Model of Space Alone technique

A design method where only the walls forming space are built in a physical model, with no building volumes, to refine the quality of the spaces first without distracting from them.

Stepwise Process for Forming Hulls
uses
A 12-step sequence of structure-preserving steps proposed in this chapter for shaping urban space as positive hulls, beginning with identifying main spaces and ending with subdividing interiors.

Concepts (1)

concept

Positive Space
implements
The property that every bit of space swells outward, is substantial in itself, and is never the leftover from an adjacent shape; every single part of space has positive shape as a center with no amorphous meaningless leftovers

How Living Process Lays The Groundwork For Coherence Of A City Through The Hulls Of Public Space
introduces
Chapter 3 of A Vision of a Living World, introducing the concept of hulls of public space as positive, living spaces shaped by structure-preserving transformations in urban design.
