Roslyn Place We Once Live On


In Planning, I agree with Allan Jacobs though that we must embedded esthetical element in all planning. Thus it manifestation by urban design concept. Urban design in a relalistic action from planning. I said that, beause beside we make policy to management our program planning, the implementation should take action and creativity.


Planning must consist a Humanism element, not only fungtional but also esthetical. Human always tend to feel with their sense regarding a space or maybe environment. Its easy to say that human fell comfort and curiosity in a great place at least it must provide comfortable and softly nuance.


Like you see at picture above. There is beautiful place, handsome place, nice place, welcoming place, safe place, and the great place where you might to live. Yes indeed it’s a Roslyn Place in Pittsburg Pensylvania. Roslyn PlaceEllworth avenue, just east of Van Aiken Boulevard. It is easier to find it because the nuance quite different from other (Uniqe). is a neighborhood unit consit few a single family. It located near


Roslyn Place is one of conservation an preservation area since 1914. Roslyn Place is a small, and building and landscape have arranged so that there is enclosure a space. From Ellworth, as its start, pass the metal gate posts that you might or might not notice. To the four –two and one half story, re brick, wood trim, Pitched roofed town houses that end it.


Roslyn Place is about 250 feed or approximate 76 meters long. There are fourteen more dwellings in the other nine thighly grouped buildings that line the narrow street and sidewalk. Each dwelling has a small front yard. The street has been installed by wood block paving that can be slippery in winter. The buildings have a same height, and though that may look alike at the first glace. In fact there are have five architectural variation.


Narrowness, enclosure, and intimacy bring a felling of savery to Roslyn Place. There are no garage and the car have to park onthe street, on both sides, leaving only one narrow traffic lane in the center. When it is easy to see a people, when you almost can,t avoid it. It can be easy to know them. Here all of distance are short. It is only 45 feet or 13,7 meters from a house window or door to a house across the street. And from center of house street to each end is about 120 feet or 36,5 meters; these are distance that permit recognition of face.


In fact, now Roslyn place has changed remarkable little and the atmosphere is same nothing changed. Indeen the Roslyn Place is a Greeat Street We Once Iive On.
