OPTIMIZING SITE POTENTIAL BY UNDERSTANDING THE RELATION BETWEEN PROGRAM, SPATIAL QUALITY AND FINANCIAL RESULTS
During the last decades, the design and planning practice in a country such as the Netherlands has changed tremendously. We work today in a situation where urban projects are of a large scale with a very long time span, an unpredictable future, and an increased complexity of programs. Most important in our opinion, however, is the changing position of the public versus the private parties involved in the design and planning practice. New partnerships between these parties have caused an increase in the use of agreements by private law. In such agreements programmatic ambitions, main spatial qualities, and financial objectives are agreed upon before a design has been made. Pre-design instruments to deal with the relation between these three elements - program, quality, and costs - are rare. In this article we will present the results of the research project Spacemate where the relation between density (program) and spatial qualities (urban form) is revealed. Based on these results a software is currently being developed. The explanation and exploration of the possibilities of this software will be the subject of the final part of this article.
