Incorporating the concept of Blue Zones, we recognize that walking holds incredible healing power.🚶🏻♀️🚶🏼🚶🏿♂️ When we engage in urban design, our primary objective is to integrate certain elements that foster healthy living among residents. In the case of this distinctive multifamily complex in Las Catalinas, we have meticulously crafted walkways that seamlessly blend with nature, occasionally featuring steep paths that encourage walking instead of opting for short car rides. Cultivating small, uncomplicated habits such as walking is an exceptional and effortless avenue toward embracing a vibrant and invigorating lifestyle. 🌿 #lascatalinas #vallevalleandpartners #bluezones #architecture #urbanism #newurbanism #townplanning #urbanplanning #mixeduse #masterplanning #bluezone #greenurbanism #design #sketchup #autocad #neighborhooddesign #worldarchitecture #sustainabledesign #architecturestudio #architecturedesign #vallevalleinc #vallevalle #vallevalleandpartners #miamiarchitects #cgtop

Adaptive reuse is a strategy that involves repurposing existing buildings or spaces to serve new functions, rather than demolishing them and building from scratch. This approach offers several advantages, including the preservation of architectural heritage, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. Here are some key aspects of an adaptive reuse strategy. At Houston Habitat Oasis (H20), we envision existing Central City Industrial Park as a newly mixed-use, porous and sustainable neighborhood, compact district blocks with a fully accessible and vibrant public realm that will reduce the city’s reliance on private transportation. Civic, cultural, residential, retail, office and facilities uses generates a holistic self-sufficient community. At the ground-level, a wide range of active uses provide a rich urban and pedestrian experience. #designprinciples #masterplanning #urban regeneration #urbandesign #placemaking #cityplanning #urbanplanning #placemakingarchitect #urbandesign #architecturedesign #landscapedesign #interiordesign #architecture #archdaily #archinesia #gooddesign #architectureproject #urbanarchitecture #placemaking #urbanplanning #design #archilovers #buildupstrategy #SkylineStrategy #GreenArchitecture #Collaboration #SustainableBuilding #PlanningFramework #AgeFriendlyCity #adaptivereuse

The Kent Stainless ‘Kilkenny’ shelter is so named as our first client for it was Kilkenny Leader Partnership. The shelters can now incorporate #RTPI Screens from Daktronics and Help Points from Gaitronics. We have now delivered 6 of these #shelters to various rural towns in Kilkenny. These are sued when the traffic throughput is not high enough to allow for advertising subsidized shelters. They arrive on site fully assembled and drop in place in one lift. The standard glass side panel here is 1050mm – but for urban areas that require a narrower footprint, this can have a 630mm width. In this case, the RTPI can be moved inside the shelter to the rear of the back panel.

🌆 Transforming Urban Spaces: The Power of Successful Streetscape Designs 🌳 In today's rapidly urbanizing world, the design of our streetscapes plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life, promoting sustainability, and fostering community engagement. Here are some key elements that make a streetscape design successful: Pedestrian-Friendly Environments 🚶♀️ Wide sidewalks, crosswalks, and pedestrian plazas encourage walking and make streets safer for everyone. Green Infrastructure 🌿 Incorporating trees, plants, and green spaces not only beautifies the area but also improves air quality and provides shade. Public Amenities 🛋️ Benches, bike racks, water fountains, and public art contribute to a welcoming and functional public space. Sustainable Practices 🌱 Using permeable pavements, rain gardens, and energy-efficient lighting supports environmental sustainability and resilience. Accessibility ♿ Ensuring that streetscapes are accessible to people of all abilities is essential for an inclusive community. Community-Centric Design 🏘️ Engaging local residents in the planning process helps create spaces that reflect the community's identity and needs. Successful streetscape designs are more than just aesthetic improvements—they are investments in the social, economic, and environmental health of our cities. Let’s continue to innovate and create urban spaces where people can connect, thrive, and enjoy! DTAH STUDIO tla Janet Rosenberg & Studio FORREC Architecture49 Inc.

Urban Design Principles 🌆 Urban design principles shape the world we live in, literally! 🏙️✨ As an avid urban enthusiast and passionate architect, I couldn't resist delving into the realm of urban design principles on my journey towards creating sustainable, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing urban spaces. 🌍💡 Let me take you on a thrilling virtual tour, where we explore the fundamental concepts behind urban design, and how they can transform our cities into vibrant, livable hubs of innovation and creativity. 🚀💫 💭 Imagine walking down a street that effortlessly blends with nature, one that embraces the harmony between humans and their environment. This is precisely what the principle of integration teaches us - the power of seamlessly merging nature with our built infrastructure. 🌿🏢 🧠 The principle of compactness is equally intriguing, as it challenges us to reconsider the sprawling nature of urban areas. By favoring compact design, we can minimize commuting distances. #urbandesign #architecture #Buildingconstruction #plannedneighbourhood

Mixed-use architecture is not only a trend, but also a step towards more sustainable and functional design of urban spaces ♻️🌇 It is a response to the need to live in harmony with the environment, combining residential, office, retail and recreational functions in a single complex or building. This gives residents access to all the services they need without having to travel very far! ❎ The past of urban architecture has focused on designing areas and buildings with one specific function. ✅ However, social development, increased environmental awareness and changes in the way of life have forced a revolution in the approach to urban planning. Modern mixed-use neighborhoods that integrate different functions allow residents to live comfortably, minimising the need to move around the city. What do you think about this kind of concept? Share your opinion in the comments ✍️ #aluprof #architecture #sustainability

Placemaking is indeed a vital concept in the realm of urban design and architecture. As the world continues to urbanize at a rapid pace, it's essential to focus not only on creating functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces but also on building communities and environments where people can truly thrive, connect, and find a sense of belonging. By engaging the community, listening to their needs and desires, and involving them in the design and development of urban spaces, cities can evolve into more vibrant, sustainable, and people-centric places. Placemaking recognizes that cities are not just concrete and steel but living organisms where social interactions, cultural expressions, and human experiences take center stage. Architects, urban planners, and professionals who champion placemaking are instrumental in shaping the future of cities and ensuring that these urban spaces reflect the values and aspirations of their inhabitants. The celebration of World Cities Day is a reminder of the significance of this ongoing work to create cities that people not only live in but truly love. If you have any questions or want to delve further into the subject of placemaking or urban design, please feel free to ask. . . . . #placemaking #urbandesign #communitybuilding #cityplanning #architecture #urbanization #communityengagement #sustainability #worldcitiesday #peoplecentriccities #citylife #socialinteractions #culturalexpressions #humanexperiences #citydevelopment
