Full textAbstract:
Ruins are representative of European values and illustrative of European history and heritage and our aim should be to raise awareness of this heritage in order to create a stronger identification with Europe and a further European integration as well.
While people are living in and around World Heritage sites, their role in heritage processes and management has changed considerably.
Nowadays we must connect the conservation goals with the objective of smart, inclusive and sustainable growth. Local communities must be encouraged to use their local cultural assets as a springboard through a process whereby local actors, are encouraged to assume an active stewardship over the heritage and are empowered develop that heritage in a responsible, profitable and sustainable manner.
In their evocative and fascinating image, ruins must be returned to the contemporary life from which they often appear, instead, dramatically separated.
Interventions on ruins appear difficult and risky, on the boundary line between archaeological and architectural restoration.
The contemporary architectural interventions on the ruin oscillate from conservation to reintegration, up to the absolute extremism consisting in the reconstruction, considered acceptable and suitable only if based on the contemporary design that, from the knowledge of the history, leads to a creative and modern form and image of the architectural work.

Abstract Whether we talk of Stanislavski’s theatre of living, or Meyerhold’s biomechanics (through which the eccentric actor can respond to the most unexpected emotional or physical requests), or Brecht’s theatre of alienation of representation, or psychological theatre, which pays attention to the character’s conduct, inspired by some of the discoveries of American behaviourists, in all these instances there is a certain common essential point, which, of course, is directly reached through nothing other than the false or truthful image of the contemporary man on the living stage. I believe that great achievements in acting are beyond the split between emotion and idea, or the illusory antagonism of conscious and unconscious, intelligence and sensitivity.

Contemporary Serbian society faces increasing social and economical problems as results of social crisis. Such problems reflect on the quality of life of all social groups. Problems of one of the social groups, rural youth, are particularly interesting, specially regarding to specifics of its social status, role they were (un)rightfully given and problems they are facing. The paper is focused on determinating dominant needs, values and aspirations of rural youth, as well as their social potential, willingness to take an active role in social changes. The sample the research was based on consists of young rural population of Sivac, third biggest settlement in the municipality of Kula. The research addresses 107 persons, age from 19 to 30 years, living in Sivac and deals with issues such as their opinions on social environment they are living in, family, spare time, religion, values and needs etc. Theoretical analysis of the problems is followed by empirical data collected by a questionnaire. Specific issues are being analyzed through the prism of dominant social processes and relations. The research was conducted in April 2004.

Full textAbstract:
In the article, I attempted to indicate that in modern communication, i.e. also in social life, ratiomorphism has been appearing. I define it as an unconscious, innate, genetically determined and teleonomically survival-driven cognitive faculties, skills and patterns of behavior present in all living being, including humans.
It cannot be, however, associated only with emotions or irrationalism. In modern communication dominated by the new media, ratiomorphism takes on the form of technoratiomorphism. Therefore, it is obvious that ratiomorphism also appears in the sphere of meaning.
In the pre-internet era, meaning was associated with rationality and universal values such as truth, goodness, and beauty. In the internet era, there has been a turn towards ratiomorphic values: truth is being replaced with acceptance, goodness with utility, and beauty with attractiveness.
Paradoxically, than new strategy for finding and creating meaning is a rational strategy in the contemporary communicational environment.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the shifting values of masculinity and femininity in four Japanese television dramas: At Home Dad (2004), Around 40 (2008), Freeter, Buy a House (2010), and Wonderful Single Life (2012). These corpus data are analyzed using Connell’s concepts of hegemonic masculinity and emphasized femininity. The findings of this study focus on the following: 1. Characters in the four television dramas challenge the dominant discourses of masculinity and femininity by living as freeters, house husbands, and arafos. 2. To criticize hegemonic masculinity and emphasized femininity, these dramas depict the negative aspects of living a rigid lifestyle encompassed by traditional gender roles and feature main characters who show alternative lifestyles of masculinity and femininity. 3. Hegemonic masculinity and emphasized femininity values shadow the emergence of alternative masculinity and femininity in contemporary Japanese society.

Full textAbstract:
With an increasing development and boom of China’s socialist market economy, people’s living standards have been greatly improved and promoted. While conducting economic activities and trading with other countries, we are also actively carrying out cultural exchanges. As a result, people’s traditional ideologies have been impacted to various degrees, and their values have also been changed greatly. This change has a positive and negative impact on the formation of the values of life of young people who are actively thinking and not deeply involved in the world. The life values of contemporary adolescents are becoming more diversified, and there has been a deteriorating trend, especially when it comes to dealing with the issue of “the relationship between dedication and demand”.This paper mainly expounds the characteristics of teenagers’ life values, and puts forward relevant scientific and reasonable educational countermeasures: in view of the current situation of teenagers’ life values, we should carry out value education for contemporary teenagers, strive to establish a correct orientation of public opinion, and hope to have a certain reference and reference for the formation of teenagers’ life values in our country.

