Abstract:
This article discusses how urban life is represented through the Barsa City, Uttara the Icon, and The Palace apartment advertisements and promotional videos. Applying Guy Debord's idea of spectacle to examine how urban life is transformed into visualization and commodification, also George Ritzer’s idea of re-enchantment of the disenchanted world and the new means of consumption. This article is aimed to analyze the position of apartments in the urban space of Yogyakarta that is discursively constructed through apartment promotional media. The conclusion of this research shows that apartments are functionalized to create the spectacle of the city. Urban space and life are aestheticized and spectacularized, in which apartments are displayed as part of dramatic and extravagant urban arts. Presented as one-stop-serving buildings, the apartments also promote the fusion of living space, urban style experience, and consumption which lead to the difficulty in distinguishing spatial boundaries. The advertisements and promotional videos of the apartment in Yogyakarta also promote temporal paradox. On the one hand, it promotes time compression and speed, meanwhile, on the other hand it promotes prolonged and extended time to foster consumption in the urban space.

Abstract:
Apartments were crucial solutions to provide sufficient dwellings and to improve residential environment quality in the period after the Korean War. Thirty years after the first rush of apartment construction, many of those apartments have been demolished. However, several small-scale apartment complexes or single-building apartments without collective estates were not included in reconstruction efforts due to property, ownership, and reconstruction feasibility issues. Four such apartments remain in the Seoul Station Urban Regeneration Area. Although they are considered severely deteriorated, their architectural, historical, and cultural heritage values warrant inclusion in the Seoul Future Heritage list. From the perspective of urban regeneration, these apartments should be targeted for revitalization not only to preserve their originality but to improve the quality of sustainable building conditions and operations. In this study, we examine Choongjeong Apartment, Hoehyeon Civic Apartment, St.Joseph Apartment, and Seosomun Apartment in terms of balance among six heritage values and their improvement needs, as well as possible revitalization strategies that support sustainable urban regeneration in the area. We argue that their physical conditions can be brought up to applicable building codes, if financial support is forthcoming and numerous decision-makers allow. However, sustainable revitalization of apartments requires examination of factors affecting adaptive reuse. Through a literature and data collection review within an analysis framework, we analyze factors and issues for adaptive reuse of the four apartments. It is expected that the findings of this paper will provide insight into the role of various actors determining and taking actions for strategic physical interventions and change of uses.

Abstract:
This study analyzes apartment building configurations in waterfront residential areas relative to water flow direction and assesses the waterfront impact on apartment construction planning. It surveyed 197 apartment buildings around Yangjaecheon, Gulpocheon, and Anyangcheon, three branches of the Han River, a major South Korean river, to ascertain the correlation between stream flows and apartment building configurations. The apartments were classified into four spatial-configuration categories relative to the adjacent stream’s flow axis—perpendicular, parallel, diagonal, and other—and three orientation categories—east- and/or west-facing, south-facing, and other. South-facing apartments were predominant around west- and north-flowing streams. The proportion of east- and/or west-facing apartments built and the percentage of south-facing apartments were relatively low, indicating that apartment building layouts are more diverse around north-flowing streams than around west-flowing streams. A t-test analysis of east- and south-facing apartments’ proportions relative to stream flow direction was statistically significant, and there were relatively higher percentages of east- and west-facing apartments near north-flowing streams than west-flowing ones. This suggests that the relationship with rivers is still important in urban housing in South Korea, and the importance of landscapes over the river is of increasing significance for planning urban settlements.

Abstract:
Abstract Over the past decades rapid population growth in urban areas has promoted the development of high-density housing such as high-rise apartments. In order to properly supply water to this growing sector, it is essential to understand the determinants of its water use. However, this task has largely remained unexplored through the empirical study of water demand mainly due to the scarcity of data in this sector. Using a rich source of GIS-based urban databases in Auckland, New Zealand, this study integrated apartment water consumption, property characteristics, weather, water pricing and census microdata to overcome this issue. This study also compared high-rise apartment water use and its determinants with low-rise apartments. Through applying panel data models, the study revealed that, similar to the low-rise apartments, household size is the most important determinant of high-rise apartment water use in Auckland, where other socioeconomic factors, building features, water pricing and weather variables were not significant determinants. The study also showed that the per capita water consumption in the high-rise apartments in Auckland was higher than in the low-rise apartments, challenging the assumption underlying contemporary urban policy that densifying the central city areas can offer significant savings in water use.

