A Sustainable Bodega/Hotel in Rioja presents the studio of the Yale Edward P. Bass Distinguished Visiting Architecture Fellowship taught by John Spence, entrepreneur and chairman of Karma Resorts worldwide with architect Andy Bow, a senior partner at Foster & Partners in London; environmental engineer Patrick Bellew, principal of Atelier Ten, London; and Timothy Newton of the Yale faculty.The studio proposed designs for a world-class winery and hotel complex in Rioja, Spain where wineries are both vernacular and exuberant in design. The students were challenged to address social, economic, and environmental sustainability in a holistic and integrated way. The project resulted in a range of strategies to sustainably harvest, engage local workforce, integrate landscape, and source materials responsibly. The project features attractions and symbiotic food production to facilitate tourist visits. Edited by Henry Chan and Nina Rappaport the book is designed by MGMT.

The New Localism provides a roadmap for change that starts in the communities where most people live and work.In their new book, The New Localism, urban experts Bruce Katz and Jeremy Nowak reveal where the real power to create change lies and how it can be used to address our most serious social, economic, and environmental challenges.Power is shifting in the world: downward from national governments and states to cities and metropolitan communities; horizontally from the public sector to networks of public, private and civic actors; and globally along circuits of capital, trade, and innovation.This new locus of powerthis new localismis emerging by necessity to solve the grand challenges characteristic of modern societies: economic competitiveness, social inclusion and opportunity; a renewed public life; the challenge of diversity; and the imperative of environmental sustainability. Where rising populism on the right and the left exploits the grievances of those left behind in the global economy, new localism has developed as a mechanism to address them head on.New localism is not a replacement for the vital roles federal governments play; it is the ideal complement to an effective federal government, and, currently, an urgently needed remedy for national dysfunction.In The New Localism, Katz and Nowak tell the stories of the cities that are on the vanguard of problem solving. Pittsburgh is catalyzing inclusive growth by inventing and deploying new industries and technologies. Indianapolis is governing its city and metropolis through a network of public, private and civic leaders. Copenhagen is using publicly owned assets like their waterfront to spur large scale redevelopment and finance infrastructure from land sales.Out of these stories emerge new norms of growth, governance, and finance and a path toward a more prosperous, sustainable, and inclusive society. Katz and Nowak imagine a world in which urban institutions finance the future through smart investments in innovation, infrastructure and children and urban intermediaries take solutions created in one city and adapt and tailor them to other cities with speed and precision.

Architecture and design currently play a minor role in the design and construction of industrial building types, especially waste-to-energy facilities.Trough comparing the well-established waste-to- energy industries in Sweden with less established engagements in the northeast of the United States, opportunities and lessons are revealed.

Third Coast Atlas: Prelude to a Plan describes the conditions for urbanization across the Great Lakes region

This book is a tribute to the first modern urban planner and his product: the Eixample, which is today the thriving and undisputed center of the Barcelona metropolitan area.The city of Barcelona as constructed over the last 150 years on the strength of Ildefons Cerdas 1859 Project for the Reform and Expansion bears living witness to the modernity of a way of thinking and making the city.An appreciaton of the values of the Eixample that have taken shape in the last century and a half affords illuminating insights into what it means to plan, design and build a city. The chapter structure is devoted to an orderly analysis in the first instance of the elements that articulate the construction of the Eixample the residential fabric, the grid, the street, the chamfered corner and the sewers and then of the city blocks and the various configurations associated with housing, industry, amenities and open spaces.

?La calle es una habitación por consenso. Una habitación comunitaria cuyas paredes aportan los que allí viven, entregadas a la ciudad para uso colectivo.? Estas palabras de Louis I. Kahn son quizás las que mejor expresan la intencion de este libro, el tercero de una trilogia formada por Casa collage y La habitacion en la que Xavier Monteys se propone reflexionar sobre nuestras formas de habitar el espacio.En esta nueva entrega, el autor nos regala una vision poliedrica, rica y compleja de la calle. Por ella desfilan espacios con nombre propio, situaciones, anomalias, recreaciones artisticas y un sinfin de miradas que nos llevan de los westerns a Le Corbusier, de los juegos infantiles a los escaparates, de la comida en la calle a la lluvia, los arboles, el jardin? y nos proporcionan un mosaico infinito de lecturas posibles, muchas veces intimamente ligadas al interior y a la casa. Un ensayo que no solo nos introduce en el espacio real, palpable, de la urbe en forma de via, sino que va mucho mas alla para revelarnos los entresijos de la calle como estado de animo y espacio mental.

