Introduction. The aim of the study is the problem of protecting cultural and historic properties in the cities, that have been affected and damaged as a result of war. It is shown that the properties of cultural and historical heritage are significantly damaged, threatening their preservation, which can lead to their complete loss. In each case, the primary concern has been the impact of the reconstruction on the values for which the property was inscribed as a World Heritage site. The urgency of the problem is determined by the fact that cultural heritage sites that are not on the UNESCO list remain outside the attention of the authorities, the professional community and the public, which, as a result of reconstruction process, can lead to their loss, loss of urban identity, and not only negative humanitarian consequences, but also reduce significant economic potential. Materials and methods. The studies are based on a retrospective analysis of the territory, which can be used to identify the boundaries of the city, which have historical and cultural significance. The systematic approach and cartography method are used to determine the location of the historic center of Homs city and historical heritage objects within, which is necessary to assess their value and to face all the challenges and prevent further damages loss of cultural significance that was caused by the military conflict. Special approaches were proposed for protecting the objects which have historical and cultural significance. Also, a several points of weakness were presented in the reconstruction process of cities affected by the war. Results. Applying cartography method based on retrospective analysis of the city affected by military conflicts in our case Homs city. Both methods can help detecting the boundaries of the territory, which has signs of historical and cultural significance. Also, a recommendation mechanism was proposed for reconstruction process in the historical cities affected by military actions based on the preservation of their historical potential and urban identity, aimed at implementing the concept of sustainable development. Conclusions. The study of post-conflict reconstruction of historic cities, shown the necessity of using special urban planning techniques for the restoration process in the territories with historical and cultural significance.

Full textAbstract:
This article uses Cronkhite’s definition of communication to examine the relationship between Abarkouhi homes and three forms of human communication—(1) human–human, (2) human–nature, and (3) human–place—that take place in the “home” as symbolic actions. We assumed first that it is the sense of belonging that causes the stability of life in Abarkouhi houses. We use the definitions of “home” offered by phenomenologists to present our theoretical synthesis based on two concepts of place and communication. The article will discuss the ethnographic methodology of the study and the ethnographic interviews conducted with the residents about Abarkouh’s historic context, including the analysis of a number of photos. After collecting the interview data, we combined them with the data gathered by direct observations. Some of the findings indicate that the current residents of Abarkouh are old men and women who are probably the last generation of people living in the historic city. Therefore, the sense of belonging to “home” and the level of adaptation to new ways of life and new communicative actions within the old homes are not such that they contribute to the durability of life in the old houses and to keeping the future generations eager enough to continue living in this historic context. Along with the introduction of new technology and a modern way of life, many of the communicative actions resulting from living in these homes have disappeared, and nothing has replaced them. We believe that the historic context of the city, including its various home types and typical places, is in danger of disappearing.

Platted in 1899, the Corbin Park neighborhood in Spokane, Washington, is the only historic district in the city that is listed on all three historic registers: the National Register of Historic Places, the Washington State list of historic properties, and the Spokane Register of Historic Places. A diminutive enclave of eighty-three homes that surround a small, oval-shaped city park, the district offers a case study of several issues surrounding district designation: in the past, its residents have used preservation as an instrument of exclusion, they have accommodated change as the "patina of place" has modified the district's character, and for several decades, the neighborhood has navigated conflict between preservation advocates and park officials—a paradox created by opposing city policies.

In November 2018 eight people, including a mother from the Comoros and residents from Tunisia and Algeria, died when two buildings collapsed in the run down area of Noailles in the old port area of Marseille. A 2015 government report had already warned that 40,000 dilapidated and dangerous homes put 100,000 people at risk in France's second city, but campaigners say little was done. The tragedy occasioned widespread anger about run down and exploitative housing in the Mediterranean city. It also refocused public attention on housing and the concept of the home. In turn this raised questions about how housing and the home connect to space and social justice, the division of labour between national and local government, citizenship and ‘the right to the city’.

