master planning
Master planning requires the ability to step out of the detail and provide a framework for cohesive future opportunities. There needs to be a strong relationship between elements that are yet to be designed. In effect the master plan should be strong enough to drive the detail design by providing connections, views, access opportunities, edges, nodes, functional relationships, precincts and all the items that can not be seen but critical for the success of the development.
A successful master plan integrates all the required elements into a cohesive whole, where often the complete package relies on the relationship between the individual elements.
