The Design
Process
FINDINGS TO PROPOSAL
• Who are you?
• Why are you qualified to present
today?
The Design process
1. Identification of main qualities and problems of the study area
2. Setting vision, Goals and objectives and urban design
principles
3. Developing design programs
4. Concept development (Functional and space organization or
bubble diagram)
5. Formulating design guidelines for each design elements
6. Producing maps with proposed regulations and description
(compare the existing with the proposed map)
7. 3D view of the site
8. Report
9. Physical model
• Rolling topography
• Social interaction
• Location of existing important
landuses such as commerce, open
spaces,
Qualities
• The river as an opportunity to
connect neighbourhoods and used
for various purposes
• Location of the site in terms of
proximity to center and transport
facilities
• Poor street connectivity and
inadequate infrastructure
• Lack of open and public spaces
Critical • Highly polluted and unfunctional
river
Problems • Insufficient green development
and environmental pollution
• Low density development that is
insufficient to generate activities
VISION
“creating quality public life”
Goals
- develop identify and sense of place
-
- develop and integrate new design
programs
- strengthen socio spatial
interaction
- reconnect with nature
Design principles are derived from the vision which guides the
design process by setting general established guidelines for major Design
urban design element
Strategies
Context: [Integration
with surrounding uses in Examples
terms of uses, form,
landscape etc] • Ensure new
developments
compliment existing
Connectivity: [streets, form, uses and
activities, uses, public function of the area
spaces]
• Interconnected
network of streets and
sidewalks, Connect
main existing lines
with surrounding uses
Design
Strategies
Walkability: [Safety,
activity, proximity of Examples
uses, public space]
• Provide clear, continuous
pedestrian access, Create
a pedestrian trail
Variety: [Mixed use, through out the site
mixed housing,
inclusivity]
• Propose mix of housing
types
Design
Strategies
Increased density: [high Examples
to medium density]
• Propose high density mixed
residential housing
Efficiency: [urban form, • Ensure that plot sizes and
density, public space] building shapes are not
overly complex, with a clear
hierarchy of streets, spaces,
use and scale.
Design
Strategies
Distinctiveness: [sense
of place, layout, unique Examples
functions]
• Clear demarcation of space
assigned to different
Public realm: [quality functions and uses…
public spaces, greenery,
human scale, comfort, • Develop range of open and
safety etc] public spaces
Design
Strategies
Aesthetics: [form,
symmetry, edge, vista, Examples
most importantly detail]
• Aesthetically appealing
buildings and views
Sustainable: [job
opportunity, green
technologies, • Developing urban
environment protection, agriculture along the river
energy sensitive]
Programs
• Make sure to incorporate unique
functions and activities that
overcomes the problems, and Open spaces and public spaces
attain the vision • Local community Park
Residential buildings Micro and small scale enterprise
High density Social services
Medium density and Day care
Low density Kinder garden
Mixed use buildings Clinic
Residential + Commercial Hotel
Office + Commercial Street
MSE + commercial Pedestrian street
Community owned market center Local street
Community Center Collector street
Cultural center Arterial street
Concept
Functional relationship
• Identify core landuses on which secondary
uses depends on
The major issues considered during the
functional relations include:
Compatibility with each other
Spatial connection
Socio-economic interaction
Environmental connection
Concept
Spatial relationship
• Shows space and function
integration
• Indicate the connection of
functions (major and minor
links or streets)
• Describe the space/function link
in text
Bubble

Design guidelines
Landuse
• Type of mixes,
compatibility guide,
Develop urban proportion etc. of each

Call to Action
• Proposed landuse plan • Open and public space
•

Considerations
• Density calculations (how much space is
needed to occupy the required population)
• Area and percentage of each landuses
• Description of each landuses
