Movement and Place: Meet the Team

“Movement and Place recognises that streets are more than just a means of travel; they are also destinations in their own right, intended for a range of activities including pedestrian movement, alfresco dining, street trading and social interaction."

“移动和场所”对你来说意味着什么?

“移动和场所”对每个人的意义都不一样,但目的是一样的,就是改善我们的出行方式以及我们工作、吃饭、睡觉和见面的地方!

什么让你可胜任“移动和场所”评估?

Ratio 给了我一个可以每天都与城市设计师、规划师和工程师一起工作的环境,因此我们不仅彼此了解,还能更好地合作。

“移动和场所”最吸引你的地方是哪里?

可以与很多权威机构和社区利益相关者密切合作,提高我们人口活动中心的安全性、可达性和舒适性。

城市设计师 Ariel Utz Wirnsberger:城市设计/景观设计师

“移动和场所”对你来说意味着什么?

任何交通倡议或交通基础设施都是我们城市环境不可或缺的一部分。“移动和场所”是一种新方法,它承认我们城市的复杂性是由各种社会、基础设施和自然等层面组成,鼓励对未来的交通计划提出更完整的愿景。

什么让你可胜任“移动和场所”评估?

作为一名城市设计师和景观设计师,我拥有从多个角度评估城市环境的知识和工具。“移动和场所”评估是“移动与地点”方法的一部分,为后续关于交通替代方案的讨论奠定了基础。

“移动和场所”最吸引你的地方是哪里?

应对城市挑战应该采取多学科方法。“移动和场所”是可以将不同专业(及“语言”)结合在一起的工具,使工程师、城市设计师、规划师和其他专业人士能够以更有效的方式应对城市挑战。

Senior Associate: Urban Design, Mathew Furness

What does Movement and Place mean to you? Movement and place is about recognising and understanding the range of roles our streets and roads play as corridors of various movement modes and as a key elements of the public realm of our towns and cities.  Movement and place provides a framework to address competing pressures and how they can be balanced based on their existing and future roles and the needs of communities.

Why are you uniquely qualified to make Movement and Place assessments? Because Ratio is multi-disciplinary we are uniquely qualified to consider movement and place from both a traffic and transport perspective as well as from a planning and design angle.  As a planner and urban designer I am particularly focussed on the issues of place and the role of streets as part of an integrated team.

How does Movement and Place primarily interest you? The opportunity it provides to address issues in a holistic way that considers all users of our streets rather than prioritising or focusing primarily on car movement.

Urban Designer / Planner, Rechelle Brookes

What does Movement and Place mean to you? Movement and Place is an approach that sees that movement isn’t just about passing through, it’s how we experience and connect with our neighbourhood and the broader city.

Why are you uniquely qualified to make Movement and Place assessments? Movement and Place is more than just infrastructure. It’s also about education and shifting behaviour patterns. Within the team, I bring an approach that involves the community and soft infrastructure. This compliments the technical aspects to achieve a holistic redesign.

How does Movement and Place primarily interest you? Making public spaces arenas of interaction, and the streets a method of community building.

Transport Planner, Harry Jorgensen

What does Movement and Place mean to you? Movement and place is a framework which allows streets to be addressed by both their value as a place and transport function. This allows us as practitioners to understand how the street currently perform and how it can be envisioned into the future. High streets can often be complex beasts where people want to stay and linger can conflict with a high streets function in moving as may people to and through the area as possible.

Why are you uniquely qualified to make Movement and Place assessments? As an urban planner by qualification who works in transport by trade, it is a framework that attracts me greatly by getting to look at improving the public realm as well as providing transport solutions that look away from solely the car and encompasses a human centred perspective.

How does Movement and Place primarily interest you? The facilitation of either movement or place inherently compete against each other over often scarce public space and poses a difficult question to answer – How can we accommodate the needs of everyone and everything in one space? Tackling this tough question from a multi-disciplinary approach through co-design between different professions is an extremely testing and rewarding challenge.
