    Uploaded by

    Ibie Scandie Shain Quiman
    The document outlines 10 basic principles for successful urban design: 1) Creating diverse neighborhoods that accommodate people of all backgrounds and minimize environmental impact, 2) Prioritizing human-centric design focused on accessibility and adaptability, 3) Encouraging mid-rise density to reconnect people to the ground plane while bringing living spaces to city centers, 4) Using low-rise and mid-rise development to create well-enclosed public spaces like squares and courtyards.

    BASIC URBAN DESIGN PRINCIPLE

    ADSGN 8: COMMUNITY ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN DESIGN


    1.People, place, planet: a truly
    diverse mix
    By accounting for a mix of uses and activities in urban
    design, we can create neighborhoods that reflect the blurring
    of boundaries in modern life. And create places that
    accommodate people of every age, race, family dynamic,
    income, and ability. Incorporate methods and materials that
    help minimize our impact on the environment

    2. Human-centric design and activity:


    people first
    Urban environments need to be scaled to human
    proportions, senses, and experience. It focused on the
    needs and wishes of those who live, work, and play in the
    urban landscape. Buildings, infrastructure, spaces, and
    amenities should be accessible and uncomplicated. Design
    must adapt to meet people’s changing needs, providing
    options for personalization in leisure, tech, and mobility

    3. Scaled urban density: mixed
    and middling (average in size)
    Avoiding the dizzying verticality of tall buildings, the mid-rise
    provides opportunities to reconnect with the ground plane,
    enabling scaled development that is anchored in everyday
    human experience. It allows us to bring living space back to our
    city centers. The shift towards central residential enabled by the
    layering of living spaces at higher levels.

    4. A return to squares and courtyards:


    good enclosures
    At ground, low- and mid-rise level, we are better able to
    control public and private space and ensure high-quality
    amenities. By creating good enclosures – squares and
    courtyards – we are essentially creating microclimates:
    shielding people from the wind, rain and sun, letting in
    optimal amounts of daylight, or providing order, structure,
    and definition to everyday routines and movements.
    Enclosures also enable us to enhance comfort conditions
    and minimise nuisance, preventing infringements of
    personal space outside homes or in public places.

    5. Legibility and layering: the
    practical and the unexpected
    Legibility and laying is about making cities work; about
    making neighborhoods and districts easily navigable and
    practical. Good urban design should ensure that plot sizes
    and building shapes are not overly complex, with a clear
    hierarchy of streets, spaces, use and scale. Layering is
    achieved through clear demarcation of space assigned to
    pedestrians, cyclist, public transport, vehicles and mass
    transit. 

    6. A curated ground-floor experience:


    street life
    By curating the ground-floor level, we can make street life
    work and make places successful through a multitude of
    different uses. A curated ground floor means a careful
    balancing of priorities. It means making a building both
    secure and easily serviceable. It means making retail,
    food, and business space not only commercially viable, but
    cohesive and unique in look and feel. And it means
    creating value not only in terms of profit, but in terms of
    enhanced civic amenities and cultural experience.

    7. Parks, plazas and public realm:
    open space
    Open space is vital in an urban environment, whether it is
    formal, informal, subterranean, big, small, public or private –
    open space provides opportunities for relaxion, leisure and
    play. Greenspace also mitigates pollution and noise, creating
    microclimates that encourage a variety of coexisting habitats.

    8. Elevated life, amenity and greening:


    multiple ground floors
    Design should look open up elevated levels. Taking pressure
    off the street, ​‘going high’ can improve seclusion and privacy,
    lifting people above the noise, bustle and pollution of the
    ground level environment. Elevated gardens and green
    roofscapes provide additional respite and sanctuary,
    particularly in very dense and polluted urban areas

    9. First and last mile mobility:
    integrated walkability
    Walkways and cycle lanes are vital to first and last – mile
    solutions. Cycle hubs, lock-ups and end –of-trip facilities are also
    essential. By expanding opportunities to walk, run and cycle, we
    enable more people to exercise. And coupled with reduced car
    usage, this create a healthier urban environment.

    10. Micro-climates and outdoor


    communities: living outside
    Time spent outdoors reduces stress and promotes self-esteem
    and wellbeing. In dense urban environments, enabling people
    to live outside is vital to communal health and happiness.
    Design can help to increase opportunities for outdoor time
    through the use of passive technologies in buildings, and key
    architectural features such as courtyards, balconies, terraces,
    gardens, and good quality public space.
