Abstract (sommario):
L'urbanisme français, né au début du XXe siècle, cherche des bases scientifiques et une méthode. L'usage abondant et varié d'images biologiques apporte une commodité épistémologique mais aussi bien des confusions. Les idées d'évolution et d'organisme induisent chez les urbanistes des représentations de la mémoire et de l'histoire urbaine qui stimulent le débat et qui font apparaître la difficulté de poser de façon certaine les lois de l'urbain. L'idée de loi, rapprochée du temps et du vivant, permet de toucher une des ambiguïtés majeures des discours : le passage de la loi de développement et de fonctionnement urbains, qu'on considère comme naturelle, à la loi normative ou prescriptive. C'est dans la conception du temps politique urbain que se nouent ces problèmes. Et le récit de la ville, rédigé ou implicite, est l'objet où se lisent le mieux les enjeux du débat. On étudie ici les textes des urbanistes en les faisant dialoguer entre eux, et en se référant aux philosophes, que les urbanistes appellent parfois eux-mêmes, afin de clarifier le plus possible les représentations du temps et du vivant qui président à l'élaboration du savoir et du savoir-faire de l'urbaniste des années 1900 aux années 1970
French town planning, born at the beginning of the 20th century, seeks scientific bases and a method. The abundant and varied use of biological images brings epistemological convenience but also confusions. The ideas of evolution and organism induce in town planners representations of memory and urban history which stimulate debate and which reveal the difficulty of laying down the laws of the urban with certainty. The idea of law, approximated to time and the life, makes it possible to touch one of the major ambiguities of discourse : the passage from the law of urban development and functioning, which is considered to be natural, to normative or prescriptive law. It is in the conception of urban political time that these problems arise. And the narrative of the city, written or implicit, is the object where the issues of the debate are best read. We study here the texts of town planners by making them dialogue with each other, and by referring to the philosophers, to whom town planners sometimes refer, in order to clarify as much as possible the representations of time and of life which govern the elaboration of the the knowledge and know-how of the town planner from the 1900s to the 1970s

Abstract (sommario):
Cette thèse propose d'explorer les textes que Henri Lefebvre (1901-1991) a consacré à un projet de connaissance des rythmes, une « rythmanalyse », terme qu'il emprunte à Gaston Bachelard, pour contribuer à ce que nous appelons une poétique urbaine. Henri Lefebvre a laissé une œuvre fondatrice dans les études urbaines contemporaines en théorisant l'avènement de la société urbaine moderne et en produisant une théorie critique de l'urbanisme et des espaces et des temps sociaux qui en résultent. Nous montrons que la théorie critique est solidaire d'une poétique issue du romantisme révolutionnaire de l'auteur, qu'il développe au contact de pratiques artistiques, notamment celles de l'Internationale Situationniste. À l'encontre de ce qu'il analyse comme le processus d'abstraction de l'espace et du temps urbain, la rythmanalyse fait partie de la quête d'un espace-temps approprié à même de métamorphoser la société urbaine et de restituer le corps total, afin que l'urbain devienne l’œuvre de l'homme. Lefebvre ne propose pas seulement une méthodologie qualitative d'observation des rythmes, mais une expérimentation rythmanalytique, dont nous pouvons imaginer la pratique sous la forme de l'utopie expérimentale. La rythmanalyse fournit ainsi les idées directrices d'une poétique appliquée, à même de créer des formes, des textures et des styles pour l'habiter urbain. Cette poétique urbaine, à la fois création et connaissance, procède par des pratiques expérimentales et restitue le jeu rythmique qui enrichit l'expérience esthétique de l'espace et du temps urbain
This thesis proposes to explore the texts that Henri Lefebvre (1901-1991) devoted to his project of understanding rhythms, his « rhythmanalysis », a term borrowed from Gaston Bachelard, to contribute to what we call an urban poetics. Henri Lefebvre has produced fundamental work in contemporary urban studies in both his theorization of the advent of modern urban society, and his elaboration of a critical theory of urban planning with its resultant social spaces and temporalities. We show that this critical theory unfolds in line with his construction of a poetics, which is inspired by the revolutionary romanticism that the author developed through his contact with artistic practices, especially those of the Situationnist International. Against his analysis of abstraction as an inherent process of urban space and time, his rhythmanalysis contributes to the creation of an appropriate space-time, with its ability to transform urban society and reconfigure the Total body so that what is urban can be instead considered a work of art. Lefebvre provides not only a qualitative methodology for the observation of rhythms, but also the outline of a rhythmanalytic experimentation, which can be associated with the practices of an experimental utopia. Rhythmanalysis offers guidelines for an applied poetics; it goes as far as creating forms, textures and styles for urban living. This urban poetics, simultaneously a creative act and one steeped in knowledge, proceeds through experimentation and restores the rhythmic game that enriches our aesthetic experience of urban space and time

