Tuesday Precedent & Massing

Intro

  • Massing, Policy, and Planning

  • Volcanic Viewshafts

  • Find ways to build complexity into our programmes

  • Develop programmes and massing to work with development envelopes

  • Next Tuesday first concept design charette to get concepts moving

Lecture

  • Massing involves arragement and composition of building volumes that influence visual and spatial experience

    • simplified arrangement of shapes on site

    • figuring out how to organise site

      • Use Forma or physical blocks

  • additional relaionships

    • street/urban space

    • circulation: how to circulate from city to building and internally

    • morphology

    • shading

    • orientation

  • National Government Policy

    • plans shape the way we approach massing

    • national policy statmenet on urban developemnt

    • medium density residential standards

      • increase density algin with 15 min walkable catchment of city and 10 min of transport that

  • Local policy

    • Unitary Plan

      • driven increases in density

      • organising city into zoning key areas which infers different rules within those zones

      • Read Unitary Plan 101 (on canvas)

        • allowed height on a particular site measured frm bottom of building to top

    • Height variance control

      • establishes heights that can be developed

      • understand slope of your site, what contours are like, heigh is projected off the sloped site from both ends (at 0m +15, at 5m + 15m)

    • Volcanic view shafts

      • protect views to the maunga from specific locations at tamaki

      • some can start from locations on the motorway even not even around site

      • by hvc/vvs will enable to map these views onto your site which cuts into available volume of site

      • Geomaps > Layers > Plans and Places > Unitary Plan management Layers > Overlays > Natural Heritage > regionaly significant volcanic view shafts & overlay contours

      • 13.5m above the ground following contour line is a view shaft going through site (site is the light grey outlines)

      • draw from 2 points to visualise it vertically

      • 2 Thicker dark lines starting from gulf, 1 starting from previous roundabout (now existing start of footpath)

      • If dark line cuts through your site then edge of trianlge volcanic view is cutting from your site causing a step of volume/form for your building

      • These show height limits, understand slope and contours of your site geomaps and topo model

      • Check HVC (Height Variance Control)slide on canvas that shows that data

  • Plan change 120 (coming soon) enables number of houses you can develop in an area so affects residential zones for future

  • maximise use of available envelope for development opportunity

Tutorial

  • Precinct collaboration researched about it now sites become individual not collaborative to other sites

  • Land key actions onto your site

  • Programmes informed by typology research and how they approach it and their context that they operate in and how they

  • Collaging existing plans to scale onto your site

  • What does __ mean to you?

After

  • Read Unitary Plan 101

  • Unitary Plan GIS viewer

  • Site Volume

  • Reorganising Programme

  • Precinct Volume