Roman Stoicism is typically read as a therapeutic philosophy that is centered around the care of the self and presented in the form of a self-help manual. Closer examination reveals a less reassuring and more challenging side to the school’s teachings, one that provokes ethical reflection at the limits of the self’s intactness and coherence. The self is less an object of inquiry than the by-product of a complex set of experiences in the face of nature and society and across any number of flashpoints, from one’s own or others’ beliefs, actions, values, and relationships to the difficulty of sizing up one’s place in the universe. The pressures of natural and ethical reflection put intuitive conceptions of the self at considerable risk. The Roman Stoic self proves to be vulnerable, contingent, unbounded, relational, and opaque—in short, a rich matrix of problems that point beyond the individual self and anticipate contemporary critiques of the self.

Geodiversity phenomena can equally interest tourists as well as a living world inside ecotourism. Volcanic relief, mountains, fluvial relieves, caves and sand dunes attract more and more tourists. Tourism market shows a tendency of an increased number of tourists with new interests. That is a real opportunity to present the values of geodiversity inside the tourist offer. Geodiversity based tourism - geotourism should not be observed outside ecotourism since it has a strongly emphasized educational function and it serves a better understanding and protection of natural heritage. Such characteristics of geotourism should be in tight connection with sustainable development, i.e. sustainable tourism.

Full textAbstract:
Family as a concept is flexible, thus prone to changes concerning the needs of the modern industrial society. Roles within the family are structured following the contemporary conditions, following the emancipation of women, reduction in the male workforce due to mechanization, and increased presence of grandparents as caregivers, due to increased life expectancy. The main objective of this scientific work is to analyse relevant standpoints regarding the function and sustainability of family, while taking into account external influences such as economic status, political situation, as well as societal norms and values. The identification of these challenges helps us determine the extent to which family structure and function is able to adopt to rapid globalisation that is taking place. Globalization is opening many doors, giving us freedom of choice in terms of family structure and roles, while simultaneously forcing us to find our identity through labeling ourselves as “this”, “that”, or “the next best alternative”. Higher living standards constrain our possibility of choice, as fewer children mean less economic burden, but more attention is spent on them. The boomerang effect of childhood is what emphasizes the importance of a stable home.

Full textAbstract:
This creative project is a study of cultural awareness in architecture. The hypothesis states that architecture is one of many cultural manifestations in a society. One seeking contemporary architecture in a society should explore the idea of contemporary culture in that society. This study aims to point out the relationship of living patterns and living spaces (culture and architecture). Living patterns are influenced by their own cultures and, at the same time, the characteristics of living spaces reflect the aspects of living patterns. To explore contemporary living spaces, cultural issues must be considered.However, culture is dynamic. It is changed by reasons of time, place and people. Even though the tradional cultures in a society continuingly permeate to the next generations, some of them disappear as time, place or people change. Therefore, to study the issue of culture in contemporary society, traditional and new cultures are reckoned with as contemporary families adapt both cultures into their lifestyles.While Thai society has maintained its own unique culture, recently globalization has brought influences of Western ideas into Thailand. These influences are effecting Thai culture and bearing on how housing responds to a changing society.The work is divided into two parts, research and design. To explore the deeper meaning of contemporary living spaces, the research focuses on the importannce of culture to the characteristics of living spaces. It analyzes cultural and social changes that have influenced contemporary Thai families. This cultural analyses confirms that the meaning and design of contemporary living spaces are directly influenced by cultural adjustments.To support the hypothesis and research, a housing project for contemporary Thai families is proposed. It is a schematic design that incorporates the cultural analyses into the design process. The design is a model for organizing cultural information into the design of living spaces.Department of Architecture

Jovaišienė, Diana. "The Representation of National Identity in Recent Literary Texts by Lithuanian Writers Living Abroad: Irena Mačiulytė-Guilford, "Glėbys", Antanas Šileika, "Bronzinė moteris" and "Pogrindis", and Valdas Papievis "Vienos vasaros eimigrantai" and "Eiti"."

Full textAbstract:
The goal of this work is to analyse how identity is represented in recent novels by writers of Lithuanian origin living outside the homeland, using a methodology that combines literary, cultural and sociological approaches. With renewed independence in 1990, emigration has strongly increased, as have the number of literary works that refer to problems of identity. The object of the analysis is five novels by three writers: Irena Mačiulyte-Guilford‘s Glebys, 2003 ( The Embrace, l999), Antanas Šileika‘s Bronzinė moteris, 2009 ( Woman in Bronze, 2004) and Pogrindis, 2012 ( Underground, 2011), and Valdas Papievis‘ Vienos vasaros emigrantai, 2009 and Eiti, 2010. Papievis, who grew up in Soviet Lithuania, has continued writing in Lithuanian since settling in Paris in 1995, while the other two writers are second-generation Canadian Lithuanians writing in English. The protagonists of all the novels live between more than one identity. To understand their problems, in addition to postcolonial concepts like mimicry, hybridity and the in-between, and the narratological theory of possible worlds, sociological approaches to identity are also used: the imaginary community, identity negotiations, possible selves and social and collective memory. These help distinguish similarities and differences among the novels; their protagonists may be trapped by historical forces (Pogrindis) or feel they can never reconcile confronting identities (Glebys), or may find a creative solution (Bronzinė...

