A sense of place and belonging : creating good neighbourhoods through productive social infrastructureMahlangu, Siyabonga Lunga January 2016 (has links)
The township in the South African context is a unique consequence
of Apartheid spatial planning. Envisaged as settlements for black labourers
on the outskirts of the city, they have become home to many
South Africans. Mamelodi was established as an effectively designed
township for labourers working in Pretoria, and grew at an exponential
rate, leading to a sizeable demand for housing. A mass provision
of housing was implemented then and, post 1994 to meet this
demand. The same strategy of housing is still continuing through the
Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP). This provision of
housing has not been complimented by a provision of public amenities
and has led to monotonous neighbourhoods filled with housing
and no public space.
The ever growing community of Lusaka, in the east of Mamelodi, is
a community with a landscape of housing without public amenities
and public spaces. This neighbourhood has large amounts of people
moving in and out, with some people seeing it as a place of permanence
and some as a temporary detour. This influx of people and
the duality of temporality and permanence creates a very dynamic
society, one that the current architecture cannot respond to. The new
architecture has to address the above mentioned issues, providing
the community with access to public amenities and public spaces
that add value to their environment. The solutions derived can be
discussed and used to address similar problems plaguing townships
around South Africa. / Informele nedersettings in die Suid-Afrikaanse konteks is 'n unieke
gevolg van Apartheid se ruimtelike beplanning. Oorspronklik in die
vooruitsig gestel as nedersettings vir swart arbeiders het hulle 'n
tuiste vir baie Suid-Afrikaners geword. Mamelodi was gestig as 'n
effektief ontwerpde informele nedersetting vir arbeiders wat werk
in Pretoria en het teen 'n eksponensi?le koers gegroei wat gelei
het tot 'n groot aanvraag vir behuising. 'n Massa voorsiening van
behuising was toe en n? 1994 ge?mplementeer om hierdie aanvraag
te voorsien. Dieselfde strategie van behuising word steeds voortgesit
deur die Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP). Hierdie
behuisingsvoorsiening was nog nie aangevul deur 'n voorsiening
van openbare geriewe nie en het gelei tot eentonige woonbuurte wat
gevul is met behuising en geen openbare ruimte.
Die steeds groeiende gemeenskap van Lusaka, in die ooste van
Mamelodi, is 'n gemeenskap met 'n landskap van behuising sonder
openbare geriewe en openbare ruimtes. Hierdie woonbuurt het groot
getalle mense wat in en uit beweeg, met sommige mense wat dit sien
as 'n plek van blywendheid en ander as 'n tydelike ompad. Hierdie
instroming van mense en die dualiteit van tydelikheid en blywendheid
skep 'n baie dinamiese samelewing, een wat die huidiglike
argitektuur nie op kan reageer nie. Die nuwe argitektuur moet die
bogenoemde kwessies aanspreek om die gemeenskap toegang te
bied tot openbare geriewe en openbare ruimtes wat waarde toevoeg
tot hulle omgewing . Deur dit te doen kan die oplossings wat afgelei
is bespreek en gebruik word om soortgelyke kwessies aan te spreek
wat informele nedersettings regoor Suid-Afrika teister.

Liminal public infrastructure : a typology of public space for everyday performancesAlkayyali, Ahmed 25 November 2011 (has links)
Every day the city plays out its spectacle unnoticed. This quotidian context is one which is full of complexity, spontaneity and possibility. It is here that architecture can engage with both the city and its user, space and experience; challenging conventional architectural typologies. It is within public space, that architecture can both enhance and celebrate the everyday. This project investigates all of these aspects within the city of Pretoria and more specifically along Van der Walt Street, focusing on the urban cavity at Munitoria. Surveillance is conceptually used to experience this spectacle, on multiple levels of enterpretation, where the architecture is reduced to support both the concept of surveillance and its experience.

HANNAH ARENDT AND POLITICAL MODERNITY: THE CONCEPT OF THE PUBLIC SPACEAntonini, David Robert 01 May 2018 (has links)
This dissertation takes as its founding premise that modern subjects interpret and experience the political as somehow alienating or other—as a form of experience that is not fundamental but is only significant as a means to some further end. It is common in late modern societies to think of the political as subservient to economic and social ends, and to make it so. In light of this, my dissertation addresses two major problems: the erosion of distinctly political experience in modernity and the attempt to show how such experience can be recovered. By erosion I mean both the deterioration of the “public space,” a political concept that comes from Hannah Arendt, and the general impoverishment of political discourse. I argue, with Arendt, that political experience is recoverable through articulating a concept of the public space in which the need of creating and maintaining it for the sake of political experience as an experience in which freedom can arise. The dissertation is therefore an interpretation and extension of Arendt’s political thought, with a major objective being to seek a path forward in combating the alienation and instrumentality that, I argue, characterizes contemporary citizens’ experience of the political.

