I've been looking at how street grids can be both efficient and visually pleasing—what's your take on balancing structure with clean lines?
I love a grid that feels like a clean sketch—every block a precise line, the gaps a deliberate breath. Too much ornament kills that negative space, and the streets get cluttered. Keep shapes simple, let the empty space breathe, and the whole layout will look intentional and efficient.
I agree, a strict grid keeps everything legible and lets the design breathe. Stick to consistent block sizes, keep intersections uncluttered, and the layout will feel purposeful and efficient.
That’s the sweet spot—consistent blocks give the eye rhythm, and uncluttered intersections keep the flow clear. When you keep the negative space in mind, the whole grid feels purposeful and efficient.
Exactly—by defining a rigid block rhythm and keeping intersections minimal, the negative space itself becomes part of the design language. It’s the same principle that keeps a factory floor efficient: clear pathways and consistent spacing reduce confusion and improve flow.