Full textAbstract:
This edited volume provides a multifaceted investigation of the dynamic interrelations between visual arts and urbanization in contemporary Mainland China with a focus on unseen representations and urban interventions brought about by the transformations of the urban space and the various problems associated with it. Through a wide range of illuminating case studies, the authors demonstrate how innovative artistic and creative practices initiated by various stakeholders not only raise critical awareness on socio-political issues of Chinese urbanization but also actively reshape the urban living spaces. The formation of new collaborations, agencies, aesthetics and cultural production sites facilitate diverse forms of cultural activism as they challenge the dominant ways of interpreting social changes and encourage civic participation in the production of alternative meanings in and of the city. Their significance lies in their potential to question current values and power structures as well as to foster new subjectivities for disparate individuals and social groups.

Full textAbstract:
Within the Yarra River catchment area nestles the valley of Steels Creek, a small shallow basin in the lee of Kinglake plateau and the Great Dividing Range. The escarpment walls of the range drop in a series of ridges to the valley and form the south-eastern boundary of the Kinglake National Park. The gentle undulations that flow out from the valley stretch into the productive and picturesque landscape of Victoria’s famous wine growing district, the Yarra Valley.
Late on the afternoon of 7 February 2009, the day that came to be known as Black Saturday, the Kinglake plateau carried a massive conflagration down the fringing ranges into the Steels Creek community. Ten people perished and 67 dwellings were razed in the firestorm. In the wake of the fires, the devastated residents of the valley began the long task of grieving, repairing, rebuilding or moving on while redefining themselves and their community.
In Living with Fire, historians Tom Griffiths and Christine Hansen trace both the history of fire in the region and the human history of the Steels Creek valley in a series of essays which examine the relationship between people and place. These essays are interspersed with four interludes compiled from material produced by the community. In the immediate aftermath of the fire many people sought to express their grief, shock, sadness and relief in artwork. Some painted or wrote poetry, while others collected the burnt remains of past treasures from which they made new objects. These expressions, supplemented by historical archives and the essays they stand beside, offer a sensory and holistic window into the community’s contemporary and historical experiences.
A deeply moving book, Living with Fire brings to life the stories of one community’s experience with fire, offering a way to understand the past, and in doing so, prepare for the future.

Full textAbstract:
Animals seem to be everywhere in contemporary literature, visual art, and performance. But though writers, artists, and performers are now engaging more and more with ideas about animals, and even with actual living animals, their aesthetic practice continues to be interpreted within a primarily human frame of reference—with art itself being understood as an exclusively human endeavor. The critical wager in this book is that the aesthetic impulse itself is profoundly trans-species. Rohman suggests that if we understand artistic and performative impulses themselves as part of our evolutionary inheritance—as that which we borrow, in some sense, from animals and the natural world—the ways we experience, theorize, and value literary, visual, and performance art fundamentally shift. Although other arguments suggest that certain modes of aesthetic expression are closely linked to animality, Rohman argues that the aesthetic is animal, showing how animality and actual animals are at the center of the aesthetic practices of crucial modernist, contemporary, and avant-garde artists. Exploring the implications of the shift from an anthropocentric to a bioaesthetic conception of art, this book turns toward animals as artistic progenitors in a range of case studies that spans print texts, visual art, dance, music, and theatrical performance. Drawing on the ideas of theorists such as Elizabeth Grosz, Jane Bennett, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, Jacques Derrida, Una Chaudhuri, Timothy Morton, and Cary Wolfe, Rohman articulates a deep coincidence of the human and animal elaboration of life forces in aesthetic practices.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter encourages readers to embrace the task of “prophetic preaching”—defined both as preaching that challenges the status quo, and as proclamation that mediates for contemporary believers dimensions of truth-telling and identity formation performed by the prophetic books of the Hebrew Scriptures. The authors begin by debunking several myths related to prophetic preaching, positing that such preaching ultimately offers hope in the midst of a discordant and unjust world. They show how the very prophetic books that are too often avoided in the pulpit offer themes and perspectives that are essential for living as people of God today. Next they address challenges involved in trying to bridge ideational and ethical differences between the social values and theologies of ancient Israel and those of contemporary Christian congregations. Finally, they illustrate how the biblical prophetic literature may be helpful for advancing broader aims of Christian homiletics.