Abstract (sommario):
Art History
Ph.D.
"Prehistoric Town Planning in Crete" was published in 1950 by Richard Hutchinson. He determined there was no evidence of town planning on Minoan Crete except for two instances. Hutchinson's approach compared the layout of the few excavated Minoan towns to other contemporary sites, such as Kahun, Egypt and Harrappa, India. These towns were laid out in grid-like squares, on flat, level ground. Compared to these sites the settlements on Crete appeared as an amalgamation of disorganized, organic growth. More than half a century has elapsed between Hutchinson's article and this study. Within that time many more Minoan sites and towns have been excavated and published. This greater corpus offers an opportunity to examine Minoan town planning with a new eye. This greater number of excavated Minoan towns allows for a study of town planning by comparing Minoan communities to one another. When an investigation is done comparing sites within Crete only, a pattern starts to emerge. To accomplish this analysis nine elements of Minoan town planning are defined, examined at individual sites, and compared among settlements. These nine elements are: 1. A street system adhering to the natural contours of the land 2. Buildings arranged in irregular, attached blocks defined by the street system 3. A large plateia or centrally located community court easily accessible from all parts of the town 4. Other open public spaces throughout the settlement 5. An elite building near the plateia 6. Public buildings in which there is no habitation 7. Semi-public buildings 8. Built fortifications 9. Extramural dependencies, which are structural features or natural areas outside the borders of the town proper but are an integral part of the community This comparison elucidates a very specific and existing type of Minoan town planning. It began at least as early as Early Minoan II and reached its apogee in Late Minoan I. What at first glance looks random, is not. Minoan towns were laid out within the constraints of the local landscape and with the desired aesthetic. The result was a lifestyle in LM I far beyond subsistence living.

Abstract (sommario):
(résumé en français)

Le diagnostic de Rem Koolhaas sur les métropoles actuelles montre une ville générique, sans fin, sans identité, sans passé, sans rues, la seule activité qui reste est le shopping et la condition « in-transit » devient universelle. À cette analyse manque une partie très importante, la condition biopolitique de la métropole, qui expliquerait plusieurs des caractéristiques de ce Junkspace, comme le fait qu’il contient la possibilité de résistance face au générique.

À la lumière de ce constat et suivant les directions de pensée que Gilles Deleuze et Félix Guattari ouvrent dans Mille Plateaux, cette thèse propose d’identifier les intervalles témoignant de la dimension biopolitique du Junkspace au travers d’une mobilisation de la théorie des agencements comme hypothèse pour la théorie architecturale et urbaine. Le postulat général est que ces intervalles seraient des territoires entre-deux qui fonctionneraient comme des laboratoires d’agencements témoignant d’une pratique architecturale politique redéfinissant le rôle même de l’architecte.

Trois axes de recherche sont déployés. Le premier interroge la pertinence d’une pensée architecturale en termes d’agencements dans le contexte des transformations actuelles des territoires. À la suite d’un croisement avec la pensée de Deleuze et Guattari l’architecture se comprend dans son processus d’agencement et réagencement. Le second axe interroge la dimension biopolitique du Junkspace identifiant les points critiques de ses agencements et évaluant le paradoxe de l’entre-deux. Le troisième axe met à l’épreuve le potentiel des territoires entre-deux de créer des opportunités pour de nouvelles configurations spatiales.

(english abstract)

Rem Koolhaas’s diagnostic of the modern metropolis shows a generic city with no end, no identity, no past, no streets where the only activity remaining is shopping and the « in-transit » condition is becoming universal. An important part is missing from this analysis: the biopolitical condition of the metropolis, that could explain a number of Junkspace’s characteristics, like the fact that it contains the possibility to resist the generic condition.

In the light of this review and in accordance with the philosophical directions that Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari draw in A Thousand Plateaus, this research intends to identify the intervals witnessing the biopolitical dimension of Junkspace by rallying the assemblage theory as hypothesis for the architectural and urban theory. The general postulate is that these intervals are in-between territories functioning as laboratories of assemblages that show a political and resistant architectural practice redefining the very part of the architect.

