| Abstract | Precedents, recognized as stimuli in the design process, are rarely the subject of research in the field of urban studies. This article seeks to redress the balance by exploring the design processes of two urban projects. The case studies in question were chosen for their apparent differences: the routine design of a neighborhood centred on a light-rail stop in Portland, Oregon, USA, and the non-routine design of a new commercial and leisure hub in Montpellier, France. Despite these differences, a comparison of the design processes reveals two constants: first, designers in both cases use precedents–both endogenous and exogenous–to guide and evaluate development proposals; and second, precedents are closely linked with local knowledge used to contextualize design propositions. This local knowledge has a prescriptive value in the design process and determines how precedents are used. © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. |
