| dc.description.abstract | The rapid rate of urbanisation (Burdett, Kanai, 2006) today has resulted in extreme changes to the physical fabric of many cities with the only constant being the increasing rate of change. In developing parts of the world urban territories undergoing constant, sudden and drastic changes in topology due to market led planning and gentrification compete with the speed of rapidly growing informal urban settlements. The failure of most current urban planning and design tools are primarily an inability to address processes of change over time and a powerlessness to genuinely incorporate bottom up and emergent urban processes. How does one design for the unplanned? How does one attempt to influence constant change? This is a short introduction to a number of temporal design tools that were developed in an attempt to incorporate complex behaviour into the design of morphological urban territories. Unit 6, a post-graduate design unit from the University of Nottingham, Department of Architecture and the Built Environment, carried out a remote urban and historic study, as well as on site visual street level studies of the city of Jingdezhen. The aim was to develop postgraduate thesis projects and, contribute through critical discourse to the city’s proposed five year plan, which aims to promote urban growth via an attempt to re-invent the city as a cultural centre based upon its historical position as the ‘Ceramic Capital of China’. | |