THIS CHAPTER SETS the foundation necessary for appreciating Urfalli Suryani religious emotionality through essential elements in the local musical experience. It draws on the history of the Syrian Orthodox Church, on Syriac liturgy and theology, and on living Lenten practices rooted in early asceticism, to underscore survival. The chapter locates the Syriac chant of Edessa not only historically in relation to early Christianity but also in the contemporary context of Aleppo and its social space. Through the example of a chant that accompanies daily bowing, the narrative situates living practice simultaneously in the church’s early roots and in its contemporary urban surrounding. Here, the body, and its (in)significance, will emerge as essential to local forms of knowledge, value, and musicality in Hayy al-Suryan, to which the next chapters will turn.

AbstractThe year is now 2021 and more than half of the world’s population lives in urban areas. But while some are privileged enough to turn a blind eye to the realities of our contemporary world, over a billion are currently living in urban poverty, suffering the consequences of poor housing quality and lack of safe and readily accessible goods and services. Needless to say, all of us are also at the mercy of our unsustainable ways of life. Amidst the dysphoria, however, we must remind ourselves that cities always have been places of cultural and social innovation. From bygone settlements to Arcosanti—an experimental city built on the values of community and environmental accountability—precedents about the alternative are aplenty. What will the equitable and regenerative city of tomorrow look and feel like? How will it function? And how will it succeed? Through developing an understanding of topias and their symbiotic relationship with humanity, this chapter proposes both a vision and an approach towards designing cities suited to twenty-first-century narratives.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn the context of contemporary environment and society, the architectural form optimization based on Environmental performance-driven design is a method by using environmental performance data to optimize the architectural form. Its value lies in dealing with the interaction between architecture and environment, and developing architecture with environmental sustainability. This thesis summarizes the similarities and differences between performance-driven form design and traditional bionic form design. The traditional bionic design separates the bionic object from its complex living environment, and its simple imitation tends to fall into the local rather than the global optimum. However, performance-driven design is different from bionic design. It advocates environmental factors as a driving factor rather than a confrontational factor. It is a systematic global optimal method for studying architectural form. This paper puts forward the specific architectural form optimization simulation process based on the performance-driven thought. Taking the multilayer parking building design of the riparian zone on the south bank of Chongqing as an example, the parametric design method is used to obtain architectural optimization form adapted to the environment.

This chapter addresses the processes at work in Confucian cultivation of manners, especially as this bears on our willingness to be polite to some people while reluctant to be polite to others. It focuses on Confucian attention to external behavior as a resource for shaping internal dispositions and attitudes. It likewise attends to the social dynamics of practicing manners, the ways in which civil behaviors can encourage answering like behaviors from others, steering social environments toward greater sociality. The chapter additionally addresses how stereotyping judgments of others can depress efforts to be civil and considers manners as a resource for inculcating greater humility in our evaluations of others and as a behavioral standard that can reduce the effects of stereotyping judgments on others. The Confucian account is coupled throughout with material drawn from contemporary social psychological studies.

Full textAbstract:
The non-formal education is a constantly evolving concept in all areas of education. Religious education makes no exception, and, therefore, the principles of non-formal education are to be applied also in the activities organized by the Church with the children and young people. This article focuses on presenting the most important principles of the non-formal activities and the value brought by these activities to the development of young people. Also, the article will present relevant examples of successful non-formal activities already applied within the Church. In a progressively modern world, the need for adapted tools increases. Thus, the tools in education must also be adapted to the requirements of the modern world, so that the new generation can receive and apply voluntarily its principles. For the Church, this does not mean that the religious principles have to change. It only means that the tools and instruments have to be adapted and used properly so that the new generation can embrace the Word of God and to apply the Christian principles of living in their current way of life.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this paper is to present the dimension of the Eucharistic education in two directions: first, to determine that the Eucharist as the chief factor of Christian Education as viewed by some Orthodox authors; second, to revel the position of some Holy Fathers, concerning the importance of the Holy Eucharist for education. The introduction points out that the pivot of Christian upbringing is man’s incorporation into the living Body of Christ in the sacrament of the Holy communion trough faith, communion, and grace of the Holy Spirit. Christian authors emphasize the fact that the goal of Eucharistic upbringing is achieving on over all alteration of the person which means transformation of the human mind, heart and will. The most important part of this process is the alteration of the heart as viewed by the Holy Fathers quoted in this paper, namely, St. John Chrysostom, St. Gregory Palamas and St. John Damascene, St. John of Kronstadt . The inference from their writings synthesizes the chief aspects of Eucharistic education which are: reaching „deification", acquiring the Holy Spirit as well as changing one’s life trough thanksgiving, repentance for wrongdoing and love for God and the fellowmen.

