Regulatory Framework and Urban Development- Focus on FSI (original) (raw)

GIAN, 2020

Abstract

Architecture has throughout its history transgressed several phases related to new realities, primarily those of innovations in technology. At each stage architecture has been re-conceptualized, and changed. We are now at the dawn of a new era where architecture again will have to change in order to contribute towards a global future. To do so it cannot rely on technology alone, partly because technology is resource dependent, and resources are unevenly distributed, partly because sustainability is invariably dependent on social and political acceptance. Given the role of the built environment and urbanization the future is critically hinged on architectural and urban reconceptualization and innovation. Hence a sustainable society will depend on perceptions and attitudes as much as it will on knowledge. Also the focus on participation has increased in recent years. There are several reasons for that, but it has also happened due to new and much faster communication tools. These are easily accessible and have given more people involvement opportunities and communication channels. In urban development we got new Planning and Building Acts, where participation is the focus. Most of these legal obligation activities are based on oral and written dialog, but also other, new ways are existing. This is an exciting field, under constant development and improvement and we will try to show some examples through this platform.
