Abstract:

the intention of this creative project, is to explore the concept of the idea of temporary permanence in architecture. the project is an attempt to put into architectural perspective an understanding, meaning and context of the relative permanence of architecture as a parallel physical and conceptual idea over time. the relationship of the various forces that shape, mold and influence the architectural environment is a major part of the natural evolution of the continuing adaptation to change within our environment. from an architectural and general outlook this means being able to understand the phenomenon of change and respecting its existence. without change the idea of temporary permanence would not exist.the paper is presented in two parts. the first part, consists of the creative project of the paper, presenting the second phase research development and the architectural exploration of the theoretical disposition, temporary permanence. the second part, found in Appendix 1, is the research paper documenting "raw data", personal observation and experience, and examples of site context as a supportive basis for the reasoning of such a disposition.

Abstract:

This thesis develops a creative Project, the "Urban Observatory", situated on a traffic island in the center of Chicago on Wacker Drive and Wabash Avenue along the Chicago River. The aim of the building is to inspire and motivate people to experience the city from a different standpoint and to raise the inhabitant of the city to a different level of perception.The purpose of this study was to explore everyday circumstances and observations of an individual place, the American City and the search for its true genius loci. The main intention is to explore and visualize issues about culturally based differences in behavior and perception of people living in place of 'super scale' and 'high technology' on one side and abandonment and destruction on the other side. The study of the American City and its inhabitants results in an experimental design for an Urban Observatory, an architectural formulation standing in opposition to an architecture of change and fragmentation, an architecture of lost and senseless space. Furthermore the study researches the urban American fabric in practice as well as in theory. The intensive study of the writings of Malcolm Quantrill, Richard Sennett, Toni Hiss and others were the base for developing ideas about how people perceive and react consciously and unconsciously to a specific environment.This helped to identify the frame of the architectural exploration, in order to focus on ideas about: what is architecture of observation in the urban context, and what is the idea of perception in its spatial form?A journal of the design process (sketches, writings), models of varying scale and detail, drawings, photographs, etc. are the working tools to shape the idea of a building and fusing all aspects in a final project.

Abstract:

This proposal is a catalogue of considerable contextual issues that inform the architect about values, environmental qualities, and principles, found within existing building structures of an American downtown. It is the intention of this collection to help the architect considering a broader range of ideas in a new single building to be designed, with the intent of improving foremost the public quality of a future building in the downtown.The main architectural questions embrace the definition of the contextual influences, dimensional and non-dimensional, and the clarification what type of influences remain under the control of the architect.It is my overall premise that buildings in downtown are indeed of "higher quality" when they reflect the surrounding rules, i.e., when the architects, clients and any other powerful participants of the building enterprise know about the additional ideas that have been established around the proposed site. The downtown is often the oldest part of a city where first housing, first trade, growth, and the idea of neighborhood had its roots, where it all began. I specify downtown still as the traditional center of a community, a center, not defined so much geographically or architecturally as it is socially.How can a future best building become a piece of the existing downtown environment as an ideal. Is there such an ideal answer? Or is the downtown itself a conglomerate of random individual and uncompromising Inventions?What is the basic language, the common traits that all buildings in downtown shareMarkus Vogel, May 1997•What parts of a building are of importance in becoming a part of downtown and what reasons can we identify for attaching importance to those parts?What generates form, use and expression in downtown buildings which we consider as being a successful part of the place.Out of these questions, a catalog of influences will be presented, a reference framework of 21 issues, notions, and contextual influences, divided into dimensional and non-dimensional influences. Each of the influences analyses a single aspect out of the pool of qualities of downtown buildings. The consideration of non-dimensional contextual influences without any obvious visual dimensions such as contextual symbolism, questions of aesthetics, and behavioral aspects is of special importance. In defining the references the following set of questions serve as a guideline:A) Why are the notions important and where are they coming from?B) How can we look at them in downtown Indianapolis?C) What are the related suggestions and implications for a design study?The research includes visual, graphical and oral analysis whereby downtown Indianapolis serves as an example and as a resource city. The target groups includes senior students of architecture, architects and the community, or any other public client involved in design decisions or design reviews which supervise new developments in downtown.It is the position of this paper that only a consideration of all contextual influences together in one building may create what utopists could consider an ideal building. Aware of this heavily difficult ideal, an overview on those constraints that are not sufficiently under the control of the architect will be given in order to clarify the dualism between the ideal outcome and realistic possibilities. This proposal is therefore the creation of a methodology which defines questions and issues rather than providing the answers, describing final design implications.In conclusion, I assume that the belief and the application of such a contextual framework is characteristic of those people interested in particular and individualistic design responses rather than those individuals preferring universal and broad rules honoring all kinds of manifestoes that can be found in the pluralistic mishmash of present day's architectural theories.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis establishes the concept of affective form as a means of examining urban design – being the intersection of architecture, planning and landscape – in relation to techniques of governance. Affective form broadly describes a built environment where people are encouraged to amend, or govern, their actions according to particular socio–political ideas. Exploration of the concept’s application as a theoretical tool is undertaken here in order to generate a means of discussing the ethical function of urban design. The emergence of notions of affective form will be located in the eighteenth century, alongside the growing confidence in the ability for humankind to effect social and cultural progress. In a series of examples, stretching throughout the twentieth century, the implicit relation of planning, architectural and landscape form to social effect is discussed. The language, and design models, used to delineate affective form are described, alongside discussion of the level of intentionality apparent in the conceptions of urban form’s social effect. Critique through affective form allows an analysis that brings together the underlying utopian elements of projects – the traces of ideology and sociological theories – with an evaluation of the formal concepts projected. As the second area of investigation, the city of Perth in Western Australia provides a contextual focus for the examination of concepts of affective form. Through a series of appropriations of urban design models a suburban archetype emerged in Perth of a planned, homogenous field of low–rise, single–family, detached dwellings within a gardenesque landscape. The process of appropriation is described as a continuing negotiation between local expectations and the implicit conceptions of affective form within the imported models. Connecting the two primary concerns of the thesis, the ability of form to influence social change and the evolution of Perth’s garden suburb ideal, is the association of that developing garden suburb model with notions of affective form. The associations are outlined through three case studies. The first is an account of the planning of the City of Perth Endowment Lands Project during the 1920s. The second describes the planning and architecture of the athlete’s village built for the VIIIth British Empire and Commonwealth Games held in Perth in 1962. The third study details the development in the 1990s of Joondalup, a satellite city in the Perth metropolitan region. The account of Perth’s garden suburb ideal is intertwined with the consideration of the varying ways in which the conceptualization of affective form has been expressed. Each case study is contextualized by a preceding chapter that discusses the particular conceptions of affective form used in its examination. Thus the main body of the thesis comprises three parts – each associated with a case study, each containing two linked chapters

