FBC 201: Preparing a Form-Based Code: Design ConsiderationsForm-Based Codes InstituteCincinnati, OH Form-Based Codes 201 gives participants an in-depth understanding of how to guide good urban form through a regulatory framework. It shows how to create form-based codes by drawing upon an area's best urban elements, using these to conceptualize the streets, buildings and blocks that shape public space and community character.
Instructors and participants delve into the basics of urban form, combining lecture and case study with “hands-on” participatory exercises that give practice in the essential tasks of coding.
The sequence of discussion and presentation builds up participants’ knowledge of the elements of urban design at the scale of buildings and building types, streets and street types, the block and the neighborhood. This leads to an exercise to create a vision and an illustrative plan for an area.
Further discussion considers the theory and practice of the regulating plan, with a second exercise to create a regulating plan from the initial vision and illustrative plan.
Instructors discuss unexpected design challenges, and explore design possibilities for greenfield sites, redevelopment areas, already built-out communities and regional plans.
