Thoughts in Progress [Charlie]

Trying to refocus my thoughts about Barra density issues, I've been working through both precedent analysis and conceptual diagrams.

1. Aerial of Barra

2. Aerial of Centro

3. Aerial of East Village

4. Aerial of Quartier Des Arts


5. Aerial of Shi-Men Ting

6. Comparing existing city plans to Terra Encantada

7. Transcribing rules found in existing density models onto Terra Encantada

8. Visualizing the pedestrian relationship with Terra Encantada

9. Visualizing the relationship of density and pedestrian connectivity

10. Visualizing the redensification of a network through infill

After the review in Rio, I'm confident that there truly is a demand for a denser Barra...
