Byplanlægning: arkitektoniske aspekter

The book is organized according to "seven inspirations"--Seven ideas--and presents a collection of theoretical essays and a set of provocative and innovative solutions to design, plan and build urban resilience in uncertain and unpredictable scenarios. Led by the National University of Singapore School of Design and Environment, presents the research by design results of four consecutive years in four different countries (China, Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand) responding to the current challenge of building more resilient cities in front of impacts of climate change, such as coastal and river flooding, water and air pollution, water scarcity, urban heat island effect, aquifer depletion or subsidence. The book brings together the work of highly-reputed academics, professionals and scholars from 20 universities worldwide with the aim of serving as a guide for mitigating and adapting to the effects of climate change, and more specifically to reinstating the environmental qualities of our cities through carbon-neutral or carbon net-positive urban designs and plans.

This publication explores a series of urgent questions addressing architecture's role in the welfare and everyday life of citizens, from the interdisciplinary perspectives of architecture, art history and anthropology. With Denmark as a case, it examines how the spatiality of the welfare system has transformed, since the end of the so-called "golden age of the welfare state" in the early 1970s until today. How have these spatial changes impacted upon the everyday lives and welfare experiences of citizens? What happens when long-standing institutions are restructured, dismantled or displaced elsewhere? How do emerging types of welfare space inform - or become informed by - changed understandings of the role of the welfare system in our everyday lives? Rather than unfolding a singular narrative of loss and nostalgia associated with welfare dismantlement - or one of triumphant humanization and restructuring of modernist planned environments - it describes shifting spatial materializations of welfare and the "good life" at the intersection of these two tendencies, under the influence of a Danish version of the neoliberal turn and other important societal transformations. A rich analytical sequence of drawn visualization supplements the book's textual and photographic descriptions of welfare space transformation.

After 40 years of professional experience developed in three areas of work --City-Territory, Landscape-Public Space and Building--, Batlle i Roig acquires a new commitment and positions itself in the face of the climate emergency, generating a sustainability matrix through which to contextualize your urban projects and urban strategies. At Batlleiroig we have been talking about Landscape and Nature since our foundation in 1981. We are committed to the environment and involved in finding solutions to solve the climate emergency. The motto "Merging City and Nature" serves to bring together our improvement commitments in each of the actions we carry out. We work in three different disciplines: Urbanism, Landscaping and Architecture, trying to be very specialists in each of them but from the essential transversality that is required to develop any intervention. The climate emergency becomes today our main transversality, the one that should guide our actions.

The acclaimed architectural geniuses of the Portuguese world, AIRES MATEUS, have been invited to participate in the Venice Architecture Biennale five times since 2010. This publication introduces the five breathtakingly poetic installations that they have contributed to the world's most renowned architectural event. The Venice Architecture Biennale, one of the most acclaimed events in the world of architecture, is undoubtedly the most prominent of about twenty biennales and triennials devoted to the field worldwide. The international affair brings together leading practitioners from around the world to share knowledge and developments on questions of contemporary relevance. It is a particular distinguishment for the architectural practice AIRES MATEUS to have been invited to participate in this biennale five times. Founded in the 1980s and led by the two brothers Manuel and Francisco Aires Mateus, the practice has gained international recognition for its poetic reinterpretation of architectural traditions in Portugal. Their impact on the current architectural scene in the Portuguese world is unparalleled. This publication, which introduces the five architectural installations contributed to the Venice Biennale by AIRES MATEUS over the past decade, consists of five individual parts. Each of the five books is dedicated to one installation in Venice. They are held together by a vertical slipcase, discretely and beautifully embossed. The breathtaking projects presented in this volume set an outstanding example of how architectural installations reflect space in a sensitive, poetic, and even mathematical way. Every installation is introduced by a short essay, specially written for this publication by philosophers, architects, and an art critic. Contributors include Francisco and Manuel Aires Mateus, Ricardo Carvalho, Nuno Crespo, Sofia Pinto Basto, Paulo Pires do Vale, and Delfim Sardo.

The vanguard dressed in orange with a hoodie underneath is operating a leaf blower. One of his guilty pleasures is to blow a small white plastic bag aimlessly through the pedestrian zone. I can't help being reminded of the film American Beauty-without the beauty but with a lot of noise. When I ask him about the reasoning for his activity he explains to me in his nice local accent that his job is to stir up the filth, that the sweeper can do the rest.«(Peter Bialobrzeski)Über die City DiariesDie Stadt zu Beginn des 21.

I immediately like it and catch sight of the huge apartment complex that has been build for the athletes of the 1984 Winter Olym-pics. Reach Out, that Moroder tune written for the Olympics, starts playing in my head while I sud-denly realize that the parking lot I am looking down at is that very one I had seen days ago in a photo- graph at the Historical Museum. The cars had the typical color of the late 1980s. And they were all wrecks, smashed up by grenades.«(Peter Bialobrzeski)Über die City DiariesDie Stadt zu Beginn des 21.

