Through an iterative design process, the aim is to turn design ideas into something that is concrete and deliverable.
There are several design tools that can be used to transform initial design ideas into a more detailed urban design proposition.
These include different types of drawings: site plan, section, elevation, masterplan, etc., and use different graphic techniques in their representation: mapping, sketching, 3D visualisations, etc.
