A metodologia utilizada, fundamentada em conceitos e teorias, consistiu em pesquisa quantitativa, a partir da análise da dinâmica de implantação de empreendimentos ao longo desta avenida, tendo por base o levantamento de dados constantes nos alvarás de construção emitidos pela Prefeitura Municipal de Salvador e em dados censitários do IBGE (2010), que se traduziram em mapas temáticos, tabelas e gráficos. As informações obtidas foram posteriormente cruzadas com fotos aéreas, e confrontadas por pesquisa de campo na área de estudo. A hipótese que se buscou comprovar foi que este território vem se caracterizando e conformando como um eixo de expansão urbana da cidade de Salvador, o qual, concebido inicialmente como elo de ligação entre centralidades metropolitanas, passou a desempenhar o papel de eixo de conexão entre empreendimentos aí implantados. Recentemente vem sendo requalificado com vistas à retomar este papel no novo sistema viário metropolitano que se configura no cenário atual. De forma breve, foram reconstruídas as transformações espaciais ocorridas na cidade como um todo e nesta localidade de forma mais específica, remontando à implantação da avenida na década de 1970 e as repercussões sobre o território contextualizadas historicamente em períodos definidos por marcos histórico-urbanos na trajetória política de Salvador. Como resultado, ratificou-se a hipótese levantada, comprovando-se a ação dos agentes sociais nesse vetor urbanizado na intenção da produção de novos espaços urbanos. Com o presente trabalho busca-se, pois enriquecer e despertar o interesse pela produção de novos estudos e/ou intervenções sobre esta área da cidade, até então pouco investigada no âmbito acadêmico. / This thesis aims to analyze the expansion of the city of Salvador / BA and the modeling agents of urban space, at the vector axis of Avenida Paralela (Salvador/BA), as is known the Avenida Luis Viana Filho, between 1968 and 2013. The methodology consisted of quantitative research, based on concepts and theories from the analysis of the dynamics of implementation of projects along this avenue, based on the survey data contained in building permits issued by the city administration of Salvador and census data of IBGE (2010), which were translated into thematic maps, tables and graphs. The information obtained was subsequently crossed with aerial photos, and confronted by field research in the study area. The hypothesis that sought to prove was that this territory has been characterized as an expansion axis of Salvador and, as it was conceived at the very beginning, as a link between Salvador and other cities of the metropolitan region. Subsequently acting as a point of connection between the ventures deployed there, it has been remodeled to get back to it’s original function. In brief, spatial transformations that occurred in the city were rebuilt as a whole, and in this location more specifically, dating back to the construction of this avenue in the 1970s and the repercussions on the territory historically contextualized. As a result, the hypothesis raised was confirmed by the action of social agents in the urbanized vector intending the production of new urban spaces. With this present work, one looks foward to enrich and awaken interest in the production of new studies and/or interventions in this area of town, though little investigation was found about it in the academic area.

It starts with the analysis of the political discourse disseminated by Pedro Ludovico Teixeira, in favor of moving the capital to a place better adjusted to his political interests, after the triumph of the Brazilian Revolution of 1930. Therefore, he builds powerful social representations, based on the images of the old and the new capital, in order to oppose those against this change and consolidate his government. In addition to the speech and propaganda, Ludovico uses, as a statement element, the urban plan designed by Attilio Corrêa Lima, creating a modern intentional monument to be immortalized, translated by the monumental Goiás Avenue. Then, the city experiences a vertiginous growth in its territory and population, mainly after the 1950s, resulting in the disfigurement of its pioneering core. The spatial transformations verified in Goiás Avenue are representative of this scenario, such as its verticalization process and the changes in its layout to meet the demands from the public transportation. From these losses, consequences of the progressive mentality that is rooted in the local culture, arise the first initiatives to preserve the material evidences of the beginning Goiânia, culminating with its federal preservation in 2003. From this institutionalization as a national heritage, it is focused the appropriation by the city