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.

Dinsdag 15 december – Tekeningen met teksten van Cristopher Alexander. Ik moet nog uitzoeken uit welke publicatie dit komt. Over systemen, subsystemen en cycli van correctie en hercorrectie.

First, the taking in of scattered particulars under one Idea, so that everyone understands what is being talked about… Second, the separation of the Idea into parts, by dividing it at the joints, as nature directs, not breaking any limb in half as a bad carver might.

Plato, Phaedrus, 265D, quoted in Notes on the Synthesis of Form, Christopher Alexander

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…
