Urban Design, Art, Architecture, Planning The formation of specialized groups helps to manage information and encourage ideas with imagination. The cacophony of thousands of new voices make this especially important. Urban designers have begun the evaluation of key knowledge assets formed by specialized design groups. (see possibilities below) The use of standards requires an integrated approach. The desire to accomplish a greater whole is a powerful motivation for bringing urban planning and architecture into a dialogue. (see below) The UDC of APA Metro seeks a few short answers to three questions that may help to form groups for further inquiry. Please address or debate their relevance to your business/government/personal goals. The discussion will form “information pathways” about New York City the Region and the governance of its dense urban landscape to yield capital. The roots of classicism are embedded in our demand for regularity of form and a general insistence on restraint of expression. More recently, everything changed. We are forming groups to examine the disparate attempts to free architecture and art as a derivative of Greek models and Roman principles. This is New York City’s foundation, but not its future. How will we design information pathways to allow the engineering of our landscape in ways that reflect the technological promise and growing political stature of sustainability? As a given, we are asked to embrace bold new aesthetic expressions. They are filled with new information about our capacity to manage our carbon or plutonium “footprint” responsibilities. This is a vision that holds a promise to the unborn. We need designers to frame our understanding of earthly survival behaviors and practices that include the means to becoming a just human among all humans. In New York City, the business of commerce, trade, information technology and design-manufacturing, is the product of an ingenious structure for development, but remains as secretive as possible. To achieve a healthy financing climate secrets retain capital as hard currency but block knowledge capital advancements. If this is a true statement, we seek designers to define these blockages and thereafter produce an integrated decision making platform. Proposed Knowledge Analysis Teams, Study Groups, Advocates & Researchers List is in Formation & Additions are Requested, the links lead to a group on this subject... History: Standards, Metes and Bounds of Urban Design… Security: Nameless, faceless fear... Energy: Movement: Streets, wheels, rails, light, air, walk... Density: NYC’s Maximum Build Out... Housing: Diversity, Social Context, Means Test... Work Places: Diversity, Social Context, Means Test... Information Technology: GIS, TQM, CAD, Critical Path.. Public Participation: checks, balances, voting, conflict reduction... Market Capture Design: entertainment base, per capata assessments, view position, enclosure, sounds, smell Interested in collaborating on the writing, editing and content of this in the pursuit of the like and unlike minded?
