Submitted by Shaun Eyring on Thu, 2010-03-11 09:02
Define design excellence. How is it embodied in professional practice? How is it perceived by the public?
Preliminary Design Principles
Six design principles emerged from the rich and varied discussion that took place last year during Designing The Parks Part II at Cavallo Point. They are:
Park planning and design must demonstrate:
• Reverence for place;
• Engagement of all people;
• Expansion beyond traditional boundaries;
• Sustainability;
• Informed decision-making;
• An integrated research, planning, design, and review process.