Full textAbstract:
This essay examines the ways in which the private, domestic landscape of historic Delhi changed between 1847 and 1910. I look at Delhi's ubiquitous introverted courtyard house, the haveli, during a time of dramatic cultural dislocation. Modernity and the British colonial presence together had the consequence of fragmenting sprawling princely mansions to modest dwellings and tenement houses or redefining them as more rational and efficient homes. Tracing the transformation of the haveli in form and meaning serves as a mirror to the changes in the city during the time. In Delhi, monolithic and oppositional categorization of "traditional" and "modern" masked more complex identities as the quintessential "traditional" city grew and changed in ways that were distinctly "untraditional." The landscapes of domestic architecture reveal a city struggling to define itself as modern-on its own terms.

The home of America's first university, its first public school, and its first public library, the Boston area now hosts more than two hundred thousand students. From 1630, when John Winthrop said Boston should be “a city on a hill,” through the McGuffey readers of the nineteenth century, the city has been a beacon of learning. Its politics have been long and colorful: Massachusetts boasts the oldest continuously used, written Constitution in the world, John Adams's 1780 state constitution; the gerrymander was named after Governor Elbridge Gerry's plan for redrawing North Shore districts; the early years of this century saw fierce Yankee-Irish battles for the State House. Massachusetts produced and remains transfixed by the Kennedys, was the only state to vote for George McGovern, and has another interesting gubernatorial race this year. (Keep an eye peeled for people standing with election signs at busy intersections, a local political tradition.) In short, Boston holds much allure for the political scientist.For the tourist, too, Boston is an appealing destination. It is a compact city and, in the words of the old travel cliché, a city best appreciated on foot (or by public transportation). Most sites of interest in the historic downtown and nearby nineteenth-century neighborhoods are within walking distance of each other. There are restaurants, shops, book-stores, and a certain European vitality of city life—perhaps the result of narrow streets and ample green space. For walkers, the Freedom Trail organizes most of the major Revolution-era sites, and plenty of other spots are marked in the historic core. The same history, though, means Boston's streets were laid out on seventeenth-century cowpaths.

Full textAbstract:
Based on an interdisciplinary research course for graduate students, this paper describes a project that combines arts-based research, walking methodology, and posthuman theories to design a research-creation. The purpose of this assemblage of photographs, archived newsletters, online information, maps, and other materials is to aid in the suspension of linear thinking and offer a unique contribution to the discussion of what gaining “historic” status can do in a particular place/time. This paper describes how the neighborhood association, formed 50 years ago, had the primary mission to lobby for historic status in order to protect property values and prevent multi-dwelling homes and businesses from moving in. By embarking on a multisensory inquiry employing walking methodology, I demonstrate how this insular, exclusive, historic neighborhood continues to be entangled within the surrounding geographic areas, as well as within the socio-politico-and economic dimensions of the city.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Urban neighbourhoods are home to complex social interactions, cultural traditions and historic built environments that have accrued over time. Many community development corporations (CDCs) in the United States work in older, inner-city neighbourhoods, setting the stage for a possible alliance with historic preservation. This paper explores the intersection of community development and historic preservation, asking: In high-growth contexts, how do community developers working in neighbourhoods with strong cultural and ethnic identity use historic preservation? What are their motivations? And, how do they define, use, and/or adapt preservation to address the needs of their target communities? The article chronicles the Seattle Chinatown-International District Preservation Development Authority’s (SCIDpda) efforts to reverse neighbourhood decline while preserving the International District’s significant history, fostering its continued future as a Pan-Asian community, overcoming persistent barriers to development, and mitigating high growth pressures. The findings show that for community developers, preservation can serve as an oppositional strategy to demolition and incompatible new development, helping to attract outside financial resources, and providing a means to assert local symbolic ownership over neighbourhood space.

<p class="Abstract"><em>Cultural heritage areas in the form of historic urban villages are part of the country's wealth that deserves to be preserved. The value and authenticity of settlements is the focus of conservation measures. Protocol Hoi Ana in 2009 explained the dimensions of cultural heritage. This dimension is divided into two: first, dimensions that are visible, in the form of visual, visible, building material, location, place settings, and others. Second, the dimensions of values contained in cultural heritage, in the form of history, spirit of place and others. The authenticity and whereabouts of historic villages in a city have so far decreased in number and seem to disappear with frequent cases of fires that damage this cultural heritage area. From the data collected, there are various causes of fires in the historic urban village. The main focus is related to the low level of public awareness, among others: negligence due to the fall of candles, transformer explosions, excessive use of currents, low awareness of the causes of electricity theft practices which often lead to short circuits which cause fires that cause casualties, damage to urban areas and historical buildings in it. The historic city village is a property of the nation and state. The community has the same responsibility in a community to save and preserve it. This paper reviews various literature studies related to the role of the community in preventing the danger of fire in cultural heritage areas that have been home to tens or even hundreds of years. With the existence of knowledge and sense of ownership by the community, it is hoped that fire prevention management in the historic township can be applied and its sustainability carried out.</em></p>

