This richly illustrated book presents the exhibits and curatorial visions of the 2015 Shenzhen Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism (UABB), organized around the theme, Re-Living the City. It highlights the contributions of dozens of international architects, designers and artists, and offers 12 probing, original essays.The projects and essays of UABB 2015, Re-Living the City, criticize the status quo of architecture and urbanism, but they also resist the false dream of designing a perfect city from scratch. Instead, they portray the city as the incremental product of its inhabitants and designers, who provisionally make and remake its fabric through various means at their disposal.

Rethinking Chongqing: Mixed-Use and Super-Dense presents the work of a Edward P. Bass Studio at the Yale School of Architecture, co-taught by real estate developer Vincent Lo, founder and chairman of Shui-On Land, the Yale Bass Fellow, and Paul Katz, James von Klemperer, and Forth Bagley, managing principal, design principal, and senior associate, respectively, of the international architecture firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates. Chongqing, one of China's four directly-controlled municipalities, is a rapidly growing economic hub of western China with a rich urban history. As it seeks to expand its urbanized boundaries and redirect economic growth towards the high-tech manufacturing and service industries, it is also investing enormous resources in new transit infrastructure, parks, cultural facilities, and other public amenities. The site of the studio project is the soon to be redeveloped site of the central rail terminal, a critica

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.

Esta publicación recoge las refl exiones, y propuestas elaboradas en el marco del Máster Universitario en Arquitectura de la Universidad de Zaragoza durante el curso 2016-17. En continuidad con las aproximaciones de años anteriores, se han desarrollado una serie de exploraciones urbanisticas sobre los problemas y oportunidades de intervencion y regeneracion urbana en las llamadas periferiasinterioreso periferias tradicionales, es decir, las generadas durante el periodo de intenso crecimiento urbano de los años 1960 y 1970 que han experimentado sustanciales transformaciones en las ultimas decadas. En este caso, el equipo de estudiantes y profesores implicados en diversas asignaturas del Master ha focalizado las refl exiones y propuestas en el zaragozano barrio de San Jose.

Los diagnosticos socioeconomicos de estudios anteriores y, sobre todo, los que recogen las demandas vecinales en los Planes integrales del barrio, se han utilizado como punto de partida; pero tambien los diagnosticos especifi cos efectuados ...

Both a learning platform and a pedagogical experiment, Urban School Ruhr is built upon the foundational belief that experts and amateurs can,together, build a space of critical exchange and knowledge transfer. USR prioritises exchange and dialogue that is not necessarily attached tospecific outcomes, results or interventions in built reality, instead understanding conversation as the first step to co-producing cities.Explorations in Urban Practice, the first edition in the Urban School Ruhr Series, draws from and reflects upon USR s experiences to date whilstalso looking to the future of urban practice in contemporary cities. The book presents the reader with key current questions in the field: how canwe learn city making? How should we understand the political concept of commoning for this purpose? And how can we discuss intervention asa strategy for enacting urban change?

El diseño del suelo, que acostumbra a estudiarse desde una perspectiva meramente técnica y vinculada a los materiales y sus características, es un elemento clave en la construcción de la imagen de la ciudad, sea por repeticion y extension caso del panot, sea por individualizacion e intensidad como acontece con los pavimentos especiales o los artisticos.Este libro aborda el impacto del pavimento en el paisaje urbano, reflexiona sobre su evolucion en Barcelona y aporta novedades historiograficas relevantes, demostrando que esta fue la primera ciudad del mundo, fuera del ambito portugues, que utilizo la calçada portuguesa en sus calles. Finalmente, trata la problematica de la sostenibilidad medioambiental y el papel queen ella pueden tener las innovaciones tecnicas relacionadas con el diseño del pavimento. Una propuesta para descubrir Barcelona desde un punto de vista diferente: a ras de suelo.

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.
