Download or read book Arquitectura del paisaje written by Elías Torres Tur and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En este libro se recogen los enunciados de los ejercicios, algunos de los proyectos de estudiantes e imágenes de las clases de la asignatura de ‘Arquitectura del Paisaje’ durante los 22 cursos en los que se impartió como optativa en el 6o año de la carrera. Al final del libro, se adjunta, encontrada recientemente en una caja despistada, una fotocopia del programa de las clases que impartía el profesor de Historia de la Arquitectura José María Sostres en el curso 1962-63. Sostres fue desposeído posteriormente de la asignatura de ‘Arquitectura, Paisaje y Jardinería’ así como de la dirección de la Cátedra Gaudí. Juan Basegoda fue quién ocupó estos dos espacios académicos durante años. Basegoda redujo la asignatura de paisaje a un curso de la Historia de los Jardines. En 1977 estuve enseñando durante un cuatrimestre en la School of Architeture de UCLA (University California Los Angeles) Landscape Architecture junto a Charles W. Moore. A mi regreso y con el apoyo de los profesores Manuel de Solà-Morales y Manuel Ribas le propuse a Oriol Bohigas, por entonces el Director de la ETSAB, impartir para el curso 1977-78 una asignatura destinada a descubrir qué podía ser la enseñanza de la Arquitectura del Paisaje dentro del ámbito de proyectos. Bohigas aceptó. Los espacios públicos y los parques empezaban a formar parte de los encargos profesionales de los arquitectos no funcionarios. Teniendo en cuenta que el país no tenía una tradición significativa ni en la práctica ni en la enseñanza de la Arquitectura del Paisaje, como ocurría en los países anglosajones, en Francia o en Italia, y que solamente alguna escuela municipal enseñaba cómo proyectar jardines, parecía adecuado incorporar esta temática a los trabajos tradicionales de los arquitectos, sin que se fuera a convertir en una especialidad separada del cuerpo de los proyectos arquitectónicos. Una asignatura optativa daba pie a experimentar e intentar aproximarse improvisando a un pequeño mundo nuevo al que se quería tratar como un hecho arquitectónico conocido, al considerar que sus componentes –relieve, agua y vegetación– podían entenderse como elementos de composición convencionales de la arquitectura, si se descubrían sus posibilidades de manipulación; paisaje para arquitectos. Los primeros años se trató de resolver proyectos que estuvieran ligados a problemas conocidos de los espacios públicos de la ciudad. En el grueso de los siguientes cursos, se realizaron trabajos más abstractos y más lúdicos, haciéndonos preguntas inesperadas y a veces absurdas, para desligarse de esa realidad. En los últimos años, quizás ya fuese por tener casi agotadas las ideas, o por ver que los temas de espacio público habían aterrizado en la mayoría de las asignaturas de la ETSAB, o porque un Master y un Doctorado de Paisaje, destinados a la aparición de especialistas del paisajismo (en los que en algo participamos), empezaban su andadura, se volvieron a plantear algunos proyectos urbanos observados desde la experiencia lúdica de los cursos anteriores. Durante los diez primeros años compartí la enseñanza de esta optativa con los arquitectos Jeroni Moner, Cinto Hom, Maya Nuria Cusell y Josep Ma Fort. A ellos va dedicado este librito agradeciéndoles su entusiasmo, sabiduría, paciencia y amistad

Download or read book Under Under written by Jeppe Aagaard Andersen and published by Oro Editions. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under Under is a publication that links the works and thoughts of practitioners, educators, and researchers in the fields of landscape architecture, architecture, urbanism, and the visual arts. This editorial experiment attempts to reveal images and ideas that have not necessarily had the chance to solidify as built projects or in academically rigorous media. The editors must first select work that they believe deserves some form of inquiry, and secondly, they must attempt to build new knowledge by pairing two different bodies of work or perspectives. For this inaugural edition, we chose to open Jeppe Aagaard Andersen's archive. Andersen's influence is not questioned, however, precisely because of his visibility as a practitioner, widely available media usually focuses on his built works. Hanne Bat Finke helps us read his work, also elaborating on his legacy for Danish landscape architecture. Hanne's own experimental production is presented together with Andersen's archival material.
Download or read book How Much House written by Urs Peter Flueckiger and published by Birkhaüser. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The space we live in, reduced to a minimum, has been fascinating us for generations - the writer Thoreau lived in a self-built hut in the forest from 1845 -1847. In 1952, Le Corbusier built a hut at the Côte d'Azur for himself and his wife. Inspired by this, Urs Peter Flückiger, together with his students, built an ecologically and economically sustainable cabin in the Texan prairie. All three projects share the idea of minimal space and its relationship with the surrounding nature. In text, drawings, and photographs, this book analyses the three projects and shows parallels and similarities. Inspired by Tolstoy's story How Much Land Does A Man Need?, the author asks: "How much house does a man need?", thereby providing a pointed contribution to the current discussion on the requirement for housing.

