Full textAbstract:
This paper reports on analyses of data gathered from discourse interactions of two focus groups of Brazilian university students (n = 11) as they talk about urban violence in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil. The analytical procedure follows Cameron et al.’s (2009) metaphor-led discourse analysis which focuses on the role metaphor vehicles play in the emergence of systematic metaphors in discourse. The findings highlight the trivialization of violence in Brazil by the media/TV, evidenced by the emergence in the talk of three related systematic metaphors: violence is a product manufactured by the media, violence is a spreading contagious disease and fear as a response to violence is a form of imprisonment.

Full textAbstract:
This article presents an approach to mapping multivalent metaphors, that is, metaphors that imply competing values. It suggests that a metaphor's interpretative repertoire can usefully be structured in terms of worldviews derived from political philosophies. To illustrate this approach, the article analyzes how Wildnis (wild nature) is used to refer to the Zwischenstadt (hybrid peri-urban landscapes) in German language planning discourse. It thus makes a contribution toward interpreting and structuring this discourse. After outlining the methodological framework, the article presents certain elements of the interpretative repertoire of Wildnis by outlining selected liberal, Romantic, and conservative interpretations of this metaphor. It then interprets actual statements by urban and landscape planners and designers, reconstructing how they refer to various political interpretations of Wildnis. Finally, it is argued that the approach can benefit planning practice by enhancing frame awareness and by allowing for a systematic analysis of the metaphor's blind spots.

Full textAbstract:
Metaphor is here approached as a complex emergence which results from many internal and external factors such as those of a bio-psychological nature among others. Based on an embodied view which assumes that cognition results from "structural couplings that bring forth a world" (VARELA; THOMPSON; ROSCH,1993); it is assumed that socio-culturally shared beliefs, values and attitudes, individuals' life history, their affective and psychological states, besides embodied factors interact dynamically to cause metaphor emergencies to occur. Such metaphors might incorporate verbal language, gestures, body language etc. Having this view of metaphor as a basis, data gathered from three focal groups composed by volunteer violence victims are analysed. Findings from participants’ talks about ways they cope with the threat posed by urban violence, point to the emergence of several systematic metaphors. VIOLENCE IN FOOTBALL IS A REPELLING FORCE and UNDERSTANDING DIFFERENT SOCIAL GROUPS IS SEEING THEM are the two systematic metaphors analysed here.

Full textAbstract:
By using two cognitive tools, metaphors and analogies, structural concepts can be made more observable and touchable for architects. These tools can help architects and designers to physically demonstrate structural concepts for better understanding. Since familiarity with the structural concepts is imperative for architects, it is important to determine the extent in which architects sharpen and solidify their understanding of structural concept using two very valuable cognitive tools, metaphors and analogies. Although in recent years, the number of studies focusing on the usage of metaphor and analogy was on the rise, very few works have included views and opinions of correspondent users in the architectural domain. Furthermore, having both metaphor and analogy under one investigation could help the researcher to see which one, metaphor or analogy, professional architects prefer to use more and which one of them architects use in various stages in their design process. In this regard, purposive sampling was applied to collect the data from ten professional Iranian architects who had the experience of working in this domain for more than 10 years. The participants of this study went through a semi-structured interview and their reports were analysed qualitatively. The findings reveal that while designing, Iranian professional architects do not have any preferences because they can equally apply both metaphors and analogies, but when dealing with their students in academic setting, using metaphor as a cognitive tool can lead to better results. Furthermore, Iranian architects use metaphor more in the initial stages of the architectural design process because according to them this physiognomic perception enhance understanding of a design situation and stimulate creative solutions to the problem at hand. Conversely, analogy is mainly used in the concept generation phase.

The article provides a discussion of symbolic aspects and uses of metaphors in Massimiliano Fuksas architecture. Despite of the fact that his architectural projects are very different they are sculptural and abstract leading to ambiguous reflections. The author argues that each architectural project of Massimiliano Fuksas can be related to certain metaphors and level of symbolisation. His metaphors are often metaphors for our feelings, they are emotionally understandable and yet not so easy to name. The article is an attempt to expose and analyze them.

Full textAbstract:
Urban solutions in Vilnius were mostly of a practical rather than aestethical character. After World War II architects of urban design, whose activity used to change substantly historically settled cities, became more active. In Lithuania the conception of heritage developed gradually lagging behind dominating European tendencies; therefore, Vilnius city has been strongly influenced by individual creative works. The most obvious materialized conception of that kind is the idea of “architectural hills“. Currently this conception is widely criticized, and at the same time new restraints protecting the old town are set. These restraints often contradict the development of the city, which is inevitable bearing in mind the status of Vilnius city (the capital) and the size of administrated territory. Due to objective reasons political decisions and the activity of energetic private investors have a strong influence on the development of the city. In the chain an investor–administrator–professional there exists uneven proportion of participation thus spoiling the final result. The paper presents the main contradiction between the city development and heritage supporters and ways of solving it.

