Reconstruction of an Urban Neighborhood 1996

Progresso, Ft. Lauderdale, FL, U.S.A.

Neighborhood Planning, Designed , Completed in 1996

Plan for the rejuvenation of the Flagler Heights/Progresso community, an urban neighborhood in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a congested slum-like, unprepossessing and disordered quite large area of the city, about half a mile by three-quartes of a mile. The project proposal ...

The Process of Urban Design and the Formation of Larger Urban Wholes

Theoretical basis and key assumptions for the process of urban growth, tested initially in the San Francisco Waterfront experimental project in 1979, in which the formation of larger urban wholes was highlighted as an overriding rule. This process was further ...
The Unfolding of Public Space and Gardens as Positive Space

Outdoor space is positive when it is shaped just as a room is shaped. It has a contained character, it is bounded by walls, fences, natural vegetation, enclosure of some kind. It looks into other positive spaces, some larger, some ...

Reconstruction of an Urban Neighborhood: Photographs of drawings 01/01/1996

Project, Design Process, Drawing

Digitized

Sequence of five simulation drawings showing four sequencial stages in the transformation of a small area within a neighborhood. It shows how buildings are replaced, lots are amalgamated and divided and how the four components –roads (red), pedestrian paths (yellow), ...

Digitized

Two consequetive simulation drawings focusing on the circulation network in a small part of the neighborhood; pedestrian paths, parks and squares are shown in yellow and roads and parking for the cars in red. The pedestrian structure is introduced first, ...

Sequence of three simulation drawings showing the way looped roads and parking is introduced, after the pedestrian network has been established.
Reconstruction of an Urban Neighborhood: Photographs of drawings 01/01/1996

Project, Design Process, Drawing

Digitized

Two colored simulation drawings. While the first is a diagram showing the loose, syncopated fashion in which gradual increments of the four colors –green, yellow, grey and red– can build over time a complex structure of gardens, pedestrian network, buildings ...
Reconstruction of an Urban Neighborhood: Photographs of drawings 01/01/1996

Project, Design Process, Drawing

Digitized

Three simulation drawings showing the positive space created by the placement of buildings. Each building is placed to form positive space (shown in green), and the next building is then placed again to form another coherent chunk of positive space.
Reconstruction of an Urban Neighborhood: Photographs of drawings 01/01/1996

Project, Design Process, Drawing

Digitized

Drawings presenting two versions of a simulation, performed in a Berkeley neighborhood, for testing the transformation rules for the Progresso project. The simulations show the potential transformation of the neighborhood into an area with an extensive pedestrian network, looped roads ...
