Urban design concept of the day

Dedicated lanes

Transit needs a dedicated ROW to move efficiently, but sometimes there isn't enough space or budget to build underground or elevated tracks, that's where streetrunning comes in. When you run a line like a tram, lightrail or BRT on the Street it is significantly cheaper to build but slower and less safe with the chance of getting stuck in traffic, hit by a car or by having a car park in front of the vehicle. This can be solved by slightly increasing costs and giving the transit it's own lane and signal priority as if cars can't drive where the transit is, then the transit can move at considerably higher speeds. Basically giving transit a dedicated transit lane on a street makes it cheaper to build but still keeps the trains fast and efficient

BMW CLEVER Concept, 2006. A research vehicle that was part of a program to produce low-emission urban transport. The 3 wheeler had a motorcycle-based natural gas engine and used tilting technology for improved manoeuvrability. CLEVER was an acronym for Compact Low Emission Vehicle for uRban transport.

“Upcycled Collectives”

The project proposes an alternative architecture where construction debris up-cycling and mirco-climate systems work together to achieve architectural resilience in extreme weather conditions. 

This approach argues for a "more is more" ethos; the accumulation of discrete leftover or refused material for its own sake. Reducing waste in landfills, local job sites and advocating for a radical change in our current waste and material supply chains while empowering local communities.

Urban Design Concept of the Day

Redundancy in Transit

Redundancy is a key element to good transit design, always make sure that there are multiple ways to get between locations in a city. if there is only one way to get between two locations, then there is an exponentially higher number of points of failure on a system and it is harder to get between locations as there are fewer options, overallit makes transit less appealing as a method to move about in a city. This is why things like ring lines are so important to the design of transit systems. The lack of redundancy and interconnectivity in our transit systems is why American transit systems lag behind European and East Asian Cities in terms of ridership

Nissan Concept 20-23, 2023. A sporty urban electric concept car designed at Nissan Design Europe (NDE) and unveiled by CEO Makoto Uchida to celebrate studio’s 20 years in London. The simple brief was to design a car which the NDE team would like to drive on the streets of the city where they work.

A full lineup of all the NPCs of the CyberpunkRed game I am GMing for. The cyberpunk world is so interesting and the art challenges it gives is rewarding as an artist.

Especially because my interest in cyberpunk led me to find SolarPunk and Afrofuturism. After looking at all these designs again really makes me want to get the next session ready.
