Selected area re-planned
Selected area re-planned This stage was a manual process of re-planning the selected area based on the area provided for each programme per cell (the percentage make up per cell gave a maximum area foot print). Residential units could be stacked in order to meet requirements, on average 9 detached residential units occupied a cell, if the prescribe area / average residential area (110m2) was greater than 9 then the cell could have single homes, if not flats would be created. The re-planning is based on a 5 minute city

Virtual model of Hull as a 5 minute city in selected area
Although this is a manual attempt at re-planning Hull around an urban ideology an automated methodology can be carried out also. This method of working has been rigorously explored by ETH and their work compiled in the book Beyond the Grid and their own Kaisersrot programme. Building forms are generated by a more detailed programme then our explorations and can account for multiple factors, allowing for a greater amount of work at a larger scale to be taken on.
