"Bigger than a Hamlet Smaller than a Town"

 

Through the creation of an Emergent Process of Village Planning, this study seeks to propose an alternative approach to the design of contemporary Garden Villages. This process embodies the successful elements of a traditional village and seeks to redefine them for a contemporary context. By proposing a series of rules that govern the spatial layout of a village, settlements will be able to form at a locally led level. The creation of this process utilised both computer scripting and physical modelling for testing these rules in an unbiased and instantaneous manner.