Three lines of research are deployed. The first one questions the relevance of an architectural assemblage thinking in the context of the current territorial transformations. Operating a crossing with Deleuze and Guattari’s thought, architecture is understood as a process of assembling and re-assembling. The second line of research is questioning the biopolitical dimension of Junkspace identifying the critical points of its assemblages and evaluating the in-between paradox. The third research line is testing the in-between territories potential to create opportunities for new spatial configurations.

Abstract (sommario):
This creative project has provided an example of a community participatory planning process in a small town setting. In this study the process specified by The Small Town Planning Handbook by Daniels, Keller And Lapping (1988) was compared to and supplemented by other contemporary small town and general planning literature. The specified process was designed to be a self help means for a small town to plan and subsequently compile an abbreviated town plan ("Miniplan"). The process was then applied to the Town of Lynn, Indiana as a case study. This study includes discussion and analysis of the study process as it occurred and resulted in several lessons learned. The most significant conclusion is that small towns cannot entirely plan on a self help basis. A visiting planner (eg. circuit rider or consultant) or a trained facilitator is necessary to guide the process. The resulting town planning study document (plan) is appended to this study for reference.

Laugier’s Primitive Hut from 1755 depicts reason as a muse enthroned upon the ruins of the classical orders, pointing towards nature as a way forward. Similarly, in 1841 Joseph Paxton designed a glass conservatory at Chatsworth for the tropical Victoria regia water lily, which literally referenced the lily pad veins as structural system. This preoccupation with nature as a design generator continues in the 20th century with digital tools that derive architectural form using biomimicry, in the work of R & Sie. All these projects are based on a dialectic relationship between architecture and nature, where the particular model of nature is translated into form. This relationship in landscape architecture is discussed through the idea of the biomorphic. Applied as a guiding principle to investigate vegetation and plant form in the 17th Century Company’s Gardens arguing that the generation of the biomorphic can be adjusted to serve as a mechanism to understand plant form in terms of effect.

Abstract (sommario):
The broad aim of this study is to develop a greater understanding of modern British Town Planning by examining, in depth, its operation during the 1920s and early 1930s, i. e. the period of the Second Town Planning Act. Two main themes are explored; the ideology of town planning and, the practical achievements of the activity. These are studied in their national context and in several empirical studies of events on Teesside and in Hartlepool. The ideology of town planning is seen to be dominated by the notion of consensus. This is seen as part of a wider process in British political life. Such a notion fitted into the view of town planning as a non-political, technical activity. In practice, it is demonstrated that consensus was rarely achieved and dominant landowning forces usually achieved their ends in any conflict over land-use with the aid of the Ministry of Health. The practical achievements of town planning in this period are generally portrayed as weak and of little interest. This study demonstrates that although the scope of town planning was deliberately limited it was reasonably successful in meeting its objectives. The experience of town planning by growing numbers of local authorities in the 1920s and early 1930s helped to lay the foundation of modern town planning. Without this experience it is doubtful if the accomplishments of town planning in the 1940s and 1950s would have been possible. Whilst the experience of town planning between 1919 and 1933 is seen to be much richer and more important than commonly realised the scope and purpose of the activity is seen as limited from the outset by narrow political objectives.

Abstract (sommario):

Elbert Peets (1886-1968) designed some significant town plans in the early to mid-twentieth century. His design work was successful and well regarded at the time, and his plans for Greendale, Wisconsin and Park Forest, Illinois were influential for post-World War II suburban developments. These town plans, and others such as Wyomissing, Pennsylvania and Washington Highlands, Wisconsin have continued to be vibrant and successful neighborhoods. Peets also wrote widely, and most notably was the co-author of The American Vitruvius; An Architect’s Handbook of Urban Design. However, though these contributions were notable, Peets has been largely neglected in the historiography of twentieth century urban and landscape studies. Histories of the period have tended to focus on a few heroic figures and major movements like the advent of International Style modernism. This study adds to the history of the period by showing that the appearance of a monolithic narrative of the time is incomplete and that including alternative points of view like Peets’s provides both a more accurate and more interesting history.

