Week 14: Visions of tomorrow

3 Pins

Ensure that street commerce areas are designed to balance initial investment and long-term maintenance costs.

Provide universal access and well-designed pedestrian facilities to ensure not just a bare minimum level of safety, but also to provide a desirable environment that is comfortable, enriching and encourages people to prioritize walking as the primary mode of transportation.

Emphasize safety of all users in the design of intersections. Prioritize safety of the most vulnerable users of the street, and use signals, signal timing and operations techniques to improve mobility and safety of all users.

Week 13: Walkable Cities

3 Pins

Megastructure by architect Paul Rudolphconcept: create a complete city in a single building.All concrete structure.

Boulevard, Paris streets redesigned to accommodate bicyclists. Reducing carbon foot is very important for this world to thrive.

Price Tower, Frank Lloyd Wright four modules on each floor can be accessed independently because of the four cores. Allowing better circulation and fluidity.

Week 12: Public Realm + Resources

3 Pins

(Medellin, Colombia) Tackled the problem of installing infrastructure and services into its slums:favelas ascend the hillsides, which are difficult to reach and serve.

(Beirut, Lebanon) Land pooling: many parts were uninhabited but still owned by absentee landlords, and some people with leases had a form of ownership rights.

(Delhi, India) Informal settlements result from the inability of governments to provide land, shelter, infrastructure, and services for the urban less affluent.

Week 9: Rapid Urbanization

3 Pins

Louvre, Paris; adaptive reuse design principle:ensure that new added layers are distinctly recognizable - and contemporary - instead of an imitation of the historic style.

Refurbishment Viaduct Arches, Zurich; social advantages to adaptive reuse: preserves meaningful pieces of history, and can potentially open private buildings to the public.

29Manarola, Italy; high level of significance and integrity: buildings reflect ingenuity and collective efforts of innovative citizens.

Week 8: Adapt and Preserve Cities

3 Pins

Not only is it important for city to use technology t bring people together, but to also use natural spaces to build a stronger community. Reverting back to nature is never bad.

Technology has helped progress further into the future! Finding new ways for work ethics is essential as well. As the city grows, the more it is required for planning and work.

Creating new spaces for new experience is important to bring a community together.

Week 7: Smart Cities

3 Pins

The location of transit stations and points of transfer creates value. Grand Central Station, NYC, 1937 -value in overlaying transportation with civic space.

Transportation networks shape both land use patterns and urban form (with or without zoning). World map of global flight patterns -today, global connections are essential to establish/maintain competitive economies.

The frequency, speed, and reliability of intercity transportation makes cities more competitive in the global economy

Week 6: Transport Urb & Green Infra

3 Pins

Incentive for development: government purchases land, and then make the land available to developers.

Zoning incentive: city allows developers to build higher densities in exchange for public amenities such as theaters.

Paramount Building, New York CityZoning codes, FAR, and setbacks influence building design; sometimes setbacksare mandatedto allow sunlight to penetrate the ground.

Week 5: Urban Design Tools

3 Pins

Central Park, New York City (designed by Frederick Law Olmsted; began as an artificial environment, now considered “natural.” Bringing nature into man made structures is necessary to create a marriage between the man made world and the nature itself.

Archigram(initially a group of students) envisioned temporary buildings plugged into permanent super-structures. Escalators and elevators connect the city together.

Chicago Transit Authority control center, Chicagosensors all continually produce data from transportation systems, lighting systems, occupancy indicators, security systems, heating and cooling systems, electrical utilities, etc .

Week 4 Green and Systems City Design

3 Pins

Modernist city design today: highways divide city into districts; gated residential towers on podiums in parks; office towers in CBD, mono-functional sprawl spreads from center.

Combining Le Corbusier’s ideas of towers in the park with Gropius’s concepts of high-rise housing based on sunlight.

Modernist buildings: plane walls, flat roofs, no historical ornament. Le Corbusier’s principle for a modern building only needs: Columns, Floor slabs, Stair, Curtains walls, and glass.

Week 3: Modern Traditional

3 Pins

With new advances in the Industrial Rev., we were able to produce more steel and resources which allowed us to build taller buildings.

Rail innovation changed cities by connecting them with speed: trips (people and goods) that took days by stagecoach could now be completed in a few hours.

The Industrial revolution changed everything. From city designs to the way of living, the rise of child labor grew for of new "technology".
