Active Frontages
Andrés Duany & Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk
Design building frontages to engage with the street and support street life.
Context
Urban or suburban environments where buildings turn their back to the street.
Problem
Inactive building frontages create dull streetscapes that discourage pedestrian engagement and activity.
Solution
Incorporate transparent facades, entrances, and interesting details on ground floors to promote interaction.
