THIRD YEAR - 

URBAN AREAS & SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

Third Year Urbanism module on larger scale design, focusing on creating pedestrian friendly environments and challenging the existing, vehicle dominated urban landscapes worldwide.

(Case studies 1-3 produced in conjunction with peers Mieneke Jongert & Crystal Cheung)

Case Study 1 - New Urban Square: Taking an existing public square in Fuenlabrada, Madrid and re-structuring the area to enhance the social quality and improve the appeal of a forgotten area in the city. Proposal focused on creating different social nodes within the area to cater for all ages and needs, allocated within a cohesive re-structuring of the provided facilities and transport network.

Case Study 2 - Pedestrian School Routes: With a municipality incentive to improve the pedestrian itinerary for schoolchildren, a city survey was conducted along two major school routes and a transport network proposal was created - re-allocating and re-defining road types in order to increase appeal, accessibility and safety.

Case Study 3 - South N'Gambo Zanzibar: An urban survey and localised proposal for South N'Gambo in Zanzibar, focusing on analysing the existing third-world landscape and identifying key areas of improvement to bring the area up to current standards. Proposal incorporates changes to building typologies, existing provisions, transport networks and sustainable facilities.

Case Study 4 - Makuti Re-Design, South N'Gambo: Individual progression from previous C.S.3 to implement design strategies previously developed into a focused area of the city. Proposal leaned especially on the typology strategies to efficiently re-organise the area into residential & mixed use buildings around a significantly more open & verdant public area, with a transport network that has greater focus and appropriation to different users.