Full textAbstract:
The built environment in the old city of Homs has been brutally destroyed by the conflict in Syria. The research gap in post-conflict planning and architectural design in the old city of Homs is alarming as it indicates that there are no clear roadmaps on how to deal with post-conflict housing units in such a historic area. This study aims to investigate the possible design basis of housing typologies and plans for the housing units in the old city after the conflict. This study is primarily based on a literature review and extensive discussions with a specialist architect from the city of Homs, who helped to gain a deeper understanding of how to approach such a topic. The literature review deals with the historical Arab cities’ components and the elements of courtyard houses both in general and in the old city of Homs in particular. Likewise, it looks at the city’s urban plans and building code and their shortcomings and highlights the current conditions there. It also highlights proposed strategies for post-conflict construction and discusses them. The findings of the study propose a design ideology for reconstruction strategies and translate these ideologies and findings from the literature into a practical design of typologies placed on a proposed plot of land in the old city, along with a proposal of what the plans of these houses might look like.

Full textAbstract:
San Felipe de Neri, a neighborhood located in the Historic District of Panama, is the object of physical, economic and social transformations that are affecting its residents' daily lives. Revitalization and gentrification drive these transformations as wealthy Panamanians invest in the neighborhood, and affluent foreigners flock to it since it became a World Heritage Site in 1997. This dissertation addresses perceptions and reactions residents have because of these physical, economic and social challenges.
This study poses four main questions: 1. What physical, economic, and social (quality of life) changes have taken place in the Historic District of San Felipe from the early twentieth century to the present? To what extent are these changes the result of global processes, local processes, or both? 2. How do residents perceive these changes? Is there any significant difference in opinions and attitudes among residents regarding changes that revitalization and gentrification impose on the neighborhood? If so, how and why are they different? 3. To what extent have residents participated in these transformations? and 4. How do residents who have been relocated perceive these changes?
My research analyzes Smith's five characteristics of a third wave of gentrification: first, the transformed role of the state; second, the penetration by global finance; third, changing levels of political opposition; fourth, geographical dispersal; and fifth, the sectoral generalization of gentrification and its relevance for my case study of San Felipe.
This methodology enlists quantitative and qualitative methods to address these research questions to gain insight about residents' perspectives regarding these transformations. Findings indicate that both residents and ex-residents of San Felipe view the outcomes of revitalization and gentrification in mixed ways. Both groups mostly agree that the improvement of the physical conditions of the neighborhood is a positive outcome for preserving the material heritage, and for encouraging international and national tourism benefiting the country.
Regardless of their economic and social status, residents claim that the place where they have lived for a long time is no longer theirs, except in their memories. They face the threat of eviction and an uncertain future. Former residents—those who have been displaced—have mixed views as well. On the one hand, they have improved their living standards because they now have better housing infrastructures. On the other hand, their new locations are scattered about the city and are often in dangerous areas that lack the amenities of San Felipe. Others feel that in the process they have lost a home; a place filled with meaningful memories and to which one day they dream of returning.
A diverse residential population is the only way to save historic centers from becoming museums that present a pastiche and a 'façadism' catered to the international consumer. Preserving the human and physical patrimony is the most viable way to achieve sustainability and development in historic areas.
Associations had no permanent places to meet with residents. This eroded the desire of residents to participate, and encouraged them to accept whatever owners wanted to give them to move out of the neighborhood. In the end, they became disenfranchised.
A lack of both leadership and strong social movements, and the dissemblance of grass-root organizations through co-optation, clientelism, and even deception became the norm in the neighborhood.Ph. D.