(English Version below)George Town Diary, 23.-30. August 201827. August, 2018: »On the edge of the historic center, the visitor can imagine what would have happened to old George Town if it hadn't been declared a world heritage site by UNESCO in 2008. (Just take close look at the photographs!). What did happen to old George Town because of that privilege is a constant influx of tourist with a crave for Western-style cafés, serving cappuccino, cake and bagels. It always feels very odd to me that people fly thou-sands of airmiles, producing tons of CO2 to end up in a joint, of which they have plenty at home.«(Peter Bialobrzeski)Über die City DiariesDie Stadt zu Beginn des 21.

The transformations of the Strip--from the fake Wild West to neon signs twenty stories high to "starchitecture"--and how they mirror America itself.

The very human story behind the post-war growth of St. John's and the creation of Churchill Park

This companion investigates the ways in which designers, architects, and planners address ecology through the built environment by integrating ecological ideas and ecological thinking into discussions of urbanism, society, culture, and design.Exploring the innovation of materials, habitats, landscapes, and infrastructures, it furthers novel ecotopian ideas and ways of living, including human-made settings on water, in outer space, and in extreme environments and climatic conditions. Chapters of this extensive collection on ecotopian design are grouped under five different ecological perspectives: design manifestos and ecological theories, anthropocentric transformative design concepts, design connectivity, climatic design, and social design. Contributors provide plausible, sustainable design ideas that promote resiliency, health, and well-being for all living things, while taking our changing lifestyles into consideration. This volume encourages creative thinking in the face of ongoing environmental damage, with a view to making design decisions in the interest of the planet and its inhabitants.With contributions from over 79 expert practitioners, educators, scientists, researchers, and theoreticians, as well as planners, architects, and engineers from the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia, this book engages theory, history, technology, engineering, and science, as well as the human aspects of ecotopian design thinking and its implications for the outlook of the planet.

This new book by Labics, one of Italy's leading architectural firms, is devoted to the country's architecture of public space. Galleries, loggias, porticoes, steps, and courtyards, are the elements that characterize Italy's historic towns and cities-and that make the experience of its public space so intense. Yet the volume does not feature new designs by Labics themselves: rather, Maria Claudia Clemente, Francesco Isidori, and their collaborators set out to explore historic spaces, to analyze their histories and typologies, and to document and describe them through newly taken photographs, plans, and diagrams, treating them as contemporary artifacts. Through the illustration and categorization of thirty-two case studies, The Architecture of Public Space has the ambition to build a general theory on the design of public space; a theory that acts before and independently of language and that is based on the idea that the city is structured through the relationship between architecture and public space. With an essay written by Marco Biraghi, professor of history of contemporary architecture at the Politecnico di Milano.

Towards Territorial Transition presents new spatial strategies, concepts, and approaches for shaping large-scale and transnational developments in architecture and urban design towards decarbonization and ecological transition. The contributions investigate interactions between ecological and resource-related systems and landscapes. They explore potential solutions to address and deal with the dramatic threats posed by climate change, and with the social crisis that may emerge from them. The book introduces six basic terms of territorial transition-Territory, Scale, Transition, Resource, Platform, and Uncertainty-and visualizes them with spatial strategies elaborated at the École nationale supérieure d'architecture Versailles and at Graz University of Technology. Moreover, it presents a selection of transnational projects of territorial transition, such as Luxembourg in Transition (Luxembourg / France), Grand Genève (Switzerland / France) and Top Noordrand (Belgium / Netherlands).

"A cultural, architectural, and historical guide to twenty walks around and through New York, led by the NYT chief architecture critic during the height of COVID-19. As New York came to a standstill in March of 2020, Michael Kimmelman composed an email to a group of architects, historians, writers, engineers, and city planners, and invited them to take him on a walk. As the chief architecture critic for the New York Times, he was no stranger to the city. But during a time of uncertainty and confusion-where being outside seemed safer than staying inside-he hoped that these strolls around town, led by a group of people who could offer innovative ways of thinking about the city, might function as a public good. They would provide distraction, consolation, and joy, not only for himself, but for his readers. This series, which began with a walk down 42nd Street amidst the darkened theaters of Broadway, quickly took on much larger meaning, at a moment when the news and social media were conjecturing about the death of cities. The walks and the accompanying interviews between Michael and his guides together became not only a testament to the city, but a declaration of New York City's resiliency. Interspersed with over one hundred stunning photographs, all taken while the city was shut down, The Walks bears witness to the city's unyielding beauty and inspiration, even in the midst of great trauma. Each route is thoughtfully conveyed for the native New Yorker and visitor alike, guided not only by avenues but the windowed facades of skyscrapers, cornices of townhomes, and the public art to be found throughout the city. Honoring the Mannahattan of the past, when rivers, flora, and fauna covered the island, and through the engineering breakthroughs, design trends, economic booms and busts, waves of immigration, and the weathering of time, here is both a thoughtful and kaleidoscopic portrait of New York City itself, and a promise-to the millions who call it home-that it will endure"--

