Quantifying Urban Form as a Case Study in Expansion-Oriented Design: Design Practices in the Tongzhou Subcenter
As one of the essential parts in urban design practice, the methodology about case study meets new opportunities in the new data environmentNew data environment. Quantitative research framework aiming at rational and effective case study is the second type of Data Augmented Design (DAD), which is applicable to expansion-oriented design. The specific framework is constructed over four steps: The first step is the analysis of the built environment of case cities and the extraction of the spatial indicators in every spatial category; the second step is to quantify these indicators and abstract them into the spatial form modes that are considered urban genes; the third step is to select suitable urban genes in each urban gene bank, combine them into the planning project and adjust them flexibly according to the local conditions; finally, after the design project, the study evaluates the indicators of the built environment in the planned city and compares them with those in the case cities. This chapter illustrates the urban design project in Tongzhou—the subcenter of Beijing, to verify the feasibility of the framework. The result shows that this framework can provide more reasonable and scientific reference for the urban design practice.