Abstract:
The purpose of the article is to investigate the development of a new segment of the real estate market in urban development projects. The definition of a mini apartment - the gostinka. The analysis of the world market of mini-apartments is carried out. There are questions of living of different social groups in society in mini-apartments. A classification of mini-apartments has been developed. Factors significantly affect the cost of a mini-apartment. Conclusions are made about the future market of mini-apartments in the city economy The development of the market of mini-apartments can be considered as a new social phenomenon. Many social groups have access to the purchase of a mini-apartment. The residential real estate market is in a difficult stage now. The economic crisis has had a strong impact on stakeholders. The market of mini-apartments in Ukraine is a new and currently unexplored social phenomenon. The market of mini-apartments is of great importance for urban development and has high uncertainty in further development. Therefore, the development of the market of mini-apartments poses many problems for urban development in the future Today in Ukraine in the real estate market of Kharkiv increased activity in such a segment of real estate as mini-apartments. The results of the research show that the cost range of 1 sq.m. for such objects is very large and ranges from 300 to 1000 US dollars. Which is 2 times lower than the average market prices for typical apartments. Let's analyze the primary and secondary markets of mini-apartments. The houses in which the mini-apartments are located can be characterized. Mini-apartments in reconstructed houses are of great interest to stakeholders. Here they are much lower than their cost. Mini-apartments are now actively bought by the following social groups and categories of people. Mini-apartments in reconstructed houses are of great interest to stakeholders. Here they are much lower than their cost. The classification of mini-apartments was carried out according to the parameters that significantly affect the prices in the studied segment. They can increase or decrease the market value of such real estate. The price is significantly affected by such a parameter as the ratio of total and living space. The author proposes factors that affect the cost of mini-apartments. Thus, in Ukraine, the market of mini-apartments (hotels) arose and developed due to the unstable economic situation, the devaluation of the hryvnia and declining incomes. Today, renting apartments is expensive, so mini-apartments are the best option for affordable housing. Many people buy mini-apartments as temporary housing. This segment of real estate has a fairly high profitability for investors. The cost of 1 sq m of mini apartments depends on the investment attractiveness of the regional center. Market research and excellent characteristics of mini-apartments. In large cities of Ukraine, especially in Kyiv and Kharkiv, the number of mini-apartments under construction is growing. The analysis of the market showed that such apartments are in demand among stakeholders today. Factors increasing demand for mini-apartments. Conclusions. 1. The researched market of small-sized housing can be considered as a new social phenomenon in large cities of Ukraine. The question of a new segment of the real estate market in urban development projects is highly relevant 2. In Ukraine, the market of mini-apartments (hotels) has emerged and is developing due to the unstable economic situation, the devaluation of the hryvnia and declining incomes. The cost of 1 square meter of mini-apartments depends on the investment attractiveness of the regional center. 3. The whole market of mini-apartments (hotels) in large cities of Ukraine is actively developing. In Kharkov, in most cases, buy small apartments for further rent. Keywords: real estate market, mini apartment, gostinka, studio, classification of mini apartments, social groups in society, factors influencing the value, municipal economy.

On the example of modern development of multi-apartment residential complexes, the article studies the quality parameters of the living environment depending on the planning characteristics of the apartments, the number of rooms in the apartment and the percentage ratio of small-sized one-room apartments and studios in relation to multi-room apartments in the complex. Negative characteristics of the layout of apartments are identified on the basis of the POE (post-occupancy evaluation) concept. Taking into account the efficiency coefficient of apartments, the most optimal layout options are determined. The article studies the qualitative parameters of the residential environment associated with a certain degree of risks. It analyses and proposes the parameters of the optimal percentage ratio of different types of apartments in the complex for the formation of a sustainable housing system.

