Context
Case study
Key moves
ContextA heavily engineered infrastructure barrier on the edge of Dundee; large areas of countryside and a golf course
Site extentsThe brief was expanded to include both the Kingsway and the village area, as both need to be tackled for either to be successful
Non-negotiablesWorking with the public open space and landscape; the need to break down the barrier presented by the Kingsway
Streets and structure•A street pattern is created that builds on the existing roads and infrastructure•The new hierarchy of streets is proposed in which the primary streets relate to public transport proposals.•Existing green belts are enhanced, providing the golf course with a frontage to public space and improved connections
Public open space•Create a new network of large public open spaces ranging from formal spaces to natural green belt •More formal public open space will relate directly to the neighbourhood•Development will define the proposed open spaces and the edge of the green belt
Blocks and buildings •Identifiable development blocks will be created•The block structure will be easy to subdivide•The most important buildings will be sited at key points in relation to the urban structure and primary open spaces
Concept:Breaking down barriersConnecting green space
