PDF Cities’ Identity Through Architecture and Arts Nabil Mohareb, Alessio Cardaci, Sreetheran Maruthaveeran, Nicola Cavalagli digsell https://lnkd.in/eFyHmycVThis book presents works that book offer a novel interpretation of how today’s urban problems can be tackled through the efficient use of resources and the modeling of solutions to best utilize the available features of cities. The second edition of this book compiles several research papers that present a detailed discussion of the formation and identification of cities and illustrate different case studies that deal with historical areas and buildings as part of preserving cities’ vocabularies and self-identities. By unfolding a stimulating variety of topics in relation to the conservation of culture and identity, the book provides insights into … Read More » https://lnkd.in/ewTW5Gbq

🌆 History of Urbanization: 3700 BC - 2000 AD 🌎In the annals of human history, urbanization holds a pivotal place. From the dawn of civilization in Mesopotamia around 3500 BC, where cities with over 20,000 souls arose, to the sprawling metropolises of today, urban centers have shaped our societies.Architectural innovations, such as the ziggurats of ancient Ur, and meticulous urban planning, exemplified by the grid systems of Roman cities, have left an enduring mark on our built environment.#Architecture #UrbanPlanning #UrbanPlanning #UrbanDesign #History #UrbanizationVia UN-Habitat (United Nations Human Settlements Programme)

KRVIA M.Arch in Architectural and Urban Conservation: Preserving Heritage, Shaping Futures. CAP round 2 for Admissions to First Year, M. Arch. Architectural and Urban Conservation Course for A.Y.2024-25Dates: 23rd to 26th August, 2024The M.Arch in Architectural and Urban Conservation at the Kamla Raheja Vidyanidhi Institute for Architecture and Environmental Studies (KRVIA) is a two-year full-time program designed to address the complexities of conserving urban heritage within dynamic city environments. With 20 seats available, this program offers a rigorous exploration of the relationships between urban form, socio-economic productivity, and the preservation of cultural heritage.As we move into the next three-year cycle (2024-2027), the program will focus on "Localizing SDGs," an initiative aimed at integrating Sustainable Development Goals into the preservation and sustenance of our cities' history and heritage.#KRVIA #MArchConservation #UrbanConservation #ArchitecturalConservation #PostgraduateStudies #HeritagePreservation #SustainableDevelopment #urbanism

Have you read "Adaptive Ecologies: Correlated Systems of Living" yet?In today's dynamic urban landscape, architecture must navigate evolving social and cultural dynamics, calling for open, adaptive, and participatory systems. This publication delves into computational frameworks shaping a time-based poly-scalar urbanism, featuring contributions from esteemed experts like Mark Burry AO, Brett Steele, and others.Highlighting the need for experimentation in urban planning, the book proposes a generative, time-based approach fostering computational urbanism. Led by Dr. Theodore Spyropoulos and his research lab AADRL, the exploration unveils a pattern logic enabling bio-diverse interactions across urban, building, and material scales.Unlike traditional blueprints, the envisioned architecture and urbanism operate as correlated systems, shaped by emergent collective interactions. It's a compelling shift towards a more responsive and inclusive built environment. You can grab your copy at https://lnkd.in/dKa7zNHW#Architecture #Urbanism #Innovation #AdaptiveEcologies

Call for abstracts:City Street 6 Conference in Skopje, Republic of North Macedoniahttps://lnkd.in/eMWfM-zfTrack 1: Streets as Infrastructure for SympatryTrack ChairsJorge Mejía Hernández and Slobodan VelevskiIn his influential introduction to the edited volume "On Streets" (1978), architecture historian Stanford Anderson employed the concept of 'sympatry' from ecological sciences to assess the functionality of streets. In essence, sympatry denotes environments where diverse and potentially conflicting species simultaneously contribute to and utilize vastly different resources, thereby fostering the preservation and enhancement of their habitat.This track invites contributors to scrutinize current calls for inclusivity and diversity in the built environment through the perspective of sympatry. The goal is to assess, based on tangible evidence, the practical benefits (or lack thereof) of human diversity in the creation and use of streets. Building upon Anderson's insights into streets as spaces where reciprocal interactions between users and their environments create a unique urban ecology, the track aims to unveil distinct relational principles at play within the socio-physical environment of actual streetscapes.Potential contributions may include case studies exploring instances where the coexistence of different 'species' of human individuals correlates with the quality of a specific built environment. Additionally, analyses could delve into how a broad spectrum of interests and capabilities, observable in diverse individuals, influences their utilization and provision of resources in specific city areas. The track also welcomes theoretical reflections on expansive approaches to diversity, moving beyond dialectic, binary, or dichotomous modes of interpretation.Keywords: Sympatry, Human Diversity, Resource Utilization, Streets as Infrastructure

Congratulations to doctoral student Ruiqi Yang and CED professor Jessica Fernandez for receiving an award from ASLA-NY, the New York Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects! Yang and Fernandez have received a 2024 Merit Award in Analysis, Planning, Research and Communications for their in-depth analysis of user experiences with urban green spaces at High Line Park in New York City."As our cities grow, it’s imperative that we understand what makes great green spaces," said Yang, who is pursuing a Ph.D. in environmental design. "Our research takes an important step in that direction."Their research utilized a large dataset of 34,060 Tripadvisor reviews to uncover what continuously draws millions of people to the High Line."This empirical knowledge serves as a critical resource for decision-makers and planners, informing future urban revitalization and greenway projects," said Yang. "The findings not only underscore the importance of user-centered design but also offer transferable insights for similar initiatives in other urban contexts, contributing to the broader field of sustainable urban development."This research was performed in collaboration with Dr. Yang Song of Texas A&M University and Dr. Tong Wang of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.#uga #ugaced #landscapearchitecture #landscapedesign #asla #meritaward

My first academic essay on solarpunk urbanism was just published in ENQ: The ARCC Journal for Architectural Research. The journal is open access, so the PDF is free to download/read. In it I discuss solarpunk as an anti-antiutopian practice and how solarpunk can help us to rethink the future of cities.https://lnkd.in/eEkv6_Gc