Full textAbstract:
The article deploys Bauman’s metaphor of the ‘gardening’ state to consider the imbrication of planning and the dark side of modernity. It interrogates the public production and defence of urban spaces suitable for people deemed to have value. Using empirical material from urban Zimbabwe, I frame planning as a spatial technology of the gardening state and peer into its handling of informality under two main themes: first, the perception, construction and designation of ‘weeds’, and second, the declaration and treatment of the ‘weeds’. Situating Bauman’s metaphor in the nexus between planning, the state and informality, I conclude that the metaphor paints a helpful but inadequate picture. I argue that while the metaphor is helpful with regards to the first theme, refinements are needed in its application to the second. Rather than see planning enforcement as a rational-scientific practice, a nuanced conceptualisation is needed that explicitly acknowledges the messy business of politics.

The history of the military police in Rio de Janeiro is a history of violence. Police violence peaked during the democratic era when they have killed more civilians annually than the total disappeared during the military dictatorship. Their violence unduly targets the urban poor, those living in favelas, where poverty intersects with informality, where insecurity manifests in unprotected spaces, from inadequate infrastructure to lack of land title; from stigmatization as territories of criminality to violence as drug traffickers and militias battle each other, and the military police, for control. The pacification police are an attempt to reverse this history. The pacification police are the most prolific and contentious public security policy in Rio de Janeiro's recent history. Their official objective is to restore security to spaces once governed by armed criminals. But while pacifying the informal settlements they are also pacifying the military police. As the state on the streets, or its most visible aspect in the informal settlements, they are the locus of community concerns and interlocutors with public authorities. The pacification police are altering perceptions of the police in the eyes of residents and reforming what it means to be a law enforcement officer in the minds of police. They are unintentionally connecting a state that was distant from the informal settlements and complicit in the violence inside them to the urban poor. The pacification police are beginning to transform urban governance across Rio de Janeiro.

Roots: They take hold; they grow, expand and change, creating networks and sub-networks as they start to break above the earth's surface and stretch up higher towards the sky day by day. Roots can be taken out (the stock, stem or trunk removed), but both the memory and the evidence of the roots' existence will continue to remain for a while to come. The idea of "roots" applies to so much: from artists taking inspiration from previous artists, even at times to mirror the change in the world which one artist had previously documented; from the places we establish our families and create our memories, to a good deal more.

Stathopoulos, Marco. "La résilience urbaine : art de la crise et architectures pirates." Thesis, Paris 8, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA080096.
Full textAbstract:
Le concept de résilience a été adopté dans le langage et les pratiques de l’urbanisation planétaire, dont le modèle dominant est la planification. La théorie de la résilience est cependant critiquée, notamment pour sa difficulté à mener à des résultats prévisibles, ou pour sa récupération par les approches les plus néolibérales de cette planification. Cette thèse montre qu’elle peut aussi être un point de départ pour questionner le modèle dominant et ouvrir à d’autres manières d’appréhender, théoriser et concevoir l’urbain. Elle développe comment la théorie de la résilience urbaine peut se fonder sur un cadre conceptuel spécifique, dont les critères permettent d'orienter des choix lors d’une mise en projet. La recherche débute avec le corpus qui s’est structuré en écologie, qui a ouvert à une théorie de la résilience dans l’urbain, et en développe les singularités. Etant donné que le modèle dominant entretient un brouillage des repères, elle emprunte une méthode d’analyse métaphorique, transportant donc la théorisation en dehors des cadres de celui-ci. Elle propose pour cela un concept, celui de « piraterie urbaine», comme art de la mise en projet de la résilience. La métaphore de la piraterie est construite autour de son sens étymologique, de ses archétypes, et de son histoire. À travers elle sont notamment théorisés : les conditions de la résilience et leurs aspects qualitatifs ; le rapport à la forme architecturale, au temps et au lieu d’un urbain conçu selon ses critères ; sa symbolique et son décalage vis-à-vis du modèle dominant ; sa dimension politique, dialogique, expérimentale et incrémentale ; les repères et seuils orientant des choix architecturaux et urbainsThe concept of resilience has been adopted by the language and practices of growing global urbanisation, the dominant model of which is planning. However, resilience theory is also questioned, notably for the difficulty it manifests in ensuring predictable results, or for the usage that is made of it by the most neoliberal approaches to planning. This thesis shows that concept of resilience can also be a starting point for questioning planning by introducing other ways of understanding, theorising and designing urban environments. It addresses how urban resilience theory can shed light on specific conceptual frameworks, whose criteria may orient design choices. The research originates in a corpus that has been developed in the field of ecology, opening the way to an urban resilience theory, and explores the singularities of this transition. To overcome the dominant model’s tendency to blur landmarks, and free this process of theorisation from the ambiguity of its frameworks, this thesis adopts the method of analysis through metaphor. It thus proposes the concept of "urban piracy", as an art of designing resilience in urban environments. The metaphor of piracy is constructed along its etymological sense, its archetypes and its history. It gives way to a theorisation that includes the qualitative aspects of the conditions of resilience; the relationship to form, time and place, of a city designed according to its criteria; the symbolism of its theory and its discrepancies vis-à-vis the dominant model; its political, dialogical, experimental and incremental dimension; and finally, the landmarks and the thresholds that orient choices in architectural and urban design