Abstract The process of real property valuation by usage of income approaches is significantly affected by capitalization rate. This article deals with problematic of the capitalization rate determination in the real estate segment of apartments in the Ostrava city. It primarily aims to calculate the level of gross capitalization rate according to different urban localities of Ostrava, for various sizes of apartments, as well depending on the type of apartment ownership. The analysis of the real estate market is an important part of the research. It is focused on the offer of apartments from the perspective of market apartments for sale and also of market apartments for rent. The analyzed and calculated spatial values distributions are consequently processed into cartographic outputs.

Abstract:
Air exchange in tall apartment buildings is critical in controlling indoor environments in urban settings. Airtightness is relevant to energy efficiency, thermal comfort and air quality experienced by urban dwellers who spend much of their time indoors. While many air change measurements have been made in residential homes, fewer are available for high-rise apartments. The blower-door and CO2 exchange methods were used to measure air change in some Hong Kong apartment buildings, for comparison with those from other parts of the world. Hong Kong apartments are often small and typical rented apartments show a median of seven air changes per hour under a 50 Pa pressure difference, similar to Mediterranean houses, though much greater than the airtight buildings of Northern Europe. Extrapolation of blower-door measurements made at 50 Pa to the natural pressure difference measured for individual Hong Kong apartments provides an approximation (within 8%) of the natural air change rate measured with a tracer. Air flow is a function of the pressure difference ∆Pnf and the exponent n was found close to the typical 0.6. There was a positive relationship between air permeability and construction age, but some of this also seems to reflect varying levels of maintenance by the building management companies. The median exchange in the apartments under naturally ventilated conditions was 0.26 h−1, not atypical of some houses on the US West Coast.

Experiential living is the new trend for future living. Whether it is through living in micro spaces, flexible units, mixed-use developments, practicing urban farming, or sharing lifestyles, these different trends of living intersects at the overlapping theme of experiential living. At the same time, Seoul is facing a final wave of 'retirement age' of the first generation of post-war urban housing apartments. Instead of the typical scrap-and-build urban renewal method (the culprit of the formation of 'apartment city', with over 60% of housing stock as apartments), is there an alternate method of urban redevelopment? This thesis investigates idea of small-scale urban renewal by integrating the idea of 'experiential slow living' in the existing low-rise, enclosed apartment community. Can this idea of transforming the ground level experience with slow food (productive landscapes) and slow craft (mixed-use living and shared spaces) become the alternative model for urban renewal that can be practiced throughout the city of apartments?

Abstract:
Housing is one of the most fundamental subjects of architecture, not just for the basic purpose of shelter, but for the place where vitality can be transcended to the people living in them. 'Housing' rather than 'house' marks the intersection between architecture and urban design and the simultaneous existence of the individual and collective. Housing is also a form of material culture. As such, it cannot be understood without studying the cultural and economic conditions of its production. - Rem Koolhaas, 'Conversations with students' With the gradual change in family structure, housing accommodations would be smaller as the family size reduces, however, common open space and active recreation of all types would be enlarged. This would be a greater opportunity to integrate urban with suburban environments - the town's cultural and employment opportunities would be within easy access to the countryside and to nature. "Architecture is an art filled with contradictions. The more we learned about these contradictions in architecture, the more they translate these contradictions into an antitheses; between discipline and freedom, between technology and environment, between modernity and tradition. But....discipline sets limits to freedom, yet it is also its container, the thing that gives it form. These two elements coexist and interact." - Herman Hertzberger, 'Lessons for students in Architecture' The meaning of space can be clarified as dualities; between public and private, light and shadow, positive and negative, horizontal and vertical, man-made and nature, and denotative and connotative. Space is transformed into characteristic place through these changes, layers and sequences of movement. It would undoubtedly guide urban growth toward a more humane living environment which can recover community space set against stereotypical architecture.