Abstract:

(résumé en français)

Le diagnostic de Rem Koolhaas sur les métropoles actuelles montre une ville générique, sans fin, sans identité, sans passé, sans rues, la seule activité qui reste est le shopping et la condition « in-transit » devient universelle. À cette analyse manque une partie très importante, la condition biopolitique de la métropole, qui expliquerait plusieurs des caractéristiques de ce Junkspace, comme le fait qu’il contient la possibilité de résistance face au générique.

À la lumière de ce constat et suivant les directions de pensée que Gilles Deleuze et Félix Guattari ouvrent dans Mille Plateaux, cette thèse propose d’identifier les intervalles témoignant de la dimension biopolitique du Junkspace au travers d’une mobilisation de la théorie des agencements comme hypothèse pour la théorie architecturale et urbaine. Le postulat général est que ces intervalles seraient des territoires entre-deux qui fonctionneraient comme des laboratoires d’agencements témoignant d’une pratique architecturale politique redéfinissant le rôle même de l’architecte.

Trois axes de recherche sont déployés. Le premier interroge la pertinence d’une pensée architecturale en termes d’agencements dans le contexte des transformations actuelles des territoires. À la suite d’un croisement avec la pensée de Deleuze et Guattari l’architecture se comprend dans son processus d’agencement et réagencement. Le second axe interroge la dimension biopolitique du Junkspace identifiant les points critiques de ses agencements et évaluant le paradoxe de l’entre-deux. Le troisième axe met à l’épreuve le potentiel des territoires entre-deux de créer des opportunités pour de nouvelles configurations spatiales.

(english abstract)

Rem Koolhaas’s diagnostic of the modern metropolis shows a generic city with no end, no identity, no past, no streets where the only activity remaining is shopping and the « in-transit » condition is becoming universal. An important part is missing from this analysis: the biopolitical condition of the metropolis, that could explain a number of Junkspace’s characteristics, like the fact that it contains the possibility to resist the generic condition.

In the light of this review and in accordance with the philosophical directions that Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari draw in A Thousand Plateaus, this research intends to identify the intervals witnessing the biopolitical dimension of Junkspace by rallying the assemblage theory as hypothesis for the architectural and urban theory. The general postulate is that these intervals are in-between territories functioning as laboratories of assemblages that show a political and resistant architectural practice redefining the very part of the architect.