Full textAbstract:
In 1989 the young Dutch architect Willem Jan Neutelings developed a project for the area in between Rotterdam and the Hague that was going to face, in the following years, a huge increment of population and activities. In this context Neutelings proposed his personal reinterpretation of the urban form called “De Tapijtmetropool” or “Patchwork Metropolis” .
The analyses of his work has been the methodological pretext to further investigate the different declinations of the figure of the patchwork in the urban discipline from its origins, mainly related with the work of “The Regional Planning Association of America” and ecologists such as Richard T.T. Forman, until today.
Interpreted as a general manifesto or as the explanation of a specific territorial configuration, the patchwork discourse crosses many of the preeminent topics of the modernity – the figure of the fragment, the issue of the peripheral condition and the territorial layout of the contemporary city – but also many other metaphors and researches – cities in between , the territory as a palimpsests , the city territory , the città diffusa , the archipelago city – preserving and enriching each time its precious ambiguity.
The thesis is articulated in four parts that assemble a circular story that opens and closes in the same sector of the Dutch territory. Starting with a new reading of the Neutelings’ manifesto (I) and finishing with the analyses of the political, social and territorial configuration of the Netherlands (IV), the research demonstrates retrospectively the presence of an implicit project, recognizing the elements and the typical working mechanisms of the patchwork model. The central part of this thesis (II-III) questions the operational validity of the patchwork metaphor for the urban discipline, aiming to transform the six-pages long article of Neutelings into a more coherent and grounded paradigm to interpret and design the contemporary territories.
As a project of coexistence, the patchwork deserves a preeminent role in the contemporary urban discourse, for the willingness to seek an order, even if a weak one, in a territory which is apparently missing it and to address one of the most important themes of the entire Western culture: the relationship between the one and the multiple .

