Si bien el cambio climático, la arquitectura sostenible y las tecnologías ecológicas son cuestiones perfectamente asentadas en el imaginario colectivo, no ha ocurrido lo mismo con aquellos temas que afectan a la sostenibilidad de la ciudad. Este libro nace precisamente de la apremiante necesidad de abordar el urbanismo desde un enfoque ecologico como metodo practico e imaginativo para enfrentarse a la realidad de la ciudad, y constituye, por ello, una apuesta deliberada por asentar definitivamente el concepto de ?urbanismo ecologico? a traves del compendio de una serie de textos clave sobre la materia.

"Urbanismo ecológico es una iniciativa de la Graduate School of Design de la Harvard University que entiende el proyecto como una síntesis capaz de conectar la ecología y el urbanismo. La iniciativa intenta poner de manifiesto metodos imaginativos y practicos para abordar los cambios climaticos y la sostenibilidad en el entorno urbano, entendiendo la ecologia como un proyecto etico y politico que engloba el medio ambiente, no solo como realidad fisica, sino tambien desde las relaciones sociales y la subjetividad humana."En 2014 se publico en castellano y portugues el primer volumen de Urbanismo ecologico, una compilacion de los textos surgidos de esta linea de investigacion y accion urbanistica de la celebre universidad estadounidense. La aparicion de este volumen dio origen a una serie de encuentros y debates en diversos paises de America Latina y al conjunto de ensayos y obras que se recogen ahora en Urbanismo ecologico en America Latina. Este nuevo volumen, editado por Mohsen Mostafavi, Gareth Doherty, Marina Correia, Ana Maria Duran Calisto y Luis Valenzuela, presenta la realidad compleja y poliedrica de America Latina a partir de siete ejes tematicos -anticipar, colaborar, sentir, incluir, movilizar, comisariar, adaptar- que dialogan con la publicacion original y exploran nuevas interpretaciones.Parques, sistemas fluviales, chinampas, So Paulo, Santiago de Chile, infraestructuras educativas, movilidad, agroecologia, Diana Wiesner, Elemental, Erminia Maricato, Tomas Saraceno, Solano Benitez, Guilherme Wisnik, Teresa Moller, Carla Juaçaba. Multiplicidad de casos y miradas aportan una panoramica excepcional para el debate de lo urbano y lo politico a la luz de la ecologia y la sostenibilidad.

[ES] En el siglo XIX las ciudades europeas y españolas experimentaron una transformación notable. El paso del Antiguo al Nuevo Régimen tuvo una incidencia directa en la evolución del urbanismo. Salamanca, como capital de provincia, no fue ajena a esta realidad; sin embargo, su escaso desarrollo demografico e industrial ralentizo los procesos de desarrollo urbano. El cambio de imagen de la ciudad comenzo con los efectos de la Guerra de la Independencia y las desamortizaciones posteriores, que provocaron la ruina de un numero importante de edificios. El ascenso al poder de los gobiernos liberales impulso una avalancha de iniciativas encaminadas a dar a la ciudad un aspecto mas acorde con el gusto y la mentalidad de la burguesia dominante. Las calles San Pablo y Rua son un buen reflejo de la influencia que estos procesos tuvieron en las calles de Salamanca. Ademas de las transformaciones en la red viaria, a lo largo del siglo mejoraron las infraestructuras, como las de abastecimiento de agua, saneamiento o alumbrado. Los adelantos tambien se dejaron notar en los servicios y las dotaciones, con el levantamiento de un mercado, un cementerio, un matadero y un teatro. Tambien mejoro sensiblemente durante la segunda mitad de siglo la red de comunicaciones, con la construccion de carreteras modernas. La llegada del ferrocarril en 1877 supuso la mejora mas sensible en este aspecto.[EN]: European and Spanish cities underwent a considerable transformation in the XIX century. The shift from the Old to New Regime had a direct effect on the evolution of urban planning. Salamanca, as capital of a province, was not out of touch with this reality; however, its low demographic and industrial development slowed down plans for urban expansion. The citys image began to change with the effects of the War of Independence, as well as the subsequent expropriation of land that caused a significant number of buildings to be knocked down. The rise to power of liberal governments sparked an avalanche of initiatives aimed at giving the city an appearance that was more in line with the taste and mentality of the bourgeoisie. Streets such as San Pedro and Rua are a prime example of the influence that this process had on Salamancas streets. In addition to changes in the citys roadways, other infrastructures such as city plumbing and the electric grid also improved significantly throughout the century. Advances in services and endowments were also quite noticeable with the building of a market, cemetery, slaughterhouse, and theatre. The citys connection to other areas also improved in the second half of the century with the construction of modern roads. The arrival of the railway in 1877 was the greatest improvement in this regard.