Alexandra Gomes da Silva Oliveira AntunesA guerra e o conflito armado são a mais séria ameaça às estruturas sociais, económicas e culturais dos países que passaram por esse tipo de circunstância. Infelizmente, o que realmente fica visível sobre a destruição pós-guerras são os danos arquitetónicos e urbanos, particularmente em edifícios históricos que representam a identidade do lugar. Os edifícios históricos assumem diferenças particularizadas, existindo várias abordagens para lidar com cada um dos exemplares, atendendo ao tecido urbano envolvente, à importância do edifício no seu valor histórico e arquitetónico, assim como tendo em consideração os recursos disponíveis para a intervenção. A Síria é um dos países que sofreu com um conflito armado desde 2012. Além do sofrimento humano e de como a sociedade síria foi moldada, esse conflito armado afetou negativamente as infraestruturas de muitas cidades em todo o país. Homs, a terceira maior cidade da Síria, sofreu cerca de três anos de guerra, numa destruição em grande escala em quase todas as partes do território urbano consolidado. Esta pesquisa apresenta um estudo teórico de edifícios históricos no contexto da conservação do espaço urbano. Além disso, procura desenvolver a ideia de preservação do património cultural e como isso pode constituir uma ferramenta positiva, não apenas para recuperar o ambiente urbano e histórico, mas também desempenhando um papel importante na fase de recuperação pós-guerra, na reconstrução e eventual reconciliação. O estudo inclui a apresentação de alguns edifícios historicamente importantes na cidade antiga de Homs, que foram danificados devido ao conflito armado e recriam uma conexão visual entre eles, no sentido de recuperar as características urbanas e originais da cidade antiga. Além disso, tomando 'Khan Al-Jamal' como um exemplo de um edifício histórico destruído, que precisa de um plano de reconstrução e reabilitação de baixo custo, procura-se traçar diretrizes para os projetos pós-guerra. Por fim, esses planos representam impactos sociais, culturais e económicos profundos no ambiente urbano, que podem atender à necessidade de continuidade da melhoria de qualidade de vida, além da conservação histórica e da preservação da identidade da cidade.
Wars and armed conflicts represent the most serious threat to nations that have been through these kinds of circumstances because they negatively affect their social, political, economic and cultural cohesion. Unfortunately, what really stays to tell us about the destruction following the wars is the architectural and urban damages, particularly historic buildings that represent the identity of the place. Historic buildings have many differences, accordingly, there are various approaches to deal with each historic building considering the urban fabric in the surrounding environment, and these approaches depend on the importance of the building, its historical value and the available resources. Syria is one of the country that suffered from an armed conflict since 2012. In addition to the human suffering and how the Syrian society was shaped, this armed conflict affected negatively the infrastructure and many cities all over the country. Homs, the third biggest city in Syria, suffered about three years of war, and after the war, a large-scale of destruction over almost all parts of the old city was left behind. This research presents a theoretical study of historical buildings in the context of historic and urban conservation. Moreover, it seeks to enhance the idea of cultural heritage preservation and how this could be as a positive tool, not only to regain the historic built environment but also it can play an important role in the recovery phase following a period of wars, for social reconstruction and eventual reconciliation. This study includes presenting some historically important buildings in the old city of Homs, which have been damaged due to the armed conflict and recreate a visual connection between them to regain the city's old features. In addition, this study draw guidelines for post-war reconstruction plans for ‘Khan Al-Jamal’, an example of a destroyed historic building, which need reconstruction and rehabilitation plans with the best attempts to have a low-cost plan. Finally, those plans could have social, cultural and economic deep impacts on the urban environment, which can fulfil the need of continuity, modern-day demands, and better quality of life along with historic conservation and preserve the identity of the city.