inhabitants, through the research of the urban imaginary created since the pioneer’s city until the present day, highlighting striking points in this trajectory. For that, it is used literature in prose and verse to reach the local collective memory, focusing on the capital early years and on the current city - violent, disjointed and that is forgetting its history day by day. / Esse trabalho investiga as permanências urbanas verificadas no núcleo inicial de Goiânia, a partir da Avenida Goiás, seu mais simbólico e expressivo trecho. Parte-se da análise do discurso político difundido por Pedro Ludovico Teixeira, em defesa da transferência da capital para um local mais ajustado aos seus interesses políticos, após o triunfo da Revolução de 1930. Para isso, ele constrói poderosas representações sociais, fundamentadas nas imagens da velha e da nova capital, visando combater os antimudancistas e consolidar seu governo. Além do discurso e da propaganda, Ludovico utiliza o próprio plano urbano projetado por Attilio Corrêa Lima como elemento de afirmação, criando um monumento intencional moderno a ser eternizado, traduzido através da monumental Avenida Goiás. A partir de então, a cidade vivencia um crescimento territorial e populacional vertiginoso, sobretudo, após a década de 1950, resultando na descaracterização de seu núcleo pioneiro. As transformações espaciais verificadas na Avenida Goiás são representativas desse cenário, a exemplo de seu processo de verticalização e das modificações em seu traçado para atender às demandas do transporte coletivo. Sentidas as perdas, em consequência da mentalidade progressista que se arraiga na cultura local, surgem as primeiras iniciativas para preservação dos testemunhos materiais da Goiânia dos primórdios, que culminam com o tombamento federal em 2003. A partir de sua institucionalização como patrimônio histórico, volta-se o olhar para sua apropriação por parte dos habitantes locais, através da investigação do imaginário urbano formado desde a cidade dos pioneiros até a atualidade, destacando-se pontos marcantes nessa trajetória. Utiliza-se, para tanto, a literatura em prosa e verso para atingir a memória coletiva local, com foco nos primeiros anos da capital e na cidade atual, violenta, desarticulada e que vem se esquecendo de sua história a cada dia.

83	"The struggle of memory against forgetting" contemporary fictions and rewriting of histories Patchay, Sheenadevi January 2008 (has links) This thesis argues that a prominent concern among contemporary writers of fiction is the recuperation of lost or occluded histories. Increasingly, contemporary writers, especially postcolonial writers, are using the medium of fiction to explore those areas of political and cultural history that have been written over or unwritten by the dominant narrative of “official” History. The act of excavating these past histories is simultaneously both traumatic and liberating – which is not to suggest that liberation itself is without pain and trauma. The retelling of traumatic pasts can lead, as is portrayed in The God of Small Things (1997), to further trauma and pain. Postcolonial writers (and much of the world today can be construed as postcolonial in one way or another) are seeking to bring to the fore stories of the past which break down the rigid binaries upon which colonialism built its various empires, literal and ideological. Such writing has in a sense been enabled by the collapse, in postcolonial and postmodernist discourse, of the Grand Narrative of History, and its fragmentation into a plurality of competing discourses and histories. The associated collapse of the boundary between history and fiction is recognized in the useful generic marker “historiographic metafiction,” coined by Linda Hutcheon. The texts examined in this study are all variants of this emerging contemporary genre. What they also have in common is a concern with the consequences of exile or diaspora. This study thus explores some of the representations of how the exilic experience impinges on the development of identity in the postcolonial world. The identities of “displaced” people must undergo constant change in order to adjust to the new spaces into which they move, both literal and metaphorical, and yet critical to this adjustment is the cultural continuity provided by psychologically satisfying stories about the past. The study shows that what the chosen texts share at bottom is their mutual need to retell the lost pasts of their characters, the trauma that such retelling evokes and the new histories to which they give birth. These texts generate new histories which subvert, enrich, and pre-empt formal closure for the narratives of history which determine the identities of nations. Morrison, Toni.

