Project Assignment Update

Please post as [04 Project Draft] for Tuesday

TEMPLATE

Please use the template on the Google Drive and the outline below.   The pages are Supersquare 8.5 x 8.5 (8.75 x 8.75 for full bleed trimming in Lulu).  Although we will print full breed please keep important content 1/2″ away from the 8.5 x 8.5 edge.  I’m also happy to discuss independent study and or joint writing opportunities with work.  There are moments of very advanced research in the work.

.

SPREAD I (printed to 11″ x 17″, landscape)

Page 1 (left page, 8.5″ x 8.5″) Title and Authors

• Title: two words
• Authors
• Icon/Image (later)

Page 2 (right page) INTRODUCTION: Purpose to Problem (thesis),

• Objective (Project Purpose Paragraph): What is the purpose / problem related to social interaction and Superilles; who does it affect (be as specific as possible); Why is it important; (highlight key words)

• 3D unit diagram with geospatial variables, Choose 1-2 (parcel area, height, sidewalk width, rail, bike, waterway) Hint: see OSM/ELK

• Qualitative images: Zoomed-in small thumbnail or narrow texture of swatch of qualitative image/material perhaps hinting at final output. Example: seating, play, eating, 
• Social Interaction and Cohesion Tool Diagram with highlighted primary (Social, Demographic and Infrastructure) and 2 secondary categories. List Urban Qualities and indicate if each is a physical urban characteristic or a an urban phenomena.
• 
• 
•  **visual notes– quantitative method, develop visual language of the qualities to measure and compare parametric variations. Set the tone for the unit and highlight color here.

 

SPREAD II

Page 3 (left page)  BACKGROUND (Contextualization)

• Literature Review: Theory of Urban Design related  (1-3 quotes)
  • **Address ideas from the reading that include: bottom-up urban design; Latour’s idea of attachment; Morales’s ideas on how the Eixample Plan Cerda works; Allen’s idea of the field condition; Corner’s idea of adaptability with specificity; Jacob’s idea of unpredictability; Schartz’s idea of scenarios; Guallart’s idea of self-sufficiency (Post); Jan Gehl’s ideas of walkability (post); other ideas from readings
• Research Social Interaction and Superille / Eugene/Barcelona problems: 1- 3 recent articles as quote or informational statistics (Register Guard, Eugene Weekly, El Periodico, El Pais, other) (citations)
• UO Case Studies and or Plugins (optional)
• Comparative Statistics: Infographics begin here and continue to next page
• • EUG / BCN / PDX  (compare to Portland ), big numbers and %’s.
  • Laws governing your project (USA, Oregon, Lane County, City of Eugene) (EU, Spain, Catalunya Generalitat, Barcelona Ajuntament)
  • Diagrams- visualize/organize relationships of your ideas in degrees of time, material, space and real-time data
  • Bar charts and graphs may also be helpful, especially for comparison.

** graphic hints: set quantitative baseline big picture to small indicators to follow.

Page 4  (right page) BACKGROUND: Quantitative and Qualitative Baseline (statistics and info-graphics)

• Qualitative media: swatches of your urban design qualities
• Abstract scientific data: measurement of basic relationships, statistics related to measure quality (ex. 6:1 water to urban farming recommendation). Abstract and Baseline models.
• Timelines: Identify time relevance in periods (hours, day, week, year, years) Material Landscape Diagrams (background data from Wiki, etc, redrawn) Documentation and then Analysis. Examples: Monthly rainfall in Eugene /  Portland / Barcelona; annual cycle of London Plane tree; daily cycle of winds in Eugene / Barcelona.

SPREAD III

Page 5 (left page)  METHOD (to be clarified)

• Study Block/Street and Eugene Superilla– Document one relationship at a time- the differences within the block.
• 3D Parti with External Force of New Dataset Information source: (citations perhaps with * # legend):
  •     On-situ Database Collection (CSV) from 108 point collection method
  •     Off-site Data (OSM and other) from Google Maps, Google Street View, Bing, Yelp, and other virtual sources off-site observation, OpenStreetMap.org, Resources – 22@ PDFs for zoning use and open space, GIS Shape files.

Page 6 (right page)  

• Location Plan : locate your study superilla in Eugene / Barcelona (see Guallart drawings); GH Elk/OSM

(perhaps control edges, consider raster background image at selected areas of your project such as waterfront, green spaces or other more creative types of spaces)

• Data Dictionary: Purpose / Urban Design Criteria / Indicators…Measurement translations (number, types and or rating systems); GH Leafcutter alt to CSV

• GH GIS Analysis (blend, point, line tools) and post-processing, citing any GH plugins, Identify possible plugins to learn including HUMAN, ELK, LUNCHBOX.

SPREAD IV