A Computer-aided Representation of a Historic Street in Tainan City – Exemplified by Hom-Machi 3，4-Chome and Their Surrounding area Author: Szu-Hua, Pan Advisor: Professor Min-Fu Hsu Department of Architecture National Cheng Kung University SUMMARY The objective of the research is to represent the development of historic street in digital way, exemplified by Tainan hom-machi 3，4-chome and their surrounding area from 1895 to 1950, including entire Japanese ruling period, and s short early postwar showing how the street rebuild from the wave of bombings in1945. The representation based on abundant historical materials including document files of Taiwan Governor-General Office, newspapers, the 1938 housing survey reports (家屋戶順調查手帳), old photos and existing historic buildings. The street be classified into three units- landform, street fabric, and dwelling. Represent each unit according to its characteristic, eventually combine to form digital street model. The representation of landform is based on the 1911 city improvement map with contour lines. The representation of street fabrics rely on maps and document files of Taiwan Governor-General Office. The housing survey reports is the keystone of the dwelling representation, which record the form, structure, function, owner, lifespan, and basic floor plan. The computer-aided historic street representation produce a digital model take year as minima time unit, representing the changing of street fabric, and dwelling, while the landform can only be represented the 1911 for the limit of historical material. The result of representation visualize the development of street, not only the volume but also the spatial context- the division of street fabrics and the form and structure and fountain of dwellings, caused by the city improvement plan. The result of the representation in the way of visualization, clear the process of spatial change of Hom-Machi 3，4-Chome and their Surrounding area, and quantize the space number. Key words: housing survey report, Representation, City Improvement Plan, visualization INTRODUCTION In Japanese ruling period, Office of the Taiwan Governor-General introduce western urban plan to Taiwan cities, changing the original urban texture formed during Dutch occupation and Qing Dynasty and also change the context of street space. The interaction of two systems shape the Tainan city today, creating city space with unique characteristic. By representation of Tainan Historic Street, we can review the process of change. Street space constantly changing, through historical materials we can only shoot a glance at the district faded away, however in the help of digital tools we may reveal it in a more all-round way, that is computer-aided representation. And the purpose of research is try to show the development of street in a comprehensive and straightforward way that provide possibility for correction in the feature. There are two kinds of related references in the research, one is about Tainan City and Hom-Machi 3，4-chome, another is computer-aided representation. The former provide background information of the street and help clarify the time point of modification happened, giving clues of finding primary historical materials. The latter reveal representing different kinds of space unit in digital way, such as landform, neighborhood, dwelling group, building or wall. This remind the possible barrier and give assistance to set the steps of each unit in the research. Materials used including document files, newspapers, housing survey reports, photos, existing historic buildings, they contribute to different space units. The methods to represent landform based on the contour lines of 1911 city improvement map. The contour lines of 2005 aeronautical map also used to build landform model in order to compare the 1911 landform model. The methods to represent street fabrics based on cadastral map surveyed about 1904 and used even postwar. While the details of street fabric modification principally count on the document files of Taiwan Governor-General Office which record before and after the modification with graphs and words. The methods to represent the dwellings based on the floor plans and spatial information of the1938 housing survey reports. Finally combine the model of space units-landform, street fabrics, dwellings. The result of historic street representation is a digital model representing the changing of street fabric, architecture forms, structure systems and space function of minima time unit year, visualizing and quantizing the process of spatial change of Hom-Machi 3，4-Chome and their Surrounding area. MATERIALS AND METHODS The flow chart in chapter 1, figure1-3, shows the whole structure of research, how to connect the historical materials with the unit model, how to edit and rectify through representation. The historical materials used in the research will be describe in chapter 2 according to the space levels classified into four groups-maps, document file of Taiwan Governor-General Office and newspapers, housing survey report (家屋戶順調查手帳), old photos and existing historic buildings. The method of presentation will be describe in chapter 3, firstly make a description of the time point and of modification, secondly the steps of representation for each space unit, lastly combine of units. RESULES AND DISCUSSION Representation of Hom-Machi 3，4-Chome and Their Surrounding area showing the context change of street, visualize and quantify the space change between 1895 to 1950, give a more clear image of Tainan city. The representation reveal the modification of street space basic volume and the space structure in a comprehensive and straightforward way that provide possibility for correction in the feature. In the chapter 4 shows the graphs of details: 1. historical material level 2. architecture forms1u04 3. structure system 4. space function There are five groups of time point chosen to show the spatial change before and after the street modification. 1. 1895 2. 1904 3. 1906,1907,1908 4. 1931,1933, 5. 1944,1945,1950 CONCLUSION Computer-aided representation not only can give a more specific understanding of the city space but also can help correct historical material. Moreover it can keep on development, façade and detail can be aid to the result of representation. Using the same methord can also represent other area of Tainan or even other city of Taiwan.

