Kazakh Capitals and the Construction of Kazakh National Identity in the post-Soviet Period (1991-2011) Nariman Shelekpayev This thesis explores the urban landscapes of the two major cities in post-Soviet Kazakhstan: Astana and Almaty. Analysis of their urban architecture, organization of public spaces and toponymy provides information about the identity and the identification of the country in the twenty-first century. The main sources for this research are the texts produced by geographers, graphic representations (mainly photographs and postcards) and several textbooks on the "History of Kazakhstan". The primary research questions include how historical and political change (mainly the transition from Soviet to national in 1990s) influenced the urban landscape, the role of the urban landscape in construction of national (self-) identification, and what symbolizes "Kazakhness". From the temporal point of view, the study attempts a diachronic comparison of Soviet and post-Soviet Kazakhstan. From the spatial point of view, the analysis of the urban landscape in two cities located in different parts of the country with different history and geography helps to see different, heterogeneous territories which are part of one country. Astana is the capital of Kazakhstan, a city with the sharpest contrasts between...

A urbanização de Campinas ocorreu de forma muito dispersa e potencializada pelos eixos rodoviários, conformando várias áreas que podem ser consideradas como 'mutações urbanas'. 'Mutação urbana' é um conceito que auxilia o entendimento das dinâmicas de formação da cidade contemporânea que vem se construindo através de formas e paisagens urbanas que são bastante distintas das encontradas até o século XX, pois refletem a atual dinâmica de formação do território, com a instituição de novos espaços que contrastam com a lógica de configuração do seu entorno e dos tecidos urbanos tradicionais. Os eixos rodoviários são a espinha dorsal para o funcionamento das 'mutações urbanas' e dos shopping centers, seu elemento catalisador mais comum. O foco do estudo se concentra no eixo da rodovia Dom Pedro I, que ostenta em suas margens locais que podem ser consideradas mutações urbanas. O método adotado é o estudo de caso de caráter exploratório e descritivo e as principais ferramentas utilizadas foram as imagens do pacote 'Google Maps' e fotografias urbanas do autor. Os resultados apontam que, no caso de Campinas, a 'mutação urbana' é um fenômeno em desenvolvimento, com seus focos de crescimento centrados nos três shopping centers Iguatemi, Galleria e Parque Dom Pedro. Sua estrutura espacial é conformada por treze tipologias de enclaves fortificados e por quarenta e cinco padrões morfológicos e paisagísticos. O trabalho conclui que a urbanização de Campinas através do desenvolvimento de mutações urbanas está fundamentada em um conjunto de tipologias e de padrões de características genéricas e desprovidos de qualidades estéticas e funcionais, impondo uma forma e uma paisagem urbana totalmente desvinculadas de valores civis, coletivos e urbanos. Os tecidos urbanos construídos são sustentados por elementos que privilegiam e enfatizam o espaço privado em detrimento ao público, com muros, guaritas e aparatos de segurança. Aponta, também, que há apenas uma maneira de lidar com a proliferação da 'mutação urbana', uma forma, paisagem e estilo de vida com os quais discordamos: é, primeiramente, fazer uma leitura cuidadosa e detalhada do seu ambiente construído, evidenciando seus padrões e tipologias recorrentes e fundamentais desta urbanização para dar suporte a uma crítica convincente de que é preciso mudar, para, num segundo momento, investigar e propor alternativas para esse modelo / Abstract: The objective of this research paper is to investigate the 'urban mutation' that is developing in the city of Campinas/SP and its implication on the urban landscape. The urbanization of Campinas was very dispersed and potentialized by the highways, resulting in several areas that can be considered as 'urban mutations'. 'Urban mutation' is a concept that helps to understand the contemporary city formation dynamics which has been taking shape through forms and landscapes that are quite distinct from those found until the twentieth century. They reflect the current territory formation with the institution of new spaces that contrast with the logical configuration of its surrounding and the traditional urban tissues. The freeways are the backbone for 'urban mutation' operation and for shopping centers, its most common catalyst. The study focuses on the axis of Dom Pedro I highway which boasts on its borders sites that may be considered as 'urban mutation'. The method adopted is the exploratory and descriptive case study and the main tools used were pictures of the 'Google Maps' package and urban photographs of the author. In Campinas, the results show that the 'urban mutation' is a phenomenon that is in development and its growth focus is centered in three shopping centers: Iguatemi, Galleria and Parque Dom Pedro. Its spatial structure is made up of thirteen typologies of fortified enclaves and forty-five morphological and landscape patterns. The study concludes that the urbanization of Campinas through the development of 'urban mutations' is based on a set of typologies and patterns which generic attributes and devoid of aesthetic and functional qualities, imposing a form and a cityscape totally unrelated to civil, collective and urban values. The urban tissues built are supported by elements that privilege and emphasize private spaces in detriment of public spaces, with walls, guard cabins and security apparatuses. It also indicates that there is only one way to deal with the 'urban mutation' proliferation, in other words, to deal with a form, landscape and lifestyle with which we disagree: firstly, it is to make a careful and detailed investigation of its built environment to evidence its fundamental and recurring patterns and typologies to support a persuasive critique of the need of change and, after that, investigate and propose alternatives to this model / Mestrado / Arquitetura, Tecnologia e Cidade / Mestre em Arquitetura, Tecnologia e Cidade

