FINAL
DRAFT
COURSE
OBJECTIVE
This
course,
is
best
described
in
the
words
of
Paul
Spreiregen,
FAIA,
in
his
book
"Urban
Design,
The
Architecture
of
Towns
and
Cities,"
is
an
invitation
to
those
who
aspire
"to
be
a
true
designer
of
tomorrow's
environment,
who
must
effectively
combine
a
deep
appreciation
of
nature
in
all
its
aspects;
a
sophisticated
use
of
today's
complex
and
fast-
expanding
computerized
technology,
and
a
creative
talent
rooted
in
the
history
of
cities
and
design."
Spreiregen
challenges
design
professionals
and
students
of
cities
to
recognize
the
past
achievements
of
city
builders,
and
"respect
nature
or
suffer
the
consequences."
As
present
and
future
practitioners,
it
is
incumbent
upon
us
to
contribute
to
saving
"a
city
and
the
metropolis
from
itself
during
the
fateful
decades
of
explosive
urbanism
which
lie
ahead."
Paul
D.
Spreiregen,
FAIA,
1965
Spreiregens
words
are
as
relevant
today,
if
not
more
so,
as
they
were
50
years
ago
as
we
debate
higher
urban
densities
within
the
Portland's
Central
City
and
consider
further
expansion
of
the
regions
Metropolitan
Growth
Boundary.
We
are
experiencing
the
consequences
of
past
builders,
some
good,
some
detrimental
to
the
life
and
beauty
of
the
earth.1
Urban
design
is
a
multidimensional
discipline,
that
in
the
words
of
Mathew
Carmona
of
University
College
of
Londons
Center
for
Advanced
Spatial
Analysis,
is
a
discipline
that
draws
its
legitimizing
theories
from
diverse
intellectual
roots:
sociology,
anthropology,
psychology,
political
science,
economics,
ecological,
physical
and
health
sciences,
urban
geography,
and
the
arts;
as
well
as
from
the
professional
theories
and
practices
of:
architecture,
landscape
sic.
architecture,
planning,
law,
property,
engineering
and
management.
Indeed,
wherever
it
can.
Simplistically,
urban
design
is
a
vast
realm
sandwiched
between
planning
(policy)
and
the
architecture
of
buildings
(physical
construction)
that
creates
city
form.
It
is
the
foundation
for
making
urban
architecture.
It
is
as
much
about
public
space,
as
it
is
about
the
urban
form:
scale,
mass,
height,
density,
and
uses,
that
defines
public
space:
streets,
paths,
parks
and
plazas.
Methods
used
in
urban
design
range
from
pragmatic
to
intuitive,
employing
inclusive
and
exclusive
processes
with
different
attitudes
toward

Assignment
1:
Visual
Sequence
Analysis
1. Based
on
the
district
walk-about
and
reading
each
team
will
identify
a
route
from
a
selected
origin
to
a
destination
as
determined
from
the
walking
tour.
You
may
change,
improve
upon
or
modify
your
first
impression,
or
sequence,
based
on
the
readings.
2. Provide
a
hand-drawn
sketch
plan
for
reference
points
3. Using
the
sketch
plan,
prepare
a
context
diagram
showing
significant
places
(historic,
cultural,
communal,
stopping,
meeting,
relaxing,
eating,
active).
Also
identify
a
potential
"center"
or
important
place
within
your
sequence
and
note,
hierarchy
of
streets
(service,
pedestrian,
festival,
barrier,
arterial,
local
traffic,
bike,
shopping,
dining,
and
entertainment).
Use
diagrammatic
symbols
to
identify
elements
and
features.
4. Identify
on
the
sketch
map
view
points
that
illustrate
a
sequence
that
a
resident
or
visitor
might
experience
as
they
move
along
your
route
from
origin
to
destination.
5. Each
team
member
will
prepare
at
least
3
sequence
thumbnail
sketches
that
illustrate
the
primary
visual
elements
or
cues
(possession,
enclosure,
focal
point,
precincts,
etc.)
that
reinforce
the
experience
of
moving
through
and
interacting
with
the
spaces
formed
by
buildings,
streets
and
open
space.
6. Scan
your
sketches
and
compose
an
11x17
page
that
includes
a
map,
context
diagram,
the
route,
view
points
(numerical),
and
captions
that
explain
the
importance
of
each
view,
including
the
origin
and
destination.

plans
that

underlying
land

regulations,
zoning,

simulated
traffic
movement
demonstrating
interactions
between

Simulations
will
tell
the
story
and
demonstrate
affects
of
existing
traffic
and
transportation
interventions
corridor-wide
and
at
catalyst

locations.
This
model
will
simulate
traffic

Randy is a certified instructor for Vissim, Visum and Vistro software. As a PTV Vision trainer, Randy
has provided instruction on all levels of PTV Vision for transportation engineers and planners
throughout the United States, Canada and Qatar. His expertise includes dynamic traffic assignment,
capacity assessment, roundabout analysis, multi-modal modeling, and traffic impact studies.
Additionally Randy served the role as training manager for PTV Groups North American operations.
Under this role Randy developed the training curriculum for PTV Vistro and assisted the Vistro
software development team with concept development and quality control testing.
Randy has worked for local agencies and departments of transportation on projects throughout the
West. Recently, he developed a multi-resolution modeling approach for the Hillsboro Downtown
Transportation and Accessibility Study using Visum to calibrate demand, run intersection capacity
analyses, and perform a high-level alternatives analysis. He further refined the alternatives using
Vissim to analyze detailed traffic operations, queuing and driver route selection.
