Design principles
The previous slideshow finished by exploring theshape and size of spaces, and how shape, scaleand sequence of spaces influences our experienceof a place
There follows a recap on spatial sequence

• Provide access• Create confidence and security• Influence character through their shape, alignment
and width and the use of materials• Indicate a hierarchy of accessibility

Workshop 2 - Brief
This workshop covers:
• Designing a network of paths linking the 4 pointsidentified on the base plan
• Developing a spatial sequence which makes themost of the opportunities and constraints providedby the site

Workshop 2
There are four points marked on the map:
• A is a high point• B is near a river• C is a main entrance point; and• D is access to the allotments

Workshop 2
• First sketch out paths linking all the points in pencil• Adjust the path alignments to reflect topography
and site opportunities• Sketch on spaces using loose pencil shapes – begin
with junctions, viewpoints and other locationswhere spaces are obvious
• Link spaces into a sequence• Rework the paths to suit the spaces, and vice versa
– this is an iterative process

37
Design principles
Why are thresholds important?
• A gateway, a sense of arrival, and an exit• First impressions• Transition between one place and another• Change in character• Need to feel inviting, not intimidating• Provide necessary information, and ‘set people up’
for the woodland• Interim thresholds – there are ‘gateways’ within
the woodland, too

Some suggested design improvements:
• Remove vertical wooden barrier posts, and replacewith stone wall
• Move freestanding sign to sit back against thewoodland edge
• Mow grassland in the immediate entrance space• Re-space trees to make the entrance space seem a
bit larger• Place some south facing seats in the entrance

54
Design principles
Why are edges important?
• They allow one to see into the woodland – orsometimes not (visual ‘access’)
• They can allow access into the woodland itself• Create shelter, ‘mini spaces’• Increase biodiversity• Create a transition between the space and the trees
which influences character• Provide an opportunity for other senses – smell,
touch – to come into play

Workshop 3
• Choose a section of path or paths to develop• Refine the spatial sequence if necessary• Consider the options and design appropriate edges
to the sequence – where do you want permeableboundaries, slot views, shelter, well defined edges?
• Map the edges, with brief notes explaining whydifferent management options have been chosen

Design Concept
A spatial framework that:
• responds to opportunities and constraints; and• meets the objectives of the project
Purpose
![Page 86: Urban Woodland Design - Scottish Forestry · Exercise 8 • Visibility • Seating for parents • Warm, sheltered • Large area to run around in • Approach with anticipation •](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022053009/5f0c72057e708231d435701b/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
86
Design Concept
The design concept combines:
• knowledge of the site,• knowledge of woodlands and natural processes,• the aspirations of the community,• the identified opportunities and the constraints; and• design skills
to produce a framework for detailed design
Method

Exercise 8
What would the key considerations be for siting anddesigning:
• A seating area for the elderly• A toddlers’ play area• A mountain bike trail• A wildflower and butterfly meadow
Think about: location, size, scale, shape, degree ofenclosure, orientation, edge design, other features
Designing for function

Workshop 4
This workshop covers:
• Locating functions within the woodland• Designing the space, access and detailed edge
design for each function, and linking them together
Develop a design concept

94
Workshop 4
• Identify three functions or activities from theopportunities and constraints analysis
• One of the functions should relate to resolving anti-social behaviour
• Decide where to locate the functions or activities inthe woodland
• Design appropriate spaces for them• Organise the spaces so that they work together• Link spaces appropriately as required• Develop detail, including the edge design, for each
space with a specific function