Abstract:
Urban Interventions are too often regarded by long-time inhabitants of city neighborhoods as a means to displace them from their homes to make room for expensive chain stores and exclusive residential buildings - gentrification. This view is unfortunately correct more often than not. An intervention should instead aim to improve the physical environment, public space. It will allow equal access to all residents. The street will shift from automobile centered to people-centered. The introduction of vegetation to the urban environment in an intervention not only improves air and water quality and reduces urban heat, but offers long lasting positive effects on the general well-being of residents by providing psychological relief. The forms that shape this urban intervention will take the above mentioned items into consideration, and in addition possess qualities that spur interactions that shape memory of the place. Undulations, extrusions that provide shade and shelter, bridging features - allow an urban scene to unfold. Careful placement of vertical planes will provide a sense of enclosure and a place for respite from the hectic activity beyond.

Abstract:
This thesis argues that the significance of apartments in Sydney's urban history has not been recognised due to a cultural resistance to apartment living. This lack of acknowledgement has masked the urban, social and architectural impact of the apartment building type in Sydney's history. As an interdisciplinary reading of the development of the purpose-built apartment building in Sydney since its inception in 1900, the thesis is premised on a desire to use the apartment building as a vehicle to tell an alternative housing history to the more commonly told one of house and garden. In the process, it provides a different story of the city's development through the lens of the apartment building and challenges cultural prejudices against apartment living. The research documents the growth and changes of apartments, tracking their location, diversity of type and scale across the Sydney metropolitan region. The research analyses prototypical and generic apartment buildings in the context of the city's history. Drawing on the intersection of eras and themes as a method of critical inquiry, the thesis covers aspects of domestic debates, market, regulation, scale, demography, geography distribution, design and typology, traversing a time period of 1900 to 2008. The thesis explores the debates for and against apartment living in Sydney, emphasising the roles played by apartments in the broader discourses of Australian cultural and design history. The thesis concludes that after more than a century, the debates between apartment and cottage living continue to rage. In systematically providing a trajectory for the history of apartments from ideology to typology, this thesis establishes a place for apartments in Sydney's urban and cultural history; and simultaneously provides a deeper historical context to assist the process of better understanding and responding to the contemporary debate about high-density living and its consequences for the life of the city. Despite the size of its largely undocumented subject, this thesis demonstrates the effectiveness of its rationale: to use analysis of a specific, controversial building type to provide new insights into Sydney's urban history, ideologies and built forms.

Abstract:
The Farm is a speculative proposal for a self sustainable city block where as much food is produces as is consumed by it’s inhabitants. It is utilising the potential that arise when the greenery of farming is brought in to the cities in creating a new hybrid that blends with the city fabric with the aim of contributing to the areas multiplicity and vibrant life. The aim of the project has been that through architecture design; study the possibility to go from a throughput society, where everything we consume is produced outside of the community, to a society that produces what it consumes within the community in a cyclical integrated sustainable way. Can we produce what we consume with in a city and what happens when the production, which in this case is the cultivation of crops and plants, merge with the existing city fabric? What happens if the cultivation is combined with a traditional apartment program and what does it  become? Can the programs thrive together in symbiosis or will one of the programs become a parasite of the other? How does the vast open spaces required for farming relate to the small intimate spaces suitable for living spaces? What is their interrelationship, how do they effect each other?