Full textAbstract:
Qu’ils soient voyageurs occasionnels ou réguliers, les piétons se déplaçant en environnement urbain et en transport en commun ont à faire face à la complexité du réseau de transport des grandes villes. Les aides au déplacement sont nombreuses et variées. Elles peuvent être fixes (par exemple, panneaux de signalisation) ou mobiles (par exemple, applications sur smartphone). Ces aides utilisent principalement la modalité sensorielle visuelle, déjà fortement sollicitée lors d’un déplacement urbain. Une alternative intéressante serait d’utiliser l’haptique (sens du toucher). En effet, cette modalité permet de transmettre au porteur d’un dispositif haptique des informations de déplacement et de navigation, en attirant discrètement son attention par des messages délivrés tactilement.S’inscrivant dans une démarche d’ergonomie prospective, cette thèse vise à étudier l’apport de la modalité haptique comme soutien à l’activité de déplacement piéton urbain. L’objectif appliqué est la conception d’un dispositif haptique d’aide au déplacement innovant, efficace et accepté par les utilisateurs futurs. Ce projet de conception s’est déroulé dans le cadre du projet ANR Tictact, mené par le CEA-LIST de 2011 à 2014. L’utilisation de la modalité haptique étant posée comme un parti pris initial, l’objectif du projet était de déterminer la forme que devrait prendre l’assistance aux usagers et la technologie de l’outil d’aide.Pour répondre à ce défi, nous avons mis en œuvre trois études successives. La première visait à comprendre les activités cognitives élémentaires mobilisées pour consulter les supports d’informations nécessaires à la navigation piétonne. Pour cela, nous avons analysé le comportement d’un piéton effectuant un trajet urbain (en métro et à pied). Les résultats nous ont permis de spécifier les fonctions d’aide que devrait remplir un futur dispositif d’aide au déplacement. Complétées par une revue de la littérature sur les interfaces haptiques et leur utilisation pour l’aide au déplacement, ces résultats nous ont conduits à déterminer les fonctions éligibles à la modalité haptique. La seconde étude visait à concevoir l’interaction haptique avec le dispositif d’aide, en deux étapes : élaborer le concept d’interface et concevoir le langage d’interaction. Une démarche de conception participative a été mise en œuvre, étayée par l’utilisation d’un prototype et de méthodes créatives. Cette démarche a abouti à : (i) identifier un message informationnel approprié à chaque fonction de déplacement ; (ii) traduire ce message (par analogie) en métaphore ; (iii) transformer chaque métaphore en motifs vibratoires délivrés par un bracelet haptique. La troisième étude visait à évaluer le dispositif haptique (bracelet couplé à un Smartphone) en environnement réel. Une analyse d’activité de déplacement urbain a été menée, comparant un groupe disposant de notre prototype haptique d’aide à un groupe sans prototype. Les résultats confirment la potentialité de la modalité haptique pour améliorer les performances de déplacement et notamment une allure de déplacement plus fluide et une diminution du temps de consultation d’un support d’information. Notre étude ouvre des perspectives pour l’utilisation de la modalité haptique dans diverses interfaces mobiles (par exemple une smartwatch)Whether they are occasional or regular travellers, the pedestrians travelling in an urban environment and using public transportation have to face the complexity of the transportation network of large cities. The travelling aids are numerous and varied. They can be stationary or mobile (for example, applications on smartphones). These aids rely mainly on the visual sensory modality, already heavily requested during urban travel. An interesting alternative would be to use haptics (sense of touch). Indeed, this modality enables to convey travel and navigational information to the owner of a haptic device, by drawing discreetly his attention with tactile messages. Joining an approach of prospective ergonomics, this thesis aims to study the contribution of the haptic modality as a support for the activity of urban pedestrian travel. The applied objective is the design of a haptic device as an innovative travel aid, effective and accepted by the future users. This design project took place within the framework of the ANR project Tictact, led by the CEA-LIST from 2011 till 2014. The use of the haptic modality being put as an initial bias, the objective of the project was to determine the form that the assistance and the technology of the travel aid should take.To tackle this challenge, we conducted three successive studies. The first one, aimed at understanding the elementary cognitive activities mobilized when consulting information necessary to the pedestrian navigation. For that purpose, we analysed the behaviour of a pedestrian undertaking an urban travel (in the subway and on foot). The results allowed us to specify the functions that a future device assisting in the travel should include. Completed by a review of the literature on haptic interfaces and their use for assisting travel, these results led us to determine the eligible functions of the haptic modality.The second study aimed at designing the haptic interaction with the haptic interface, in two stages: first develop the concept of the interface and second design the interaction language. An approach of participative design was implemented, supported by the use of a device prototype and creative methods. This approach succeeded in: i) identifying an informative message suitable for each function of the travel; ii) translating this message (using an analogy) into a metaphor; and iii) transforming every metaphor into vibrotactile patterns delivered by a haptic wristband.The third study aimed at evaluating the haptic device (a wristband coupled with a Smartphone) in a real environment. An analysis of the activity of urban travel was conducted, comparing a group having a prototype of our haptic assistant to a group without such prototype. The results confirm the potentiality of the haptic modality to improve the travel performance in particular to enable a more fluid speed of travel and a decrease in the consultation time of an information medium. Our study opens up perspectives for the use of the haptic modality in diverse mobile interfaces (for example a smartwatch)

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines representations of the city and media art in Hong Kong from the late 1980s to the present to establish a link between the ways in which the city's place identity is re-imag(in)ed. Charting the course of media art in Hong Kong in relation to the parallel development of contemporary art in the region, it provides critical analyses of dominant urban metaphors that play a significant role, both locally and internationally, in the current representation of Hong Kong and its artistic practices. Specifically, the study explores how media artists have been dealing with four central urban metaphors that frequently arise in discussions of Hong Kong in relation to its place identity: City in Transition, Panoramic City, Compact City, and Mobile City. The hypothesis of this essay concerns the ways in which both the selected media artists and their works negotiate central urban metaphors in their search for Hong Kong's place identity. I designate each of these negotiations as a 'spatial portrait': a space of representation in which social experiences and relations are reconstructed and investigated. Through the critical analysis of these spatial portraits, I consider the development, shifts and imbrications of urban metaphors for Hong Kong and their contributions to, as well as their limitations for, understandings of artistic representations of urban space. Recognizing the local-global nexus from which these works emerge through considerations of the imaging of Hong Kong in the media and tourism industries, I propose an interpretation of the metaphor of the Mobile City as an updated version of the City of Transition. Ultimately, this dissertation offers an understanding of urban metaphors in Hong Kong media art in relation to the re-imag(in)ing of place identity situated between globalization discourse and the cultural politics of urban space, location and representation. It concludes that contemporary art's contribution to t

