At the intersection of architecture, art, public culture, and political theory, Socializing Architecture urges architects and urbanists to mobilize a new public imagination toward a more just and equitable urbanization. Drawn from decades of lived experience, Teddy Cruz and Fonna Forman engage the San DiegoTijuana border region as a global laboratory to address the central challenges of urbanization today: deepening social and economic inequality, dramatic migratory shifts, explosive urban informality, climate disruption, the thickening of border walls, and the decline of public thinking.Complementing Spatializing Justice, Socializing Architecture is the second part of a two-volume monograph. It continues to build a compelling case for architects and urban designers to intervene in the contested space between public and private interests. Through analysis and diverse case studies, the authors show how to alter the exclusionary policies and instead advance a more equitable and convivial architecture.Professors Cruz and Forman are principals in ESTUDIO TEDDY CRUZ + FONNA FORMAN, a research-based political and architectural practice in San Diego. They lead a variety of urban research agendas and civic/public interventions in the San Diego-Tijuana border region and beyond. Serving as directors, they are also invested in the University of Californias Center on Global Justice, which advances interdisciplinary research with an emphasis on collective action at community scale.

Este libro es a la vez un manual para los que ejercen su profesión en el campo del transporte y de la movilidad urbana, y una obra de reflexión para quienes se interrogan acerca de los problemas actuales de las ciudades. El autor propone un nuevo modelo de atencion a las distintas necesidades de relacion de los ciudadanos; apuesta firmemente por el transporte colectivo, en la certeza de que cada modo tiene unos requerimientos de demanda y distancia de desplazamiento que obligan a confiar en la intermodalidad como respuesta; y anima a proseguir en la tarea iniciada por muchos Ayuntamientos de rescatar el espacio publico urbano para el desplazamiento a pie o en bicicleta, menos contaminante, mas saludable y mas adecuado a las carencias de energia que amenazan al planeta.Pero, junto a la necesidad que preconiza de limitar la utilizacion del automovil privado en la ciudad, el autor recuerda, igualmente, que este modo de transporte ha de desempeñar todavia un papel importante en la satisfaccion del derecho a la conexion que tienen los ciudadanos que viven en las periferias dispersas de las ciudades, en las que no es facil ni util un sistema de transporte colectivo.Subyace en el texto la preocupacion por los problemas medioambientales, pero el autor antepone a su resolucion la preocupacion por la equidad social. Es este ultimo aspecto el que hace de este libro una obra de reflexion que alerta sobre el hecho de que, en un contexto de crisis, no son justas algunas medidas que pueden marginar a amplias capas de la poblacion.Como señala Gabriel Dupuy en su prologo, Manuel Herce ha elegido un enfoque en el que la apuesta politica resulta esencial: la movilidad entendida como un derecho. Este libro recuerda con acierto, pero con fuerza, las virtudes de un pragmatismo inspirado en la preocupacion por el bien comun.

Em reediço de best-seller, Raul Juste Lores expe as transformaçes arquitetonicas que tomaram a cidade de So Paulo entre os anos 1950 e 1960. Com ilustraçes de Danilo Zamboni. Entre 1950 e 1960, uma combinaço particular permitiu que a cidade de So Paulo fosse palco de uma revoluço ate ento inedita em sua historia a unio de arquitetos criativos, empreendedores ambiciosos e a disponibilidade de capital financeiro possibilitou as condiçes necessarias para que obras iconicas saissem das pranchetas e ganhassem as ruas da Pauliceia, modificando seu cenario arquitetonico. Sobrevoo sobre projetos como Copan, Conjunto Nacional, Galeria do Rock, edificio Italia, Bretagne, Paquita, entre tantos outros, So Paulo nas alturas apresenta a trajetoria de arquitetos e empreendedores que deixaram sua marca na capital paulista, alem de lançar luz sobre os erros e acertos nas escolhas urbanas que desenharam a cidade."Este livro mostra a cidade que começamos a construir, mas que se perdeu em meio a tecnocracia que privilegiou os carros e afastou os moradores da vida cotidiana, com seus muros, recuos dos predios e regras de Planos Diretores, promovendo a segregaço. Raul Juste Lores escreveu uma obra-prima sobre o nosso urbanismo e, tambem, sobre a nossa sociedade." Marcos Lisboa

Few cities have as rich a collection of modern buildings as So Paulo. Oscar Niemeyer, Vilanova Artigas, Lina Bo Bardi, Rino Levi and Paulo Mendes da Rocha are some of the best known names who built here. These architects, alongside many others, contributed decisively to making So Paulo a city with a unique built heritage, and with a legacy worthy of being appreciated and disseminated. This guide presents 124 works, built between 1925 and 2018, grouped into 12 routes laid out on sectorial maps of So Paulo, which allow for a larger extension of the city to be travelled, in order to better understand its scale, diversity and complexity.