Three lines of research are deployed. The first one questions the relevance of an architectural assemblage thinking in the context of the current territorial transformations. Operating a crossing with Deleuze and Guattari’s thought, architecture is understood as a process of assembling and re-assembling. The second line of research is questioning the biopolitical dimension of Junkspace identifying the critical points of its assemblages and evaluating the in-between paradox. The third research line is testing the in-between territories potential to create opportunities for new spatial configurations.

The city will seek to demonstrate a cause and effect of modernity. The city is the space, while built and designed, the construction of a project, a vision of the world, built during the second millennium AD. The vision of the emerging world is embodied in modernity, that is, in essence, the freedom of man as a rational subject, which will target, the paradise on earth. But the city is also shaped by modernity, that is, it builds, or is shaped by capital, as its content. When the paradigm of modernity no longer provides answers to the advancement of social and historical forces, when no longer able to provide answers to new questions, when it goes away the credibility and faith in human rationality, he goes into crisis, the crisis also led the city itself And the world as the oikos of Man. Crisis not only ideological, but palpable, both in the de-structuring of the built-in possibility of extinction as the man himself. Built in space, urban development has become the capital of the arm as the concretization of a hegemonic project of class. The city, from town planning process, puts himself at the service of such a project. The other, the faceless masses, understood as the non-urban, as the non-legal, insist on doing this now not as object but as a guy who wants to build their own history. We therefore propose that the planning should leave its false neutrality and driving it to life, oikos, exceeding the individual and re-entering the community and its concrete and symbolic values. We must make a choice, and this just may be in the direction of the other s not. This will not only be an ideological choice, but necessary to the very continuity of life in the city.
A cidade, procuraremos demonstrar, ? causa e efeito da modernidade. A cidade ? o espa?o, ao mesmo tempo constru?do e pensado, da constru??o de um projeto, de uma vis?o de mundo, constru?da ao longo do segundo mil?nio da Era Crist?. A vis?o de mundo da burguesia nascente se consubstancia na modernidade, que ?, em ess?ncia, a liberdade do homem, como sujeito racional, que ter? como meta, o para?so na Terra. Mas tamb?m a cidade ? moldada pela modernidade, ou seja, ela se constr?i, ou ? modelada pelo capital, como o seu conte?do. Entretanto, no momento hist?rico que vivemos est? se dando, pretendemos mostrar, o esgotamento da modernidade. E quando o paradigma da modernidade n?o mais d? respostas ao avan?o das for?as sociais e hist?ricas, quando n?o mais consegue dar respostas ?s novas perguntas, quando se desfaz a credibilidade e a f? na racionalidade humana, ele entra em crise, levando tamb?m ? crise a pr?pria cidade, e o mundo como o oikos do homem. Crise n?o s? ideol?gica, mas palp?vel, tanto na desestrutura??o do espa?o constru?do, como na possibilidade da extin??o do pr?prio homem. No espa?o constru?do, o urbanismo tem se constitu?do como o bra?o do capital, como a concretiza??o de um projeto hegem?nico de classe. A cidade, a partir do processo urban?stico, coloca-se a servi?o de tal projeto. O outro, as massas sem rosto, entendidas como o n?o-urbano, como o n?o-legal, teimam em se fazer presente agora n?o mais como objeto, mas como sujeito que quer construir a pr?pria hist?ria. Propomos, pois, que se deva colocar o urbanismo no centro de um necess?rio debate. De nossa parte assumimos que o urbanismo se reveste de uma falsa neutralidade que deve ser eliminada, e direcionar-se ? vida, ao oikos, ultrapassando o indiv?duo e reentrando na coletividade e seus valores concretos e simb?licos. H? que se fazer uma op??o, e esta s? poder? se dar na dire??o do outro, do n?o. Esta n?o ser? apenas uma op??o ideol?gica, mas necess?ria para a pr?pria continuidade da vida na cidade.

Abstract:

Le concours international pour l'agglomération parisienne qui a eu lieu fin 2008, début 2009 a rassemblé une part importante du champ de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme sur la question de la ville territoire durable. Ce moment spécifique nous offre la possibilité d'étudier les cadres de la pensée aménagiste sur la question des rapports ville-nature et de les mettre en perspective avec les formes urbaines passées ainsi qu'avec les grands courants de pensée en aménagement. Nous commençons par le descriptif de ces rapports tels qu'ils se sont incarnés dans les formes historiques de la ville européenne ainsi que dans les textes théoriques ayant accordé une place spécifique à l'une des déclinaisons possibles de la " nature ". Nous comparons ensuite ces rapports et les représentations de la nature qui les ont motivés avec les utilisations des éléments naturels qui ont été faites dans les projets du Grand Paris. Grâce à un commentaire herméneutique des dossiers de rendu du concours, analysant non seulement les usages des éléments naturels mais aussi les valeurs associées à ceux-ci, comme la matérialité du discours sur la nature, nous identifions les échos et écarts en termes de représentations.

