Place-Based Design

Place-Based Design is an approach that focuses on creating spaces tailored to the unique cultural, environmental, and social characteristics of a specific location. It emphasizes understanding the local community, history, and ecology to develop designs that enhance the area's identity and foster connections among people. Rather than applying a generic solution, it seeks to create meaningful, sustainable environments that reflect the values and needs of the community, encouraging a sense of belonging and pride. This can apply to urban planning, architecture, landscape design, and more, ensuring that the final design resonates with its surroundings and inhabitants.
