Full textAbstract:
This article aims to present a new methodological protocol and a representation tool that articulates both space and time in understanding urban ambiances: temporal sections. The elaboration of this conceptual tool is based on a theoretical background dealing with the palimpsest of urban ambiances. The urban palimpsest is a metaphor underlying the dynamic of the formation process of the territory resulting from a temporal, spatial and social stratification that manifests in the lived experience. Combining urban transect, a geographical tool, and stratigraphy, a geological one, temporal sections represent the sensory experience as a palimpsest that integrates the different pasts and projects on the future. This tool provides a very specific way of immersion and opens new realm in constructing a storytelling; it proposes a rereading and writing the ambiance in depth.

Full textAbstract:
Developed within the context of public space studies, the proposition applies the concept of ambiance to urban micro-space as an alternate approach to urban studies, providing a contrasting perspective to other urban disciplinary methods. Ambiance is understood here as the emerging feature of the relationship between the uses of space and the (physical and sensory) built space as it becomes meaningful when used, inhabited and built by individuals. Introducing the concept of ambiance as used by authors such as Augoyard (2010) and Thibaud (2004), allows us to avoid the problem of comparing spaces that are different in form and scale, as it focuses on the relationship between constructed/sensory space and social use. A study of three sectors of the inner district of Santiago-Chile, which where renewed in three different moments of urban public policies, is proposed to illustrate this approach. The middle-class neighborhoods and their inhabitants are studied in a praxeological perspective, thus, the proposition aims to discern how space shapes its use and in return how use and practice redefine, shape and re-appropriate space.

Full textAbstract:
Urban design is a multifaceted process that interfaces various aspects, extending from community physical activity and health improvement to social and environmental fields. An efficient urban design requires understanding of ideas, paradigms, and research from many dimensions of knowledge, i.e. anthropology, sociology, engineering, architecture, and urban planning. The debate in this paper is based on the fact that the sociability of a society is dependent on its urban design prototype. A systemic urban design increases the opportunity for walkability, sequentially enhancing the probability of real-time social interaction. Such an urban ambiance plays a significant role in human physical and mental well-being and their behaviors. The aspects of urban space, such as sociability, walkability and overall ambiance, are appraised according to the published literature. This paper aims at collecting the already proven specifics in one piece of writing to open up avenues for further research and establish the inclusive aspects of urban design. The literature from the final decade of the 20th century to contemporary works has been considered for this instance. The research concludes that interdisciplinary engagement and participation of the public in decision-making for urban design are necessary. It recommends further exploration of the relationship of sociability, walkability and urban ambiance, and their correlation with human well-being.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of “ambiance” has been shaped over the years by questioning the interactions between three attractors: architecture and the city, climatic and sound phenomena, uses and perception. Studied in pairs, each of these attractors refers to very different disciplinary fields; architecture and phenomena concern the physics of the city, architecture and uses interest sociology and uses and phenomena are rather turned to comfort. Studies concerning ambiances are therefore highly interdisciplinary and raise many questions: living spaces, urban renewal and heritage, urban prospective and the city as a stage. For this, many conceptual and technical tools are mobilized: digital tools for simulation and immersion, investigation, surveys and storytelling, prototyping, field action. What may be new in the field of academic studies is the awareness of artistic creation as a resource for the use of digital tools, storytelling and the representation of complexity through original means.

Full textAbstract:
Creativity has in recent years received much attention from the research community, in relation to both technological innovation and knowledge spillovers. In the same vein, the concept of a creative class and of a creative city has gained a rising popularity. The present study aims to investigate the impacts of the urban “ambiance” on the spatial dispersion of heterogeneous types of creative people over different urban agglomerations. To that end, creative people are classified according to their profession or job class into Bohemians, creative core, and creative professionals. This article, then, seeks to relate the presence of each of these groups to the cultural ambiance of a given locality beside other moderator variables. Next, an econometric model is constructed and applied to explain the spatial distribution of creative professions in the Netherlands. Our study first maps out the spatial spread of these three creative classes in the Netherlands. Next, the shares of these creative classes are related to cultural, ecological, ethnic, and geographic characteristics of Dutch municipalities. Our results show that Bohemians and people belonging to the creative core exhibit a specific spatial pattern: they appear to be overrepresented in municipalities with a relative overconcentration of culture, nature, and ethnic diversity and with a short distance to job places.