84	Citizen participation: does level of participation really make a difference?: an empirical study of participatory design utilized in a Virginia neighborhood Gilboy, Elizabeth January 1989 (has links) The literature on participatory design has often communicated that participation in the design process is beneficial. If participation is good, then is more necessarily better? The purpose of this study is to determine whether participants’ satisfaction in the participatory design process and the resultant design is dependent on their level of participation in that process. Two different groups of citizens from the Hamilton-Kerns neighborhood in S.W. Roanoke participated in the design of their neighborhood park. One group was involved in a traditional design process at a low level of participation; the other in a process at a higher level of participation. At the culmination of all workshops, participants were questioned about their satisfaction in the design process and the resultant design, The results suggest that the level of satisfaction was not dependent on level of participation. Rather, the determining factor for level of satisfaction was whether or not the individual had participated in the design process. / Master of Landscape Architecture LD5655.V855 1989.G542
85	Pouvoir d'attraction d'une artère commerciale : le cas de l'avenue Cartier à Québec Veillette, Marie-Pier 24 April 2018 (has links) À Québec, les dernières décennies ont été marquées par la dispersion des commerces et des services dans les secteurs de la ville qui bénéficient d'une accessibilité autoroutière accrue. Ces changements ont conduit à une diminution de l'achalandage des rues commerciales situées dans les quartiers centraux. S'attachant au sort de ces anciennes rues commerciales, notre étude s'intéresse aux éléments qui, du point de vue de ses usagers, influencent le pouvoir attractif de l'une d'entre elles : l'avenue Cartier. Au préalable, nous examinons la manière dont les usagers conçoivent mentalement l'extension spatiale du vocable avenue Cartier. Pour ce faire, nous utilisons la technique des groupes nominaux (TGN), un questionnaire et la cartographie participative comme méthodes de collecte de données. Nos résultats montrent que l'avenue Cartier, telle que les répondants se la conçoivent mentalement, dépasse largement ses limites physiques. Par ailleurs, l'offre commerciale et de services, l'offre de restauration et d'alimentation, la dimension sociale, l'atmosphère, la situation géographique, les déplacements des individus, les motivations personnelles sont les composantes qui, en ordre décroissant, influencent la fréquentation de l'avenue Cartier.

86	Space within : Frederick Kiesler and the architecture of an idea / Frederick Kiesler and the architecture of an idea McGuire, Laura 05 August 2015 (has links) From 1922-1942, the Austrian-American architect and designer Frederick Jacob Kiesler (1890-1965) designed architecture based on the idea that it must complement the physiological and psychological processes of the human body. In order to reconcile the technological changes wrought by industrialized production with the need for structures that promoted human health, he developed an inspired model for interactive design. His formative experiences in Europe working with De Stijl and the G-Group, along with his exposure to Central European examples of architecture, art, and science set the agenda for his later works. Yet he never stopped experimenting with new concepts that would bolster his essential philosophy of body-generated space. After he immigrated to the United States in 1926, Kiesler’s pursued his ideas about physiological and psychological architecture within a new cultural milieu and a network of encouraging personal connections. He forged relationships with a sympathetic community of émigré industrial designers and architects who promoted his efforts to integrate modern technology with new design idioms. During his first fifteen years in New York City, Kiesler looked to contemporary science as a way to advance a model of flexible architectural design. He also worked at the cutting edge of industrial design research and was an early protagonist of human factors engineering methods. His body-centered methodology stood in opposition to aesthetic and reductive approaches toward modernism and functionalism. Instead of designing according to a priori determinations of what was functional and what was not, Kiesler’s functionalism was based on an iterative design practice that would reveal progressively more useful and universally applicable forms. / text Frederick Kiesler Endless House Industrial design Emigre architect New York architecture Human-centered design Laboratory for design correlation Film Guild Cinema Nucleus House Saks Fifth Avenue Space house Modernage Show window 1930s architecture Ergonomics Mergentime R.U.R Leger ind Träger De Stijl Hans Richter Space stage

