Socio-spatial models:1. The urban ground plan as mediator (Heeling)

2. (The production of) Social Space (Lefebvre)

3. Space of flows as dominating spatial organizer/organization (Castells)

4. Network City (Urbanisme de Reseaux – Dupuy)

Motive:Urban design approaches through layers is a trend

It fragments the urban system artificially in sectors without relating those explicitly

It generally does not deal with complexity, specifically with regard to time-space use and the speeding up of society

Faculty of Architecture

Concrete stratified approach

Little interdependency between layers

Substratum

Urban work

Use (functional determination)

Focus on composition

Static idea of time (slow change)

‘Closed’ approach

Page 5: Stratified ontologies of sociospatial urban systems

Faculty of Architecture

Abstract stratified approach

Production of space:

conceiving

perceiving

living

Interacting processes

Focus on everyday life

Relational and relative approach
