Researches on Urban and Architectural Design Studies
Kent ve kentsel yaşama dair bugünümüz, öğrendiklerimiz ve deneyimlerimiz geçmiş kültürlerin bizlere bıraktığı birikimin üzerine inşa edilerek biçimlenmiştir. Uygarlaşmanın ve uygar olmanın temel ölçütleri arasında yerleşik hayata geçiş ve kent düzenini oluşturmak yer alır. Bugünün kentleri, yaklaşık 5000 yıllık bir geçmiş içinde, tarihin sayfalarında bıraktığımız toplulukların, toplumların ve kültürlerin ürünü olarak; insan aklının, bilgisinin ve teknolojisinin sonucudur. Bu döngü ile kentler, sürekli gelişen ve gelişmeye devam edecek bir dinamizm içerirler. Modern dünya, onun şekillendirdiği toplumlar bu toplumların ortaya koy...
Endüstri Devrimi öncesinde çevremiz ve doğayla uyumlu yaşıyorduk. Ne zaman şehirler, fabrikalar kurmaya başladık, bütün gücün bizde olduğu ve istediğimiz her şeyi yapabileceğimiz yanılgısına düştük. Şimdiyse kendi yarattığımız ama yaşamaktan memnun olmadığımız bir çevrenin içine hapsolduk. Buradan kurtulma yolu ise yine doğaya dönmekten geçiyor. Bu kitapta gözlerimizi doğaya çevirerek ana enerji kaynağımız Güneş’i yeniden keşfediyoruz. Bu keşif A. Selin Mutdoğan editörlüğünde üç bölümde gerçekleşiyor. İlk bölüm olan ÖZ’de güneş enerjisinin önemi tarihî bir bakış açısıyla anlatılıyor ve yapılarımızda kullanabileceğimiz güneş odaklı pasif sistemler açıklanıyor. İkinci bölüm olan UYGULAMALAR, eski dönemlerden ve farklı coğrafyalardan örnekler içermesinin yanında modern uygulamaları da içinde barındırıyor. Son olarak, FARKLI BAKIŞLAR’da tasarımdan koparak farklı disiplinlerle Güneş’in ilişkisi inceleniyor. Bu yaklaşımla Güneş’in geçmişten geleceğe nasıl bir yol izlediğini ve gelecekte daha neler olacağını bize gösteren bir bilgi kaynağına ulaşıyoruz.
Design Expertise explores what it takes to become an expert designer.It examines the perception of expertise in design and asks what knowledge, skills, attributes and experiences are necessary in order to design well. Bryan Lawson and Kees Dorst develop a new model of design expertise and show how design expertise can be developed. This book is designed for all students, teachers, practitioners and researchers in architecture and design. To enable all readers to explore the book in a flexible way, the authors’ words are always found on the left hand page. On the right are diagrams, illustrations and the voices of designers, teachers and students and occasionally others too. 'Design Expertise' provides a provocative new reading on the nature of design and creative thought.
The recent emergence of the discipline of literary animal studies regards literature in itself as constitutive element of a history of knowledge. The discipline has led not only to the expansion of the corpus of texts traditionally connected with animals, but also established new concepts and methods for revising conventional cultural dichotomies (subject and object, human and animal). The 10 essays collected in this volume are devoted to a wide range of case studies on the relationship between animality and poetics in German-language literature since the 19th century. They display a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches to a number of texts packed with references to animals, considered not primarily as objects of literature, but as agents endowed with an active role in the production of literature, and which have left repressed or forgotten traces in texts.
This book focuses on the management and conservation of architectural heritage with the aim of increasing awareness about the value of such conservation and of saving what is left of history, which in turn rewards societies by supporting the tourism industry, generating economic return, and preserving communities’ identities. Since it has become an essential need to manage and conserve the architectural heritage in order to protect the identity and heritage of a city, there appeared a gap between the theory and its application. Therefore, a considerable amount of attention has been directed by experts in this field toward emphasizing the contribution of heritage conservation in order to inspire the development of imaginative, useful high-quality design.
One of the prevailing myths about the American family is that there once existed a harmonious family with three generations living together, and that this "ideal" family broke down under the impact of urbanization and industralization. The essays in this volume challenge this myth and provide dramatic revisions of simplistic notions about change in the American family. Based on detailed research in a variety of sources, including extensive oral history interviews of ordinary people, these essays examine major changes in family life, dispel myths about the past, and offer new directions in research and interpretation. The essays cover a wide spectrum of issues and topics, ranging from the organization of the family and household, to the networks available to children as they grow up, to the role of the family in the process of industralization, to the division of labor in the family along gender lines, and to the relations between the generations in the later years of life. While discussing family relations in the past and revising prevailing notions of social change, these interdisciplinary essays also provide important perspectives on the present.
This book examines urban identity and character through various essays by architects and city planners.
