Урбанизм

Acting as a mirror of the fears and anxieties of the modern individual faced with society's transformations, the city gives shape to the ideal of progress, as well as to the frustrations when this ideal is not realized. Equally problematic and paradoxical, the literary image of the metropolis gravitates between idealisation and demonisation, as demonstrated by the modern novel from the 19th century to the present. In a trajectory that follows not only the topographic and social changes undergone by the city, but also the succession of narrative models that reflect them, this book proposes a historical and critical revision of the literary image of Barcelona, constructed and re-elaborated over the past 150 years.

This is a superbly illustrated exploration of the latest trends and innovations in creating fun, safe, and educational playgrounds. Children's playgrounds form an integral part of the modern urban landscape, providing safe spaces for children to play, learn, and interrelate with each other. But getting the mix between adventure, education, safety, and aesthetics can be challenging. Filled with full-colour photographs, illustrations, and detailed plans, "Playground Spaces" examines a number of innovative solutions created by architects and designers from across the globe.

This monograph discusses the role that ruins play in urban centers in terms of their meaning, testimony, and value, and the opportunities they provide. After an outline of historical and contemporary of approaches, with a special analysis of British and Italian approaches, Elisa Pilia puts forward a methodology for the inves­tigation of the strategic values of such ar­tifacts, and ideas for their potential con­tribution to a sustainable requalification of historic urban cores. The protocol is tested on the historical center of Cagliari, a mid­sized port city on the south­ern coast of the island of Sardinia, Italy, where the remains left by aerial bombardment during the Second World War are still a dramatic part of the controversial European debate on how to reuse ruins.

В монографии анализируется роль руин в современных городах с точки зрения их смыслового наполнения, признания историческим свидетельством и ценностью, а также возможностей, которые они в себе хранят. Автор книги Элиза Пилиа предлагает читателям обзор исторических и современных подходов к исследованию темы городских руин, особенно выделяя британский и итальянский подходы, а затем выдвигает методологию исследования объектов, имеющих стратегическое значение и предлагает идеи касательно использования их потенциала для бережного преобразования исторических районов городов. Эти предложения воплощаются в жизнь в историческом центре Кальяри, портового города на южном побережье острова Сардиния (Италия), где разрушенные здания, оставленные бомбардировками времен Второй мировой войны, по-прежнему являются предметом споров о том, как сегодня следует обходиться с руинами. 

A stone-garden fountain where children are invited to play...a striking landscape created by the "flying floors" of an airport...in the midst of the most crowded, most intense cities and buildings, open spaces provide visual and emotional relief. Twenty exciting examples of the best in urban design, each thoroughly illustrated and documented, make Urban Spaces: Plazas and Squares an invaluable resource for architects, urban planners, and students seeking out the latest trends in public space design.

* Exciting projects by top design firms from around the world
* Innovative, unusual, unexpected projects

Migration from the countryside to cities is a global phenomenon, placing increased population and transport pressures on cities around the world. And yet there are precious few great transit developments, little variety in the ones we do have, only rare examples of development profitability, and consequently, minimal motivation for our industry and our communities.

Urban Transformation is really about providing the critical inspiration to change this situation. It is about restocking our weak architectural portfolio of transit facilities with dynamic new models. It is about recognizing the potential value and longevity of these projects, and making them exceptional rather than forgettable.

The powerful cases in this book remove the excuses for mediocrity and mundane functionality, and show us how to excel. The text introduces an understandable typology of development around transit, and uses that to illustrate different strategies and design techniques. There is a broad range and scale of projects represented—large and small, domestic and global, big markets and modest communities—and each an excellent example of what can be realized.

In the first publication of the URBANITY project, readers can see thoughts of upcoming architects about the city and it’s potential.

Urbanity Twenty Years Later is a long term regional research project which is rediscovering Central European urban values and aiming to find answers for the future of our cities as such.

In the book, readers will find out why guest critic Elia Zenghelis pointed out that “Urbanity Twenty Years Later is going beyond official education where political awareness is treated like a hot potato”.

Research partners were Academy of Fine Arts and Design Bratislava, Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, Berlin Institute of Technology, Czech Technical University in Prague, Technical University of Budapest, University of Ljubljana and Warsaw University of Technology.

An inspirational exploration of utopias and radical approaches to city planning.

Whether created by established architects and artists or new talents, the examples in Utopia Forever are important catalysts for fundamental change and are radically shaping our notions of life in the future. The current projects and concepts from architecture, city planning, urbanism, and art collected here point beyond the restrictions of the factual to unleash the potential of creative visions. This inspiring work explores how current challenges for architecture, mobility, and energy as well as the logistics of food consumption and waste removal can be met. Text features by both architects and theorists give added insight.

A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing.- Oscar Wilde

The cities in which we live today are unfortunately not the cities that we need for a humane and sustainable tomorrow. Societies and politicians are desperately looking for solutions and ideas for the urban areas of the future. That is why the development and discussion of utopias are - next to sustainability - the most current topics in contemporary architecture.

We have learned from the 1960s and 1970s that utopian visions are one of the most important catalysts for fundamental change. Modern wind farms for generating energy, for example, were initially contemplated at that time and are now permanent fixtures in our landscapes.

Utopia Forever is a collection of current projects and concepts from architecture, city planning, urbanism, and art that point beyond the restrictions of the factual to unleash the potential of creative visions. In contrast to the largely ideal-theoretic approaches of the past, today’s utopias take the necessity for societal changes into account. The projects in this book explore how current challenges for architecture, mobility, and energy as well as the logistics of food consumption and waste removal can be met.

Whether created by established architects and artists or new talents, the projects in Utopia Forever are radically shaping our notions of life in the future.

Bringing nature into urban environments has always been a challenge; one of the most spectacular solutions to this problem is the vertical garden. Far more than just an unusual decoration attached to a wall, these gardens are an exciting means of bringing life and greenery to a bleak courtyard, a gray city street or a cold modern building.

Vertical Gardens is the first publication to present a collection of the most important examples of this emerging trend. Not content with projecting gardens and cultivating plants on horizontal terrain, those who create vertical gardens apply the principles of hydroponics (a technique of growing plants in water containing dissolved nutrients) and use ingenious framing systems that allow luxuriant compositions of plant life to colonize the exteriors of buildings.

Overshadowing the traditional band of less versatile climbing plants, the extraordinary array of botanical species that thrive with hydroponic cultivation allows for the creation of a limitless variety of living compositions with different textures, patterns, chromatic effects, and aromas.

The aesthetic result is truly stunning and has attracted the attention of architects and designers such as Jean Nouvel, Renzo Piano, and Andrée Putman who, in collaboration with Patrick Blanc, have added the vertical garden to their design vocabularies. There are also projects where entire buildings have been imagined as biological organisms, or as a landscape, like the apartment building by Edouard François in Montpellier, constructed out of a mix of stone, wood, metal, and plants.

Vertical Gardens explores this phenomenon in thematic sections, which are enriched by the reflections of its most innovative practitioners.

This richly illustrated book is essential reading for all professionals or anyone interested in this fertile new area of design.