In Urban Polyphony: Architectures, Urbanisms, and Meditations, the author draws a panorama of the more than eighteen years of the Levisky Arquitetos | Estratégia Urbana architecture firm, discussing and showing the projects that they have been developing, such as the Diversity Boulevard, the expansion project of Albert Einstein Hospital, the Open Museum of Colonias Crater, requalification of Jardim Colombo neighborhood, Colegio Santa Cruz, Senac So Miguel Unit, City Caxingui neighborhood, Victor Civita Square and Jockey Club So Paulo.Throughout this book, Adriana Levisky shares with the reader her impressions about the role of the architect and urban planner as being proactive and a mediator, considering aspects that go beyond the regional dynamics from places, discussing social, economic, legal, cultural, geographical, and political matters, highlighting the importance of this active voice to propose projects that can provide a better quality of life in cities.With this book launch, Senac So Paulo aims to instill the contemplation and propel new solutions for the urban environment from the view and experience of someone who works daily with architecture and urbanism in a metropolis.

The projects illustrated here exemplify the way contemporary urban planning is moving in practice, and how it is precisely in the effective transformation of cities and landscapes that it is finding the theoretical and practical forms of its action. An urban planning that, as has recently been pointed out, having emancipated itself from the typo-morphological tradition focused on the built, is now coming to embrace the open spaces of the city within the horizon of the landscape, allowing it to incorporate infrastructures and other complex systems once considered incompatible with the urban character. From this is emerging a set of attitudes and fragmentary reflections that in a process of trial is defining lateral approaches, routes that cut across the habits of design and planning. A research that does not set itself poetic and stylistic goals, but manipulates building, landscape, geographical and infrastructural materials as an inevitable condition of operation.

This book offers a deep exploration of architectural and urban heritage, using interdisciplinary and intercultural approaches to assess how historical, social, economic and political factors have impacted heritage development and its sustainability. It sheds light on the stakes of heritage conservation, management and maintenance in todays globalised world.Through detailed studies of historic cities, the book explores both the tangible aspects of their built heritage (urban fabric, housing design, construction methods and materials for thermal comfort) and the intangible components of local communities (including identities, cultures, religions, values and ways of life) in diverse case studies in Egypt, France, India, Iran, Jordan, Morocco, Syria and Tunisia.By addressing not only urban and architectural heritage but also socio-cultural, environmental and political issuesincluding economic challenges and climatic concernsthis book is an essential resource for scholars and researchers across fields, including architecture, civil engineering, urban planning, sociology and philosophical anthropology.

"Dont look at them, look at me," a peacock seemed to be saying as he posed magnificently between the audience and the Shakespearean play being performed by Theatre Set-Up in the open air at Trevarno, Cornwall, effectively upstaging it. "I am really worth looking at!" Fed up with the noise that was disturbing his rest in the tree above the play, his was a deliberate attempt to stop it. Often though, the interference of creatures in the companys performances was accidental "It is dreadful thing to see the wig that transforms your character being carted off by a fox!" cried an actress as she watched a fox race off with the red wig she had set in the open-air stage right changing area of Wollaton Hall, Nottingham. Evidently he had rescued the wig from this improvised theatre arena, mistaking it for one of his cubs! This was typical of the chaos that birds, bats, cats, dogs, sheep and horses could make of open-air performances in heritage sites. Add to that the confusion that rain, storms, wind and hot sun could add to the experience and an element of adventure unknown in regular indoor venues prevailed. This book tells the anecdotes of these adventures in this kind of theatre experienced by the international, professional Theatre Set-Up company (see www.ts-u.co.uk), which survived the vicissitudes of touring mostly open-air performances of Shakespeare in heritage sites from 1976 to 2011, performing throughout the UK from 1979 and in mainland Europe from 1993. Venues and gear of the company were transferred to The Festival Players in 2011. Its tours in 1979, 1980 and 1981 pioneered the genre, a species of theatre which has since then proliferated, providing many actors with paid employment and heritage sites with performances of plays presented conveniently with the minimum of fuss, cost and accoutrements. The companies bravely performing in this kind of theatre all experience the kinds of incidents recorded in this book, which salutes their courage and determination to "Carry on Regardless"!About the Author: Dr Wendy Jean Macphee was a teacher and lecturer in English, drama and music from 1960 to 2012 and was founder, administrator, artistic director, actor and musician for Theatre Set-Up. She now writes books (see Secret Meanings in Shakespeare Applied to Stage Performance, www.wjm-travelogue.net and www.wjm-pyramid.uk).