Abstract:
Den befolkningstillväxt som sker idag skapar utmaningar för det befintliga bostadsbeståndet och vår bostadsförsörjning. För att klara tillväxten bygger vi våra städer tätare och högre vilket skapar både möjligheter och utmaningar. Ett sätt att effektivisera redan exploaterad mark kan vara att genom vertikal förtätning skapa fler bostäder på befintlig bebyggelse. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att belysa hur våningspåbyggnad i en urban miljö kan gestaltas och vilken påverkan den kan ha på mikroklimatet. För att undersöka huruvida det är lämpligt att förtäta ett utvalt objekt genomfördes en lämplighetsanalys baserat på ett tidigare examensarbete av Larsheim (2007), vilken behandlar inventering av fastighetsbestånd för vertikal förtätning. Denna metod har bearbetats i samråd med planarkitekt på Luleå kommun innan den tillämpades på det utvalda förtätningsobjektet vilket renderade i att byggnaden kunde anses lämplig att förtäta på. För att beskriva byggnaden och dess närområdes arkitektoniska karaktär utfördes en analys enligt Thiis-Evensen (1994) metod. Med hjälp av Pena och Parshalls (2001) metod ”Problem seeking” syntetiserades den arkitektoniska karaktärsanalysen tillsammans med förtätningsteori och teori om mikroklimat. Syntesen gav ett förslag till gestaltningsprogram för hur våningspåbyggnaden skulle kunna gestaltas. Examensarbetet resulterade i ett gestaltningsförslag se del 6. Gestaltningsförslaget. Påbyggnaden består av 45 lägenheter som är placerad ovanpå ett befintligt parkeringshus i Luleå, bostäderna är fördelade på tre plan vilka vilar på en förlängd pelarstomme. Påbyggnaden öppnar upp för nya möjligheter till ett attraktivt boende i innerstaden och har dessutom kvalitativa grönytor för lek och socialt umgänge samt odlingsbara ytor i ett växthus. I syfte att positivt kunna påverka de förändringar som kan ske då stadens tak bebyggs har mikroklimatsanalyser utförts utifrån faktorerna sol, vind, luftkvalitet, ljud, snö samt fenomenet ”Urban heat islands”. Analyserna som utförts har påverkat val av form och material för det i del 6. presenterade gestaltningsförslaget. Det presenterade gestaltningsförslaget bör i ytterligare steg undersökas av annan part då detta inte kunnat utföras under examensarbetets gång. Den lämplighetsanalys som testats i detta examensarbete bör valideras och utformas i närmre samarbete med intressenter och kommun för att säkerställa att rätt kriterier och tillvägagångssätt används då lämplighet för påbyggnad ska bestämmas.
The current ongoing population growth creates challenges for the existing housing stock and our housing supply. To handle this population growth, our cities are being constructed higher and more densely, which creates new opportunities and challenges. One way to make use of the already exploited land could be by using the principle of vertical densification to raise the existing building height and thereby being able to create new housing opportunities. The purpose of this master thesis is to illustrate how a rooftop extension could be configured into an urban environment and what impacts this configuration might have on the microclimate for the subjected area. To study the eligibility for a densification on the selected object, a method of eligibility analysis was carried out. The method used is based on a previous degree project by Larsheim (2007), which deals with stocktaking and assessing property stocks for vertical densification. The redesigned method was before being used on the selected object for densification drafted in consultation with planning architect at Luleå municipality. The final usage of the method resulted in the building being considered suitable for densification. A site analysis was conducted with regards to the existing building and its vicinity with a method written by Thiis-Evensen (1994). The method is focused on describing the architectural nature of the site. This analysis, together with the selected theory of densification and microclimate, was synthesized using Pena and Parshall's (2001) method "Problem seeking", which rendered a suggestion of a program for how the building could be configured. This master thesis resulted in a design proposal for a rooftop extension, see part 6. Gestaltningsförslaget. The extension is located on top of an existing multistory car park building in the centre of Luleå. The rooftop extension contains 45 apartments and consists of three elevated planes that resides on an extended pillar construction. A large green open area on the inner courtyard unlocks new opportunities for an attractive accommodation in the inner city. It also give the residents a room for social play and interaction as well as the opportunity to use cultivable surfaces in a new greenhouse. A microclimate analysis was carried out based on solar, wind, air quality, sound, snow, and the phenomenon of Urban heat islands in order to positively change the impact that might occur when the city’s rooftops are being extended. The analysis carried out influenced the selection of form and material in the design stage for the design proposal presented in part 6. The design proposal presented should be further investigated by another party. The eligibility analysis conducted in this master thesis should be validated and designed in close collaboration with stakeholders and municipalities to ensure that the correct criteria and approaches are being used when the eligibility of the rooftop extension is to be determined.