Download or read book The History of Water Management in the Iberian Peninsula written by Ana Duarte Rodrigues and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-18 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume approaches the history of water in the Iberian Peninsula in a novel way, by linking it to the ongoing international debate on water crisis and solutions to overcome the lack of water in the Mediterranean. What water devices were found? What were the models for these devices? How were they distributed in the villas and monastic enclosures? What impact did hydraulic theoretical knowledge have on these water systems, and how could these systems impact on hydraulic technology? Guided by these questions, this book covers the history of water in the most significant cities, the role of water in landscape transformation, the irrigation systems and water devices in gardens and villas, and, lastly, the theoretical and educational background on water management and hydraulics in the Iberian Peninsula between the sixteenth and the nineteenth centuries. Historiography on water management in the territory that is today Spain has highlighted the region’s role as a mediator between the Islamic masters of water and the Christian world. The history of water in Portugal is less known, and it has been taken for granted that is similar to its neighbour. This book compares two countries that have the same historical roots and, therefore, many similar stories, but at the same time, offers insights into particular aspects of each country. It is recommended for scholars and researchers interested in any field of history of the early modern period and of the nineteenth century, as well as general readers interested in studies on the Iberian Peninsula, since it was the role model for many settlements in South America, Asia and Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vernacular architecture represents a great resource that has considerable potential to define principles for sustainable design and contemporary architecture. This publication is the result of an overall aim to produce a valuable tool for analysis regarding vernacular heritage through different assessments, in order to define principles to consider for sustainable development. This was possible through a comprehensive reflection on the principles established and the strategies to recognise in different world contexts. The present publication was the result of an in-depth approach by 46 authors from 12 countries, concerned with the analysis and critical assessment of vernacular heritage and its sustainable perspective. The book presents 8 chapters addressing operational definitions and synopses advances, regarding the main areas of vernacular heritage contribution to sustainable architecture. It also presents 15 chapters and 53 case studies of vernacular and contemporary approaches in all the 5 continents, regarding urban, architectural, technical and constructive strategies and solutions. VERSUS, HERITAGE FOR TOMORROW: Vernacular Knowledge for Sustainable Architecture is the result of a common effort undertaken by the partners ESG | Escola Superior Gallaecia, Portugal, as Project leader; CRAterre | École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Grenoble, France; DIDA | Università degli Studi di Firenze, Italy; DICAAR | Università degli Studi di Cagliari, Italy; and UPV | Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain.

Download or read book The Landscape of Contemporary Infrastructure written by Marcel Smets and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Around the globe the importance of infrastructure as the motor of economic development rising owing to increasing mobility and the need to make urban territories accessible. As a result, infrastructure networks are among the most complex and significant design tasks today. This book investigates how the design of infrastructure actively influences the organization of the inhabited landscape. Works of infrastructure are analyzed as footprints of civilization, as physical presence, as transformers of perception, and as new vessels of collective life. The authors identify these characteristics, together with the conditions that influence them, and suggest a typology of design attitudes as revealed in recent practice around the world. Each chapter is illustrated with key works by some of the world's most inspiring designers, including Vito Acconci, Paul Andreu, Benthem Crouwel, Dietmar Feichtinger, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Terry Farrell, Norman Foster, Nicholas Grimshaw, Antoine Grumbach, Zaha Hadid, Arata Isozaki, Bruno Mader, Maxwan, Montgomery Sisam, OMA, Tonkin Zulaikha Greer, UN Studio, and Zwarts & Jansma. The authors demonstrate how the combined creative potential of architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design is essential to putting into place an efficient, modern infrastructure. The result is an indispensable instrument for everyone involved in the design of infrastructure, and for all observers of the contemporary city. "--
Download or read book Hidden Geographies written by Marko Krevs and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book defines and discusses the term “hidden geographies” in two ways: systematically and by presenting a variety of examples of the research fields and topics concerning hidden geographies, with the aim of stimulating further basic and applied research in this area. While the term is quite rarely used in the scientific literature (more often as a figure of speech than to illustrate or problematize its deeper meaning), we argue that hidden geographies are everywhere and many of them have significant impacts on (other) natural and social phenomena and processes, subsequently triggering changes, for example in landscape, economy, culture, health or quality of life. The introductory section of the book conceptualises hidden geographies and discusses cognitive geography, symbolization of space, and the hidden geographies in mystical literature. Case studies of hidden environmental geographies address soils, air pollution, coastal pollution and the allocation of an astronomical tourism site. Revealing hidden historical and sacred places is illustrated through examples of the visualisation of the subterranean mining landscape, the analysis of the historical road network and trade, border stones and historical spatial boundaries, and the monastic Carthusian space. Hidden urban geographies are discussed in terms of the urban development of an entire city, presenting the role of geography in rescuing architecture, revealing illegal urbanisation, and the quality of habitation in Roma neighbourhoods. Case studies of hidden population geographies shed light on the ageing of rural populations and the impact of spatial-demographic disparities on fertility variations. Discussions of hidden social and economic geographies problematize recent social changes and conflicts in a country, present the implementation of the fourth industrial revolution and borders as hidden obstacles in the organisation of public transport. Hidden geographies are explicitly linked to perceptions and explanations in case studies that address local responses to perceived marginalisation in a city, the solo women travellers’ perceived risk and safety, and hidden geographical contexts of visible post-war landscapes. The book brings such a diversity of views, ideas and examples related to hidden geographies that can serve both to deepen their understanding and their various impacts on our lives and environment, and to attract further cross-disciplinary interest in considering hidden geographies – in research and in our every-day lives.
