Abstract
ABSTRACT The Netherlands has a strong design tradition in planning for the built environment. After a period of neglect, attention for the role of design studios has resurged, particularly for addressing complex spatial projects. These area-based projects have impacts that cut across local to regional scales, so setting up a design process that addresses these scales and engages a wide range of relevant parties proves helpful for formulating design briefs and identifying potential spatial outcomes. This paper discusses the role of the design studio in the Dutch practice, exploring to what extent it helps in identifying the integrated outcomes desired.
Highlights
In addition to different policy instruments described by Carmona (2018) as key to spatial quality, the design studio can play an important role in setting goals for future spatial developments
This paper looks at the implementation of design studios in complex spatial projects
The aim is to contribute to the existing literature by compiling a conceptual understanding of the strategic potential of design studios in the governance and planning process around complex spatial projects, and how this potential can be effectively pursued
