Clossick, Jane, Colburn, Ben and Parr, Hannah (2021) Urban Depth & Autonomy Workshops 2021. London Metropolitan University.
We hosted a series of four interdisciplinary workshops that questioned how the spatial, temporal and psychological ordering of space in the built environment shapes people’s capacity to exercise their autonomy within our cities.
Through informal presentations of research at the workshops, we explored the nature of spatial order, and the relationship between people and their environments from a range of interdisciplinary perspectives. We established common ground between disciplines; developed an understanding of the nature and breadth of existing research into spatial ordering; defined shared concepts and began to explore conceptual and normative issues around architecture and urban design.
These workshops explored how understanding Urban Depth is useful to different disciplines, how different disciplines and cultures think about and understand Urban Depth at different scales, and what future directions for research there could be, so we can harness an understanding of Urban Depth to improve citymaking and architectural/urban design and placemaking.
