Download or read book Arquitectura investigaci n teor a proyecto written by Viviana Schaposnik and published by Nobuko. This book was released on 2021-05-19 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PRÓLOGO Conozco a Viviana desde siempre. Su padre fue medico de nuestra familia, y creo recordar que alguna vez la vi de niña al ir a atendernos con él. La conozco desde hace anos como docente atenta, reflexiva, apasionada. Recientemente, he tenido el placer de premiarla en algún concurso. No me extraña entonces este libro que me pidió prologar. Es un "work-in-progress" de una estudiosa, de una formadora de arquitectos, de alguien que profesa lo que hace. Y ello se traduce casi intencionadamente. Es un libro especial, casi un documento de cátedra, pero como explica de que modo se pensaron proyectos, es de interés de muchos. Es un libro intimista, que explica coma se hizo cada proyecto, y de ese modo ofrece un servicio gratificante: se puede aprender leyéndolo. ¿Y los proyectos?: son del tipo que me resultan importantes para revalidar la arquitectura que, salvo en sus avances tecnológicos, llega al siglo XXI maltrecha, banalizada, elitizada, marginada de los grandes temas mundiales. Revalidarla como ciudad y tejido urbano, como formadora del paisaje y el hábitat, como reformuladora de formas de vida e identidad. Viviana trabaja en su cátedra con proyectos cuestionadores. Y ello vale la pena. Quiero augurar a este libro un merecido suceso. Es una oferta tentadora para estudiar coma se hace arquitectura. Arq. Rubén PESCI Septiembre de 2002

Download or read book Culture Architecture and Design written by Amos Rapoport and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The three basic questions of EBS are (1) What bio-social, psychological, and cultural characteristics of human beings influence which characteristics of the built environment?; (2) What effects do which aspects of which environments have on which groups of people, under what circumstances, and when, why, and how?; and (3) Given this two-way interaction between people and environments, there must be mechanisms that link them. What are these mechanisms?Focusing on answers to these and other questions, "Culture, Architecture, and Design" discusses the relationship between culture, the built environment, and design by showing that the purpose of design is to create environments that suit users and is, therefore, user-oriented. Design must also be based on knowledge of how people and environments interact. Thus, design needs to respond to culture. In discussing (1) the nature and role of Environment-Behavior Studies (EBS); (2) the types of environments; (3) the importance of culture; (4) preference, choice, and design; (5) the nature of culture; (6) the scale of culture; and (7) how to make culture usable, Amos Rapoport states that there needs to be a ?change from designing for one?s own culture to understanding and designing for users? cultures and basing design on research in EBS, anthropology, and other relevant fields. Such changes should transform architecture and design so that it, in fact, does what it claims to do and is supposed to do ? create better (i.e., more supportive) environments.?

Download or read book Cognitive accesibility architecture and the autism spectrum written by Berta Brusilovsky and published by LOS LIBROS DE LA CATARATA. This book was released on 2022-02-07 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text deals fundamentally with design and architecture: the route of spatial recognition, which is the least known —or worked on— within the approaches of the autism spectrum given its difficulty in being synthesized in a paradigm or normative set. The objective is to create a framework to approach the design of environments and buildings, in order to facilitate spatial development in everyday life and, especially, in learning situations. The spatial route, which is the project, creates: - A set of spatial coordinates that liberates the user from the anguish of not recognizing, of not understanding the space in which he is developing. And that offer him the possibility of finding the way, directing him to where he needs or wants to go. - Structure of the exterior and interior, with their corresponding activities placed in a comprenssible way through concepts of organization: functional and sensorial sequence of events. And creation of spaces for group and individual tasks, paying special attention to places of transition and recovery between opposite or different activities, both physical and emotional. - The aspects that are developed in terms of recommendations are synthesized in a construct that brings together the aspects of general, functional, formal and sensory organization of plans, elevations and details. Achieving with these “person-space” adjustments a higher quality of personal life and of its affective and learning environment. - Design components that in the case of autism should be considered in order to seek with the project greater facility of understanding, use and space-emotional development of people from childhood to adult life.

Download or read book Planning with Landscape Green Infrastructure to Build Climate Adapted Cities written by Camila Gomes Sant'Anna and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-01 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume examines how to develop a planning and design process with green infrastructure that creates technical answers to the social and ecological function of the city’s climate change adaptations demands. In this context, it proposes a process that engage the values linked to the art and culture of the place, capable of generating adoption by the population and promoting the right to landscape. Since the nineteenth century, many theoretical and practical experiences have integrated urban and environmental issues, revising the understanding of nature as an object and thinking of nature and culture in conjunction. However, consensus of the methodological strategies needed to guide the development of multi-scale landscape planning and design capable of responding to the climate emergency, heritage, water, biodiversity and social inclusion, among other issues has not been achieved. Green infrastructure has emerged as a tool to link considerations of the planning and design process to examine the impact urban nature can have at a global and a local scale. The book gathers together authors from different parts of the world and disciplines to showcase conceptual thinking, best practices and methodological strategies relating to landscape planning and design with green infrastructure adapted to climate change. The topic of this book is particularly relevant to scholars, practitioners and developers around the world who have an interest in planning and environmental management, landscape architecture, and socio-cultural understandings of landscape.

Es werden aber auch Projekte von Studierenden aus Lateinamerika, Asien und Afrika dokumentiert und analysiert, die diese Methode als Experimentierfeld nutzen, um normative Regeln, die häufig noch heute von der Kolonisierung geprägt sind, in Frage zu stellen.

Download or read book 2G revista internacional de arquitectura written by Roemer van Toorn and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the Republic of Slovenia declaring its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991 Slovenia became an honourable member of the world of late capitalism, and in 2004 a member of the European Union. It would take too long to explain in detail why Slovenia became a successful member of the empire of late capitalism, but what can be said of architecture is that several young architects such as Spela Videcnik and Rok Oman of Ofis arhitekti became familiar with the blurring of the distinctions between art, fashion, high and low culture, design and politics, individualisation, and consumption. Not only Ofis, but other young architects oriented themselves to the West and decided early on in their careers to study architecture in post-Fordist countries like Great Britain, the USA, Holland and Finland, thus making the leap from a Communist welfare state into a late-capitalist state -with the help of their international aesthetics- easier and more promising for Slovenia. From that moment on, a new generation of architects paved the way for Slovenia to move into world capitalism. The work by Ofis compiled in this issue of 2G represents a good example of this new generation of architects from Eastern Europe.
Download or read book Operative Mapping written by Roger Paez and published by Actar. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to explore the critical uses of maps in design, and it introduces the concept of operative mapping as its cornerstone. The concept is rooted in an understanding of mapping as a design tool. Maps don't merely inform; they propose. They don't offer a neutral representation of reality; they construct reality in a particular way. In that sense, cartography is a propositive discipline, and not simply a descriptive one.
