1. Our approach
Timeless principles:
• Mixed use, mixed income,
walkable neighborhoods
• Interconnected street network
celebrating the pedestrian
• Perimeter blocks, and buildings
that create active street walls
• A transect from centre to edge
• Location efficiency: density,
connectedness and access to
public transport
• Drawing and designing by hand

3. Our approach
Local intelligence and adaptation:
• Tools for engagement -- Enquiry
by Design

adaptation: studying typology.
pattern books and codes
• Adapting the vernacular

5. Our Approach
Appropriate technology and
finding and adapting precedent:
• Materials: Lime hemp, aerated
clay block, lambs wool insulation
• Renewable energy -- the right
application at the right scale
• Adapting traditional ways of
handling water -- sustainable
urban drainage
• New methods for development,
financing and affordability
• CAD and GIS aided design

6. Our approach
Timeless principles + local intelligence and adaptation +
appropriate technology = Sustainable Architecture and Urbanism
