Elaboration of generic guidelines for a fictive urban development: a parameter
based urban planning tool. The parameters (public space / street coverage
/ plot area / FAR / etc.) have been postulated by the Moscow based company KB Strelka, part of the Strelka Institute for Media, Architecture and Design. They are
referring to three different types of urban environment: suburban
/ semi-urban / urban. In order to illustrate the guidelines and the
effect of the given parameters, an imaginary base situation within
a virtual context has been defined. Within this base layout, the different
scenario’s have been run according to successive stages of development.
Respective data-sheets with parameters can be extracted. Besides other reservations, some general
remarks are:
- most parameters are sensible for scale (FAR/GSI);
- some parameters are political instruments (POP, area provision);
- some parameters are management tools to control costs (road network);
- the amount of social infrastructure is an outcome of an educational
system;
- the amount of non-residential is not always guidable;
- non of the parameters describe or define ‘quality’ (spatial, functional,
social, environmental).
