Urban[sch]isms

7. New urbanity

7.1. Secondary infrastructure [Img. 01]

Instead of creating monofunctional areas, we are creating a much more fine grained mixed areas of three basic sectors.
One grid part is composed of all three different sectors; local corridor, regional corridor and agriculture and rooted in a mixing node.
The secondary infrastructure can develop further into a primary if it starts to accumulate built fabric.
We are creating a completely new kind of dense urban environment - intertwining production and dwelling in a structured, hierarchical way.

7.2. Performativity of the new corridors [Img. 02]

The new corridors are now composed of two types of nodes; regional (where two different corridors meet) and local (in 10 min distances).
Corridors account for separation of traffic and general inclination toward production or toward dwelling.

7.3. Gridded corridors [Img. 03]

When more of the corridors are constructed, the secondary infrastructure starts to push the corridors out of linear organizational principle into a planar, creating a grid like armature of the area.
The mixing nodes give the new developed grid it’s structure and hierarchy, they are singularities in fabric where different elements of production sectors can come together and form a new kind of dense public environment, creating a new urbanity.