There are three primary arguments for this study. The first is that the quality of the work itself merits recognition. Beyond noting that there was interesting work being done, the qualities that made Peets’s work notable, emphasis on user-centered humanistic designs, inclusion of site-specific ecological features, and concentration on the primacy of social streets as the centerpiece of neighborhood plans, were distinctly at odds with the dominant narrative of the modernist agenda. The second argument, and the one that has not received attention, is that the plans incorporate sensitivity to ecological concerns that grew from the growth of scientific forestry, the rise of ecological science, and the growing conservation movement at the beginning of the twentieth century. Peets was exposed to these trends from his education at Harvard’s Landscape Program, and to a greater degree than his contemporaries, he incorporated those concepts into his town plans in the form of riparian protection zones and greenways. Finally, this study will interrogate the reasons that Peets has been overlooked. His association with the Garden City movement and with a precedent-based design approach at the time that European modernism as advocated by Le Corbusier, Gropius, and Hilberseimer resulted in his being associated with a traditionalism and historicism that was falling out of fashion. This study will recognize Peets’s contributions, and more broadly will investigate how the vagaries of fashion in design trends result in a significant figure being overlooked.

This study will challenge the dominant narrative of the rise of modernism by recognizing an alternative and competing path for urban design. Peets’s work, along with other critiques of the modernist agenda that noted the anti-urbanist implications of modernist urban renewal and its devaluing of social streets, illustrates an overlooked and valuable episode in the trajectory of mid-century urban planning practice and urban theory.

Thesis (M.C.P.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2009.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 98-104).
The tornado that hit Greensburg, Kansas, in May 2007, traveled down the center of Main Street at two hundred and five miles per hour and destroyed ninety-five percent of the town's built environment. The extensive damage was devastating to a town that was already struggling with job loss, depopulation, and economic decline. When Greensburg unexpectedly announced it would rebuild green, the town captured national attention as a symbol of a sustainable revitalization strategy. This thesis examines Greensburg's recovery with the hope of identifying how other cities can learn from its example. For Greensburg, rebuilding green means creating a healthy future for the next generation. Greensburg interprets green to not only signify environmental conservation, but also, if not more importantly, a strategy for community development and economic stability. Greensburg is fortunate to have visionary leadership and outside financial assistance, but these factors alone would not have been enough to resurrect the town. Greensburg is rebuilding green for its community's future, but in order to rebuild at all, Greensburg first needed the support of its community. Before the storm, the greater Greensburg community was not especially involved in civic affairs or environmental issues. The community became invested in its future and committed to green as a result of three key factors, all of which can be implemented elsewhere.
(cont.) The combination of the extensive environmental education efforts, the growing excitement for reversing the town's decline and the term 'green's ability to resonate with a wide range of interests, encouraged Greensburg residents and business owners to return to the town and inspired them to rebuild green. Greensburg's strategic application of green planning is relevant not only to other small, rural towns, but also to any city that is considering revitalizing a neighborhood. Greensburg integrated green elements into almost every aspect of its recovery. By building weather-resistant, energy efficient buildings and renewable energy infrastructure, instituting new green building policies and pursuing green manufacturing businesses to provide employment opportunities, among many initiatives, Greensburg is using green to create a long-term plan for the town, in order to serve both its natural resources and its community.

Abstract (sommario):
City growth policies codify community values and serve as the basis for enforcement of community standards. If these policies do not match resident preferences for growth, potential exists for communities to grow in ways which make the community undesirable. This thesis examines whether adopted city growth policies match resident preferences in small towns in Utah. Findings include a strong relationship between resident preferences and city leader preferences for growth. Also, city staffs are poor readers of public sentiment relative to growth and growth management. Some cities are more effective in enacting city policies to match resident attitudes towards growth than others, specifically; it seems that cities which have already experienced growth have policies which more closely match resident preferences. This thesis has relevance to the adoption of city growth policies in rural Utah cities. Since city staffs in small towns tend to be poor readers of resident attitudes, whereas city elected officials are much better readers of public opinion, it is important that city policy be instituted at the impetus of elected leaders rather than on the recommendation of city personnel. Failure to adopt city policies regarding growth may lead to growth which is undesirable to city residents.

