Fusing space and place : a mixed use art facility for T.U.T post graduate students

Meyer, Timothy 01 December 2011 (has links)
This dissertation will explore ways in which abandoned space, and spaces between buildings, can be reconnected with their surroundings to enrich and contribute to the everyday experience of the user. The intervention takes place along the edges of the Pretoria CBD, adjacent to an abandoned canalized urban river (Walkerspruit). The site hosts elements of historic importance and memory which have become fragmented from the everyday experience of the user in the city. The hypothesis investigates the understanding of space and place - whether the above mentioned spaces can be fused together as a series of experiences to enhance the character of the site and its important historic elements. The proposed development is made up of layered, mixed use activities catered toward a facility for T.U.T post graduate art students and other visiting artists. The building should create an opportunity for the public to engage with the process of making art and at the same time give students the opportunity to exhibit their work whilst engaging with their community.

The Applicability of Western Urban Theories to African Cities: A Case Study of Lagos, Nigeria

Sijuwade, Philip Oyebowale 12 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to determine the applicability of western urban theories to African cities, especially to Lagos, Nigeria. The study surveys urban land use patterns, migration and migrants' adjustment in cities, social relationships in cities, and urban stratification. The investigation's thesis is that western urban theories in these four areas of urban ecology may not be entirely applicable to the study of African cities. Theories of land use patterns are discussed from the classical and the cultural, or voluntaristic, viewpoints; and the other three areas are examined from the perspective of broad western urban theories.

[en] CITY POETICS AND THE CONCEPT OF PUBLIC SPACE / [pt] POÉTICAS DA CIDADE E O CONCEITO DE ESPAÇO PÚBLICO

PATRICIA TINOCO 25 May 2018 (has links)
[pt] Quando Rem Koolhaas, um dos arquitetos mais paradigmáticos da atualidade, se pergunta O que aconteceu com o urbanismo?, coloca-se em evidência uma latente crise no domínio em questão. Crise de identidade? Crise formal? Crise institucional? Operando no campo de estudo e investigação sobre o meio urbano e a relação da disciplina da arquitetura com a produção de pensamentos, de espaços e políticas nas cidades, essa pesquisa mobiliza conceitos-chaves, palavras de força para articular a reflexão sobre a condição atual da arquitetura e alguns significados adotados em seus discursos. Segue-se uma linha de pensamento crítico em relação ao urbanismo funcionalista – à sua mentalidade cientificista, prognóstica, de certa moral produtivista –, e seus desdobramentos na atualidade, em contextos urbanos marcados pela hegemonia de um sistema capitalista avançado. Identifica-se tal crítica retrospectivamente com ideias veiculadas pela teoria situacionista, da década de 1960, associando-a também com conflitos apontados nos discursos de Henri Lefebvre sobre políticas do espaço – sobretudo no que toca contrapontos entre agentes presentes na prática espacial, trazendo debates entre os conceitos de espaço de representação, espaço público e o espaço cotidiano. Tais categorias, citadas acima, permeiam discursos interdisciplinares, possibilitando, a partir de investigações de casos que se entrelaçam, discussões sobre aspectos em que o campo da arquitetura poderia ser enriquecido por abordagens de usos e fenômenos urbanos - ou apropriações - que voltam a atenção para as relações sociais, comportamentais, corporais e temporais do espaço, em detrimento das fortes correntes de ordenamento funcionalista e produtivista. Coloca-se em questão o papel atribuído do arquiteto como definidor de usos e significados de espaços abordando situações que colocam em cheque o conceito tradicional de projeto como instrumento de síntese, antecipação e controle. / [en] When Rem Koolhaas, one of the most paradigmatically architects of nowadays, questions himself Whatever happened to urbanism?, one puts in evidence a latent crises in actual domain. Identity crises? Formal crises? Institutional crises? Operating in the studies and investigations field of urban environment and the relationship between the architectural discipline with the production of thoughts, spaces and policies in the cities, this research mobilizes key-concepts, guidelines to articulate the reflection about the current condition of architecture and some of the meanings adopted in its discourse. Following a critic line of thoughts towards functionalist urbanism – towards its scientific, prognostic mentality, with a certain productivist moral – and its deployments in actuality, in urban contexts marked by the hegemony of advanced capitalist system. One may identify this critic retrospectively with the ideas addressed by the situationist theory, in the 1960 decade, also associating it with conflicts pointed out by Henri Lefebvre s discourse about space politics – especially when it comes to the oppositions between agents present in the space practices, bringing up debates about the spaces of representation, public spaces and the everyday space. Those categories, listed above, permeate interdisciplinary discourses, making possible, with a web of case studies, discussions about aspects in which the architectural field might be enriched by the approach of urban uses and phenomenon - or appropriations - that turn their attention to social relations, behavior, corporeal or temporal relations within space, instead of favoring prevailing conducts of functional and productivist planning. One questions the assigned role of the architect as the uses and meanings of space definer, by approaching situations that quarrel the traditional concept of project as an instrument of synthesis, anticipation and control.

