    Urban Tissue: Review 1

    Uploaded by

    nitin sharma
    Urban tissue refers to the environmental context typically associated with urban design. It comprises coherent neighborhood morphology (open spaces and buildings) and functions (human activity). Neighborhoods exhibit recognizable patterns in the ordering of buildings, spaces, and functions (themes), within which variation reinforces organizing principles. Urban voids are unused and underutilized spaces that result from inefficient decision-making, poor land management, and lack of coordination among decision-makers and designers. They can be classified as planning voids, functional voids, or geographical voids.

    This dissertation Urban void is characterized as unused and underutilized spaces. They talked about
    the how Urban voids are the result of ineffi cient decision making , poor land management
    ,poor coordination among decision makers and designers and the The ownership belongs
    to both private and public
    Classification of urban voids
    - Planning voids
    - Functional voids
    - Geographical voids
    They also try to relate the type of voids in Indian context
    Although there are similarities between the cities of the west and the Indian cities, but
    there are also major difference. The aim was to strengthen the public realm of the
    neighbourhood , voids concerning with the community. According to scale and
    ownership, It to 4 main types of voids :
    - Edge and Buffer Voids
    - Infrastructural Voids
    - Transportation Voids
    - Large Scale Plots

    REVIEW 2

    Fast and self centered urban life somehow degrading  the environment, spaces for socio –
    cultural activities. Urban Voids’ in the cities formed by  buildings and street corners and are
    generally known as left over spaces or lost spaces or residual spaces. These Spaces are used
    for garbage dumping and antisocial activities. The potential of such ‘Urban Voids’ to enrich the
    public space have not been exploited sufficiently because they are often neglected or forgotten in
    cities.

    Such spaces could be unused not only because of their limited functionality, but also because of
    the fact that the public eye does not perceive them at all. These spaces also disrupts the urban
    tissue. For example the areas beneath and around the flyovers of massive transport arteries, are
    spaces almost always not perceived by citizens. These spaces are the eyesore for the
    neighbourhoods.  Even though large amount of people are around such spaces but still they are
    completely invisible to their eyes or  they have nothing in them to attract the attention of the
    people.

    In today’s life, urban spaces are often confused with green and open spaces with some flora
    fauna grown for the enhancement. Critical analysis of such spaces should be done according to
    its surrounding environment only then some productive and functional spaces can be generated
    out of these voids.

    Urban voids can become a catalyst for transformation. The space could be designed in order  to
    give a sense of ownership of it to the community so that people make their best effort to maintain
    such spaces to which they feel connected.
    The approach to the design thus points out in creating liveable spaces according to the need of
    the locality and its context. It aims to generate solutions so as to create public spaces which are
    not only important at urban level but also at community level. For example:
    * The railway track precinct which act as a potential site for refurbishing the urban landscape of
    the city by providing basic amenities ,sanitary facilities’ and emergency aids or may be green
    zone or a buffer zone to the cityscape.
    * Spaces below flyovers can be used to provide green corridors, visual image for the city, tourism
    development activity area.
    * Open ground not under use -make it available for the local public, create centers for community
    gathering, political and social gathering. Dual use space concept.
