Dimensions of public space, lecture by Petar Vranic, 3 July 2013Sochi - peshkom
This document outlines the objectives and program for a summer school on architecture and urban design in Sochi, Russia. The summer school aims to collaboratively understand public spaces and how they influence lifestyle through non-conventional design approaches. Over two weeks, participants will develop their understanding of a chosen public space and factors shaping it, and design scenarios to improve local public spaces through stakeholder engagement and implementation planning. The document discusses dimensions of public space, including political, economic, environmental and social roles. It also examines challenges facing public spaces and how their role and accessibility can become more limited and privatized over time.
This document discusses potential projects for redesigning streets in a certain area. It analyzes reducing the number of lanes on two streets from four to three lanes to add bike lanes and slow traffic. Traffic analysis found the lane reduction would increase safety and reduce crashes and speeds while maintaining traffic flow.

Climathon filling voids is money makingIrina Breniuc
This document proposes a business idea to temporarily fill empty urban plots with products and functions that provide community services in exchange for tax reductions. This would increase eco-mobility, provide parking and advertising space, and promote environmental education. Some benefits include higher tax revenues for the local administration, lower taxes for plot owners, reduced unauthorized parking, and a greener, more communicative urban environment by turning unused space into opportunities. The founder's vision is to upgrade cities by converting ugly voids into better, greener, more communicative urban areas.

Sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) provide a natural approach to managing drainage around developments. SUDS slow and hold back rainwater and runoff from impervious surfaces like roads and buildings. This allows the water to be purified as it is held in wetland environments on site. The purified water is then slowly released into local waterways to prevent contamination. SUDS also increase biodiversity by creating habitats like ponds and wetlands that attract various wildlife.
The document discusses above ground attenuation systems as a type of sustainable drainage system (SUDS). It describes different above ground attenuation options like basins, ponds, filter strips, and swales. It provides details on how these systems work for quantity control, quality treatment, and amenity values. The document also presents a case study of a school development that implemented a SUDS scheme using swales and detention basins, removing the need for a pumping station and providing an amenity resource.