Abstract:

Entre 1910 et 1960, la Roumanie passe d’un pays agricole dominé par l’idéal de l’État-nation à une république socialiste sous le contrôle de l’URSS, tout en ayant traversé le stade de dictature « nationaliste » alliée à l’Allemagne nazie. Cette thèse explore, dans ce contexte, l’évolution des conceptions des dirigeants politiques, des planificateurs et des architectes quant au rôle et aux moyens d’action de l’État dans le domaine du logement aidé. Quelles catégories sociales sont privilégiées pendant les différents régimes politiques qui se succèdent au pouvoir ? Les idéologies officielles de ces régimes façonnent-elles effectivement les politiques publiques, les stratégies d’aménagement urbain et les projets architecturaux ? En somme, comment le politique influe-t-il sur la création de l’espace urbain ? Cette thèse relativise l’idée selon laquelle le mode d’habiter et de concevoir la ville et le logement obéissent, en Roumanie, à des séquences historiques séparées et dépendent pleinement des idéologies des régimes successifs. Elle explore par là-même l’émergence d’une « ville socialiste » faite de ruptures et de continuités avec les périodes précédentes, tout en étant le fruit d’une multiplicité d’acteurs et d’idées divergentes
From 1910 to 1960, Romania turns from an agricultural country dominated by the ideal of a « nation state » into a socialist republic controlled by the USSR, being in between a « nationalist » dictatorship allied to Nazi Germany. In this historical context this paper explores the evolution of the way political leaders, city planners and architects conceived the role played by the state and the tools that it can use in the field of public aids to housing. Which social categories are particularly privileged by these different political regimes? Are official ideologies really embedded in public policies, in city planning strategies and in architectural projects realized during these regimes? Moreover, by which means and to which extent do political discourses shape urban space? This paper puts into perspective the idea that the conceptions regarding the city and housing in Romania follow historical sequences that are completely distinct from each other and that are the product of political ideologies. Thus it investigates the emergence of a “socialist city”, made up of ruptures and of continuities, and produced by a multiplicity of actors and of divergent ideas

Full text

Abstract:

Orienting around Plato's allegory of the cave, this dissertation looks back to earlier mythological and historical roots and forward to the spatial aesthetics of "occupation" and "No Child Left Behind," to trace the enduring connection between philosophies and practices of education and sacrificial journeys of descent and emergence. This thematic work of repetition, birth and death, is not so much knowable as it is the privileged way in which we enact and recognize knowing itself. Education, as a spatial practice and a narrative rehearsal, is a way of situating ourselves and organizing our places. Urban Education, rather than being a beleaguered branch of Education proper, cleaves to the very project of Education, emerging as it does out of cities. This is an examination of the philosophical, architectural, urban, aesthetic, and embodied conditions and strategies by which we learn to remember and forget ourselves.

Abstract:

This research examines access to community resources - services, facilities and amenities that are potentially health promoting - in two New Zealand territorial authorities, and the policy and planning frameworks of each regarding community resources. International research evidence indicates that community resource access is potentially beneficial to health and wellbeing, through creating supportive environments for health, and providing venues to facilitate social connections. Review of the urban design and planning literature indicates that community resource access is strongly influenced by the dominant urban design and planning models. Geographic information systems were used to develop a Census meshblock-based indicator of community resource accessibility (the Community Resource Accessibility Index). Quantitative analysis examined associations of resource access with socio-economic and demographic population patterns. Qualitative analysis, using key informant interviews and document analysis, explored policies on community resource access, and the role of health and wellbeing as a policy goal for each territorial authority. Quantitative analysis revealed the socio-economically wealthier city had higher overall levels of community resource access, but within each city, more deprived areas had higher levels of access. The location of community resources within poorer areas reduces the mobility costs of people within these areas to access such resources, and makes more available the general health benefits of community resources. Qualitative analysis indicated community resources are important components of urban strategies. Historic patterns of community resource development, aggregated city wealth and local policies were important determinants of the level of community resource access. In New Zealand, as will be the case internationally to varying degrees, there is considerable scope for territorial authorities to enhance local health and wellbeing, through direct delivery of community resources, and through collaboration with external agencies to develop community resources that are outside the direct responsibilities of territorial authorities. When these findings are considered in the context of the passage of local government legislation in late 2002, there is growing potential for territorial authorities to use a variety of levers to enhance community resource access, and by implication, health and wellbeing. Health promoters have opportunities to engage with local government and contribute to urban development strategies, for the purposes of enhancing population health and reducing health inequalities.
