Course Materials

There are two videos associated with this Form-Based Code presentation:
   • Part 1: Building Placement and Massing Standards – 2 hours 3 minutes

Each of the two video pages have the PowerPoint slideshow that was at the presentation, and the “Lookbook” of samples of architectural design.

On this page are all the visual materials for this presentation, including the PowerPoint slideshow and the Lookbook.

Other articles about Form-Based Code and links to other workshops that we’ve had here in Arcata can be found at the Form-Based Code Overview page.

If you are new to this Form-Based Code study session:

Before watching the videos you may want to read the memorandums, familiarize yourself with the Form-Based Code pages, and look through the “Lookbook” photos of apartments. That way, when our Form-Based Code consultant Ben Noble makes a point or refers to one of the pages, you’ll have some awareness of what he is talking about.

(The illustrations and Tables of the Form-Based Code may appear in two locations.)
