Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couv. indique : "Allier densité urbaine et développement sain et durable : voilà un défi pour la ville de Hà Nội. Les auteurs de cet ouvrage analysent le cas de Bùi Thi Xuân, quartier planifié par le pouvoir colonial au tournant du XXe siècle, qui, depuis le Đõi Mói, fait l'objet d'une importante densification et d'une forte croissance commerciale. Ils examinent les continuités et les ruptures dans l'évolution de ce quartier et explorent diverses avenues pour en comprendre les caractéristiques, en conserver l'identité, répondre aux aspirations de ses habitants et améliorer la performance bioclimatique, constructive et fonctionnelle de son cadre bâti. Résultat d'un projet de partenariat entre l'Ecole nationale supérieure de génie civil de Hà Nội (Đai Hoc Xây Dung) et l'Université Laval de Québec, cet ouvrage montre quels rôles l'université peut jouer dans un contexte de développement."

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the Bronze Age Aegean written by Eric H. Cline and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 968 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greek Bronze Age, roughly 3000 to 1000 BCE, witnessed the flourishing of the Minoan and Mycenean civilizations, the earliest expansion of trade in the Aegean and wider Mediterranean Sea, the development of artistic techniques in a variety of media, and the evolution of early Greek religious practices and mythology. The period also witnessed a violent conflict in Asia Minor between warring peoples in the region, a conflict commonly believed to be the historical basis for Homer's Trojan War. The Oxford Handbook of the Bronze Age Aegean provides a detailed survey of these fascinating aspects of the period, and many others, in sixty-six newly commissioned articles. Divided into four sections, the handbook begins with Background and Definitions, which contains articles establishing the discipline in its historical, geographical, and chronological settings and in its relation to other disciplines. The second section, Chronology and Geography, contains articles examining the Bronze Age Aegean by chronological period (Early Bronze Age, Middle Bronze Age, Late Bronze Age). Each of the periods are further subdivided geographically, so that individual articles are concerned with Mainland Greece during the Early Bronze Age, Crete during the Early Bronze Age, the Cycladic Islands during the Early Bronze Age, and the same for the Middle Bronze Age, followed by the Late Bronze Age. The third section, Thematic and Specific Topics, includes articles examining thematic topics that cannot be done justice in a strictly chronological/geographical treatment, including religion, state and society, trade, warfare, pottery, writing, and burial customs, as well as specific events, such as the eruption of Santorini and the Trojan War. The fourth section, Specific Sites and Areas, contains articles examining the most important regions and sites in the Bronze Age Aegean, including Mycenae, Tiryns, Pylos, Knossos, Kommos, Rhodes, the northern Aegean, and the Uluburun shipwreck, as well as adjacent areas such as the Levant, Egypt, and the western Mediterranean. Containing new work by an international team of experts, The Oxford Handbook of the Bronze Age Aegean represents the most comprehensive, authoritative, and up-to-date single-volume survey of the field. It will be indispensable for scholars and advanced students alike.

Download or read book Architecture Competitions and the Production of Culture Quality and Knowledge written by Jean-Pierre Chupin and published by Potential Architecture Books. This book was released on 2015-01-26 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Winner of the 2016 Bronze medal in Architecture, Independent Publisher Book Awards] This book comprises a series of 22 case studies by renowned experts and new scholars in the field of architecture competition research. In 2015, it constitutes the most comprehensive survey of the dynamics behind the definition, organization, judging, archiving and publishing of architectural, landscape and urban design competitions in the world. These richly documented contributions revolve around a few questions that can be summarized in a two-fold critical interrogation: How can design competitions - these historical democratic devices, both praised and dreaded by designers - be considered laboratories for the production of environmental design quality, and, ultimately, for the renewing of culture and knowledge? Includes 340 illustrations, bibliographical references and index of over 200 cited competitions. Keywords: Architecture / International competitions / Architectural judgment / Design thinking / Digital archiving (databases) / Architectural publications / Architectural experimentation / Landscape architecture / Urban studies

Download or read book Paris written by Colin Jones and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-04-04 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Roman Emperor Julian, who waxed rhapsodic about Parisian wine and figs, to Henry Miller, who relished its seductive bohemia, Paris has been a perennial source of fascination for 2,000 years. In this definitive and illuminating history, Colin Jones walks us through the city that was a plague-infested charnel house during the Middle Ages, the bloody epicenter of the French Revolution, the muse of nineteenth-century Impressionist painters, and much more. Jones’s masterful narrative is enhanced by numerous photographs and feature boxes—on the Bastille or Josephine Baker, for instance—that complete a colorful and comprehensive portrait of a place that has endured Vikings, Black Death, and the Nazis to emerge as the heart of a resurgent Europe. This is a thrilling companion for history buffs and backpack, or armchair, travelers alike.

Download or read book Gares et quartiers de gares written by Philippe Menerault and published by IFSTTAR/INRETS. This book was released on 2001 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le thème de l'inscription des gares dans le tissu urbain est au cœur de cet ouvrage qui propose une série de "regards croisés" entre disciplines (géographie-urbanisme-architecture), entre thématiques (proximité-connexité ; lieu-nœud) et entre terrains d'analyses (gares lilloises et rennaise pour la France, expériences et démarches d'aménagements aux Pays-Bas, au Japon et en Italie). Deux interrogations, qui unissent l'espace et le temps, traversent ce document : • À l'échelle des quartiers, les grandes opérations liées à l'aménagement des gares semblent faire violence au territoire local ; pourtant, restituées dans le long terme, la continuité des débats sur la planification comme la permanence des pratiques n'attestent-elles pas aussi de certaines formes de "ménagement du territoire" ? • Face à l'extension et à la transformation morphologique et fonctionnelle de la ville, quel peut être le rôle du système de transport ferroviaire et des gares périphériques dans l'organisation urbaine ? Sous l'angle de la connexité, des applications de "l'Urbanisme des réseaux" permettent de revisiter les liens entre gares et quartiers de gares.
