Theorists: site-relevant key points
Just had a look at the theorist summaries we produced & thought the following points seemed to be most relevant to the site/our design:
- Water should be present & accessible (William H. Whyte & Christopher Alexander)
- An area should serve two or, ideally, more primary functions ~ flexibility of use (Jane Jacobs)
- Visual scope: "points at which the larger picture can be taken in" ~ viewpoints & sight lines (Kevin Lynch)
- Time series: "designing 'melodies' in a series that is experienced over time, i.e. a casual sequence of detailed landmarks" ~ rhythm & flow (Kevin Lynch)
- Opportunities for sittable space (William H. Whyte)
