Urban Planning and Design Portfolio Atefeh Mortazavi
I am an urban planner with a background in urban design. I am a self-motivated individual seeking to expand my technical knowledge and broaden my subject exposure. Believer of urban designing as a conscious form of art, equally driven and balanced by the science and creativity, holding the power to change the world. I am interested in the issue of Gender Equality and usually looking for methods to fit it in the scope of urban planning and design. As an energetic outgoing person, I strongly believe that communicating with people in the process of a planning project is an essential part of each sustainable works.

Data Collection

‘Responsive Public Space’
‘Responsive Public Space’ - Sergels Torg
1885
1940
2017
Historical Process of changing the context around the square Sergels torg (“Sergel’s Square”) is the most central public square in Stockholm, Sweden, named after 18th-century sculptor Johan Tobias Sergel, whose workshop was once located north of the square. However the existing square is one of the cutting edge design for its era but in some cases the responsiveness of space is not quite appropeiate, therefore a new design wes proposed to improve the space responsiveness. By this mean, increasing the Permeability, Variety, Legibility, Robustness, Visual appropriateness, Richness, and Personalization are main criteria in order to obtain the main goal.