Full textAbstract:
The principle of respect for autonomy is undeniably afforded particular salience in Western bioethics. At least part of the reason for this is that autonomy is often understood to have a central role in the good life. In this chapter, the author argues that autonomy does not have merely instrumental prudential value; instead, autonomy is at least partly constitutive of well-being, since there is a special value in living a life that is one’s own. He defends a well-known argument that speaks in favour of this conclusion, before going on to consider the value of different elements of autonomy, according to the framework adopted in this book. The author concludes by assessing how autonomy can conflict with other central values in bioethics, and how the claim that autonomy has significant prudential value has important implications for how we should understand the concept of beneficence in bioethics.

Full textAbstract:
Following Ingarden’s thoughts on the meaning of responsibility, this paper presents an analysis in the domain of values, without limiting it to ethics. Ingarden’s concept of responsibility is deeply rooted in the legal tradition and therefore establishes a mostly juridical and penal understanding of responsibility. I also refer to Stein’s research, which coincides with Ingarden’s thought and eventually provides a basis for responsibility. In her polemics with Scheler, Stein postulated accessing values through feeling in terms of a “living body.” In other words, Stein agrees with Scheler about the correlate of feeling, however, she opposes the personality account in Scheler and underlines the key role of the disposition of the living body and even the “personal touch,” one which enriches the concept of intentionality. Responsibility is crucial for the individual, for his or her development and life, as I will try to outline in this paper.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines how internet forums such as Facebook can be used in creating and spreading misleading stories and stimulating fear and panic. With the example of the Czech society, the author analyses various web forums that are based on anti-LGBT rights and anti-feminist ideologies, promoting these as threats to nuclear families and traditional gender norms. The text shows the paradoxical portrayal of LGBT activists as, on the one hand, freaks living on the fringe of society, not much more than a laughing stock, and, on the other hand, as a threat with the potential power to destroy traditional values in Czech society.

Full textAbstract:
Pursuit of happiness is a highly valued human ambition that seems impossible to achieve in modern society. Ancient Greek philosophers, especially Aristotle’s concept of eudaimonia, present a theoretical starting point for defining happiness and bringing it firmly into relation with values. Philosopher Herbert Marcuse provides a valuable analysis of modern industrialized society explaining man’s loss of freedom in exchange for comfort and the self-perpetuating mechanism of consumerism that keeps people under willingly oppressed by imposing false needs. Consumerism also causes a distortion of people’s values and alienates them from their true values causing them psychological damage. Using Dr. Melanie Joy’s analysis of the psychological importance of living in accordance with one’s values and the distortion of values as a manipulation tactic common to different systems of oppression (racism, sexism, speciesism) we will identify two prerequisite conditions for achieving happiness: freedom and the alignment of values and behavior. Key words: happiness, freedom, values, false needs, consumerism

Full textAbstract:
The universal global picture of the world is full of pictures of the world of many nations, related to a common value background. Global values are essentially anthropocentric. They are related to man, his life, security, traditions, faith, rights and freedoms. The picture of the Ukrainian world is affected by it’s psychotype: a peaceful emotional introvert, an individualist who evaluates events and people through the criterion of truth known as "humane and inhumane." Tolerance, which does not accept the extremes of universal love, occupies an important place in the aestheticized picture of the Ukrainian world, because everything must be in harmony and balance. Happiness for Ukrainians is to have their own fenced home, with a farm, with everything living and non-living that is there; to have a carefree life on one's own land; to live in harmony with the demands of one's own nature. Also to adequately perceive oneself and one's own capabilities. Those nations that are unable to adequately assess themselves are unhappy and therefore aggressive. Being aggressive extroverts, thay want to impose their own model of worldview on everyone else. Having experienced more than one stressor in history, Ukrainians came out of various trials and became even more hardened. Key words: happiness, Ukrainians, worldview, psychotype, values