AbstractThis contribution presents the validation of the age at death of Geert Adriaans BOOMGAARD (GAB), a seaman who reached the age of 110. He was born in Groningen on 21 September 1788 and died in the same city on 3 February 1899. A remarkable number of documents have been found that cover the full span of GAB’s life, and thus make it possible to validate his reported exceptional age. In the first step of the validation, a comparison of the baptism and death records shows that the information provided is consistent, even if the spelling of the surnames of his parents reported in the two records is not identical. The reconstitution of GAB’s family and the dates of birth of his siblings also support the validity of GAB’s reported age at death. The demographic information covers the period between 1818 (the year of his first marriage) and 1837 (the year of birth of his last child). We found few documents that mention him during his early life before his first marriage, including a document from 1791 indicating that his father named his new boat De Jonge Geert as well as a list of conscripts from 1811 where his name appeared. By contrast, we found numerous documents covering the period from 1837 to 1899 that are related to his career as a seaman; the marriages of children; his entry into a nursing home; and various interviews, photos, and articles on his life that appeared in the press. All of these documents support the validity of GAB’s reported year of birth and age at death. Thus, GAB might be considered the first thoroughly validated supercentenarian in the history of humankind.

This chapter traces the process of African American children in the tri-city area of Harlan County, Kentucky, becoming, like many others in the country, “children of integration” through the historic Brown v. Board of Education case. Both the inheritance and the risks of desegregation befell everyday black children; they would be the change agents for dismantling the “separate but equal” doctrine upheld by Plessy v. Ferguson. What was that experience like? By tracing the background of the Brown case and using oral history testimony, the chapter draws attention to the hidden injuries, loss of community, and transforming racial epistemologies that accompanied forced school desegregation. When asked to reflect on the perceived costs and benefits of desegregation, participant responses varied by generation and level of abstraction. While acknowledging the benefits, they all expressed some form of injury: a loss of community and African American identity.

This chapter introduces the concept of domesticity and sets the general historical background for the rest of the book. Looking at how new ideas on Ottoman urban management in Istanbul and foreign investments in infrastructure helped transform Beirut from a sleepy harbor town to major entrepôt, the chapter also foregrounds how the emergence of a middle class shaped life in the city. It explores the various characteristics of the middle class and places it in the context of the nahda, the late-nineteenth, early-twentieth century vibrant intellectual and cultural production in Arabic. It also investigates how the middle class spread across the city's new neighborhoods. Finally, the chapter closes with an overview of the archival sources used in the book.

This chapter provides an overview of the geographical location of where The Boys lived. It starts by examining the history of Bradford's textile trade, as the Pakistani migrants arrived in Bradford originally to work in the textile mills. However, due to the demise of the textile industry in the 1970s and 1980s, many of the city's migrants were left in a difficult financial situation. The young men in the study reside in an area of Bradford called Manningham, and the chapter examines the historical circumstances which contributed to the characteristics of this district. It also explores the reasons why so many Pakistanis sought to live there even though the early Pakistani community faced a number of concerning issues when settling there, such as racism.

Examining Hou Xiaoxian's Dust in the Wind (1986) and City of Sadness (1989) as case studies, this chapter tells the story of how Jiufen, a once sleeping mining community in Northeastern Taiwan, transformed into Taiwan's first site of historical origins almost entirely re-imagined by the Taiwan New Cinema, making it a truly postmodern nativist landmark. This chapter demonstrates how Dust’s rural representations not only stem from the filmmakers' practices of location shooting as cultural remembrance, but also provide spectators with a visual framework for recollecting their own memories. Jiufen is imaged as a paradigmatic Taiwanese hometown, a space in which one has learned to accept one’s unfulfilled aspirations. City re-shapes this image of Jiufen into a metonym for the entire nation, a home where all – regardless of identity – must remember and accept personal loss as part of their collective history. Through City, Jiufen materializes into a paradigmatic site of Taiwan’s coming of age, a heterotopic microcosm of the nascent Taiwanese imagined community. Thrown into the national spotlight by the Taiwan New Cinema, Jiufen transforms off-screen into a socially contested space, attracting the diverse and competing attentions of local and international tourists, preservationists, advertisers, filmmakers, historians, developers, and politicians.