The urban landscape is a diverse environment that is constantly evolving. Such change does not remove and replace all of the remnants of the city\'s past, however, and the remaining artifacts become key pieces of local identity as a result of their persistence. Even so, artifacts are also complex entities and their definition and value can be drastically different given the context in which they exist. Nonetheless, artifacts can be broadly understood as interactive elements in the urban landscape that become enmeshed in their surrounding community, and serve a vital role as a result. This enquiry examines that role of artifacts in the urban landscape and seeks to uncover how such a role can inform effective design practice into the future. / Master of Landscape Architecture

Storstaden är idag människans kanske mest naturliga miljö. Det är där de flesta av oss bor, lever och konsumerar en stor mängd mat.  I det här projektet har jag använt mig av mat som ett redskap i min designprocess och skapat en fiskodling mitt på Skeppsbron. Jag har undersökt hur en fiskmarknad i Gamla stan skulle kunna utnyttja de befintliga resurserna på platsen och ritat en miljö där människan lever i symbios med naturen. En flexibel arkitektur som är formad utefter landskapets unika struktur och som förändras parallellt med det växlande vattenrummet.  Stockholms karaktäristiska vatten kopplar ihop staden med Östersjön i öst och långt i landet i väst. För att utnyttja platsens fulla potential har marknaden ett antal flyttbara element som kan transporteras med båt mellan olika kajplatser. Dessa element består av olika typer av fiskodlingspooler som renas med hjälp av akvaponi (odling) och byggnadens biogasanläggning. Detta genererar i sin tur energi som värmer upp poolerna och förser byggnaden med elektricitet.  Tillsammans utgör dessa element ett unikt landskap där människan kommer i kontakt med vattnet, djurlivet och naturligtvis maten. / Investigating the the Urban Fishfarm Today, the city might be our most natural environment. This is where most of us live and consume a large amount of food. In this project, I have used food as a designtool and created a fish farm in the middle of Stockholm City. I have examined how a fish market in the old town could use the existing resources on site and designed an environment where people could live in symbiosis with nature. A flexible architecture that could grow och change in time. Stockholm water connects the city with the Baltic Sea in the east, and far into the country in the west. In order to utilize the site's full potential, the market has a number of movable elements that can be transported by sea between different quays. These elements consist of a number of fish farming pools which are purified by akvaponi (farming).

Museum is firstly a public building in the city. Although, most of the work of collection, conservation and restauration is being done behind a closed door, with the museum's significance and location it has a great importance by co-creating the city environment. Reviving of our defined project area is potentially a big step for reviving the whole suburb. Technical museum of Brno has relatively good position nearby the Technology park, but currently not using much of the potential. This project adsresses these posibilities and propose a urban solution for enrichment of the museum to become a full-blown place IN THE CITY, a place for meeting, passing through and stopping by.