This study proposes a method for the design of a contemporary urban park on the eastern edge of the Old City in Cairo. Precedents in park design are briefly explored with a focus on the relation of the park to the city. The urban fabric of the Old City is analyzed in detail to extract metaphors, models and principles that can serve to devise an ordering framework for the park. The design as it emerges is informed by two themes - the site as an urban quarter of the city and the park as palimpsest. The intention is to create a framework that will place the site securely in relation to its geographical locale and to its historic context.

Full textAbstract:
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel SuperiorO discurso pode ser compreendido como um sistema dinÃmico complexo, que se adapta de acordo com as necessidades contextuais. Desse modo, as metÃforas presentes nos discursos parecem emergir a partir de uma negociaÃÃo de conceitos durante a interaÃÃo conversacional. Cameron (2003, 2007, 2008) chama estes tipos de metÃforas de sistemÃticas, pois percorrem diversas falas, apontando para uma construÃÃo colaborativa. A emergÃncia destas metÃforas significa uma estabilidade temporÃria no discurso, resultante da interaÃÃo entre diversos agentes: pragmÃticos, sociais, culturais, histÃricos e cognitivos. Contudo, Cameron nÃo especifica que recursos cognitivos podem ter sido usados para fazer emergir estas estabilizaÃÃes. Esta pesquisa sugere que o sistema dinÃmico discursivo à tambÃm constituÃdo de estruturas conceituais esquemÃticas derivadas das experiÃncias bÃsicas corpÃreas comuns a todos (ou pelo menos a maioria) dos seres humanos: os esquemas imagÃtico-cinestÃsicos (LAKOFF, 1987; JOHNSON, 1987) e as metÃforas conceituais primÃrias (GRADY, 1997). Assim, entendemos que a metÃfora sistemÃtica nÃo emerge somente do discurso, mas tambÃm da cogniÃÃo, em uma dupla direcionalidade (discurso-cogniÃÃo e vice-versa). A fim de confirmar este pensamento, foi utilizada a tÃcnica de investigaÃÃo de grupo focal, formado por jovens adultos universitÃrios, que discorreram sobre violÃncia urbana. O discurso foi gravado em Ãudio e vÃdeo, depois transcrito segundo os procedimentos listados por Cameron et al. (2009). A pesquisa à de natureza qualitativa, portanto os dados sÃo interpretados utilizando os seguintes referenciais teÃricos: Teoria Integrada da MetÃfora PrimÃria (LAKOFF & JOHNSON, 1999), esquemas imagÃtico-cinestÃsicos (LAKOFF, 1987; JOHNSON, 1987; LAKOFF & JOHNSON, 1999), Teoria dos Sistemas DinÃmicos Complexos Adaptativos e a anÃlise do discurso à luz da metÃfora (CAMERON, 2003, 2007, 2008; CAMERON ET AL., 2009, CAMERON & MASLEN, 2010). As metÃforas sistemÃticas foram identificadas e relacionadas aos esquemas e metÃforas primÃrias, sendo possÃvel inferir que a emergÃncia de linguagem figurada no discurso ocorre dinamicamente em duas vias. AlÃm disso, verificamos que esquemas e metÃforas primÃrias parecem ser alguns dos agentes cognitivos envolvidos nestas emergÃncias, e os tÃpicos discursivos sÃo os agentes que motivam o uso de certos esquemas e metÃforas primÃrias em detrimento de outros.
The discourse can be seen as a complex dynamic system, which adapts itself according to contextual needs. Thus, the metaphors in the discourse seem to emerge out of a conceptual negotiation along the conversational interaction. Cameron (2003, 2007, 2008) calls these types of metaphors systematic, since they permeate different talks, signaling a collaborative construction. The emergence of these metaphors means a temporary stability, due to the interaction between different agents: pragmatic, social, cultural, historical and cognitive. However, Cameron does not specify which cognitive elements could have been used to emerge these stabilizations. This research suggests the dynamic discursive system is also made of conceptual schematic structures as a result of embodied basic experiences common to every person (or at least to the vast majority): the image and kinesthetic schemas (LAKOFF, 1987; JOHNSON, 1987) and conceptual primary metaphors (GRADY, 1997). Thus, it is understood that systematic metaphors do not emerge only from discourse factors, but also from cognition, in double directionality (discourse-cognition and vice-versa). In order to confirm this thought, it was used the focal group investigation technique. The group was made of college students who talked about urban violence. The discourse was recorded in audio and video, then transcribed according to the procedures listed by Cameron et al. (2009). The research is qualitative, so the data analysis is guided by the following theoretical references: Primary Metaphor Integrated Theory (LAKOFF & JOHNSON, 1999), image and kinesthetic schemas (LAKOFF, 1987; JOHNSON, 1987; LAKOFF & JOHNSON, 1999), Complex Adaptive Dynamic System Theory and the metaphor-led discourse analysis approach (CAMERON, 2003, 2007, 2008; CAMERON ET AL., 2009, CAMERON & MASLEN, 2010). The systematic metaphors identified in the data were matched to schemas and primary metaphors, inferring then the emergence of figurative language in the discourse occurs in two ways. Furthermore, schemas and primary metaphors seem to be some of the cognitive agents present in those emergences, and the discourse topics are at least one of the agents which motivate the use of certain schemas and primary metaphors instead of others.