As any ten-year-old in East L.A., or Philly’s El Norte knows, borders tend to follow working-class Latinos wherever they live and regardless of how long they have been in the United States. Mike Davis, Magical Urbanism As the twentieth century drew to a close, Lawrence barely resembled the city it had been at the end of World War II. While its landscape was still dominated by brick mills and triple-decker homes, its economy and population had been profoundly transformed by suburbanization, deindustrialization, and Latino immigration. As scholars develop a distinct historiography of postwar Latino urbanism, Lawrence may not prove to be typical—as no city could possibly be—but its history nonetheless provides a set of essential questions to address: What was the role of U.S. imperialism in the Latinization (and globalization) of U.S. cities in the late twentieth century? How did race and class segregation in the era of suburbanization and urban crisis impact Latino settlement patterns and experiences? How did Latinos fight against disinvestment and discrimination and strive to claim their right to the city? Where did Latinos fit in the larger stigmatization of the “inner city” and the broad turn to conservatism that this discourse helped enable? From the periphery of U.S. empire to the ghettos at its center, Latino migration in the crisis era was a protracted struggle against containment and marginalization. Imperial migrants fought to have in the United States what U.S. intervention had denied them at home, pushing back against barriers of race and class in a segregated metropolitan landscape....

Full textAbstract:
This chapter shows how five characteristics make London particularly unique among global cities. First, it has a history of immigration dating back at least two millennia, linked to the fact that migrants, in the form of invading Romans, founded the city. Second, it has become ‘super-diverse’ in recent years due to the range of countries from which the population of the British capital has originated as well as the range of languages spoken and religious pluralism. A third unique characteristic lies in the fact that, for much of its history, especially the last two centuries, London has served as home to at least half, and often more, of most of the migrant groups which have settled in Britain. Fourth, as the city and its population have increased together with the number of immigrants, the concentration of foreigners has moved away from the East End heartland to encompass the entire capital of Britain. Fifth, migrants to London do not simply fit into neat theories of labour migration.

The fifth chapter continues to chart the rise of Mexican and Mexican American incarceration in the United States. Like Magon’s rebellion, it is a tale that unfolded in Los Angeles and across the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. Like the history of immigrant detention, it is a story about the collision of deportation and incarceration. But in particular, Chapter 5 examines how, during the 1920s and 1930s, the politics of controlling Mexican immigration to the United States directly prompted the criminalization of unauthorized border crossings and, in turn, triggered a steady rise in the number of Mexicans imprisoned within the United States. Home to the largest Mexican community within the United States, Los Angeles was ground zero for the politics and practices of Mexican incarceration in these years.

Alessandro Camiz ¹ ¹ Department of Architecture, Girne American University, Cyprus, Association for Historical Dialogue and Research, Home for Cooperation (H4C), 28 Marcou Dracou Street, Nicosia, Cyprus, 1102. E-mail: alessandrocamiz@gau.edu.tr Keywords (3-5): urban tissues, urban morphology, urban routes, theory, history Conference topics and scale: Tools of analysis in urban morphology Recent urban morphology studies consider urban tissues as living organisms changing in time (Strappa, Carlotti, Camiz, 2016), following this assumption the theory should examine more analytically what Muratori called ‘medievalisation’ (Muratori, 1959), a term describing some of the transformations of urban routes happened in the middle ages. The paper considers the diachronic deformation of routes, and other multi-scalar occurrences of the attraction phenomena (Charalambous, Geddes, 2015), introducing the notion of attractors and repellers. Archaeological studies already do consider attractors and repellers as a tool to interpret some territorial transformations, following the assumption that “the trajectory that a system follows through time is the result of a continuous dynamic interaction between that system and the multiple 'attractors' in its environment” (Renfrew, Bahn, 2013, p. 184). There are different elements that can act as attractors in an urban environment, such as bridges, city walls, city gates, water systems, markets, special buildings, and it is possible to consider each of these anthropic attractors as equivalent to a morphological attractor at the geographical scale. We can even interpret the ridge-top theory (Caniggia, 1976) as the result of attraction and repellence of geographic features on anthropic routes. The territorial scale analysis is the methodological base of the theory, but the attractors herein considered operate at the urban scale, deviating locally across time from a rectilinear trajectory and defining a specific urban fabric. The research interprets and reads the effects of attractors on urban routes and fabrics as a method for the reconstruction of Nicosia’s medieval city walls, in continuity between the Conzenian approach (Whitehand, 2012) and the Italian School of Urban Morphology (Marzot, 2002).

