Master Planning Process for the Town of Marsta: Concept boards illustrating “A New Kind of Planning Process”
01/01/1972Fourteen large presentation boards illustrating the proposed planning process based on five guiding principles; the first six boards give an overview of them and the planning process in general, providing clarifications on ‘Pattern Language’, ‘Diagnosis’, ‘Projects’, ‘User Groups’ and ‘Procedure’, as design tools of the process. The following four boards depict simulation studies as examples for town growth, and for user groups applying patterns to design neighborhoods, repair an existing area, and layout on the land a public building. The next three boards illustrate procedures enabling users to design an apartment building, a cluster of houses, and an individual house. The last board summarizes the importance of the proposed process.
