蜜桃传媒app

Healthy Cities & Streets

With Kellen Krause | 1 AIA CES Learning Unit|HSW and 1 credit towards the Certificate in Classical Architecture (Elective)

On December 6, 2019, the 蜜桃传媒app held the 2019 Health, Safety, and Welfare in Traditional Design Day. As part of the day's series of lectures, the 蜜桃传媒app hosted Kellen Krause, architect at Historical Concepts in New York, for a presentation exploring the impact of urban planning on the welfare of a city's residents.

This course explores the mix of public and private realms as expressed in architecture and their urban relationships. How does NYC convey its meaning through notable buildings as well as those down the street? Which associations encourage a better life, and which inhibit? Students will be exposed to a variety of traditional and contemporary buildings and urban patterns as the course illustrates both successful and ineffective conditions.

Learning Objectives

• Understand how an expression of hierarchy in a city equates to the welfare of its citizens; that "foreground" buildings to celebrate the best of a city's public and private realms (such as town halls, libraries, and churches) are personified in prime lots and buildings in contrast to "background buildings", and that this celebration affects the positive outlook one has on their surroundings
• Explore how select neighborhoods in New York City have been conducive to safe or unsafe conditions overtime due to the design of their foreground and background buildings, and their urban form
• Understand the relationship of enduring design for foreground buildings as a means of healthy environments that do not require frequent renovation; specifically the importance of well-proportioned architecture that represents a timeless local tradition and therefore a fundamental tenant of a sustainable way of building
• Understand the use of foreground and background buildings as appropriate to the creation of healthy environments; that certain neighborhoods benefit from more or less of one type, and that an improper balance can be detrimental to the health and safety of a neighborhood; specifically with regard to impoverished neighborhoods, districts without a mix of use, and neighborhoods which are "unreachable" for a majority
• Explore the application of foreground and background buildings in a manner which raises one's spirits, that is, results in a positive community where buildings contribute to (rather than detract from) a community's welfare
