Evolved and variously settled over time, urban settings have a unique history and underlying spatial order. When asked to intervene in such places our first aim is always to understand this underlying logic. By evaluating its strengths and limitations we are able to propose ways of structuring space and organising activities that create an appropriate framework for new development.
Enhancing the existing community’s needs and aspirations and creating a synergy with the aspirations of new inhabitants, careful urban design strengthens the character of a place and animates it with new attractions and amenities.