Full textAbstract:
Ambiance provides scholarly value to historic architectural precincts and complexes. Through it, the built environment − a corpus of buildings − becomes an environment with its own unique narrative. It grants us the possibility of interacting with the atmosphere of the place as it was in the epoch. However, due to the nature of modern development, living historic cities are changing dynamically. To stay in use, and thus continue their scholastic mission, historic urban areas need to be integrated into local development through either within-use adaptation or conversion to new functions. For historic barrack complexes, this usually means extensive redevelopment. The difficulty comes from accommodating quotidian use while maintaining its historiographic values, especially with historically sensitive sites. This means the designers should take the legibility of the original complex into consideration in their designs and provide suitable aids to visitors. As it turns out there is not a universal approach, instead different approaches allow preservation of various degrees of the original ambiance.

Full textAbstract:
The research referred to in the article concerns the factors influencing the perception of ordinary sonic public space and everyday sounds. Sound perception parameters, such as vegetation or sound sources, are analysed in urban public spaces. This research, which is based on my PhD project, tries to understand how urban people perceive their sonic environment and try to contribute to sonic ambiance knowledge. The research is based on a qualitative investigation conducted among 29 people. It is, on the one hand, based on questionnaires and focus groups in situ and, on the other hand, on individual interviews (in-depth interviews, sonic mind maps), and it illustrates different parameters (temporal, spatial, sensitive and individual) that influence a person’s assessment of the sound environment. This qualitative investigation is correlated with acoustic measures in two seasons. The results show, among other things, the impact of vegetation and urban fittings on sonic perception, and they underline the influence of city planning and urban fittings on sound perception in public urban spaces.

Full textAbstract:
Cette recherche interroge les enjeux heuristiques et opérationnels de la vidéo dans la pratique de l'urbanisme. Pour ce faire, elle opère une rencontre entre la notion d'ambiances architecturales et urbaines, telle qu'elle est développée au CRESSON, et les concepts d'image-mouvement et d'image-temps développés par Deleuze. Puis elle propose de rendre cette rencontre effective dans le cadre de la pratique de l'urbanisme à travers le compositing numérique, technique de manipulation des images animées.L'hypothèse qui guide cette recherche est qu'il est possible de définir une image-composite capable de faire valoir et de mettre en débat des phénomènes d'ambiances spécifiques aux territoires étudiés. Cette hypothèse se formalise autour de deux corpus, le premier est issu d'une pratique artistique de la vidéo qui motiva la mise en place de ce projet de thèse, le deuxième est issu d'une pratique de la vidéo en agence d'urbanisme qui s'effectua tout au long de cette recherche.Ce travail permet de valoriser la vidéo comme support de connaissance d'un côté et comme posture de projet de l'autre. Support de connaissance, car la vidéo offre la possibilité de renouveler l'approche phénoménologique en vigueur dans le champ des ambiances par une appréhension des phénomènes sensibles dans le temps de leur actualisation. Posture de projet, car la vidéo est susceptible de reconfigurer les modalités relationnelles en œuvre dans les dynamiques d'analyse et de conception de l'espace et du territoireThis research questions the heuristic and operational issues of the video in the practice of urban planning. To do this, it operates a meeting between the notion of architectural and urban environments, as developed in Cresson, with image-mouvement and image-temps concepts developed by Deleuze. Then it proposes to give effect to this meeting in the practice of urban planning through digital compositing, technical handling of moving images.The hypothesis guiding this research is that it is possible to define a image-composite able to argue and to debate specific environments territories studied phenomena. This assumption is formalized around two corpus, the first comes from an artistic practice of video that motivated the development of this thesis, the second is from a practice of video in urban planning agency was carried out throughout this research.This work adds value to the video as knowledge media on one side and posture as a project of the other. Support for knowledge, because video offers the possibility of renewing the phenomenological approach in force in the atmospheres of the field by a sensitive understanding of phenomena in time of updating. Project posture, because the video is likely to reconfigure relational modalities implemented in dynamic analysis and design of the space and territory

