A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Following Ingrid Gehl. Needs based model for design.
Participatory processes for urban development provide crucial insights and important input about how particular spatial environments are viewed and experienced. But to design inclusive, rich, and diverse urban environments, we need to explore additional means and assessment criteria. In my project I explore what could be learnt for design about human needs when designing space for living.During the summer of 2023, I was part of a research team exploring data-gathering methods suitable for architects and urban designers. Building on Ingrid Gehl's 1971 book "Bo-miljø," we proposed a model using eleven lenses of human needs: comfort, privacy, play, orientation, experience, aesthetics, security, purposefulness, identity, and biodiversity. This lens model aims to guide the spatial exploration and design of public spaces.Using the Gullmarsplan area in Stockholm as a case, I explore public spaces through these eleven lenses. My objective is to investigate the model's usability in understanding how public spaces work from social, spatial, and functional perspectives, ultimately providing a holistic assessment of the urban environment. This involves examining different urban characteristics, such as commuting, local community, and event space typologies, and pushing these typologies into extreme scenarios to maximize the fulfillment of specific needs.