Full textAbstract:
The 20th century witnessed changes which altered radically the world hitherto functioning in the same way for centuries. The pluralist global culture is characterized by rapid and unpredictable changeability involving continuous challenging of traditional values. Architecture is no exception to this rule, including religious architecture, which best reflects the spirituality of its time. Revaluation which took place in the last century resulted in the need of a new interpretation of the concepts of the sacred and the profane, as they have lost their clarity and significance. In consequence of the conflict between the dogmatic understanding of stability on the one hand and the modern culture, science, thought and world interpretation as well as the pace and style of living on the other, the need has emerged to build new places of cult that embrace the Zeitgeist of today – stripped of almost all ideology, visually modest, devoid in their décor of intense expression or a large number of stimuli. There are also temples which invite into the same space people of different religions as well as people who are seeking faith or are doubtful, places focused on catering for spiritual or contemplation needs, but also offering intellectual rest.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – to identify the prerequisites for organizational changes of the emerging health insurance system in Vietnam. Research methodology - comparative analysis, statistical analysis, case study. Findings – the obligatory health insurance in Vietnam performs its functions only partially. There is still high level of out-of-pocket spending on medical services. First we identified one of the most important challenges to the health insurance system in Vietnam, namely, the population aging. Secondly, we identified and analyzed and the prerequisites (the pre-existing conditions), which can become the basis for the reorganization of the existing health insurance system without major reforms: (1) the cultural values of Asian society, which allow to build a community-based type model of living for the elderly on the basis of “equal with equal”; (2) technological advances in medicine that extend the healthy life of the elderly, (3) trust in traditional medicine, which allows widen the coverage of the poorest “elderly households”. Practical implications - the results of the study require attention from the government and insurance providers when rethinking of organizing process for mandatory medical insurance. Originality/Value – we have identified the ways of possible organizational changes for the health insurance system, making the most of the existing prerequisites. This can help to get closer to the goal of full coverage with health insurance services while achieving a positive social effect. The identified internal reserves make it possible to imple- ment organizational changes without major reforms of the established health insurance system. No studies have been conducted in this perspective.

Full textAbstract:
Understanding the effects of a metropolis' changes in scale - the rate of growth and its speed - rather than pursuing the search for optimal city size, is mandatory. The New Urban Agenda discussed performance dimensions of the contemporary city’s functioning mode, knowing that place quality derives from a mutual effect with the society that uses it. However, our research focuses on how city performance dimensions can be measured to establish the values of the metropolitan form that are capable of endowing metropolitan projects with meaning. The Metropolitan Paradigm of inter-scalar connection and the Metropolitan Architecture Project Hybrid Typology are the references to measure the metropolis’ performance. The Metropolitan Paradigm concerns the five city dimensions: physical, economic, energetic, social and governance. In particular, the aim of the paper is to study the physical metropolitan framework and its impact on the lives of metropolitan inhabitants, socio-economic flows and the meaning of the concept of "environment" today. The city is still analysed as a spatial phenomenon represented by data/quantities related to space. Nevertheless, the value of form plays a fundamental role within the Metropolitan Discipline at all scales, as spatial relationships within metropolitan settlements are increasingly not metric but relational. In conclusion, we study the connection between history and geography, environmental issues, the Metropolitan Structural Paradigm, and the new Public Realm heterogeneous elements to represent the metropolitan quality and living-related values that constitute the Metropolitan Democracy’s opportunity.

Full textAbstract:
Since the beginning of the 21st century, many regions in the world have faced with economic volatility, political instability, environmental degradation, cultural wars and various cyber threats, which only intensified during the coronavirus pandemic. The reason behind these crises is a fragmented character of human interactions that are motivated by self or local interest, despite the fact that we are becoming increasingly interconnected in complex global networks. From a systemic perspective, human interactions in contemporary society are motivated by centrifugal social forces, promoting independence and an increased sense of entitlement, exclusive individualism, hostile competitiveness, all of which are completely purposeless, even harmful in today's global society. We are constantly trying to implement pre-global individualistic values in a global interdependent system, thus causing "cracks" in the social fabric of reality, which we could especially witness during the coronavirus pandemic. In order to bring about a change in current trends, a paradigm shift is required, first of all in human values, which would increase existing centripetal social forces. This means that the generation living today must formulate a commitment to global citizenship alongside involvement in local citizenship. In order to protect ourselves from future outbursts of pandemics and other similar systemic crises, a new vision of human society is required which fosters openness, care for the "other", and mutual responsibility across national borders, as well as cultural, religious, racial, gendered and other divides. The only effective response to global crises is – global response.

Full textAbstract:
There is consensus among researchers are recognizing that managing and projecting in complexity multidimensionality (Manzini, Baule, & Bertola, 2004) represents one of the mains challenges and constants of contemporaries’ processes of innovation. This systemic distinguishing peculiarity makes impossible to standardize the design processes because every single situation needs to be solve by adopting different strategies (Celaschi & Deserti, 2007). Nevertheless, those innovative processes can be developed and managed by refer us to tools and practices of design into the paradigms of multidisciplinary and multidimensional. However, what happens when professors have to transmit those concepts to young students of design faculties? We have to consider that normally those students are coming from second-degree schools, which programs usually still insist on content rigidly divided in disciplines and don´t consider how the contemporary relation between space and time has overturned for them (Morin, 2001). Young students generally disclaim their past in the meaning of heritage, values and techniques knowledge; they live in the present, a time that does not exist; a time that today results enormously expanded by globalization processes. They still living in a reality of which territorial capital subsystems are characterized by an entropic strong dichotomy of entities in opposition but, on the other hand, in balance within themselves, as for example topics as material/immaterial, collective/identity, culture/industry, etc. So, which are the design didactic challenges to provide horizontal skills for allowing young students to understand complexity and manage knowledge of the reality? This article will discuss the case study of the perception among design of a newly generation admitted at the Innovation and Design Engineering Degree of the Universidad Panamericana – Guadalajara Campus. As expected, in this new generation we can especially observe a resistance to consider the sociocultural, business, technological and territorial dimensions as systems that strategically characterized and affected plural aspects of the design innovation processes. The contribute then proceed in analyzing case studies of didactic activities for creating skills and sensibility able to develop this capability to observe, select and manage the intangible in order to optimize the design of the tangible in the young generations.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/IFDP.2016.3328