The study begins with the so-called belle époque of the Polish People’s Republic and the decade of Edward Gierek, continues through the political upheavals, the period of martial law, and the system transformation of 1989 and the two following decades, which have been marked by the introduction of democracy, global capitalism, consumerism etc. The primary sources consist of almost thirty literary and cinematic works from various genres covering a period of forty years – twenty before the system change, and twenty after. Their common denominator is their setting in the socialist housing projects (blokowisko).  The dissertation places itself in the field of geocriticism and literary/cinematic spatiality. The object of the study is the ̒social space’ (Henri Lefebvre) of the urban home, and the main analytical frames are spatial representations and narrative space, which are viewed as important in shaping both character and plot. The analysis also draws from cultural theory by Michel Foucault, Marc Augé, Mikhail Bakhtin, Mircea Eliade, and Loïc Wacquant. The dissertation detects a shift in the representations of the urban home that indicates that the home has become more private and secluded after 1989, also suggesting that a spatial and social marginalization of the socialist housing projects has occurred. These findings are interpreted as consistent with theories in human geography on changes in the perception and experience of space due to global paradigm shifts and changes in the production system.

Abstract:
Using the example of Airbnb, an internationally operating platform company for the booking of apartments, this article describes the role of such a company in the housing policy debate. The main thesis of the text is that Airbnb is exemplary for the financialization and digitalization of the housing market, and that it, as a platform, exploits data generated by urban processes and rental practices. In this context, it is of particular interest that digitalization is not a neutral process in itself; it takes place embedded in consumption-oriented and capitalist accumulation processes and is significantly influenced by technology and innovation policies.

Abstract:
Chapter one looks into the lawsuit submitted by many Wuhan residents against their city government. Although the residents, most of whom were affluent homeowners, all had lawful certificates when they bought their new apartments along the Yangzi (Yangtze) River in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the local government demanded immediate evacuation from their new homes in 2001. The fierce fight between preserving and demolishing their buildings would last for 130 days.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the use of aesthetic and discursive elements in the production of a narrative about República, a district in the central area of São Paulo (Brazil) that has been transformed through a real estate boom in the past ten years. We focus on newly built studio apartments, and on the efforts to differentiate them from the quitinetes, apartments with similar features built in the 1950s and 1960s that have been heavily stigmatized. We situate our analysis of this purposeful urban transformation within a context intertwined with urban marketing, publicity, and image making. Our research shows the strong presence of an industrial aesthetic in the area, which we understand as being a deliberate echo of the gentrification process that took place in SoHo in New York City in the 1970s.

Abstract:
Apartment market can be recognized as one of the marketplaces severely affected due to the unprecedented global pandemic of COVID-19, which is currently driving towards a disequilibrium state. Hence, this paper aimed to investigate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the demand and supply of apartment projects in Sri Lanka. The qualitative research approach was followed in order to accomplish the research aim. A comprehensive literature review followed by fifteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with apartment industry experts during the empirical investigation. Collected data was analyzed using manual content analysis. The findings revealed, how each market determinant affected the demand and supply of apartments respectively during the COVID-19 pandemic resulting numerous challenges on the market participants, directing the apartment market towards a disequilibrium state. Urban living fears, demographic shifts, unemployment shocks, consumers’ financial concerns, tourism crisis along with several other factors caused demand to be dropped while approval delays, lesser investments, lack of funding, developers’ failures, market imperfection and construction delays majorly affect the supply of apartments. Although demand for apartments in some market segments showed recovery with the new normal adaptation followed by several positive market aspects, demand dropped within the rental market and upper tier remains constantly. However, supply side is worsening overtime since financial losses are lessening developers’ supplying capabilities, while the crisis within the construction sector getting more affected due to the country’s economic downturn.