In this way, we intend to fill the existing gap in the design practice of the field of Architecture and Urbanism, which does not incorporate the citizen in the whole process and which proposes a fragmented analysis of public life. From a bibliographical research, the first part of the study is dedicated to the conceptual body that guided the development of the research, the second contains the sample of the procedures of analysis of public spaces traveled by the analogy of the itinerary, that is, showing how to evaluate and one minimum series of paths, or dimensions, by which the evaluation of public life can be carried out. From this theoretical-methodological referential arised the Public Life Devices that allow the evaluation of public spaces with citizen participation from phases and categories that, in turn, gathering criteria and registration techniques. Against the study can be concluded first that the theories on public life and public space are, , as a rule, contrasting with the Brazilian reality, but this could be changed through citizen participation. In a second moment, it is verified that every project implies in unforeseeable deviations, so, the specialists can’t order and control the experience in a space. But on the other hand this does not constitute negatively and yes portrays the public life itself. It is also considered that the public life notion is not just constituted in using the public space besides the circulation, but in claim the character political, social, affectionate and cognitive in the relationship people/citizen/subject-lived space/ existence. Finally, it is understood that citizen participation is necessary to attend to the aspirations of the population, especially those of the most excluded, besides implying in the full exercise of democracy. / Esta dissertação tem como objetivo definir as variáveis para a avaliação da vida pública nos espaços públicos brasileiros que possa, futuramente, ser aplicada com participação cidadã resultando em diretrizes de atuação. Dessa forma, pretende-se preencher a lacuna existente na prática projetual do campo da Arquitetura e Urbanismo que não incorpora o cidadão em todo o processo e que propõe uma análise fragmentada da vida pública. A partir de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, a primeira parte do estudo é dedicada ao corpo conceitual que guiou o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, a segunda contém a amostra dos procedimentos de análise de espaços públicos percorridos pela analogia do itinerário, ou seja, mostrando como avaliar e uma série mínima de caminhos, ou dimensões, pelos quais se pode realizar a avaliação da vida pública. Desse referencial teórico-metodológico surgiram os Dispositivos de vida pública que permitem a avaliação dos espaços públicos com participação cidadã a partir de fases e categorias que agregam, por sua vez, critérios e técnicas de registro. Diante do estudo pode-se concluir, primeiramente, que as teorias sobre vida pública e espaço público são, via de regra, contrastantes com a realidade brasileira, mas que isso poderia ser mudado por meio da participação cidadã. Num segundo momento, constata-se que todo projeto implica em desvios imprevisíveis, logo, os especialistas não conseguem ordenar e controlar a vivência em um espaço. Mas que por outro lado isso não se constitui negativamente e sim retrata a própria vida pública. Também se considera que a noção de vida pública não se constitui apenas em usar o espaço público além da circulação, mas de reivindicar o caráter político, social, afetivo e cognitivo na relação pessoas/cidadão/sujeito-espaço vivido/vivência. Por fim, entende-se que a participação cidadã se faz necessária para atender os anseios da população, especialmente os das mais excluídas, além de implicar em exercício pleno de democracia.
