di Domenico + Partners' approach to
urban and open space design is based context
and built form. This approach collects,
interprets and analyzes site data as well as
strives to create 'Place'-the personal
connection to an urban space.
In the analysis of site context it is
important to account for the existing
fabric-current zoning, land use, circulation,
etc. In addition, historic context-changes
over an extended period of time-serves to
identify events and causes that have
influenced the development of an area.
The analysis and interpretation of built
form-building footprints, massing, setbacks,
materials etc-provides an understanding of
the impact of construction at the urban
scale. The firm's approach has helped to
understand the qualities and character of a
successful urban space. |