Full textAbstract:
Generating design-enabled innovation implies the identification of social, technological, and cultural changes taking place nowadays and of the opportunities offered by the digital transformation, which enters these processes, playing an important role in all areas of contemporary life, from urban, domestic, health and services in general.In our era, the ambient intelligence pervades objects such as cities; electronic perception systems collect information and data from us, trying to understand our needs and give us answers. Cities are real living laboratories for experimenting new technologies on an urban scale.Big Data management represents one of the critical points of the ongoing revolution. The data can give information about people, understand behaviors, change city policies and so on. Big Data represent a qualitative leap in digital culture; nothing exists in Big Data before questions, explained De Kerckhove [1].“It is also and above all a cognitive revolution, where the answer no longer comes from the question. The large amount of data that comes from the pervasive use of technology already contains all the answers, but it has no value if it is not interrogated with the right questions. As McLuhan says, when all the answers are at hand, it's only the question that matters" [1].The perspective is then reversed: the first step in making society smarter is not to collect as much data as possible or develop an infallible algorithm, but it is necessary to identify the relevant expectations and needs in and for that society and ask the right questions, and to investigate what it represents, in the collective imagination, the quality of life and what technology can generate as a response.The project presented starts from the observation that we are faced with a strong migratory and global tourism flows that are affecting European cities, placing us in front of a growing multiculturalism in urban areas, with consequent issues related to the inclusion of cultural diversity and dialogue. The landscape of cities in many European countries has changed significantly, and the use of public space and services is no longer suited to the needs of multicultural citizens. This phenomenon has developed rapidly, without an adaptation of social policies, services, and spaces to emerging needs, creating evident problems of inclusion and dialogue between different cultures.Digital technologies and ubiquitous computing systems offer many opportunities for designing products and services aimed at increase interaction, collect, and share information, knowledge, emotions, experiences, through platforms that support the increase of social awareness.The research investigates how to use digital technologies and which design strategies and creative, communicative and process paths can be used to promote inclusion through interaction and communication between the different cultures that coexist in the same smart city context.Promoting interaction in public spaces, between citizens with different cultural backgrounds, becomes a crucial element to support social cohesion and to facilitate coexistence between different cultures. Opportunities to mix people in daily life reinforce shared values and goals.One of the best approaches that can be adopted for the design of new urban spaces and services is co-design, which indicates collective creativity as it is applied throughout a design process and involves all stakeholders, encouraging and supporting them to take an active role in this process.Following the indications of Findeli [2], this design research was carried out with the tools of design, and above all with its most original and specific characteristic, the project, developing in this specific case a pilot product-service.The project, funded within the H2020 framework program, made it possible to experiment with design tools to foster the engagement of different cultures present in the urban environment and encourage them to interact with each other, also including other types of stakeholders, from public administration to small/medium enterprises and to third sector associations.All the areas of cultural heritage, tangible, and intangible, where every culture has many stories to tell, have emerged as the most suitable areas for experimenting with new ways of interacting and communicating through which diversity can be encountered and compared. Five design for storytelling strategies guided the project: i) building relevance; ii) design for experience; iii) interactivity; iv) immersion; v) inclusion.[1] De Kerckhove Derrick, Psicologie connettive, Milano, Egea, 2014.[2] Findeli Alain, “Design research-Introduction”, Design Issues n. 15(2), 1999.