Full textAbstract:
In 2021, Dordrecht, the oldest city in the Netherlands, will be commemorating the 600th anniversary of the St. Elizabeth flood. This disaster flood event inundated the entire Dordrecht and separated the city from Geertruidenberg. After the flood Dordrecht was left with only the old city center that the city had to reclaim their land. To date Dordrecht has remained an island surrounded by water. The city’s vulnerability to flooding have prompted the city to actively participate in climate adaptation strategies and innovative design methodologies to help the island city cope with changing climatic conditions. Dordrecht is one of the cities participating in the Room for the River project which allows vast tracks of land to be flooded in the event of a big flood. The city is also surrounded by dikes that protect parts of the city from any impending flood danger. Still the historic city center which lies in the unembanked area occasionally experience flooding. Every two to five years residents of Dordrecht especially in the old city center experience some low level flooding due to high waters and heavy rainfall. Yearly the city conducts a drill in the city center to train people on how to place flood barriers and sandbags in front of their homes. However, there is also a sense of complacency especially for the areas in the city where the structural measures were heavily constructed (those that are within the dike). This feeling of complacency may have been placed due to their strong belief that the city is indeed safe due to the structural measures that have been carefully integrated to ensure that flooding will never happen again. Memory-based disaster experience can be the starting point in building knowledge on disasters. Most often people who have experienced a disaster can provide experiential knowledge in dealing with disasters in the future. Further people who experience disasters on a more regular basis have more built in memory and knowledge. Using interviews from key stakeholders of Dordrecht, the paper will draw out how this memory-based disaster experience and living with water helps Dordrecht towards its vision to become a self-reliant island.

Full textAbstract:
This paper describes the use of electronic space in a fourth year undergraduate architectural design studio. It attempts to address the importance of developing a design process that is redefined by the use of computing, integrating concept and perception. This goal is set in the studio exercise, an international student design competition to design an addition to the school of architecture at the original Bauhaus/Weimar. The studio involved re-evaluating the Bauhaus principles of integrating the artist and the craftsman, but in contemporary or post-industrial terms. In 1989 the Wall came down. Seamless access of western telecommunications and media became greatly responsible for the crumbling of the rigid machine-age soviet technocracy; and with it, the former east German city of Weimar, home to the first Bauhaus, was once again a living part of architectural history. When the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture announced an international student competition to design a new addition to the school of architecture at the original Bauhaus/Weimar, we immediately decided that this should be an Electronic Bauhaus.

Between territories: Incremental changes to the domestic spatial interface between private and public domains. Agnieszka Wir-Konas¹, Kyung Wook Seo¹ ¹Department of Architecture and Built Environment, Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne. Newcastle City Campus, 2 Ellison Pl, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 8ST. E-mail: agnieszka.wir-konas@northumbria.ac.uk, kyung.seo@northumbria.ac.uk Keywords (3-5): building-street interface, incremental change, micro-morphology, private-public boundary, territory Conference topics and scale: Urban form and social use of space In this paper we investigate incremental changes to the relationship between private and public territory on the micro-morphological scale of the residential building-street interface. The building-street interface lies on the edge between two distinctively different spatial domains, the house and the street, and provides a buffer which may be adjusted to aid the transition from private to public territory. The structure of the space impacts both domains: it provides a fit transition from the private dwelling to the public territory, creates a space for probabilistic encounters between inhabitants and strangers, and maintains the liveability of the public street. The aim of this paper is threefold: Firstly, we recognise morphological differences in the structure of the interfaces and the way the transition from private to public territory was envisioned and designed in different societal periods. Secondly, we study incremental changes to the interface, representing individual adjustments to the private-public boundary, in order to recognize common types of adaptations to the existing structure of the interface. The history of changes to each individual building and building-street interface was traced by analysing planning applications and enforcements publicly provided by the city council. Lastly, we compare the capacity of each building-street interface to accommodate incremental change to the public-private transition. We argue that studying the incremental change of the interface and the capacity of each interface to accommodate micro-scale transformations aids in the understanding of the complex social relationship between an individual and a collective in the urban environment.