Based upon our previous study, we do know that in China living habits and local climate mainly influence the shape of residential buildings and apartment patterns, but we do not know whether the pattern of residential plots determined by FAR and sunshine hours are suitable for wind environment related to residential environmental quality. Therefore, it is very significant to evaluate wind environment within residential plots based on the apartment pattern controlled by various building codes. Our study focuses on the pattern of Slab apartments in Nanjing, which are mainly used in China, and selects 40 residential slices with different plot shapes, plot FAR, building heights and sizes. Based upon MATLAB, we have got all geometrical data between buildings among these slices to identify the spatial pattern character of each residential plot. Through evaluating wind environment of these slices by simulation we can obtain wind speed, pressure and age of air and choose the pattern of age of air as the main evaluation factor of wind performance. Correlation analysis will be made between the apartment patterns and pattern of age of air, by doing so, each typical space between buildings will be evaluated. Our study will reveal the relevance of apartment pattern and wind environment, which can be used to support and improve design in the future. References（95 words） Oke. T.

The residential building patterns are according to the living behavior, climate consideration, environmental requirement and market demands. Our previous studies have shown that sunshine regulation is by far the most important factor in the generation of the residential building pattern since 1980. This paper attempts to make a comprehensive evaluation to see the generating mechanism of the residential morphological patterns. Ten residential plots from two cities located in different climate zones of Xi’an and Nanjing are evaluated. Five factors, namely, the type of the apartment, plot FAR, land coverage, sunshine regulations and spatial characteristics of plot pattern, will be used as comprehensive evaluation indicators in the comparison. The study reveals how these factors interplay in the generation of the observed plot patterns and which factor is most important in this process. If the sunshine regulations were the key factor, how different the plot patterns in different climate zones and latitudes would have varied. Through evaluating generating mechanism we could find out the key generating factors, which is useful as the references for design.

Abstract:
Following the visual and volumetric bases extracted from the traditional Mediterranean architecture, Francisco Juan Barba Corsini (1916-2008) and Antoni Sintes Mercadal (1921-1981) designed Binibeca Vell (1964-1972) a respectful complex with the environment and the constructive traditions. The integration in the site, the built forms, the materials used and the urban structure reflect the organization of a traditional village. The research aims to analyze the architectural features, the reinterpretation of vernacular elements and the local traditional construction crafts involved in the complex and the details, symbolism and aesthetics. Binibeca consists of 165 townhouses, shopping center, hotel, social club, church and a small marina, all arranged in the form of a fishing village. The urban structure, the different typologies and the construction process is considered an alternative to the block of apartments of tourist promotion, reinterpreting a model of traditional settlement. The initial proposal was to recreate a traditional fishing village that would inspire the work of intellectuals, painters and writers. Barba Corsini stated that he had felt closer to the way a fisherman builds than to an architect: “I have met Alvar Aalto on several occasions and I came to understand the superiority of the beauty of a wall made by a fisherman or a farmer compared to that of a specialist technician” (Barba Corsini, 2005). With the reinterpretation of an architecture of the past, Binibeca Vell recovers the autochthonous values of the Mediterranean coast. The resonance between topography and architecture, the harmony with the constructive traditions, the plasticity of organic integration and the picturesqueness of the access route characterize Binibeca, which incorporates the adjective "Vell" to the toponym to distinguish itself from new constructions.

Abstract:
The project starts from the idea that to build a town and to build a dwelling emerge from the same principle – the attempt to define the limits of our way of living. The triptych of town, building, and apartment participates to this definition in stages from the intimacy of apartment to the environment of the nearest neighborhood and all the way to the making of the city. The architectural project defines itself also as a social project dealing with the inhabitants’ relation to the other individuals and to the society. The site is located between Zac Rue de Flandre Sud development area and the vast open space ofthe railroad yard of Gare de I ‘Est on the north side of the lively Boulevard de la Villette. The broken context of the turn-of-the-century working class housing is collected with a physical incision to the urban fabric. Green line – park – forms an oasis in the city life and creates public space in the quarter. Visually a whole, the park is divided into parts for each respective block and raised a little above the street level. The nature is set in the architectural frame. It is presented as a different space – living and seemingly homogeneous and confronted with the mix of buildings. The changes along the seasons condition the atmosphere of the park, which is opposite to the stability of the living buildings.