Full textAbstract:
Urban functions are no longer separated spatially or socially, and the contest between diverse land-uses is reaching a peak due to growing populations and increasing urbanization that inflates the pressure on already strained resources within the urban fabric. The trend of depletion of green spaces is an increasing global phenomenon, intensifying the growing carbon footprint, impairing water quality and compromising health and overall quality of life, ultimately leading to cities that are far removed from the safe, clean, and livable environments, as envisioned in planning theory. Green spaces are often viewed as a “luxury good”, despite the comprehensive literature on the extensive benefits of such spaces to their host cities and communities. Misconceptions relating to the notion of green spaces are reflected in the undervaluation of these spaces, under-prioritization in the budgeting process and ultimate negligence in terms of broader spatial planning approaches. The lack of function and ownership further exacerbate the social- and economic value of these green spaces, especially within the South African context, apparent by the disproval of the compensation hypothesis and rejection of the proximity principle. Much effort will be needed to change perceptions and sensitize decision-makers to understand green spaces as a “public good” and “economic asset”. Resilience thinking could pose solutions in this regard, drawing on transdisciplinary planning approaches to manage change and steer Spatial Planning towards the era of transurbanism. It would however, require the emancipation of the disciplinary identity of Spatial Planning as crucial driver towards resilience, departing from theoretical and methodological frames of supplementary disciplines, as well as the indigenous knowledge and living experiences of communities, to co-produce urban innovations. Conveying strategic and lateral thinking, contemporary Planners would need to become generative leaders, with socio-emotional intelligence, to generate innovation and co-create solutions for strained social contexts, for depleting scare resources, for managing change of contemporary urban landscapes.

In International Conference Virtual City and Territory. Roma: Centre de Política de Sòl i Valoracions, 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.5821/ctv.8012.
Full textAbstract:
Dentro de los diversos fenómenos socio-urbanos contemporáneos, los que corresponden a la
contracultura son algunos de los que tienen mayor impacto y participación específica en la
esfera pública. Estas formas de cohabitar un territorio supone, en la mayoría de los casos un
rechazo sistemático generalizado, tanto por la irrupción al orden establecido, como por su
condición emergente y sus lenguajes novedosos, codificados y transgresores con que se
manifiestan.
A pesar de que los sectores sociales oficialmente válidos no reconocen de una forma abierta su
autenticidad e importancia para el autoconocimiento social y territorial, la permanencia de estas
formas subversivas de habitar la ciudad, habla de una fuerza que construye tanto identidades
como patrimonio e imaginarios al paso del tiempo.
Ejemplo de lo anterior, podría ser el fenómeno graffiti surgido en los años 70 del pasado siglo,
que luego de haber sido objeto de persecución policiaca, al paso de los años algunas de éstas
obras han llegado a otorgar una suerte de identidad comunitaria o patrimonio urbano
insospechado. Este sería el caso de las intervenciones del denominado “padre del graffiti” Taki
183, a quien en la actualidad le dedican homenajes, retrospectivas, exposiciones y hasta la
protección o conservación de las pocas intervenciones que aún persisten dentro del Area
Metropolitana de Nueva York. Años después se han replicado fenómenos alrededor del mundo
como el caso del artista inglés Banksy, que ha llegado a conmocionar tanto a las autoridades
como a corredores de arte y ciudadanos de todo el mundo.
Estas acciones mas allá de su intención crítica o comunicativa dentro de los espacios de la
ciudad, reditúan en el fortalecimiento a las crecientes industrias de materiales, pero también
influencian la identidad, la atracción turística de una ciudad, el uso de sus espacios públicos,
etc. en las ciudades que los contienen.
Sin embargo, una nueva forma de ejercer la creatividad en la esfera pública a partir de las
prácticas tradicionales del graffiti antes descrito, ha estado dejando sorpresivos rastros, que
invitan a la reflexión ciudadana sobre la forma como se viven las ciudades, poniendo en valor la
importancia que pueden llegar a tener los espacios comunes de un territorio con sus
potenciales alternativas.
La presente colaboración, pretende hacer un análisis de las alternativas creativas que hoy día,
pueblan las principales ciudades del mundo, y la manera como estas pueden llegar a hacer
ciudad y a realizar el ejercicio de la ciudadanía a partir de una acción creativa al alcance de las
masas que se mueven por las ciudades. Así es como el post-graffiti alejado ya del uso de su
herramienta por antonomasia; aerosol, plantea nuevas formas de alejarse de su esencia
vandálica, para aproximarse a nuevas miradas, pero sobre todo revalorizando los espacios y elementos de la cotidianidad, con un discurso que ve desaparecer la delgada línea que lo
separa de poder llegar a ser la próxima página de la historia del arte. Graffiti, afterwards known as postgraffiti, being considered within the various sociocontemporary
urban phenomenons, are among those with the greatest impact and participation
in the public sphere. Although, it´s authenticity is not officially recognized by the social sector,
these subversive ways of being in the city, speak of a force that builds identities both as equity
and imaginary over time. Postgraffiti, beyond its critical or communicative intent within the
spaces of a city, pay off the strengthening of the growing material industries, but also influence
the identity, tourist attraction of the city and the use of public spaces, adding to it a citizenship
exercise.
Postgraffiti creativity has been leaving surprisive trails that invite the public to reflect on how
cities are living, giving value to the common areas and its importance that can have as a
territory with potential alternatives. The postgraffti images, expand the communicative potential
of the visual language; seen as an expression placed in the contemporary city landscapes or
public spaces, take along a sociocultural dimension and community expression.
