green spaces, cul-de-sacs, semi-detached houses and terraces with gardens front and back. |
The curving lines of the roads give them the look of village lanes, and the few cars that venture into the cul-de-sacs usually travel slowly. |
The roads and pavements of these cul-de-sacs are quasi-private places, gated communities without gates. |
The tempo, which at first seems uniform, is in fact delightfully variable, accelerating through gooseneck curves and then slowing into lariats and culs-de-sac. |
The culs-de-sac, uninviting to eye and nose, were as Italian as the church. |
