UDA Pattern Books are modeled after those used by builders in the past to establish the basic form of buildings and to provide key architectural elements and details. For residential neighborhoods, these may be quite detailed; more general guidelines are used in commercial and downtown development.
UDA Pattern Books are often a continuation of work begun as an urban design project. Once general consensus has been reached on a master plan, the Pattern Book is a means of implementing it. Therefore, the process engages builders, developers, architects, and real estate professionals in a more technical process. Pattern Books enable all participants to understand, embrace, and build from a shared vision.
