Planning
The administrative system of the built environment
Spatial Planning
The manipulation of space in order to structure social interaction
Design
"Architecture concretizes existential space.” Norberg-Schulz
The creation of a (material) object – identifiable and separate
Urban Design
The creation of potential and possibilities in cities
"Cityness
Cities are our critical starting ground and ongoing territory. Cityness is hereby a form of being together and it is expressed in an interrelated matrix of cultural, social, spatial, environmental and time-based layers. By sharing space and spatial habit, cityness is more than the sum of its parts.
Tectonic
Is the understanding of physical forces that have given rise to cities, a constructed and material reality.
Tolerance
To be able to link, connect, and suture the parts together. The notion of tolerance is a measure of the articulation of physical details in architecture, as well as programmatically, and in terms of the degree of fit of the architectural proposition into an existing urban context. Tolerance is both a question of material; of technical precision and connected to political and social structures at a wider level.
Process
Refers to both, the practice of urban design and the inherent time-based processes of the build environment. The way of doing things has a relationship with what we do and produce. Cities, human environments and subsequently urban designs are subject to different temporal modes and change.
Participation
To have a share or to take part in a range of scales. It enables integrative social and spatial processes and addresses research, design, planning, decision making, building, inhabitation and management.”
