FORM

On Thursday the 17^th September, FORM hosted a special presentation by David Sim, Director of Gehl Architects. The presentation for 120 guests at Central Park touched on some of the methodology behind Jan Gehl's work, and referenced some of the findings of the Perth Public Spaces, Public Life study published earlier in the year.

His principle message in creating a 'City for People' was to design the city in relation to the human perspective. Pointing out the grand modernist concepts of Le Corbusier and their function of alienating people from place due to their massive scale, David outlined the principles of '5km/hr architecture'. How do we build a city that is interesting and accessible for the walking - as opposed to the driving - population?
