The Cultivation of an Idea
THE THEORY:
- ORIGINAL DESIGN GRID HAD A DIMENSIONS OF 28' X 18'
- DESIGN GRID WAS EXPANDED BY A FACTOR OF 100, RESULTING A GRID DIMENSION OF 2800' X 1800'
- TO PRODUCE A MIXED USE COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL USES.
THE PATTERN:
- THE REPETITIVE PATTERN PRODUCED THE PENDENTIVE IS IMPOSED ON THE CITY GRID. THE DESIGN IMPOSES TWO RULES:
- (1) THE PENDENTIVE FORM WILL BE GREEN SPACES
- (2) PUBLIC SPACES WILL DEVELOP WHERE THE PENDENTIVE FORM INTERACTS WITH THE CITY GRID.
- THE PENDENTIVE DIVIDES THE CITY GRID'S PRIMARY ROADS ALONG COMMERCIAL ROADS, WHICH WILL HOLD COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES (RETAIL & OFFICE SPACES, HOSPITALITY)
- SECONDARY ROADS FORM THE REMAINING CITY GRID LINE, WHICH WILL HOLD RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES (SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, TOWN HOUSES, APARTMENTS, CONDOMINIUMS)