Full textAbstract:
Notre recherche porte sur « plages urbaines spontanées » des villes non balnéaires, à savoir, les espaces publics contemporains où les citadins adoptent des comportements habituellement réservés à la plage, dans des lieux a priori non aménagés à cette fin. En effet, dans un contexte où le loisir et l’oisiveté détiennent une place grandissante dans la vie des citadins, certains lieux, par leur ambiance et leurs caractéristiques spatiales et sensibles, invitent à l’arrêt et deviennent les espaces privilégiés du relâchement et du dévoilement des corps. Ces situations de plages urbaines inattendues, émergeant dans certains espaces publics urbains contemporains, souvent au bord de l’eau et permettant aux citadins de se relâcher et d’exposer leurs corps au soleil, au sol, au vent et à l’altérité, sans que le lieu ne soit aménagé à l’image d’une plage, sont peu étudiées. Notre travail de thèse porte sur le phénomène de plage urbaine spontanée prenant place dans le milieu urbain. L’objectif de notre recherche est de comprendre la manière dont l’architecture appréhende le besoin d’éprouver le dépaysement en ville, en discernant les conditions spatiales et ambiantales entourant l’existence d’une situation de plage urbaine. Nous nous attachons également à identifier les conditions temporelles, socioculturelles et sensibles qui définissent celle-ciOur research focuses on “spontaneous urban beaches” in non-seaside towns, i.e., contemporary public spaces in which citizens behave in a way usually reserved for the beach, in places that are not a priori adapted to this end. Indeed, in a context where entertainment and idleness are playing a growing role in citizens’ life, certain places, due to their ambiance or their spatial and sensitive characteristics, invite them to pause. They become privileged spaces for the relaxation and uncovering of bodies in copresence.These unexpected beach situations appear in certain contemporary urban public spaces, often near water, and they allow citizens to relax and expose their bodies to the sun, the ground, the wind and others in places that have not been planned to this end. Such situations are little studied. This thesis work deals with the phenomenon of spontaneous urban beaches taking place in urban areas. This research aims to understand the way architecture apprehends the need to experience a change of scenery in the city by perceiving the spatial and ambient conditions surrounding the existence of these situations.We will also identify the temporal, sociocultural and sensitive conditions that define them

