Editor's Notes

- #3 UDC1FULL.pdf

- #5 The Nolli plan (in this instance Rome) is a useful urban design tool. It shows buildings in black and the spaces in between in white. Generally the more complex the pattern the more interesting the place. Think of the pattern of your nearest big box shopping centre - box in black surrounded by hectares of white parking! What would the Nolli plan be of your favourite place?
- #6 Based on the discussions during the last six months I have modified the qualities. The first 12 are drivers of good urban design/placemaking. The “optimisers” (not sure if this is the best word yet?) are variable based on personal preference. For example you and a teenager might have a different tolerance for safety (‘grittiness’)? This is still a work in progress so tell me what you think?
- #7 UDC1FULL.pdf
- #8 Signage is placed last on the list for a reason. I don’t know about you but I don’t feel comfortable in a new place unless I have a rough idea of orientation. Not necessarily a key quality for visitors though? Participants have talked about having the time to get lost in cities like Venice – and then marvel at finding Piazza San Marco around the last corner! This is the Rouse Hill Town Square – in which you can’t take any photos.
- #9 Remember Lynch’s seminal book on legibility from our university studies? Developed through his mind map research – which you will do later. Castle Hill provides a strong landmark in Townsville. If you look closely you can see the saint graffiti on the side. Some street trees along this footpath would help, and maybe some public art on the wall? The bollards might be overkill?
- #10 UDC1FULL.pdf
- #11 Really good urban places benefit from features like the Southbank pool, Sydney Opera House, Guggenheim Museum, Eifel Tower or London Eye. While these features do not necessarily represent ‘good’ urban design they make a significant contribution to attracting people. The quality of the place might bring them back?
- #12 We talked about sense of place in the introduction. No doubt Birdsville delivers good built form outcomes. However, people probably travel long distances for the event and the associated festival (and the thrill of getting there!).
- #13 I facilitated the stakeholder workshop for this street improvement on the Capricorn Coast. We ended up with the majority of the town there with plenty of great ideas and comments! They would remind me about their issue/idea every time I went back! We ere able to underground the powerlines, widen footpaths and provide pedestrian amenities. Unfortunately, they really wanted palms (which don’t provide a lot of shade).
- #14 Most of my sensory organs are overwhelmed at city markets! Private open space?
- #15 Creativity in the design of the place and in it’s delivery. The Creative Industries Precinct is Australia's first site dedicated to creative experimentation and commercial development in the creative industries. It provides a unique opportunity for designers, artists, researchers, educators and entrepreneurs to easily connect and collaborate with others to create new work, develop new ideas and grow the creative industries sector in Queensland. Working closely with partners from government and industry, QUT is a national leader in the development of creative industries in Queensland and Australia and is fast becoming an internationally-networked hub of creative enterprise. The $60 million Creative Industries Precinct boasts some of the most advanced digital facilities to support the creative work undertaken and some of the most exciting partners in identifying the next generation of ideas.

- #18 The new Council building in Melbourne not only has high environmental credentials (e.g. the facade responds to the sun) it also reinforces a small, but quality, urban place. Apparently the additional costs in the ‘healthy’ building were justified by the reduction costs due to sick leave.

- #21 Another movie you will eventually be able to see on www.placefocus.com
- #22 We acknowledge the need to engage with stakeholders- although we could be more effective? Participatory design (design workshop, EbD, etc) is one example.
- #24 The new library with a cafe on the corner and learning facilities upstairs is a great example of the public sector delivering good urban design with public buildings and facilitating a new urban centre!
- #25 Wonderful Degraves Lane with Flinders St Station in the background. A functioning laneway which changes during the day and night.
