Imagine walking through a city where every crack in the sidewalk, every forgotten alleyway, and every hidden elevation tells a story more complex and fascinating than any guidebook could ever reveal. Welcome to the world of deep topography, an interdisciplinary methodology for understanding spatial environments through multi-sensory, phenomenological exploration of geographical landscapes. Discover how LEED v4.1 BD+C strategies prioritize pedestrian-friendly designs and green spaces, ensuring cities are functional, culturally rich, and environmentally sustainable. We’ll review profiles of renowned deep topographers and discover how their groundbreaking insights have enriched our understanding of urban environments.
- Explore the key concepts of deep topography and psychogeography and how they relate to urban criticism, historical locations, and connecting people to a city
- Discuss LEED v4.1 BD+C Location and Transportation credits and how they correlate to the experiences of urban occupants’ sense of place and human health
- Describe LEED v4.1 BD+C Sustainable Sites credits and how they correspond to urban occupants’ sense of history and culture, social interaction, and hydrology
