Street Life Studies

In a moment of time when the balance between the public and the private is shifting in favour of the latter, it is important that a close eye is kept on the status of the public spaces in our cities. Vital public space tends to emerge as a product of numerous competing forces. Planning guidelines, levels of regulation and attitudes can strangle or let flourish the behaviours which enliven these areas so key to cities. This course is an opportunity to better understand the potentials and limitations of these diverse conditions. ‘Street Life Studies’ puts forward the premise that the vitality of public spaces hinges on their ability to facilitate a diversity of often unexpected usages, movements and interactions, by a broad spectrum of people, over varying time periods. It suggests that the street, as the fundamental public space of the city, is where this activity can and should occur. Within this framework, the course suggests designers may need to take a more active role in understanding, first hand, the complexity of an environment, in this case the street, before designing for it. The course will analyse two very different urban environments: Sydney and Phnom Penh. Phnom Penh streets are clear examples of diverse urban dwellers playing out much of their lives in the public domain which is appropriated to meet varying needs and generally ‘unplanned’ in terms of those involved in the design and legislation of the built environment. In Sydney, this kind of mixed informal activity is much less apparent. Street space tends to be highly regulated and often vehicle-dominated. In many areas, sidewalks are used largely for circulation. Both environments have their opportunities and constraints and much can be learned from their comparison.

Phase one of the course consists of students undertaking extensive on-field analysis of urban streets in selected areas of Sydney and Phnom Penh. Through a series of directed observational exercises, they will identify, document, deconstruct and compare their spaces, systems, users and usages, interpreting key patterns and driving forces. Emphasis will be placed on the creation of quick, hand drawn and digitally post-produced images to visually communicate urban observations and data, at a technically simple but graphically powerful level. In phase two, students will work in groups, using their observations to inform the development of two small scale urban interventions; one for Sydney and one for Phnom Penh. How can observations be used as evidence to inform design decisions? How can precedents from each city be intelligently translated to another? Students will be asked to develop artifact or system, with the intent of envisioning human-focused design interventions that contribute to creating vital public street space. www.streetlifestudies.wordpress.com #streetlifestudies

Phase 1

STREET OBSERVATIONS Phase one of the course consists of students undertaking on-field analysis of urban streets in selected areas of Sydney and Phnom Penh, through the lens of a selected theme. Guided by a series of exercises, students use hand drawing to identify and deconstruct the physical, behavioural and systematic components of each street space. With simple post production techniques they interpret and communicate key patterns, correlations and driving forces behind their findings.

"Streets and their sidewalks-the main public places of a city-are its most vital organs." Jane Jacobs “While architects and urban planners have been dealing with space, the other side of the coin – life – has often been forgotten.” Jan Gehl

Phase 2

URBAN INTERVENTION In phase two of the course, students use their observational findings as evidence to define and propose an urban intervention for either Sydney or Phnom Penh. The overall goal is to create an intervention that acts as a social catalyst in improving or supporting street life. Students begin with group workshops focused on identifying issues, outlining goals and brainstorming iterative ideas. They end in the creation of individual proposals using a single image to communicate their idea.
