Kahn focuses on the site in its context. The boundaries of which may be represented as harsh but they are often more fluid and contain multiple overlaps. The Urban Constellation embodies these overlaps and juxtapositions. There are many employable tools to understand the site better. As a conceptual tool, Kahn calls out representation. Representation is a critical tool for understanding the multiplicity and layers within a site.
While the Renaissance city may have been understood as contained and within walls, the Leonardo da Vinci View of Milan exemplifies Kahn's argument for a city that extends and crosses boundaries.
