Introduction Lecture

What are some problems in these images?

Gentrification – spill to Airbnb, rentals, cost fo ownership. Cost of meals. Cost of shipping.

Avg income 2022 is

34,000€ ($72k Oregon)

and cost to own city centre is

5,600€/m2 (4,500€)

Diversity equity and inclusion

Water – use and run off Urban heat island – materials at the human scale

Air pollution – taxis, T-Usual subsidy. Children. Caregiving

Nosie – people on vacation.

What is the fine-granular scale of understanding of these issues?

 

Walking to your flats in Clot yesterday I passed:

Person sleeping on bed in sleeping bag

Women who seemed to have mental health problems in a bench

Person pulling material from refuse containers

Guy with cup in Clot plaza.

 

Small scale (human experience – RCR) to large scale (model)   15 minutes

What are the problems that urban design can address for these people? I will not accept anything but a FG understanding that is a surprise, and then the absolute engagement for behaviors and parametric / change arch strategies to filter. We know about air, noise and heat island, around housing via client. Not the FG here.

 

Humility- how to listen and learn about their problems, with an open mind? Not with your preconceived notions of the problem or your solutions. How are you going to tell them their problems?! Newspaper. Observation. Other researchers via citation.

ORGANIZATION OF THOUGHT, Schedule, 15 minutes

***See schedule + calendar***
Some past projects: Portland, Island Park UO

PART I

Fine-grained Urbanism, seeing, History + Media Skills

Theory background: Maritime Metropolis, Modernisme, Contemporary plans since 1992 Olympics through 22@ (key precedent of MdPV)

   

   

Urban Design project: urban health, background, choosing and testing. Social + Ecology

Data Collection Methods: acquisition (In-person, data logging, sociological protocols, Elk and Viz tool, Arduino basics)

Urban Ecology with Cynthia Echave
CLT to support social and environmental

 

PART II

Theory: problem development
Project: Schematic Design, street design
Data Collection: advanced Viz (circle, Arduino GIF) design research + design criteria
Map Methods: advanced analysis and design mapping systematic response over units of city
{Review}

Refinement and presentations.
Presenting data over time

Final: movie + slides

HOW WE WILL WORK, 8 MINUTES

Input + discussion via Teams channel
I will make headers. Limit to one phrase. Equity in group discussion.

Intermediate studio means:
Intense methods. Deep. Trust.
No more talk of doors, stairs, bathrooms. (Your risk)
You push method and ideas, I’m a lens for argument. Comprehensive studio is test of your independence.
