Our research interest spans across energy-efficient development to Building Information Modelling (BIM) in higher education, architecture, and construction. We draw on history, nature and art as fundamental parts of our research, applying an expertise and knowledge in appropriate materials and an eye for optimising natural light and space.
Streetscape design plays a dynamic role in connecting communities and assists in significant development in the social aspect of a community. The research article underlines the importance of social interaction in streetscape design, explicitly highlighting the sustainable aspects of streetscape design that have maximum influence on enhancing social interaction in low-density suburbs.
It was observed that only 35% of the relevant articles discussed social interaction in the streetscape. Our study reveals that the design principles for sustainable social interaction in the streetscape focus on the following three broad aspects –liveability, sustainability, and inclusiveness. The study proposes a checklist support in developing sustainable design solutions to enhance social interaction in low-density suburbs. Finally, the proposed list of design principles was applied to Norlane, a low-density suburb in the City of Greater Geelong, as a case study.