88	The Effect of Selected Coagulants on Chloride-to-Sulfate Mass Ratio for Lead Control and on Organics Removal in Two Source Waters El Henawy, Walid January 2009 (has links) Lead is a known toxin, with the ability to accumulate in the human body from as early as fetal development. Lead exposure is known to cause a myriad of health effects which are more prominent among children. Health effects upon exposure can range from renal and heart disease or potentially cancer in adults to neurotoxicity in children. The continued presence of old lead service lines and plumbing in distribution systems as well as lead-containing solders and brass fixtures in homes may contribute lead to drinking water. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of a predictor known as the chloride-to-sulfate mass ratio (CSMR) in controlling lead release. A ratio above 0.5 – 0.6 theoretically increases the aggressiveness of lead leaching in galvanic settings, while a lower ratio controls lead corrosion. A switch in coagulant type could significantly alter the ratio. However, a coagulant switch could also trigger changes in finished water turbidity and organics, including disinfection by-product (DBP) precursors, as well as impact sludge production. Anecdotal evidence from an Ontario water treatment utility suggested the potential applicability of a newly formulated polymer, cationic activated silica (CAS), in improving DBP precursor removal when used in concurrence with a primary coagulant. No previous scientific research had been dedicated to testing of the polymer. The present research had three primary objectives: The first was to investigate the effect of conventional coagulation with six different coagulants on the chloride-to-sulfate mass ratio as it pertains to lead corrosion in two Ontario source waters of differing quality. Additionally, the effect of coagulant choice on pH, turbidity, and organics removal was investigated. The second objective was aimed at testing potential reductions in CSMR and organics that could be brought about by the use of two polymers, cationic and anionic activated silica (CAS and AAS, respectively), as flocculant aids. Finally, the performance of a high-rate sand-ballasted clarification process was simulated at bench-scale to gauge its performance in comparison with conventional coagulation simulation techniques. The first series of jar-tests investigated the effectiveness of CAS as a primary coagulant on Lake Ontario water. In comparison with the conventional coagulants aluminum sulfate and polyaluminum chloride, CAS did not offer any apparent advantage with respect to turbidity and organics removal. Testing of CAS and AAS as flocculant aids was also conducted. Results from a full factorial experiment focused on CAS testing on Lake Ontario water showed that coagulant dose is the most significant contributor to CSMR, turbidity, DOC removal, and THM control. Generally, improvements resulting from CAS addition were of small magnitude (<15%). Reductions in CSMR were attributed to the presence of the sulfate-containing chemicals alum and sulfuric acid in the CAS formulation. Testing of sulfuric acid-activated AAS on Grand River water showed that pairing of AAS with polyaluminum chloride provides better results than with alum with respect to DOC removal (39% and 27% respectively at 60 mg/L coagulant dose). Highest turbidity removals (>90%) with both coagulants were achieved at the tested coagulant and AAS doses of 10 mg/L and 4 mg/L respectively. CSMR reductions in the presence of AAS were also attributable to sulfate contribution from sulfuric acid. Bench-scale simulation of a high-rate sand-ballasted clarification process on Grand River water showed comparable removal efficiencies for turbidity (80 – 90% at 10 mg/L), and DOC (30 – 40% at 50 mg/L). Finally, six different coagulants were tested on the two source waters for potential applicability in CSMR adjustment in the context of lead corrosion. The two chloride-containing coagulants polyaluminum chloride and aluminum chlorohydrate increased CSMR in proportion to the coagulant dose added, as would be expected. Average chloride contribution per 10 mg/L coagulant dose was 2.7 mg/L and 2.0 mg/L for polyaluminum chloride and aluminum chlorohydrate, respectively. Sulfate-contributing coagulants aluminum sulfate, ferric sulfate, pre-hydroxylated aluminum sulfate, and polyaluminum silicate sulfate reduced CSMR as coagulant dose increased, also as would be expected. The highest sulfate contributors per 10 mg/L dose were pre-hydroxylated aluminum sulfate (6.2 mg/L) and ferric sulfate (6.0 mg/L). The lowest CSMR achieved was 0.6 in Lake Ontario water at a 30 mg/L dose and 0.8 in Grand River water at a 60 mg/L dose. Highest DOC removals were achieved with the chloride-containing coagulants in both waters (35 – 50%) with aluminum chlorohydrate showing superiority in that respect. DOC removals with sulfate-containing coagulants were less, generally in the range of 22 – 41%. Specificity of critical CSMR values to source water needs to be investigated. Additionally, long term effects of sustained high or low CSMR values in distribution systems need to be further looked into. Finally, the effect of interventions to alter CSMR on other water quality parameters influencing lead corrosion such as pH and alkalinity still represent a research deficit. chloride to sulfate mass ratio lead drinking water corrosion coagulant coagulation flocculant flocculation activated silica CSMR jar test organics removal Woodward Avenue water treatment plant Holmedale water treatment plant Lake Ontario Grand River pretreatment anionic activated silica cationic activated silica chloride contribution sulfate contribution turbidity removal UV absorbance lead control Pb DOC alum polyaluminum chloride prehydroxylated aluminum sulfate PHAS polyaluminum silicate sulfate PASS 100 ferric sulfate PACl aluminum sulfate aluminum chlorohydrate PAX XL 1900 sedimentation Actiflo sand ballasted clarification new coagulants upflow clarification bench scale simulation coagulant optimization Civil Engineering
