This document discusses the key elements of urban design, including signage, lighting, parking, landscaping, service areas, fencing, building materials, building articulation, and transportation. It provides details on each element, with a focus on how they should be considered and integrated into urban planning and development projects. Signage, lighting, landscaping, and building materials/articulation are some of the elements that contribute to the aesthetic character and visual experience of the urban environment. Other functional elements like parking, service areas, and transportation infrastructure need to be designed carefully with considerations for accessibility, traffic flow, and minimizing visual impacts.
The document discusses site planning, street furniture, landscape design, and elements of landscaping. It defines site planning as the organizational stage that involves land use zoning, access, circulation, and arranging compositional elements. Street furniture creates settings for resting and socializing, and should be located based on function and match surrounding surfaces. Landscape design combines nature and culture by arranging land features for aesthetic and practical reasons, using both hardscape and softscape elements. Key elements of landscaping discussed are color, scale, form, texture, balance, and unity.

B.V. Doshi is an Indian architect born in Pune in 1922. Some of his key philosophies and principles include a mythical sense of space, flexibility in structure, symbolism, and creating amorphous forms. He believes architecture should facilitate human inhabitation rather than just being a container for activities. Some of his notable projects include the NIFT campus in Delhi, the Amdavadni Gufa art gallery, and the IIM campus in Bangalore. His works emphasize passive design, use of local materials, and creating a sense of community.
In land use planning, urban open space is open space areas for "parks", "green spaces", and other open areas. The landscape of urban open spaces can range from playing fields to highly maintained environments to relatively natural landscapes. They are commonly open to public access, however, urban open spaces may be privately owned. Areas outside city boundaries, such as state and national parks as well as open space in the countryside, are not considered urban open space. Streets, piazzas, plazas and urban squares are not always defined as urban open space in land use planning.

This document discusses urban morphology and the determinants of urban form. It begins by defining key terms like form, urban form, and urban morphology. It then describes the two main types of urban form - organic and grid oriented. The main determinants that shape urban form are described as natural (e.g. topography, climate) and man-made (e.g. political, religious, economic). Specific examples of each determinant are provided with images to illustrate how the determinant influenced the urban form. The document also includes a glossary defining terms commonly used in urban design like urban block, public realm, grain, and density.
In this theory the form is outcome of various physical, social, psychological and symbolic functions
For example if we want to design concert hall, the form will be the abstract of functional data which is defined by the distance of the seats the place of foyer the relation between all functions and also a symbolic appearance of the building. In this type of design the context of the building is not considered and we can put the designed project in different sites and places with no attention to the contextual matters. In this theory architects must act like a scientist. It means that they have to find some form in a body of pre existing facts. So it can be named as kind of true and false game. The designer will do its job according to client`s needs climatological conditions and community values. The difference is here that architects cannot define general lows for the design solution as like as the scientists do.
Organic architecture is a philosophy of architecture which promotes harmony between human habitation and the natural world through design approaches so sympathetic and well integrated with its site, that buildings, furnishings, and surroundings become part of a unified, interrelated composition.

This document discusses the concepts of critical regionalism and reinterpreting modern architecture through local traditions and culture. It provides perspectives from Kenneth Frampton on critical regionalism, which calls for consciously bounded architecture that establishes a territory and optimizes building systems for local climate conditions. It also shares views from Raj Rewal on how architects should learn from but not blindly copy the past, and should re-invent modernity through local traditions, materials, and building techniques suited to contemporary needs. Rewal believes India's architectural identity will be pluralistic rather than mono-centric, reflecting its diverse society.

This document discusses Charles Correa's approach to critical regionalism in architecture. It provides background on the origins of the term "critical regionalism" and its goals of addressing issues of placelessness while rejecting pure ornamentation. It examines Correa's focus on site context, climatic responsiveness, cultural values, and use of local materials blended with new technologies. The document analyzes two of Correa's projects - the Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya museum in Ahmedabad, which uses a modular design with a central pool, and the Jahar Kala Kendra center, whose plan draws from the nine-square city model of Jaipur. Both prioritize ventilation, light, and response to climate.
James Wines is an American architect known for his philosophy of integrating buildings with their surrounding natural environments. He advocates for hand drawing in conceptual design alongside computer tools. One of his projects was a retail showroom for The Best Products Company that had portions of its brick facade peeled away to reveal the space behind it, exploring relationships between art and architecture. Another project was a food kiosk for Madison Square Park designed to blend into the surrounding vegetation as a miniature garden. He also proposed an environmental center called the Aquatorium that would tell the story of water through interior and exterior exhibition walls fused with the surrounding topography.
