This report details the study of a freshwater stream carrying high doses of heavy metals into an already affected fjord. The purpose is to find out how the measured levels of heavy metals vary across the industrial area, and if these levels are posing an environmental or health threat to the surroundings. According to the water directive of the European Union, all waters should be protected in order to reach ’good status’, and deterioration should be prevented. To keep track of the status of waters, environmental quality standards (limit values known as EQS) are used by Norwegian environmental authorities to indicate pollution levels. All measured contents in this report are therefore compared with EQS or similar limit values. New water samples were taken along the stream and in the soil and sediments during the spring of 2016. The measured levels were then compared with older water samples, and showed clear variations across the industrial area for most of the substances. For some substances, high levels of pollution were found in the soil, sediment and water. Despite this, most measured heavy metals pose no threat environmentally or health-wise due to the very alkaline water in the stream, likely to leave most metals nonbioavailable. Although the stream is heavily loaded with various heavy metals, its lack of finer matter prevents metals from binding to organic ligands, allowing the stream to become more of a transportation means than a place for accumulating metals in the soil and sediments.

I projektet har jag undersökt postindustriella miljöer på landsbygden, hållbar produktion och offentliga platser. Genom att undersöka och kartlägga bruksorten Stora Vika med dess industriområde försökte jag hitta och föreslå ett nytt sätt att återanvända det förfallna området. Genom att ta tillvara på förfallet på platsen, en naturlig process som möjliggörs av svampars egenskaper, och för att anspela på platsens industriella arv föreslår jag i projektet ett svampcenter kombinerat med ett hus för folket. De offentliga funktionerna som placeras på platsen tillgängliggör och öppnar upp det idag avstängda industriområdet, medan mitt tillägg i en befintlig struktur både erbjuder offentliga rum, producerar mycel som byggnadsmaterial, odlar svamp till restaurangen och möjliggör forskning på svampars möjligheter i en omställning till ett mer hållbart samhället. I projektet har jag undersökt postindustriella områden, modernismens ruiner och hur det är möjligt att återanvända befintliga byggnader. / The project focuses on how to deal with post industrial areas in a rural context, sustainable production and public spaces. By researching and documenting Stora Vika and its post industrial area i tried to find a new way of usage in the decayed place. To take advantage of the decay, which is possible because of fungus, and to connect to the industrial heritage I proposed a centre for fungus, combined with a house for the people. The public functions of the building will make the area itself more available, whilst the existing structure I am working within will serve for public usage as well as produce mycelium as construction material, mushrooms for the restaurant and a laboratory for research on fungus. In this project I have looked into post industrial areas, modern ruins and possibilities of reusing an existing structure.

Urban strategy of possible redevelopment of post-industrial area with partial soil contamination. The main subject of the solution is the extent of integration into the city structure of Šlapanice. The second part is an architectural study of the brewery building, which is located in the center of the site.

School of architecture in Obřany...new enclave of architects, added value for town, new life for island. These facts would realize this transformation.

My intention to overstep limits and bounds is to renew and create comfortable environment for students and for the local inhabitants. I try to retain values and industrial charakter of spinnig factory.

The project aims to reshape the relation between industry and living in the obsolete harbour area in Suvilahti, Helsinki by creating a complex community that combines the residential area and public activities with industry and production. In this way, the whole community will be able to act like a micro city with all kinds of functions and be self-sufficient in a way. Helsinki has a long coastline and many good harbours on which the industrial development of the last century was largely dependent. However, since the industrial restructuring of inner Helsinki, the factories are no longer housed in these harbour industrial areas and replaced to suburb of Helsinki County. Located in the eastern Helsinki, Suvilahti used to power the city with the early power plant and the first-built gas plant. Later in 1970s, Hanassari power plant, the biggest one in Helsinki, was built. It was once the main energy production area in Helsinki, but now the factories have closed and are looking for new uses. The logistic area is left with large empty space and large industrial constructions need to be reproposed. In my proposal, I see the challenges in four aspects. Firstly, I propose a more liable community with more infrastructure and get the new residents involved. Secondly, the landscape will be reconnected and the polluted environment restored. Thirdly, cultural activities will be maintained and more facilities will be built. Lastly, in order to revitalize industry, certain types of industriy will be reintroduced into the buildings and experienced workers will be rehired.

