4. The Phenomenological Method vs. Computational Form-Finding
- Missing Figures: The original book relies on side-by-side analysis of plans. Old scans often place the figures at the back of the PDF, making reading impossible.
- Corrupted Typography: Norberg-Schulz uses italics for emphasis. Early OCR scans lost the formatting, resulting in gibberish sentences.
- Incomplete Bibliographies: The footnotes are often cut off, which is a disaster for academic writing.