As a result cities are becoming increasingly densified especially in developing countries2. Densification, and the associated growth, provides many social and cultural benefits, but can lead to increased pollution, environmental degradation, the destruction of existing urban fabric, a lack of greenery, a lack of light to street level, unmanageably large, decaying buildings and increased pressures on infrastructure. This dissertation argues that the design of densified spaces is of utmost importance if we are to maintain a healthy operating space for humanity and the planet. Since before the industrial revolution our society has become governed by a mechanistic way of thinking that originates from technology and science. These thought patterns have shaped the way we design and perceive architecture globally. Many other aspects of society are also influenced by the same mechanistic thought, including our global economic system. This system focuses on indefinite growth; a goal that our finite planet cannot sustain. This paradigm suggests that new, complex approaches to city growth need to be considered to avoid impending disasters. Over Growth investigates various biological concepts that can be applied to densification. Metabolism is used to understand how Cape Town can become more socially and ecologically sound. It suggests that to retain its local character and multi-cultural identity new buildings should grow over valuable, existing urban fabric. The cell is used to interrogate basic increments of city growth. These range from from the scale of an urban block, to individual ERF sizes and to the basic units of the proposed architecture. Symbiosis suggests that cities can exist in harmony with the natural environment. City growth, as an organic process, facilitates the necessary shift away from rational, dualistic thinking towards more complex solutions. These ideas are applied to the South African context, and in particular, a site on Bree Street. Many cities in the developing world continue to aspire to the western models of development. The development of Cape Town is thus threatened by the predominant mechanistic worldview. Conversations with Gawie Fagan, an architect and occupant of the chosen site, gave insight into the city's future and its past, explained later. In general this process was open, collaborative and interdisciplinary to be congruent with the push towards complexity over mechanistic thinking. In short, I develop an approach to architecture that could most suitably alleviate the negative affects of densification in central Cape Town. These include: the deconstruction of spatial hierarchies by using the idea of cellularity to create a more diverse, inclusive social realm; the adaptation, configuration and tectonic of cells; the provision of structure, services and greening to accommodate future additions in a layered 'over growth' that is simultaneously occupied and under construction; and the malleability of the city's zoning regulations and its densification strategy.

Abstract (sommario):
This thesis traces the Cape Town Council's housing policy from 1920 to 1940 in relation to those citizens (in this instance members of the Coloured community) who could not afford to home themselves. The onus to provide such housing in urban areas rested upon the local authority in terms of the Housing Act No. 35 of 1920. The 'racial factor' is put into context, the thesis maintaining that the 'Cape liberal tradition' notwithstanding, for Cape Town as for all other South African municipalities, there was no question but that separate housing provision would be provided for the separate racial groups. District Six is shown to have been one of the most overcrowded, poverty-stricken and neglected areas in the city, and quite naturally occupies a leading role in the thesis. The effects of the Slums Act No. 53 of 1934 on District Six is emphasised: the Act was used not only to facilitate slum demolition, but, more importantly, to enable Council to plan an entirely new District Six on the Council-made ruins of the old. This thesis thus maintains that, contrary to previous research, the Slums Act was concerned only with slum elimination, and was not designed to ensure alternative accommodation for evicted slum dwellers. Instead, it was used to fashion a proposed new town plan for Cape Town. The plan for a new District Six which emerged in 1940 would have meant the annihilation of the District as sorely as the whites-only promulgation under the Group Areas Act in 1966 did. This is examined in the last-but-one chapter. Early in 1936 a new interpretation of the Slums Act which had not been apparent when the Act was promulgated in 1934, enabled the Council to ignore the rehousing of evicted slum dwellers. Now it was ruled that slum demolition should not be held back 'by the use of the excuse' that no alternative accommodation was available for the victims. The Slums Act, ironically, thus relieved the Council of the responsibility of rehousing evicted slum dwellers. By this stage, it was apparent that the City Engineer was not interested in the restoration and upgrading of individual buildings in District Six, but was bent on obtaining, by judicious demolition, as many areas as possible of 'suitable size and dimensions' for further development, not necessarily rehousing. Another preoccupation of this thesis is the Council's dilatory response to the housing needs of its citizens, the thesis assessing the responsible factors. Emphasising Council's ineptness or unwillingness to get to grips with the housing crisis, is a chapter on the Council's housing of the poor and the very poor. All in all this thesis demonstrates the Council's over-riding reluctance to 'burden' the ratepayers with the provision of much-needed housing, a reluctance emphasised by Council's oft-repeated protestations that contemplated housing schemes would not cost the ratepayers a penny. As shown, this was indeed true - housing was profitable and a 'good investment' for the city. This factor was, however, conveniently ignored, Council pursuing a parsimonious housing policy dreadfully slowly, never going beyond the fringes of the city's housing needs.
