LOWER BAAKENS VALLEY - URBAN ANALYSIS

A simple SWOT analysis done on the Bakkens Vally Precinct.

Urban design addresses how neighborhoods and the built environment are formed. Urban design is about making connections between people, places, urban form, nature, and the built environment.

The vision and main aim is that the following will allow the precinct to reach its full potential in a sustainable, accessible, and safe way via applying the principles of creating vibrant spaces that are walkable for pedestrians and also connected to each other and the broader context. Sustainable principles can be encouraged through the idea of custodianship.

The Importance of Contrast

When I think of visual contrast, especially as it pertains to painting, the first thing that comes to mind is light/dark, but contrast is so much more than that.

I am on the tail end of my Second Annual Self Made Artist Residency in Florida and unfortunately, a bout of the flu set me back a week in my plans, so I’m afraid that a lengthy blog post isn’t in the cards. However, a valuable lesson is…

While a good part of this residency is reserved for time to paint, read, write, rest, I also spend a lot of it hiking and taking photographs for painting…

Some places and experiences are timeless; they possess 'the quality without a name'. #ChristopherAlexander It's these things that we try to capture with art. (at Pähnitz)

Homage. Yes. We make homage. Towards those that are ever since inspiring. Sir Edwin Luytens. Sigurd Lewerentz. Tessenow. Jos Vandriesche. Fujimori. Lina Bo Bardi. And lots of more: Le Corbusier Maison Blanche. Shakers. Brancusi. ChristopherAlexander A pattern Language. The Smithsons. Morandi.

Drawings of my oldest son Otto: how he makes his evolution of the prototype of a house: he shapes and shapes. Of course and as already said: the yurt but also the square farmstead

Give it a try, it's excellent and shows some insights about a very basic thing of existence, #mess.

In short, no pattern is an isolated entity. Each pattern can exist in the world only to the extent that is supported by other patterns: the larger patterns in which it is embedded, the patterns of the same size that surround it, and the smaller patterns which are embedded in it. #christopheralexander #breakthegrid #colors #street #madrid #patterns