Resurrection of St. Clara : A New Public Space in St. Clara ChurchyardHoghooghi Rad, Soroosh January 2011 (has links)
This project aims to create a new, pleasant and lively public space in St. Clara churchyard in the heart of Stockholm. It seems despite of crucial location and unique atmosphere that the church has, the churchyard is not properly used. Therefore, through a consensus approach, public opinions about the project were obtained. According to these opinions and by the help of theoretical resources, new interventions were proposed. Despite of high percentage of negative opinions against the project before beginning of the project, high percentage of responders showed their satisfaction about the project at the end.

Revitalizing public and social life : Älvsjö StockholmJowhari Teimouri, Sajjad January 2012 (has links)
“An ordinary day on an ordinary street. Pedestrians pass on the sidewalks, children play near front doors, people sit on benches and steps, the postman makes his rounds with the mail, two passersby greet on the sidewalk, two mechanics repair a car, groups engage in conversation.”….. (Life Between Buildings, Jan Gehl) This mix of outdoor activities in public space is the main concern of design the better condition for daily life in the Älvsjö neighborhood (the area around the Stockholm international fairs center). Enhancing the quality of life and raising the tendency for living in this area, is one of the issues that this thesis is working with. Effort of this thesis is enhancing the quality of life in a neighborhood that has lots of good potentials, for ordinary life, and raising the children.

PRAHO! / PRAHO! projectČermáková, Annamarie January 2022 (has links)
Can an interaction between the inhabitants of a city in a public space lead to a dialogue causing an artistic expression? And is there really a need to define certain places for the arts when we have common spaces and online platform that can fulfill the same function? The goal of this thesis is to give an insight into an artistic project I have been implementing into public space of Prague since Autumn 2021 which is based on the concept of present miscommunication of the arts and digs deep into the possibilities of starting a dialogue through the streets of the city. By using the city as a certain intermediator, the project aims to outline the potential of the place, to display the city as a kind of mosaic of intersecting lives taking place so close together, and to show different perspectives on the very same city. The aim of the project is to point out a kind of anonymous intimacy, which we all experience in the hustle and bustle of the metropolis on a daily basis and to investigate the potential of arts in public space leading to dialog.

Acuario y centro de investigación marina / Aquarium and Marine Research CenterSilva Zarate, Piero Paolo 10 November 2019 (has links)
El Acuario y Centro de Investigación Marina es un proyecto innovador cuyo propósito es mostrar y enseñar sobre la vida marina peruana e internacional. Una intervención como esta es única y culturalmente necesaria ya que nuestro país no cuenta con la infraestructura adecuada para exhibir nuestra fauna marina. Además, educa y promueve la idea del cuidado de nuestros mares. Por este motivo cuenta con varios espacios educativos e interactivos para toda edad.
Este proyecto interviene en la Costa Verde, en un terreno desolado con mucha promesa ya que situado aquí seria el catalizador de proyectos urbanos públicos. El diseño del acuario no toma jerarquía sobre el terreno o su contexto, más bien aporta espacios públicos para todo usuario. El acuario está diseñado para ser visiblemente impactante y didáctico para el visitante, rodeándote de las especies marinas en el túnel transparente o visitado las piscinas de agua salada que viene directamente del mar.
En conclusión, este proyecto tiene la función de enriquecer culturalmente a todos aquellos que lo visiten, mientras trata de revivir y equipar un espacio olvidado de las playas de la Costa Verde. / The Aquarium and Marine Research Center is an innovative project whose purpose is to show and teach about Peruvian and international marine life. An architectural intervention like this is unique and culturally necessary because our country doesn’t count with an adequate infrastructure to exhibit our marine life. Also, it teaches and promotes the idea of taking care our oceans, rivers, etc. Because of this the aquarium has lots of educational and interactive areas for all ages.
This project is located at Costa Verde, in an abandoned terrain with a lot of promise because it could be the catalyst of a public urban project. The aquarium design doesn’t take hierarchy over the terrain or its context, it provides public spaces for all users. Its designed to be visually impactful and didactic for the visitor, surrounding you in marine species in the transparent tunnel or by visiting the sea water pools that uses ocean water coming directly from the ocean.
In conclusion, the project has the roll of culturally enriching everyone that visits it, while it tries to revive and equip a forgotten space in the Costa Verde’s beaches. / Tesis