Cui, Junjing. "Plastiques urbaines, entre paysage et culture : recherche sur les aménagements urbains intégrant l’art dans l’espace public des villes de la province du Guangdong, Chine." Thesis, Paris 10, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA100059.
Full textAbstract:
Dans un contexte de développement urbain en pleine vitesse de la province du Guangdong (au sud de la Chine), notamment de sa capitale Guangzhou, la transformation paysagère rapide et radicale nous incite à nous interroger sur les relations entre la société et l’environnement, les habitants et les lieux de vie, l’art et la ville. Face aux enjeux politiques et économiques liés aux mutations urbaines, quelle est la place et l’action de l’art sur l’aménagement de la ville? Sous quelles formes et de quelles manières l’art s’y intègre-t-il? Avec les interventions artistiques dans l’espace public, l’artiste est-il capable de rétablir, in situ, la communication réciproque entre les habitants et les lieux ? Quelles sont les approches et les modalités envisageables pour répondre à ces questions?Vu qu’il y a de nombreux bâtiments occidentaux construits à Guangzhou depuis une trentaine d’années, qui font face aux sculptures traditionnelles chinoises qui ne correspondent pas au style occidental, comment peut-on trouver les voies intermédiaires réconciliant deux polarités – la forme moderne occidentalisée et l’esprit traditionnel cantonais – dans la création de la sculpture urbaine ? Il devient nécessaire de reconstruire une version moderne de l’ancien système en proposant une forme urbaine locale contemporaine utilisant les savoirs-faires traditionnels des artisans qui dépasseraient la dissonance entre contexte architectural occidentalisé et sculpture régionale cantonaiseIn a context of urban development at full speed in Guangdong (South of China), especially its capital Guangzhou, the rapid and radical transformation of landscapes raises a number of questions about the relationship between societies and their environment, the local peoples and the living places, art and the city. Faced with political and economic issues related to urban change, what is the role and work of art on the city layout? In what forms and in what ways the art it does integrity? With artistic interventions in public space, the artist is capable of restoring it in situ, mutual communication between people and places? What approaches and possible ways to address these issues?Since there are many western buildings built in Guangzhou last thirty years, face to face traditional Chinese sculptures that do not fit the Western style, how can we find the subchannels reconciling two polarities - the modern westernized form and the traditional Cantonese spirit - in the creation of urban sculpture? It therefore becomes necessary to rebuild a modern version of the old system by providing a local contemporary urban form using the traditional skills of artisans who exceed the dissonance between westernized architectural context and Cantonese regional sculpture

Motta, Caroline. "Villes nouvelles métropolitaines du XXe siècle dans le monde : observation, représentations et identité des paysages urbains." Thesis, Paris 4, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA040130.
Full textAbstract:
La multiplication de l’alternative d’aménagement « ville nouvelle » à proximité des métropoles au XXe siècle dans le monde, laisse a priori croire à la reproduction d’un archétype urbain, la « cité-jardin » et a posteriori, attendre une évolution vers un prototype propre au XXIe siècle. Ces postulats incitent à un approfondissement sur la forme existante et l’image reflétée : quel paysage urbain fabriqué et à fabriquer. En ce sens, cette thèse de doctorat permet d’exploiter le binôme « ville nouvelle/paysage urbain ».De l’observation à la qualification, l’analyse s’appuie sur les pratiques traditionnelles des précurseurs du townscape (lectures pittoresque et morphologique, analyse séquentielle, silhouette, inventaire urbain), par le biais d’images fixes (photographies) et d’images en mouvement (vidéo) recueillies en France, Chine, Pays-Bas, Finlande, États-Unis et Angleterre. Les composantes de l’aménagement sont développées selon quatre thématiques : le(s) centre(s) ville(s), le tissu minéral (de la mobilité), le tissu de nature, et le « tissu vertical » ou membrane architecturale. Face au constat du manque de renouvellement dans l’interprétation graphique du paysage, une représentation prenant en compte l’expérience sensible de type « carte d’identité » est encouragée. Pluridisciplinaire, achronique et internationale, notre recherche confirme l’identité conceptuelle de la « ville nouvelle métropolitaine » du XXe siècle en s’écartant de l’idée de modèle urbain ; elle reconnait au paysage ses qualités in-transposables et sa capacité de levier dans l’aménagement du territoire ; elle accentue le rôle de l’esthétique urbaine contribuant au plaisir des « villeneuviens »The proliferation of new towns as an alternative development near the metropolis in the 20th Century in the world, a priori suggests the reproduction of an urban archetype, the “garden city”, a posteriori a change towards a specific 21st Century prototype might be expected. These assumptions encourage a deepening of the existing form and of its reflected image: what type of townscape built and yet to be built. The present doctoral thesis enables us to take advantage of the binomial “new town/townscape”.From observation to qualification, the analysis is based on the precursors of townscape's traditional practices: picturesque survey, serial vision, skyline, urban inventory and morphological reading. The methodology operates mainly through still images (photographs) and moving images (video) collected through fieldwork in France, China, the Netherlands, Finland, the USA and England.The major components of the “metropolitan new towns” development are presented along four themes: multipolarity or town-center(s), mineral fabric or mobility weft, natural fabric and “vertical fabric” or “architectural membrane”. Considering the lack of renewal in the graphic interpretation of townscapes, a representation such as an “Identity Map”, which expresses a more sensitive experience, is proposed.This multidisciplinary, achronic and international research confirms the facial identity of the “metropolitan new town” of the 20th Century, downplaying the notion of an urban model. It recognizes in the townscape both non-transferable qualities and a leveraging potential for territorial development. It emphasizes the role of urban aesthetics in contributing to the pleasure of new town residents