The researcher specifically explored the couples' intimacy experiences in six dimensions: emotional closeness and self-disclosure, shared ideas and support, sexual intimacy, relationship skills, commitment and social intimacy. The Zaltman Metaphor Elicitation Technique (ZMET), an innovative method of data collection was used to collect pictures as metaphors from 11 couples (N=22) and the researcher conducted 45-90 minutes in-depth phone interviews. Phenomenological approach was used for data analysis and five themes (description, positive and negative experiences, barriers and strategies used, changes over time and perceived societal norms) provided information on the six dimensions of intimacy. The findings confirmed that intimacy is experienced in married Indian couples in each of the above mentioned dimensions. In addition, when intimacy is experienced they are viewed positively and lack of intimacy is viewed negatively in each dimensions. Couples also perceived barriers to their achievement of intimacy and developed strategies that helped them maintain intimacy in their marriage over time. Gender differences were present, for wives, emotional closeness and self-disclosure was more important, whereas for men, commitment was more important. The findings have implications for marriage education programs and clinicians working with married Indian couples.Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
The materiality of urbanism encompasses the words and actions by which we relate ourselves to it, the economics of its creation and maintenance, the impact of the material on the viability of community life, and also the long-term trajectories of urban growth and decline. Archaeological approaches to urban materiality tend to focus on how people seek to use the material and also emphasize what the material meant, in verbal terms, to its users. This article focuses on urban materialities, its meaning, magnitude, friction, and outcomes. This article further discusses words, metaphors, and urban materials. In discussing metaphor the material scholars have recognized ‘an inherent problem in the precise relationship between a world of words and world of things’. This article discusses the process of analyzing transformation through time. A detailed analysis on the growth and changing trends in urban industrialization concludes this article.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractToday, Living Labs are increasingly promoted as innovative tools to deal with urban regeneration in Europe. In this contribution, we look at their potential in the context of the regeneration of large-scale social housing estates. Starting from the results of the research project SoHoLab (2017–2020) and building on the contributions of this book, we identify Living Labs as practices that are at the margin of key regeneration processes and actors but that nonetheless play an important, enabling role in triggering a more broadly supported approach to regeneration. We use the metaphor of the ‘interstice’ to identify Living Labs’ role of mediating across different social, institutional, disciplinary, departmental, and policy realms. Nevertheless, caution is warranted. Living Labs should not be considered the approach towards the urban regeneration of marginalized areas; their potential lies precisely in their hybrid and constantly transforming character. In order to steer regeneration practices and policies that are actually more inclusive, they should be accompanied by a critical and self-reflexive research attitude.

Full textAbstract:
This paper proposes a reading of the faqade of Maison Curutchet, a significant yet largely unstudied building designed by Le Corbusier in 1949, as a metaphor or a condenser of the architect’s ideas on urban-planning and painting. It also proposes that in this building Le Corbusier proved to be (contrary to what is often asserted) one of the most contextually urban oriented architects of the twentieth century.