El Área Central de Asturias es un espacio que presenta la complejidad propia de una composición metropolitana: 800.000 habitantes, las cinco mayores entidades urbanas de la región, la casi totalidad de la actividad industrial, los grandes puertos maritimos, el aeropuerto... Su organizacion polinuclear no ha evitado que, tras la construccion de la red de alta velocidad, haya habido un proceso de difusion urbana descontrolada que conlleva efectos indeseados por deficit de planificacion fisica, en particular para el ambito medioambiental. Por su parte, las ciudades, hasta el estallido de la crisis inmobiliaria, han estado sometidas a una presion edificatoria alejada, a su vez, de modelos de sostenibilidad. Estas ineficiencias, añadidas a la paralizacion de la construccion, exigen actuaciones urgentes para la regeneracion urbana integrada, metodologia que precisa de un marco juridico propio y especifico.

The cities of the world stand at a crossroads. Amidst radical social, economic, and technological transformations, will the city become a driving force of creativity, diversity, and sustainability, or will it be a mechanism of inequality, despair, and environmental decay? At this critical moment, where do the stakes lie and what are the agents of change? From the time of its birth, the city has been held together by the commons.

Starting from the Radical research to contemporary design, the book collects Andrea Branzis work about the relationship city-design.Starting from the Andrea Branzis reflection on the relationship civility-design, from the Radicals research on mass-production civilization to the infinite territories, the book proposes new territories able to interpret and anticipate the new dynamics of society.In particular, if the first chapters review the historical/critical works of Andrea Branzi and of Radical Movement, the last opens a new parenthesis of research, right now never expressed: the issues ignored by Modernity, like life, death, destiny and the sacred: themes which underline the new drama and the fracture between tragedy and normality, between consumerism and death, between theology and technology, between the silence of reason and the voice of an irrational reality.

Posthuman,surveys the urban environments shaping the more-tahn human geographies of the early 21st century

Territories start off as nonphysical, often simple ideas, emerging in the physical and becoming a perpetual mixture of the two. Often formed to acquire resources, yet inherently a resource. Land is seized for economic gain, borders are traversed through changes to regulations, and new territories of control are born from land reclamation where previously none existed.

In light of the increasing disengagement between urban and rural areas, this book address the interdependency of cities with ecological and technological processes outside the purview of traditional urban planning. It compiles a huge amount of essays in regards to the most important topics that cities must address today, such as their connection with global data networks, ecological cycles of resources which supersede the traditional boundaries of urbanism. For this reason, it frames investigation of contemporary urbanism on nine imminent commons grouping the urban commons into resources and technologies lead us to the arcane classification of natural resources: air, water, fire, and earth, the four elements of ancient cosmologies; and five basic technological commons based on expanded human capacities: sensing, communicating, moving, making, and recycling.

Este libro estudia la ordenación urbanística y la política de vivienda en la Zaragoza de la Guerra Civil y el primer franquismo: dos decenios en los que la clase dirigente local acometió un programa de reforma y expansión urbana de magnitud pasmosa, íntimamente vinculado con el clima político y económico que constituyó su caldo de cultivo. Se analizan realizaciones como la apertura de la plaza del Pilar (1937), las ordenanzas generales de edificación (1939), el plan de reforma interior (1939) o el anteproyecto de ordenación general de Zaragoza (1943), instrumentos mediante los cuales las autoridades impusieron al tejido urbano mutaciones radicales para abortar revueltas sociales como las acaecidas durante la monarquía alfonsina y la República, y liberar la rentabilización del patrimonio inmobiliario de los escollos que habían hecho fracasar anteriores proyectos de gran alcance. Se establecieron así los fundamentos objetivos y subjetivos del desarrollo a largo plazo de la ciudad de Zaragoza.