Full textAbstract:
Le sol en tant que support de la vie urbaine est encore peu pensé par la recherche architecturale et urbaine. Dans un monde où la concurrence entre villes se joue entre autres sur la qualité des espaces publics, il est pourtant un élément essentiel des usages pédestres. Le pied le foule, l’œil le fait entrer dans l’horizon perceptif sans qu’on s’y attarde, et sans qu’une recherche approfondie nous en ait montré toutes les dimensions sensibles.Après un rappel historique des enjeux de l’aménagement du sol urbain, nous nous penchons sur la façon dont celui-ci est très tôt intégré dans la structuration de l’expérience vécue par tout un chacun, notamment lors de l’apprentissage de la marche. Le sol est une donnée première de l’environnement et joue un rôle dans la formation de l’équilibre, du sens de la proprioception. Il participe ainsi à l’arrière-plan corporel de l’expérience, en même temps qu’il est une surface d’échanges. En matière d’architecture et d’urbanisme, nous faisons l’hypothèse que le sol fait partie du fond de l’ambiance : il contribue à l’arrière-plan ambiantal de l’expérience sensorielle des espaces publics. Pour avancer sur ces hypothèses, trois corpus sont constitués : le premier, à partir d’une écoute réactivée de vingt sons enregistrés à Paris, analyse la part du sol dans la qualité sonore de l’ambiance vécue ; le second, issu d’observations et de relevés vidéo sur deux terrains comparés à Barcelone et La Défense, permet d’évoquer les relations entre topographie et mobilité ; le troisième, issu de l’expérimentation de dix parcours commentés effectués les yeux fermés sur une partie du site de La Défense, tente d’approcher l’expérience somatique dans le rapport au sol : comment se joue la relation entre le sol et le « soma » ? Pour conclure, nous discutons les apports réciproques entre Ambiances et Somatiques, deux disciplines au cœur desquelles le sentir est exploré. Que peuvent apporter les somatiques aux ambiances en terme de méthode d’étude, du point de vue théorique et pour l’approche du projet ?The ground as a support for urban life remains a largely understudied topic in architectural and urban research. In a world where towns compete to offer a better quality of public spaces, pedestrian use is considered as an essential aspect. Felt underfoot and seen on the perceptual horizon without being consciously considered, very little in-depth research has revealed its sentient dimensions.After some brief historical considerations on the importance of urban ground, the study focuses on how the ground is integrated into the lived experience of our environment, beginning with how we learn to walk. The ground is a fundamental dimension and plays an essential role in keeping balance and creating a sense of proprioception. It participates as a basis for bodily experience by providing a surface of exchange. In terms of architecture and urban design, this study posits the ground as part of the ambiance as it constitutes the ambient background of the sensory experience of public spaces. In order to develop this hypothesis three case studies are considered: the first, based on a reactivated listening of twenty sounds recorded in Paris to provide an analysis of the role that the ground plays in experiencing the ambiance; the second, a comparative set of observations and video recordings taken in two sites in Barcelona and La Défense in Paris; the third, is based on ten blind-folded commented walks carried out at La Défense. It tries to examine what the somatic experience of the ground entails, how does the relationship between the ground and the “soma” take place? In conclusion, the reciprocal contributions of Ambiances and Somatics are considered in relation to this material as we ask what new theoretical approaches these disciplines can provide in exploring body experience