Full textAbstract:
Na Física fissuras – ou trincas – aparecem em duas circunstâncias: sob uma forte colisão provocando uma cisão ou no encontro (mais lento e) incompatível de duas materialidades distintas.
No urbanismo, fissuras são encontradas, por exemplo, quando dois ou mais sistemas distintos colidem violentamente como urbanização e geografia, interesses de mercado e demandas sociais, ou na interação entre sociedade civil e Estado. Alternativamente, fissuras são encontradas em movimentos opostos, paralelos, suaves, porém constantes, entre duas racionalidades distintas: indústria e trabalho, uso do solo e economia, Estado e povo, pobres e ricos, etc. A metáfora de fissuras será aqui utilizada para identificar e descrever aspectos tanto físicos quanto sociais do meio urbano.
Através de uma leitura espacializada da historiografia de Belo Horizonte, este artigo busca a identificação dessas fissuras na intenção de se buscar novas escalas e novos métodos para o desenho urbano e para ações no contexto urbano na América Latina. In physics, fissures - or cracks - appear under two circumstances: a forceful collision provoking a split; or the incompatibility in the encounter of two distinct materialities.
In urbanism cracks are found for example when two or more different systems violently clash such as urbanization and geography, market interests and social needs, state and civil society interaction. Alternatively, fissures are found in a more soft, but constant, parallel and oppositional move between two distinct rationalities: industry and labour, land use and economy, state and people, rich and poor, etc. The metaphor of fissures will therefore be used here to identify and describe both physical and social aspects of the urban realm.
Through a spatialized reading on the historiography of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, this paper seeks the identification of urban fissures aiming at finding new scales and methods for urban design and actions in latin-american urban contexts.

Full textAbstract:
A scientific reading of the transformations of Matera starting from the urban re-activation in a social and spatial perspective in its neighbourhoods. The redevelopment of urban voids starts by the metaphor of the ecological network in an urban scale to update the connection system of open spaces in the light of new practices and flows for an innovative idea of urban resilience. The key role is re-see the neighbourhood: (i) on a local scale, focusing on the practices and customs, in the centre like in the industrial areas, starting processes of recovery and reuse but also of innovation (that result from the opportunity to be the European Capital of Culture 2019); (ii) on a urban scale with the transition space and threshold, identifying those natural and mineral signs representing a transition of porosity. The value of the "suburbs" enters as re-starting for rebirth of the city projects counting on the creativity of practices into the open spaces. The reformist project of Matera as original "laboratory" of architectural and urban experiments changes. Neighbourhoods were born from the same idea of “vicinato” (neighbour) but adapted to a new social identity, able to work on embryos of community, in the same way in Valencia in which natural elements (Turia) lead to rediscover the sense of belonging and making community. In both cases, urban policies are oriented towards innovative and spontaneous processes able to change the urban approach to a multi-purpose city although representative of culture and identity.

This is theoretical work for better understanding what Sarajevo is today. Since the focus is on contemporary society, our work begins with the concept of the rhizome, which Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari used as a metaphor to explain the nature of knowledge, information, and social relation. This concept applied information age defined in works Manuel Castells. The rise of the networking society, they application in actual life in town. In this work after highlighted some od phenomena of the world today analyzing urban layers in memories of the Sarajevo, from period when Sarajevo establishing, when ottoman empire era rule in Bosnia, Austro-Hungarian period, and rule in the both Jugoslav era and finely, and finely reflex on post-Dayton position like capital town in independent state BIH, and what that happen in space. One part of our analyzing is to discover what kind of the rule was dominate in history of the town. Very important focus in this work is to clear fined definition, what is Sarajevo today, and why this city, lost your competition like town and disappear in concept the Canton Sarajevo. We are try to find reason of that position the town in organization today, and try to give some suggestion, how to find some solution for better thinking about the city region. Today is divided town, and we have to try to find solution for charismatic position in the future of the town. It will be imagination, like tools which help to find light in the end.

Full textAbstract:
Since its rise as an autonomous field in the seventies, Urban Design has been a conglomerate of diverse concepts and value outlooks.The present approach, which is an a posteriori propositional expression of applications in actual practice and education, presents both theory and method by means of ten points. The approach is basically generated by formal considerations, thus originating in and focussing on aspects which cannot be expressed through theory and methods of other disciplines. It starts with systematic, conventional and objective studies which are then connected to a system of manipulations – the rules of game – which emphasize interpretation and are clarified by narrative and formal metaphors. The ‘rules of game’ set a framework of no a priori preferred contents, which is then applied according to local characteristics, needs and potentials. This conceptual – interpretative framework imposes a structural, consistent and hierarchical system on the factual data, so as to assure the realization of two apparently opposed values: (1) unity and phenomenological qualities and (2) free development and unfolding of the design that .The propositional expression of the approach aims at its exposure to explicit evaluation and criticism.

