We would like to give thanks for the completion of the book, The Analysis of Sense of Place of Malioboro Shopping Street, A Study about Physical and Social Factors in a Historic Commercial Area. The book contains various factors affecting the growth of sense of place in Malioboro area which has become a tourism object supporting the regional economy. Not only is The Malioboro area historically and architecturally attractive, but it also has unique social conditions and physical factors which will be discussed in this book. It is hoped that factors perceived to be necessary from the views of the visitors could serve as valuable feedback both theoretically as well as practically in the field.
ÖNSÖZ Her ülke kendisini Dünya’nın merkezi olarak görüp ülküleri ve söylencelerini de bu temel fikir etrafında geliştirir. Nitekim Çince’de Çin sözcüğü, “Merkez Ülke” (中国) Japonca’da Japon sözcüğü “Güneşin Temeli” (Nippon,日本) anlamında kullanılmaktadır. Daha isimlendirmede bir düş ve karizmatik hedef üretilmektedir. Her ülke kendisini medeniyetin merkezi ve Dünya’nın kalbi olarak görüyorsa biz de evrenin merkez kişiliği olarak insanı Dünya yerçizim odağı şeklinde düşündük. Endonezya’nın işgal ettiği alan, bir ülke olmayı aşıp kıta gibi büyük bir bölgeyi işgal eder. Bir insan şekli göz önüne getiriniz. C...
This comprehensive guide will enable readers to set up observations and choose when it is most appropriate to use structured or unstructured techniques.
This collection of essays is concerned with the experiences children have within the supervised worlds they inhabit, as well as with architecture and landscape architecture. International examples of innovative childcare practice are illustrated together with the design processes which informed their development. The emphasis here is on new and experimental childcare projects which set-out to reassert the rights of children to participate in a complex multi-faceted world, which is no longer available to them, unless under adult supervision. Research supports in depth recommendations regarding the ideal children's environment, across a range of contexts and dimensions. Until recent times, the...
Globalization and Social Change takes a refreshing new perspective on globalization and widening social and spatial inequalities. Diane Perrons draws on ideas about the new economy, risk society, welfare regimes and political economy to explain the growing social and spatial divisions characteristic of our increasingly divided world. Combining original argument with a clear exposition of the underlying processes, Perrons illustrates her points through a series of case studies linking people in rich and poor countries. She places strong emphasis on the socio-economic aspects of change, particularly changes in working patterns and living arrangements, and makes reference to the new global divi...
The concept of conserving heritage for future generations is not a new idea. However, with recent digital advances, this task can be done much more efficiently and cultural properties can be better preserved for future populations. Digital Innovations in Architectural Heritage Conservation: Emerging Research and Opportunities highlights the most innovative trends in electronic preservation techniques. Featuring extensive coverage on relevant topics such as cultural complexities, participative heritage, architectural backgrounds, and virtual reconstruction, this is an ideal publication for all academicians, graduate students, engineers, and researchers interested in expanding their knowledge on current heritage conservation systems and practices.
Explores current issues, empirical research and literature central to the relationship between human behaviour and the environment. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the authors discuss applications of environmental psychology and strategies for environmental problem-solving.
This book shifts the focus from Critical Regionalism towards a broader concept of 'Transcultural Architecture' and defines Critical Regionalism as a subgroup of the latter. One of the benefits that this change of perspective brings about is that a large part of the political agenda of Critical Regionalism, which consists of resisting attitudes forged by typically Western experiences, is 'softened' and negotiated according to premises provided by local circumstances. At the book’s centre is an analysis of Reima and Raili Pietilä’s Sief Palace Area project in Kuwait. Further cases of modern architecture in China, Korea, and Saudi Arabia show that the critique, which holds that Critical Regionalism is a typical 'western' exercise, is not sound in all circumstances. Furthermore, the book proposes that a certain 'architectural rationality' can be contained in architecture itself - not imposed by outside parameters like aesthetics, comfort or even tradition.
This Design and Development Guide is an essential book for those who are involved in the initiation, planning, design and building of facilities for the various performing arts, from local to metropolitan locations. It includes the stages in the development, decisions to be taken, information requirements, feasibility and advice necessary in the design and development of a new or adapted building. Part one of this guide provides the background information about the organisation of the performing arts, the prevailing issues, the client and various building types. In the second part, the author deals with the components of design and development, identifying the roles of the client, advisors a...
"This richly illustrated and designed book in the "Architecture in Focus" series reconsiders critical regionalism and demonstrates the global viability of one of the most visible trends in contemporary architecture. As globalization increasingly enters every facet of our lives, its homogenizing effects on architecture, urban spaces and the landscape have compelled architects to embrace the principles of critical regionalism, an alternative theory that respects local culture, geography and climate. In this reexamination of critical regionalism, two prominent architectural critics argue for a truce between the seemingly antithetical philosophies of critical regionalism and globalization. The a...
