How do we achieve a sustainable city, building by building, site by site?
What will The Urban morphology of brisbane look like?
'Cities as constructs of either incremental development or planned settlement reflect their
economic, political and social condition. Much development is conceived and executed without
an understanding of the intrinsic urban characteristic that resides in the existing urban form; or
the traces of its urban evolution that have been lost to the physical landscape. The tendency
has been for the urban landscape of the city to morph from a state of cohesion to
fragmentation.'
Architecture’s clear concern was with the design and production of buildings within a
defined site. Planning took responsibility for the general disposition of land uses
through policy formulation and plan making…it became clear that the gap was the
public realm itself! the void between buildings, the streets and spaces which constitute
out everyday experience of urban places. (McGlynn 1994)