Full textAbstract:
Resumen: El reciente interés académico en el Movimiento surrealista constituye una revisión de largo alcance, habiéndose ampliado el campo de análisis con evidente ambición multidisciplinar. Su estratégica relación con otras disciplinas, la impostación de sus derivas urbanas como prácticas sociales y etnográficas, la profundización en las técnicas de manipulación de la fotografía y la escritura, la naturalización de la fragmentación asociada al montaje y, finalmente, la revisión de la imprecisa naturaleza del objeto surrealista en sus distintas versiones (objet trouvé, objet à réaction poétique, objet-type, ready-made, etc.) y su función seminal en lo contemporáneo, facilitan un escenario de investigación complejo y abierto. Un escenario en el que la obra de Le Corbusier se dibuja en una nueva perspectiva. Le Corbusier adoptó técnicas afines al surrealismo, como la fotografía, el montaje y el caligrama, con el objeto de ampliar el significado de los paradigmas asociados a la racionalidad productiva y tecnológica, en particular los que construyen el espacio doméstico. El uso tales medios discursivos y de divulgación asociados con el surrealismo facilitó la contaminación de su discurso con las estrategias desestabilizadoras y conflictivas características del Movimiento. Abstract: The recent academic interest in the surrealist movement is a far-reaching review, having widened the scope of analysis with evident multidisciplinary ambition. Its strategic relationship with other disciplines, the imposture of their urban drifts as social and ethnographic practices, the deepening on the manipulation techniques of photography and writing, the naturalization of fragmentation associated with montage and, finally, the review of the imprecise nature of the Surrealist object in its different versions (objet trouvé, objet à réaction poétique, objet-type, ready-made, etc.) and its seminal role in the contemporary facilitate an open and complex research scenario. A scenario within which the work of Le Corbusier is perceived in a new perspective. Le Corbusier adopted techniques related to surrealism, such as photography, montage, automatism and the calligram, in order to expand as well as undermine the meaning of canonical paradigms associated to productive and technological rationality, in particular those related to the domestic milieu. The use of such display of discursive instruments facilitated the contamination of his editorial and architectural work with the destabilizing and conflicting strategies that characterize the Movement. Palabras Clave: Surrealismo, metáforas obsesivas, montaje, automatismo, analogía, arbitrariedad. Keywords: Surrealism, obsessive metaphors, montage, automatism, analogy, arbitrariness.

Full textAbstract:
The main recommendations of the panel report can be summarised under five key headings. Underpinning all five areas is the recognition that human narratives remain crucial for ensuring the widest access to our shared past. There is no wish to see political and economic narratives abandoned but the need is recognised for there to be an expansion to more social narratives to fully explore the potential of the diverse evidence base. The questions that can be asked are here framed in a national context but they need to be supported and improved a) by the development of regional research frameworks, and b) by an enhanced study of Scotland’s international context through time. 1. From North Britain to the Idea of Scotland: Understanding why, where and how ‘Scotland’ emerges provides a focal point of research. Investigating state formation requires work from Medieval Scotland: a future for its past ii a variety of sources, exploring the relationships between centres of consumption - royal, ecclesiastical and urban - and their hinterlands. Working from site-specific work to regional analysis, researchers can explore how what would become ‘Scotland’ came to be, and whence sprang its inspiration. 2. Lifestyles and Living Spaces: Holistic approaches to exploring medieval settlement should be promoted, combining landscape studies with artefactual, environmental, and documentary work. Understanding the role of individual sites within wider local, regional and national settlement systems should be promoted, and chronological frameworks developed to chart the changing nature of Medieval settlement. 3. Mentalities: The holistic understanding of medieval belief (particularly, but not exclusively, in its early medieval or early historic phase) needs to broaden its contextual understanding with reference to prehistoric or inherited belief systems and frames of reference. Collaborative approaches should draw on international parallels and analogues in pursuit of defining and contrasting local or regional belief systems through integrated studies of portable material culture, monumentality and landscape. 4. Empowerment: Revisiting museum collections and renewing the study of newly retrieved artefacts is vital to a broader understanding of the dynamics of writing within society. Text needs to be seen less as a metaphor and more as a technological and social innovation in material culture which will help the understanding of it as an experienced, imaginatively rich reality of life. In archaeological terms, the study of the relatively neglected cultural areas of sensory perception, memory, learning and play needs to be promoted to enrich the understanding of past social behaviours. 5. Parameters: Multi-disciplinary, collaborative, and cross-sector approaches should be encouraged in order to release the research potential of all sectors of archaeology. Creative solutions should be sought to the challenges of transmitting the importance of archaeological work and conserving the resource for current and future research.
