Planning

Le Corbusier was an architect and artist who was famous for his contributions to what now is called modernist architecture. During the international modernism movement the plan was given preference. As a pioneer of theoretical thinking, In his book “Towards a New Architecture” he boldly states that “the plan is the generator…Without plan there can be neither grandeur of aim and expression, nor rhythm, nor mass, nor coherence…A plan calls for the most active imagination. It calls for the most severe discipline also. The plan is what determines everything; it is the decisive moment”, which summed up interior design and planning quite accurately implying that planning is everything. As a designer, everything should begin with the floor plan with all its implications of rational relationships, rather than impose some sort of artistic vision on a building as priority. With influence of digital modeling software nowadays, the section becomes the new option given that it is perhaps the best drawing and representational technique for understanding form and space.
Our goal was to create an environment in UT3 that bettered the half life 2 model. In doing so we assigned specific roles to each person in the group and we run the weeks as planned in the schedule. Essentially our digital project converts a materialized model made from max into UT3 where all the lighting and landscape are done.
The spatial planning of our unbuilt building involves an atrium space at the bottom level where the character can move into a huge interiorlized courtroom and up onto the stairs onto the second and above levels. Our chosen building is rather spacious which we intended for the user to experience the space. Urban planning is not just concerned with the making of plans but also with the management of development to ensure that it accords with the objectives of the plan and is developed to the benefit of the general public. Statutory planning, or otherwise known as town planning, development control or development management, refers to this part of the planning process that is concerned with the regulation and management of changes to land use and development. Usually, a developer is required to lodge a planning application with the government body, usually a local council, for approval. That application is assessed by the statutory planner to see if it complies with the relevant planning objectives, controls, standards, policies and provisions and decided for approval or rejection. The aim of having statuary planning is to improve quality of life for residents ensuring that the land use requirements of the community for housing, employment, retail, leisure, community facilities, waste, minerals and transport are met in a sustainable way, and to conserve and enhance the best features of the natural and built environment.
