Urban Challenges in the Globalizing Middle-East
This publication aims to investigate the nature of social life in public and urban spaces in the cities of the Middle East, considering the value of environmental approaches. It aims to develop a better understanding of the patterns of social interactions and activities in public places, which have been influenced by cultural heritage values. Sustainable and livable open spaces can help in improving living conditions in cities. Public spaces are relevant as they satisfy many human needs. In public spaces, people interact and meet; people with different cultures and social backgrounds can communicate and learn from each other in social and spontaneous ways. However, decision-makers tend to forget the value of public spaces, especially in the absence of a national regulatory framework in emerging globalized cities. The book provides a multi-disciplinary approach in reading the characteristics and values of public spaces in the emerging cities of the Middle East.
Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Architecture, Materials and Construction
This book gathers the proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Architecture, Materials and Construction (ICAMC), held in Lisbon, Portugal on October 27-29, 2021. ICAMC serves as an international forum for the presentation of the latest technological advances and research results in the fields of architecture and urban planning, civil and structural engineering, and materials manufacturing and processing. As such, it explores highly diverse topics, including innovative construction technologies (computer and digital manufacturing) and materials (polymers, composites, etc.); traditional materials (glass, wood, steel, concrete, stone, brick, etc.) and its harmonic combination which can be achieved by evaluating their structural and non-structural properties; the key concepts of efficiency and sustainability related to the architectural design and engineering of new buildings; analysis, rehabilitation and restoration of buildings. The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, highlight numerous exciting ideas that will spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaborations.
Tropical Constrained Environments and Sustainable Adaptations
This book investigates resource-constrained environments in the tropics and subtropics where people’s lives and businesses are affected, and adaptations occur periodically. Constrained environments are unique territories characterised by challenging circumstances, limited land and natural resources. They can be places with a small municipal boundary or cities in which parts around them may be consumed by ocean, bay or mountains. Those places face hard physical boundaries like coastlines and mountains, which in addition to policy decisions that may limit height or density, can also serve to limit capacity for expansion. Successful communities and businesses tend to survive in a changing environment given their strong intuitive and forward-looking adaptations. This book delves into the role of urban planning and design in the promotion of business and adaptations of people and communities. Additionally, the focus takes into account impact analysis and the effects of an expanding populations, including growing migrant flows, and business needs on the built environment of land-constrained territories
Urban Modernity in the Contemporary Gulf
Urban Modernity in the Contemporary Gulf offers a timely and engaging discussion on architectural production in the modernization era in the Arabian Peninsula. Focusing on the 20th century as a starting point, the book explores the display of transnational architectural practices resulting in different notions of locality, cosmopolitanism, and modernity. Contextually, with an eye on the present, the book reflects on the initiatives that recently re-engaged with the once ville moderne which, meanwhile, lost its pivotal function and meaning. A city within a bigger city, the urban fabric produced during the modernization era has the potential to narrate the social growth, East–West dynamics, ...
Isole Canarie
"Vulcani, siti preistorici, pinete rigogliose, paesaggi lunari, baie sabbiose e chilometri di dune. Oltre le località balneari delle Canarie, c'è un mondo da scoprire." Le Isole Canarie godono di una temperatura quasi perfetta tutto l'anno, e ciò significa che offrono, d'estate come d'inverno, panorami vari e affascinanti, che di solito si vedono soltanto recandosi in un altro continente. La varietà del paesaggio, insieme al bel tempo, favorisce ovviamente le attività all'aperto: passeggiate lungo i sentieri segnalati che attraversano le isole in tutti i sensi, salendo sulle montagne, incantatevi davanti alla vegetazione subtropicale del parco nazionale de La Gomera, alle vette ammantate di Gran Canaria o alle impetuose cascate di La Palma. Confronterete poi questa abbondanza di verde con i bassopiani spogli intorno a El Teide di Tenerife, il gioco di colori delle distese di lava di Lanzarote e le pianure infinite di Fuerteventura, punteggiate di cactus, arbusti e capre. All'interno della guida: Attività all'aperto Flora, fauna e vulcani Arte e cultura Itinerari sulle isole Contiene: Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma, El Hierro
