Description:
Organizing a code around specific building types and their precise dimensional requirements is common in form-based codes, often in contrast to using measures such as FAR, height, and density. How does the use of building types work? What are some approaches to integrating them at neighborhood and citywide scales? What are advantages or disadvantages to using less prescriptive measures? Is FAR even necessary in a form-based code?