A região do canal Jurubatuba apresenta uma contaminação de água subterrânea por solventes organoclorados alifáticos, nas zonas mais industrializadas, proveniente de várias fontes. As características de mobilidade, solubilidade e persistência destes organoclorados, em relação aos aqüíferos locais, propiciaram-lhes alcançar a rede de poços de produção, expondo a população a riscos. Esta situação levou a CETESB, órgão estadual de controle de poluição ambiental, e a COVISA, órgão municipal de proteção à saúde, a atuarem conjuntamente, intensificando investigações ambientais e lacrando poços. Em seguida, o DAEE, órgão estadual gestor dos recursos hídricos, determinou uma Área de Restrição e Controle Temporário de uso da água. O objetivo deste trabalho é reconhecer o cenário de contaminação e apresentar uma metodologia para a delimitação de áreas de restrição e controle de uso da água subterrânea. O cenário hidrogeológico e ambiental foi caracterizado utilizando-se de cadastro de poços, bases cartográficas, ensaios hidrodinâmicos e análises químicas, e os dados, tratados em tabelas e gráficos, foram trabalhados em SIG. A área estudada tem 120km2 e uma população aproximada de 2 milhões de habitantes. Um levantamento de atividades no Sistema de Fontes de Poluição (SIPOL), da CETESB, seguido da aplicação do método Pollutant Origin Surcharge Hydraulically (POSH), permitiu identificar 2.490 Áreas com Elevado Potencial de Contaminação. Verificou-se ainda, a ocorrência de 87 Áreas Contaminadas Declaradas (ACD), sendo 17 delas por estes organoclorados. Foram identificados 513 poços de produção outorgados e, estimado que haja centenas de poços clandestinos. Análises químicas destes organoclorados em 86 poços de produção resultaram em 46 poços com organoclorados, sendo que em 28 destes poços as concentrações estavam acima dos Valores Orientadores de Intervenção. Verificou-se indicações de fontes ativas de contaminação, tais como, poços de monitoramento com concentrações indicativas da presença de organoclorados em fase livre no aqüífero e o modelo de descarte de efluentes, em zona desprovida de coleta de esgoto, que sugere a presença destes organoclorados em galerias ambientalmente irregulares, distribuídas pela área. Com base nos resultados, propôs-se que a Área de Restrição e Controle seja definida considerando a densidade de atividades potenciais de contaminação, as áreas declaradas contaminadas por organoclorados e os poços de produção com ocorrência de organoclorados. Foram observados, ainda, os instrumentos legais aplicáveis para apontar medidas de restrição. A metodologia caracteriza pequenas áreas, similares em seus níveis de contaminação potenciais e reais, distinguindo-as em três conjuntos, a partir dos quais são traçadas áreas de Alta, Média e Baixa restrição. O método permite definir medidas de controle para cada nível de restrição e possibilita readequar os limites das áreas se houver variações das características dessas áreas. A Área de Alta Restrição tem 10,75 km², sendo significativamente menor do que a área de restrição temporária delimitada inicialmente (com 32 km2). O resultado foi diminuir as zonas com proibição de uso de água e, simultaneamente, ampliar o tamanho de áreas de menor nível de restrição (totalizando 59,75 km² de áreas restringidas), implantando controles de regularização de poços e monitoramentos de qualidade da água melhor direcionados, propiciando, portanto, uma utilização segura do aqüífero. / The groundwater in the region of the Jurubatuba channel is contaminated by aliphatic chlorinated solvents from various sources especially where the density of industrial activity is high. The contaminants detected are relatively persistent, soluble and mobile and many of them reach the deep supply well system exposing consumers of groundwater to risks. This fact led to CETESB the environmental agency of State of São Paulo and COVISA the municipal health agency to work together intensifying environmental investigations and sealed supply wells. After this, DAEE the water resources management agency of State of São Paulo create a \"Temporary Area of Restriction and Control\" to regulate the use of groundwater. The goal is to recognize the contamination scene and provide a methodology for the delimitation of Areas of Restriction and Control to the Use of Groundwater in the area of study. The hydrogeological and environmental scene was characterized by using the cadastre of wells, cartographic databases, hydrodynamic tests and chemical analysis and data were processed in tables and graphs and worked throw GIS. The area is 120km2 and has a population of approximately 2 million inhabitants. A survey of activities based in the System of Pollution Sources (SIPOL) followed by the application of the Pollutant Origin Hydraulically Surcharge (POSH) method has identified 2,490 Areas with High Potential for Contamination. There was also the occurrence of 17 Areas Designated as Contaminated by these organochlorines. There are 513 regulated supply wells and hundreds of illegal supply wells are estimated to exists. The chemical analysis of organochlorines from 86 supply wells detected concentrations in 46 wells and the concentrations were above the Guidelines Intervention Values in 28 wells. There are evidences of occurrence of active contamination sources such as great organochlorine concentrations founded in monitoring wells which are indicative of organochlorine free phase in the aquifer and also such the type of effluents discharge. Based on the results obtained it was proposed that the area of restriction and control to the use of groundwater would be defined considering the density of activities with potential contamination Areas Designated as Contaminated by organochlorine and areas with occurrence of supply contaminated by organochlorines. The applicable legal instruments to appoint measures of restriction also were observed. The methodology characterizes small areas similar in their levels of actual and potential contamination distinguishing into three sets from which areas of high, medium and low restriction are drawn. The method allows appoint control measures for each level of restriction and allows for readjustment the area boundaries if variations occur in the characteristics of these areas. The Area of High Restriction is 10.75 km² being significantly smaller than the temporary restriction area initially defined at 32 km2. The result was to reduce the areas with prohibition of groundwater use and also enlarge the size of lower levels restriction areas (totaling 59.75 km2 of restricted areas) implementing controls to regulate the use of supply wells and providing a better model to monitoring the water quality and therefore a safe use of the aquifer.

This dissertation details the design of a fish processing and distribution building in the Fishery Port of Maputo. The ‘port’ is explored as a threshold between a city and the ocean and the perceived spatial permanence of city form is brought into dialogue with the constantly changing forces of the harbour across this threshold. The cyclic fluidity of civic life mediates this dialogue to achieve an architecture conscious and manifest of the temporal. / Dissertation (MArch(Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Architecture / unrestricted
