Jan Gehl- Psychology of Scale: People, Buildings, Cities
"Most Cities neglected the human aspect when planning built space"
Ignore scale
Scale simulate human senses
influence our wellbeing
New ideology prioritise speed, functionality and profitability
Vertical Cities
solve land shortage
costs of land
accomodate rising population
rise in populate means a rise in the height of the building
future liveability of spaces
Technology
fast architecture
quicker construction
people questioning the built environment
Book: The death and life of great American cities: Jane Jacobs
Human scale
horizontal sensory apparatus
see straight but not much above
50-55 degree vision above horizon
smaller scales produce communication, warmth, closeness and contact in an urban environment
Experience linked to scale
smaller scale more welcoming
“the principle should be to build cities that are attractive and cohesive at eye level and put larger buildings on top”
Typology of buildings
Wedding Cake, podium Towers
Homes for people housing strategy
Support Community
Housing is a fundamental human need
Future living
Housing Challenges
Government Influence
Affordability has different meaning
Subsidised housing
High land costs
High construction Costs
Land supply
Investors
Quality of amenities and performance
poor diversity of housing
designed as investor product
1 or 2 bedroom. lack of diversity and larger sizes
43% 1 bedroom
52% 2 bedroom
4% 3+ bedrooms
1% studio
lack of resilience in housing stock
shrinking apartment sizes
small 1 bed 42m2
standard 1 bed 50m2
standard 2 bed 52m2
Standard sizes for 2 bedroom apartments
Sydney 70m2
Adelaide 65m2
London 61-70m2
Singapore 60-65m2
poor layout and amenities
poor environmental performance
more residents than dwellings. 2014 116,000 people and 68,000 dwelling in the city of Melbourne. in 2031 proposed to be 190,000 people in 115,000 dwellings
Goals
Help provide at least 1721 affordable homes (subsidised) for low and moderate income earners by 2024
Improve the design quality and environmental performance of new apartments
Analysis tools
foster a high level of awareness and knowledge around good housing outcomes
Example of poor housing design
lack of natural lighting. poor circulation, little storage spaces, deep and narrow layout

Challenges of densification
Most viewed and searches housing is a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2 car garage house on 708sqm block. for $520,000

PROPOSITION
Create housing for families
hybrid the typology of the structure as well as the functions
maintain affordability
connected to amenties such as schools, work, transport, shops
does it need to be a skyscraper
design for street level interaction with the building and how people experience it at street level. "only see 50 degrees above horizon"
human scale
nearest the CBD for larger range of jobs
design using environmental analysis tools.
thermal comfort
lighting
shading
3+ bedrooms for families as less than 4% of apartment housing available.
more space within apartment. work larger than minimum of 52sqm for a 2 bedroom
"INTEGRATION OF FUNCTIONS RATHER THAN SEPERATE USES
diversify urban environment

ANALYSIS
Reading: Why Density. a+t publishers
CHAPTER 1
"The compact city instad of dispersed city"
"Collective housing rather than induvidual houses"
the integration of functions instead of segregation of uses"
interaction between 3 elements: agents, Fluxes, Territory
Fluxes
Natural: ecosystem of the territory. Water course or prevailing winds
borders of site
Virtual: desision flows. outside of physical territory. affect the physical evelotion of territory. political or economic decisions.
functions and building typology
material: mobility of people and goods. constrained by natural and virtual flows
road networks and who can use what roads
#
Combination of fluxes creates territory. solids and voids
city required public and private partnerships to carry out vision
CHAPTER 2: CASE STUDY
main desisions thtat shape the form:
assigned floor area ration (floor/ plot area)
maximum permitted building height
percentage floor area occupied
river pullss heart of neighbourhood towards its bank
most vibrant activity towards docklands area. pg 38
sustainable development
renewable energy sources
rainwater
seasonal flooding
remove interior and open up space with constricted views- enhances design and increases potential value of each dwelling.
if exterier views are sacrificed for greater floor area then block as whole decreases value
CHAPTER 3: DENSITY AND URBAN FORMS
diversify urban environment
4 catergories of urban block
perforated block
macrolot ir super plot
hybrid blocks
inner courtyards- private. outer areas- public
megaforms

parking for only have of occupants/ dwelling numbers to encourage use of bikes, walking, public transport
CHAPTER 5: THE CLEAN DENSITY
reduced consumption and self sufficiency
end of product life cycle
cradle to cradle building process
circular economy
co2 emissions generated by dwellings
co2 emissions generated by transport and infraestructures
carbon footprint
narrow floorplans for natural ventilation
