Review list of Urban Experiences Theory Classifications
- Choose a primary and secondary, top-level classification
Purpose to Problem (thesis),
- What is the problem, how applied to 22@ and social cohesion (social simulator)
- who (as specific as possible)
- Why important including social value
Lit Review, Theory of Urban Analysis Tools and Urban Design related to thesis
Research 22@ / Barcelona problems, 3 recent articles (El Periodico, El Pais, other)
UO Case Studies, relevant with operations, workflow diagram, their purpose and plugins
Background including statistics and info-graphics
- qualitative media: conceptual images and contextual images
- abstract data measurement, statistics related to measure quality
- Catalan/Barcelona (Generalitat/Ajuntament)
- 22@
- comparative city such as Portland, New York City, EU,
- identify regulations such as laws at the EU, Spain, Catalan and City government level
Visual Language, quantitative method, develop visual language of the qualities to measure and compare parametric variations
Dataset, Primary (off-site virtual from Google, Yelp, other), Secondary (22@ pdf) and GI
**Purpose // Urban Characteristics (Criteria) // Indicators, choose first 3+ criteria (urban design characteristics)
Analog Parametric Tool
- Unit (parcel and 10/10/10 historic), organization (abstract GH or existing Rhino) and Cerda, external forces, parametric operations
- Identify Outside forces: What conditions would operate as outside forces on the units to affect their variables? Ex. Mountain, sea; Diagonal; metro stations; proximity to parks; existing business, residential and 7@ institutional clusters; environmental conditions of wind, light, thermal conditions;
- Qualitative / quantitative translations (types and or rating systems)
- Abstract Block Study
- Real-World Block Study- Choose a block in the 22@ area. Review selection with me.More typical blocks are in the center. Diagram it. Document- one relationship at a time- the differences within the block. Methods: Axonometric, plan and section. 22speranza.wordpress.com
- Real-World 3×3 Block Area Study
Digital Parametrics
- Learn operations in GH
- Identify plugins, learn (HUMAN, ELK, GALAPAGOS, DIVA)
- Dataset collection (theoretical and off-site virutal to excel)
Findings (emergent patterns) or Analysis to Synthesis Tool
Parametric Formula (Diagram)

STEP
01. Purpose: Define an unmeasured urban experience problem in the 22@ district.
– What, Why significant, Who does it affect?
- Research: Explore the parameters to measure this quality of attachment.
– Identify parameters.
– Comparative statistic in Barcelona with other cities.
– Develop a visual language for parameter.
03. Criteria: Explore urban design characteristics for parametric inputs.
– Criteria to indicators: Identify indicators of these characteristics.
– Map indicators for a 3 x 3 block set area (on-site only)
– Analyze relationships individually
– Repeat in other locations such as Granada, Spain (on-site only)
04. Formulate: Develop relationships as analysis tool including weighting parameters
– Model parameters at abstract unit parcel
– Model parameters at parcels across abstract unit block
– Identify existing Grasshopper plugins (HUMAN, ELK, Galapagos)
– Model real-world case-study block in 22@, build 3D model
05. Model as Agent: Repurpose urban analysis tool for synthesis
– Expand the real-work block to 3 x 3 test area with case-study at center
– Develop parametric tool in Grasshopper including output
– Diagram final formula from grasshopper
06. Findings: Look for emergent patterns and