Up from Slavery & Working With the Hands are two autobiographical works of Booker T. Washington and they offer a profound exploration of the life and legacy of a prominent American educator and advocate. In his autobiography, "Up from Slavery," Washington recounts his remarkable journey from enslavement during the Civil War to becoming a leading figure in education. The narrative details his struggles to attain an education at the Hampton Institute and the subsequent establishment of vocational schools, including the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama.

This continuation provides a nuanced perspective on the practical application of his educational philosophy, showcasing the importance of acquiring skills that contribute to economic self-sufficiency.Together, these autobiographical works encapsulate Washingtons enduring commitment to education, economic empowerment, and the advancement of marginalized communities.

Il tartufo e un regalo della Provvidenza che va oltre la scienza, e una fonte inesauribile di emozioni. Ce molta scienza ma ancora pochi racconti sulle persone che hanno fatto la storia della ricerca del tartufo. Questo libro e un tributo a chi negli anni ha contribuito con passione ed esperienza a esaltare la trifola locale addestrando cani da tartufo e passando dalla raccolta, alla commercializzazione, al suo uso in cucina e nelle sagre. Le nuove macchine che scavano in profondita il terreno pregno di concimi e veleni hanno quasi estinto i funghi e le tartufaie naturali in golena e nelle campagne. Il tartufo bianco e il tartufo nero stanno scomparendo, anche i sapori sono cambiati. Bisogna agire subito. Risolvere il problema della sparizione del tartufo significa migliorare la nostra vita. In conclusione quindi alcune proposte: quanta elettricita puo produrre lacqua del Po che viaggia da Torino fino a Venezia? Cosa centra con il tartufo? A corredo del volume le fotografie e i racconti dei trifolin di Bonizzo e Borgofranco sul Po, che ancora chiedono: Ghela? incoraggiando il cane a una nuova ricerca. Luciano Boselli (1941) e nato, cresciuto e vissuto nella campagna mantovana a ridosso del fiume Po. Ha rotto le scatole per quarantacinque lunghi anni di lavoro come geometra. Invece di gustarsi la pensione in assoluto riposo si sveglia una mattina e decide di dare lustro alla categoria dei trifolin e al mondo della trifola. Improvvisandosi scrittore ha raccolto memorie e pensieri in questo libro.

Questo testo teatrale affronta un tema che presenta facce diverse per la nostra societa occidentale: lOmosessualita. Ce una vera ostilita morale, religiosa ed etica che spesso ci fa dimenticare della dimensione privata ed intima di tale condizione.Per iniziare a cambiare questa mentalita sarebbe sufficiente ricorrere al buon senso; applicare la pietas; comprensione e rispetto per le altre persone; applicare la costituzione che ci proclama tutti uguali nei diritti e metterci -per una volta- nei panni degli altri!Vi faccio una domanda che richiede una risposta onesta e una riflessione: Voi quando avete scelto di essere eterosessuali? Dite mai? Che siete cosi per natura? Infatti nessuno sceglie. E allora perche un comportamento e giusto mentre laltro e SBAGLIATO?Le sette confessioni che compongono questo testo teatrale sono tutte storie vere, ma questo non vuol dire che tutto quello che narro lo sia. È vero lo spirito che le ha animate e la richiesta che voi ci riflettiate.
