URBAN  OBSERVATION

Active  observing  of  spaces  from  a  holistic  perspective.

The urban observation service seeks to analyse spaces actively in order to generate adapted actions that are coherent with the environment.

Urban environments are systems that imply multiple components where there are invisible relations that stimulate the five senses and which are, in turn, critical to their design and approach.

In order to be able to understand our environment and act for the benefit of the community, we must analyse the elements that make it up from the point of view of their characteristic interactions. An integrating attitude aimed at an understanding of the uses, their main character and the contexts that define them is therefore necessary. This is what ONN Outside considers to be a holistic view.

Based on urban observation, ONN Outside seeks to achieve intelligent integration of all the variables that form part of a space, using a multi-disciplinary work team. The ad hoc composition of the team enables us to work from different points of view to propose a joint diagnosis when finding a space solution.

 
Areas  of  action.

Thanks to this holistic view philosophy, urban observation is approached from three main areas of action: Society, the setting and economics.

 
Society.

This  area considers people and all related aspects.. Types, habits, origin, their needs and yearnings... Based on transversal aspects such as quality of life, accessibility, diversity, culture...

 
The setting.

The emphasis here is on the general and specific characteristics of accessibility, requirements that are not met,...

On the use of the space itself (commercial, meeting...), flow of people, amenities...

 
On mobility, with a series of specific needs, urban barriers, fixed structures...  

On the resources, such as the use of water, effectiveness, energy efficiency, renewables... Waste management...  

 
Economics.

It considers the cost-profit issue as an essential aspect to develop areas: investment, management, jobs...  

and intangibles as future and present value: well-being, brand...
