The purpose of this Task is to conclude the Urban Design phase of the studio by developing design intentions and intervention strategies based on the initial impressions, analysis and positions about the study area.
We will follow these steps: 1. Develop the narrative of a plausible future scenario for the study area. 2. Decide as a group what are the issues of the area you are going to focus on from a spatial point of view, and where should they be located. The concept of ‘commons’ will be used to frame the selection of issues. 3. Propose urban strategies capable of addressing those issues in a gradual manner. How are you going to stage change in the area over time: which strategies and in what order? 4. Propose specific building sites in significant locations within the group strategies deployed.