How do our cities evolve, what forces drive their evolution, and how exactly do they change as a result? Zurich-based architecture firm EM2N has been working on urban transformation processes ever since its establishment in 1997. Initially, the firm's main focus was on the greater Zurich area, yet in recent years they have also developed and realized projects in Berlin, Brussels, and Hamburg. Over time, a diverse body of work has grown, more than half of which consists of conversions of existing buildings, resulting in numerous successes and a few failures, small structures and large-scale complexes, quick decisions and slow processes. What unites the designs, projects, and texts featured in this first monograph on EM2N is a profound interest in the concept of the city as an exciting, contradictory, and above all productive space of human life that the founding partners Mathias Müller and Daniel Niggli have maintained throughout their twenty-five years of collaboration. In EM2N-City Factory they offer a self-critical review of their achievements and also speak about learning processes, personal interests, and conceptual approaches to future tasks in ever-changing cities. This is supplemented with contributions from fellow architects and friends as well as with a wealth of photographs, plans, drawings, and other illustrations.

In Looking for the Voids, Hong Kong-based Swiss architect Géraldine Borio presents findings from more than fifteen years of experimental urban research in Asia. Her research focuses on the interstitial spaces of the built environment, the back and in-between alleys and other territorial buffer zones that are in constant flux and move between the poles of inside-outside, public-private, as well as legal-illegal. The concrete design principles derived from analyzing urban typologies in Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Seoul, and from engaging with residents and their informal appropriation of such semi-private urban spaces, can offer useful tools to architects and urban designers alike.

The mind's eye as a design principle Lucius Burckhardt (1925-2003) outlined his theory of the "smallest possible intervention" back in the early 1980s. The idea of minimal intervention runs through his entire oeuvre, from his critique of urbanism to the science of walking. The "smallest possible intervention" denotes a planning theory that assumes two "views" within landscape design: that which is actually visible and that in our mind's eye. The theory of the minimal intervention means not interfering excessively with the existing landscape, but instead working with the landscape in our minds to develop an aesthetic understanding of the environment. In this book, available for the first time in English, the Swiss sociologist applies this formula to many areas of design. Intellectual distillation of Lucius Burckhardt's theories available for the first time in English Exploration of the relationships between planning and building Rationalization and needs

What knowledge is indispensable for the landscape architect? The answers to this question are as diverse as landscape architecture itself.In this book 50 landscape architects from Europe, North and South America, Asia and Australia each give five responses. These include practitioners and teachers, young start-ups as well as internationally established firms. The publication illustrates the complex and dynamic nature of the discipline, and presents a diverse cross-section of the core expertise of this field. At the same time, it allows the reader to trace the individual attitudes into which geographical conditions, social contexts and political circumstances flow.Each of the 250 statements is presented on a double page and illustrated by a picture.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich Raumwissenschaften, Stadt- und Raumplanung, Note: 1,3, EBZ Business School (ehem. Europäisches Bildungszentrum der Wohnungs- und Immobilienwirtschaft), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Diplomarbeit handelt von Gentrifizierung am Beispiel der Stadt Duisburg. Die Stadt Duisburg gilt als eine der größten deutschen Städte und verzeichnete in den vergangenen Jahren ebenfalls einen Bevölkerungsanstieg. Gerade der Stadtbezirk Mitte sah sich einer höheren Bewohnerzahl gegenüber und umfasst die meisten Einwohner:innen aller Duisburger Stadtbezirke. Aber reicht diese Einwohnerentwicklung aus, um in drei Stadtteilen des Bezirks Duisburg Mitte, Gentrifizierungsprozesse zu finden? Seit einigen Jahren verzeichnen viele deutsche Großstädte einen signifikanten Bevölkerungszuwachs. Die Nachfrage nach innerstädtischem Wohnraum steigt und somit auch die Wohnraumknappheit in Ballungszentren. Errichtungen von Neubauten, Modernisierungsmaßnahmen bei Bestandsimmobilien und Mietpreise in einst günstigen, zentralen Arbeiterstadtteilen ziehen an. Viele dieser Stadtteile entwickeln sich zu interessanten Szeneorten und soziale Verdrängungen werden mit der Zeit sichtbar. Alteingesessene Anwohner:innen sorgen sich vor Aufwertungsprozessen und extremen Mieterhöhungen. An dieser Stelle wird der Begriff Gentrifizierung relevant. Seit einigen Jahren wird der Begriff immer häufiger zum Gegenstand verschiedener Diskussionen, als mediales Schlagwort der Tagespresse oder als politischer Kampfbegriff genutzt und bringt kontroverse Standpunkte mit sich. Zum einen die Standpunkte der Gewinner:innen der Gentrifizierung, also Beispielsweise den Eigentümer:innen und Wohnungsunternehmen, die diesen Prozess als Chance sehen und durch die Aufwertung geringere Leerstandsquoten und höhere Mieten erzielen können. Zum anderen die Standpunkte der Verlierer:innen der Gentrifizierung. Damit sind die Einwohner:innen gemeint, die sich das Leben in aufgewerteten Stadtteilen und modernisierten Wohnungen nicht mehr leisten können und zwangsläufig vertrieben werden. Paradebeispiele für ein gentrifiziertes Gebiet sind der Berliner Stadtteil Prenzlauerberg oder auch das Hamburger Schanzenviertel.
