Basic Principles of Urban Design
This well attended workshop, led by one of TRA's most experienced presenters, explains the basis of urban design in a way which "demystifies" a topic which is often seen as somewhat elusive. It outlines the contribution of urban design; explains how to analyse the qualities of urban space; and explores the meaning and application of key concepts such as permeability, vitality and variety. An integral part of the workshop is hands-on group work on layouts and three dimensional design. Thoroughly down to earth, there is a close link throughout to the commercial and political realities of current planning practice.
