Spacemate by P. Haupt & M. Berghauser Pont
The Spacial Logic of Urban Density
Due to the rising pressure of urbanization and the desire to create mixed environments, questions arise as to how and to what degree this desire can be met and optimized. Concerning this issue we must address not only quantitative matters (maximizing the number of square meters), but also the associated qualitative consequences. The situation calls for a set of instruments by which space usage can be assessed both quantitatively and qualitatively. Creating a link between the programme of requirements and the spatial objectives during the first phases of the planning process is often quite problematic. With the introduction of Spacemate, the linkage between densities on the one hand and residential environments, building typologies and the degree of urbanization on the other is clearly set out. Spacemate is thus an affective instrument for describing space usage in both quantitative and qualitative terms. |
