Dig hidden history

In the urban design design process we are constantly searching and digging for authentic and possibly hidden inspiration. This emerges, for example, by doing historical research and analysis, but also by regular site visits. Try to feel and see
what the DNA of the location is and could be in the future. The time layers and inspiration goes through many layers. It is possible to choose a layer or to make a combination of several layers in the concept development of the urban design. Try to dissect the inspiration and examine it for a potential storyline, design elements, usage possibilities and create a new composition that is timeless, contemporary and flexible. It is important here to imagine the emotions of the future users. How does your composed orchestra effect feelings of comfort, joy, fun and relaxation? Consider to test this with you professional fellows or even better, with a variety of people that are none or the less committed to the area.
