ARC200 –Research Scenario 1

To further our research of Yorkville we decided to focus on specific spatial conditions and elements related to walkability. (3b) The uniqueness of the street consist of the diversity in density in terms of building uses, services to the public and specific public targeted highlighted in the bottom left Diagram. It creates seamless boundaries with porches, planters, benches and stairs downwards for entrances. In the top diagram illustrates the different street entrances create an unique relationship between the street threshold and front to attract walkers.

The street’s prime location attracts people and materiality is a crucial factor which is illustrated in the bottom right Diagram. The street is aesthetically pleasing. The details in metal railing, and using wood planks to give privacy to an open terrence shows how people’s pleasure are the first priority. These traits make it a successfully desirable place for people which we have illustrated by highlighting the greener, the detailed-vast-expensive materiality, the cleanness, and absence of transit.