Full textAbstract:
Pour définir le cadre de vie, on emploie souvent le terme d'ambiance, une ambiance faisant référence à un ensemble psycho-culturel complexe. Pour les acteurs du projet, maitriser une ambiance, c'est agir sur les phénomènes physiques et comprendre les facteurs sociaux. La problématique de la représentation des ambiances interroge la prise en compte par le concepteur des phénomènes climatiques et sonores dans le projet architectural et urbain. Cette prise en compte repose sur une bonne connaissance des interactions entre le milieu architectural et les phénomènes physiques, et la conscience de l'existence de ces interactions par les usagers. La figuration de ces interactions doit permettre de mieux conceptualiser le projet dans l'espace et le temps, en traduisant une globalité propre à un lieu. Cette globalité oriente la compréhension du projet. La représentation des ambiances, par son aspect descriptif et analytique, intéresse les phases préliminaires du projet. Son aspect transversal, incluant aussi bien des données esthétiques, d'usages et techniques ; elle suggère la naissance, dans le suivi du projet, d'un nouveau type d'intervenant. Le travail porte comme sous-titre, introduction à une pédagogie des ambiances. Cette pédagogie est destinée à tous les acteurs du projet, aux architectes pour qu'ils prennent en compte plus globalement les phénomènes climatiques, les ingénieurs, pour qu'ils maitrisent mieux le relativisme de la perception, les élus et les services, pour que leur demande soit mieux affinée grâce à l'élaboration d'un cadre de références et les étudiants pour délimiter des repères théoriques.

Full textAbstract:
L'objectif de ce travail est de développer l'intégration des critères sensibles au sein d'outils d'aide à la conception sonore des espaces urbains. Les acteurs du projet urbain doivent en effet répondre à une double contrainte : l'obligation de respecter des seuils réglementaires et l'insatisfaction croissante de la population. En outre, la connaissance des critères les plus pertinents du point de vue perceptif permet d'enrichir la description des modèles et d'exprimer qualitativement les résultats donnés par l'outil de simulation pour une situation sonore particulière. Nous avons procédé à des enquêtes et des mesures acoustiques in situ en diverses situations urbaines. Les résultats présentent en premier lieu les traitements linguistiques et statistiques d'enquêtes auprès de passants et d'habitants. L'analyse des réponses verbales met en évidence deux attitudes perceptives face à une même situation sonore : l'une est descriptive et manifeste l'identification d'événements sonores ; l'autre traduit une écoute holistique ou l'activité de l'usager est sa principale préoccupation. .The aim of the present work is to propose parameters of sound perception to fulfil new simulation tools for urban planning. In fact, the urban planners should answer two restraints : the obligation to respect the strict regulations and the increasing of population complaints. .

Full textAbstract:
Cette recherche s'inscrit dans la lignée des travaux sur les ambiances architecturales et urbaines. Elle se propose de tester des modèles morphodynamiques générant des représentations de phénomènes sensibles par synthèse numérique. Une confrontation entre l'observation in situ de ces phénomènes et les représentations sonores et visuelles issues de la synthèse est alors rendue possible. L'expérimentation numérique permet un retour à l'observation et à la catégorisation de phénomènes sensibles. Le modèle physique peut ainsi être utilisé comme un outil de reconstruction d'effets et par là même d'aide à la conception. Deux exemples qui, de façon récurrente, émergent dans l'espace public urbain sont développés : les dynamiques de conduites piétonnières et les effets sonores. À partir des notions d'expérience, de processus et de relation, nous verrons comment il peut être possible de passer d'une pensée de la forme à une pensée du mouvement. Cette recherche s'est réalisée dans le cadre d'une collaboration entre le CRESSON [Centre de recherche sur l'espace sonore et l'environnement urbain] et l'ACROE [Association sur la Création et la Recherche sur les Outils d'Expression].

