A Placemaking Approach to Design
Sponsored by Vectorworks, Inc. | Presented by Sarah Barrett
Webinar On-Demand
The days of designing for a discrete project are numbered. While creating socially sustainable environments that improve the health and well-being of community members is now a given, today's most forward-thinking architects are finding it their mission to go beyond their project in terms of both space and time—to consider, and even encourage, land use patterns in the surrounding area, and to anticipate, and even influence, future events and unexpected consequences. Best practice has become to design not only for the footprint of the project and its surrounding area but also for the timeline of the property and the people who will use it in years to come. This webinar will illustrate the practices of land use planning, placemaking, and intelligent urbanism and how implementing these practices can have a positive effect on individuals and surrounding communities throughout the life cycle of a project. Three case studies will be presented that show effective planning in action.

New planning modalities think beyond the property line to determine—and even encourage—future land use patterns.