Situaciones resume parte del trabajo desarrollado por la oficina de arquitectura y diseño República Portátil entre los años 2003 y 2018. Las siete obras que forman parte de este libro son definidas como cuerpos "debiles", temporales; instalaciones de diferentes escalas que se posicionan en el espacio publico para interactuar e intervenir en el cotidiano urbano. Concepcion, Arauco, Valparaiso y Chillan han sido el contexto para estas construcciones, generando diversas formas de ocupar e interactuar en los espacios publicos. Asi, en estas paginas, las obras se transforman en un relato que busca dar cuenta de las relaciones, conexiones y cambios que una instalacion arquitectonica puede provocar en el espacio urbano.

Sistemas urbanos: entre lo contextual y lo autorreferencial está centrado en el análisis, la interpretación, la argumentación y la intervención en los sistemas urbanos específicos de un territorio, a partir de una metodologia de trabajo que permite tanto el cruce como el decantamiento de informacion, con el fin de obtener propuestas concertadas acordes con las deficiencias o necesidades del lugar o sitio especifico de estudio. El autor ha implementado esta metodologia en estudios practicos de analisis y propuestas urbanas, teniendo en cuenta cuatro aspectos basicos que, a su vez, son las unidades del texto: los procesos formativos sobre sistemas urbanos; los principios de la teoria general, tradicional y moderna de los sistemas; los espacios emergentes como lugar borroso dentro del territorio, y las manifestaciones didacticas para la intervencion en los sistemas urbanos, en diferentes niveles territoriales.

Este libro parte de la idea de que hay un orden natural y que, para el arquitecto, la habitabilidad es su responsabilidad ética con el bienestar del ser humano y del medio ambiente.

Aquellos que le dan atmosfera, tectonica y habitabilidad al espacio humano.Dicen por ahi que ya no son tiempos de escribir tratados; quizas estan equivocados. Aqui tienen, entre sus manos, un nuevo tratado del hacer, de la fabrica de la Arquitectura.Camilo Isaak

Livro baseado em pesquisas realizadas no ano de 2000, a partir de um projeto de concluso do curso de Engenharia Civil (UEPG-PR). O estudo sobre o sistema construtivo e a deciso na utilizaço do mesmo proposto, teve como base alem das pesquisas diretas em campo, ja que na epoca (2000) essa tecnologia iniciava seu processo de inserço no mercado, pesquisas bibliograficas, para embasarem a deciso. O sistema construtivo DryWall foi apresentado como soluço para execuço de um Edificio com funço comercial no ramo de hotelaria na cidade de Ponta Grossa Parana, edificio esse tido como "CASE" no ento trabalho. A partir desse momento, a produço serviu de instrumento de referencia para diversos profissionais da regio citada, auxiliando na execuço de obras com essa tecnologia ate ento desconhecida. Ficou provado que a economia seria para a obra proposta de 23,23% do total do custo direto de fundaçes, ainda economizando 20% do cronograma previsto. Posteriormente, devido ao grande sucesso do trabalho entre os profissionais de engenharia, foi produzido um primeiro modelo de manual construtivo, uma apostila simples, sendo que hoje aquela produço inicial transforma-se nessa nova ediço atualizada, agora em formato de livro, porem mesmo com as atualizaçes existentes desde aquele ano para a tecnologia apresentada, buscou-se manter os dados apresentados na epoca em que a primeira ediço foi escrita, isso por motivo de se manter o contexto historico e levar ate aqueles que esto experimentando o primeiro contato com os produtos Dry wall e PEX um pouco do sentimento comparativo entre epocas e evoluço dos materiais, assim como a maior valorizaço da importancia da atualizaço executiva de obras, buscando constantemente a inovaço e renovaço de conceitos. Ao final, pode-se verificar algumas planilhas comparativas, enfatizando o alivio de carga nas fundaçes, objetivo inicial do projeto daquele ano e um comparativo financeiro, com percentuais de economia gerados. As planilhas podem e devem ser atualizadas pelo leitor, com verificaçes de suas pesquisas de mercado, porem e observado ainda que as economias diretas em cargas e em valores continuam sendo o grande diferencial desse sistema construtivo.

Sir John Vanbrugh is celebrated today as one of Englands finest country house architects. His masterpieces include palatial private homes such as Castle Howard and Blenheim Palace, greatly admired by any enthusiast of English Baroque architecture. However, his work extended far beyond such projects, and included a remarkable variety of temples, belvederes, pyramids and many other features which he designed for the gardens and parks of the estates at which he worked.The originality of such work has shown that Vanbrugh played a crucial role in the development of the eighteenth-century English garden, and this unique and fascinating book uses the fruits of new research to assess just what contribution this great man made to our heritage.

Un ensayo donde la experiencia se muestra directa y sincera, a contracorriente y a partir de recuerdos. Se reflexiona sobre arquitectura, arte, cine y jardines desde la práctica y el sentido común, sin complejos. Una memoria de bolsillo para consultar en momentos de extrema necesidad.Confesiones de un vago constante que avanza retrocediendo, como los remeros. Progresa hacia el futuro, como apuntaba Jorge Oteiza, sin perder de vista lo que queda atras, lo permanente, lo que la marea dejo. Un texto asilvestrado que navega y transita, de forma lenta e insegura, hacia un ser "sin prejuicios".