Full textAbstract:
Partant d'une considération sur le paysage configuré au quotidien par les pratiques individuelles et collectives qu'il accueille et qui lui donnent forme, ce travail de thèse en architecture s'intéresse à la transformation ordinaire des lieux et interroge les manières dont nous pouvons l'appréhender pour penser leur devenir. Comment prendre en compte la dynamique de l'ambiance pour penser la conception d'un lieu ? Cette recherche interroge dans ce sens la portée du film (comme médium, comme pratique et dans sa réception) dans ce qu'il permet de comprendre de la transformation ordinaire des lieux. Il s'agit ainsi de questionner les potentialités des images audiovisuelles quant à la perception, la représentation et la conception partagée d'espaces publics urbains. En quoi et comment le film peut-il permettre de saisir les états et transitions des relations entre espace et corps percevants autant que pratiquants ? Pour cela, un protocole méthodologique croisé, à l'écoute d'une hétérogénéité des usages du film dans la compréhension et la constitution du fait urbain, a donné lieu à la construction et à l'analyse de quatre corpus de travail : 1. Recueil et sélection de films existants ; 2. Observation et suivi d'une mission vidéo dans un cadre opérationnel ; 3. Réalisation d'un film de commande ; 4. Expérimentation pédagogique auprès d'étudiants en architecture. Ces quatre corpus considèrent à plusieurs égards la problématique de la fabrication de films : statut et enjeu du recours au film, engagement dans le terrain (dans l'espace, le temps et la relation à l'Autre) par la pratique filmique, postures filmiques et rapports au monde. Notre recherche soulève, dans un second temps, la question de la réception filmique. C'est ainsi à partir d'une expérience d'audio-vision collective que le film devient le support d'un dialogue entre différents interlocuteurs conviés à mettre en partage et en débat leurs expériences. La pluralité des registres mis au travail au cours de la réception des films et de leur discussion (à savoir le sensible, le perceptif, l'interprétatif, le critique et le créatif) devient le support à l'élaboration d'un commun. De ces considérations sur la portée du film émerge en toile de fond l'importance du sensible et de l'improvisation collective dans l'appréhension et la conception de l'espace public urbainStarting from a consideration of the landscape, as it is configured daily by individual and collective practices which are supported by the landscape and from which the landscape is being shaped, this PhD thesis in architecture focuses on the ordinary transformation of places and questions the ways through which we can understand it in order to think out the becoming of these places. How can we take into account the dynamic of the ambiance in order to think about the design of a place? In that perspective, this research questions the scope of film (as a medium, as a practice and in its reception): what does filming allow us to understand of the ordinary transformation of places? This work investigates the potential of audiovisual images in terms of perception, representation and shared designing of urban public spaces. How can film facilitate the understanding of the states and transitions of the relationship between space and bodies – considering that bodies perceive and act at the same time? In order to study that question, a specific methodological protocol, open to heterogeneous uses of film for the understanding and the designing of cities, was worked out. It led us to the analysis of four frameworks: 1. Collecting and selecting existing films; 2. Observing a video project within the context of an urban study; 3. Filmmaking; 4. Experimenting film practice with architecture students. These four frameworks address the question of filmmaking in different ways: status and stakes of the use of film, involvement in fieldwork through film practice (involvement in space, in time and in relation with others), film postures and relations to the world. Secondly, our research raises the question of film reception. It is, then, from a collective experience of reception that film becomes the base of a dialogue between people who are invited to share and debate about their own experiences. The plurality of registers coming from the film reception and its discussion (what is sensible, perceptive, interpretive, critical and creative) becomes the base to work out a common design. From these considerations of the scope of film, it appears in the background that the sensible register and collective improvisations are of paramount importance in the understanding and designing of urban public spaces

Full textAbstract:
Urban-oriented sensory analysis has a long tradition within the social sciences. However, in communication and cultural studies research, the sensorial orientation is still incipient. This publication is part of an ongoing call by Passeio, the platform for the study of art and urban culture of the Communication and Society Research Centre, for an organicist vision of the city, underlining the need to re-signify the role of the senses in the experience of everyday contemporary urban life. This book includes theoretical and/or empirical contributions from researchers in sociology, communication and cultural studies, who explore three fundamental questions: (a) the effects of the tourist era under the COVID-19 pandemic, (b) the role of music in the production of places and socialities; and (c) the importance of ambiances in the constitution of a carnal relationship with the city.

Productivity is the key measure of success and efficiency of any process or activity, and it is dependent on a number of factors. The ambiance of cities and the use of latest technology and environment also affect the productivity of the residents working in the city. The objective of this chapter is to identify the attributes of urban ambiance from the literature review and to analyse the impact of satisfactory urban/city ambiance on the productivity of the built environment. The methodology adopted for the study is to collect the data using a structured questionnaire survey on the impact of urban ambiance on the productivity form the different cities of the world. The collected data shall be analysed using reliability analysis, relative importance index, exploratory factor analysis, and cluster analysis. The finding of the study shall provide an understanding of urban ambiance on the productivity of the built environment and the ways and means to improve the situation.

Full textAbstract:
All over the world, lots of challenges are affecting the urban development of spaces in the cities, especially spaces attached to the heritage site. It provides various ambiances that touch the senses of the users. Although the attached public space to heritage sites is full of rich, deep knowledge and plays an active role in the community, it was neglected. Those spaces contribute to the entrenchment of culture and social heritage of the community to let future generations get benefit from it. In this chapter, the researchers theorize the “critical placemaking” with creative ambiance as a tool for successful attached to public spaces. This has been drawn from key concepts in environmental psychology of the users such as physical environment, atmosphere, and services environment. The proposed framework seeks to theorize the processes of placemaking and its key concepts and how it helps in the preservation process. The argument that the placemaking process needs a creative ambiance, which contributes to transforming community narratives and that space, becomes more inclusive.

Full textAbstract:
As the Industrial Revolution took place and steam driven machines emerged in the 18th century, the Industrial Age began and cities became the core of industrial and populational growth. That phenomena occurred as the job opportunities and quality of life increasingly developed away from the countryside, with the arrival of electricity and inventions such as the light bulb, thanks to important people like Sir Joseph Swan and Thomas Edison. The city, therefore, can be looked in two different ways: the urban space, occupied with tangible elements, and the social environment, filled with urban practices and cohabitation. An essential matter in many disciplines, the city is a recurrent topic for researchers who seek to understand this phenomenon of human activities. The history behind the rise of the cities show tell us about the creation of urban spaces and its manifestations, functions, transformations and the complexity inherent to the various typologies in cities all over the world. The city is a scenario full of overlapping messages that characterize the accessibility and urban communication. This is defined by Nojima (1999) as the result of the interaction between social representations and the scenario where they occur. It is through the interpretation of these messages that are manifested in the urban design accessible from cities (streets, buildings, gardens, squares, furnitures), that the individual defines the elements that identify their city. This paper discovery the concepts of city and their accessibility relationships with urban practices - design of urban activity - that directly influence the implementation of urban furniture and, above all, the importance given to them by the population, with regard to its true functions (adequacy, accessibility, ergonomics, identity and others) of their uses and appropriations. It is important for the study also understand the urban furniture relation with the project of cities - is to complement the public space or the way how interferes the urban landscape. It is need to understand how society is shown in front of herself and the world itself that surrounds and what are the affective devices that make city living when connected - through the use - therefore, this is the powerfull forces of individuals and community , space practices created by the tactics of the population to allow theirs ambiance, wellness, safety and comfort, sensations often perceived by the set of elements that constitute the urban furniture of cities.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/IFDP.2016.3291
