A Subjetividade MaquÃnica em Guattari / The Machinic Subjectivity in GuattariDavid Britto de Souza 30 September 2008 (has links)
nÃo hà / A presente pesquisa se propÃs a dois objetivos principais: 1) Um geral, que serà expor o conceito de subjetividade maquÃnica de Felix Guattari; 2) e um outro, mais especÃfico, que pretende analisar as contribuiÃÃes deste conceito para uma compreensÃo mais social e ampla da subjetividade, levando em consideraÃÃo a heterogeneidade nÃo-humana, maquÃnica, desta produÃÃo, fato este que se evidencia fortemente no capitalismo pÃs-industrial. Mostramos como a produÃÃo de subjetividade à a indÃstria de base deste pe-rÃodo e os pontos de ruptura possÃveis encontrados por Guattari, proporcionados pelos avanÃos tecnolÃgicos e as formas de organizaÃÃo social caracterÃsticos deste perÃodo. Frente à massificaÃÃo e homogeneizaÃÃo da produÃÃo de subjetividade, a teoria guatta-riana propÃe uma produÃÃo singularizante e autÃnoma, a partir de um paradigma Ãtico-estÃtico, baseada em seu conceito de ecosofia, o qual propÃe uma articulaÃÃo Ãtico-polÃtica da subjetividade, do social e do ambiental. A subjetividade à maquÃnica, ou seja, à produzida no socius atravÃs de elementos heterogÃneos como as relaÃÃes sociais, as mÃquinas tecnolÃgicas, as mÃquinas incorporais, o Ãmbito estÃtico, a economia, a polÃtica etc. AtravÃs dos conceitos de micropolÃtica, autopoiese e pÃs-mÃdia vimos as indicaÃÃes de como à possÃvel uma produÃÃo de subjetividade mais autÃnoma e singular. / This work intents to address two main themes:1) At large, we aim to explain the concept of âmachinic subjectivityâ coined by Felix Guattari; 2) In a more specific way we tried to analyse the contributions that this concept brings to the understanding of the subjectivity in a more social and wide way considering the heterogeneity not-human, machinic of this production, fact that is strongly noted on the postindustrial capitalism. We have demonstrated that the production of subjectivity is the base industry of this period e the breaking possible points found by Guattari that have been possible by the technological advancements and the forms of social organization of this period. Before the massification and homogenization of subjectivity production the guattarian theory propose a singular and autonomy production from a ethic-esthetic paradigm based on his concept of ecosophy that propose an articulation ethic-politic of subjectivity, social and environment. The subjectivity is machinic it means that it is a production from socius through heterogenic elements such as social relations, technological and invisible machines, aesthetic field, the economy, the politics etc. Through the concepts of micro-politics, autopoiesis and post-media we saw how a production of subjectivity can be more close to autonomy and singularity

HAZELDEAN- Regenerating a Neglected Landscape: A revived identity and a new purposeMartins, Kiana Afonso 09 November 2013 (has links)
Tshwane is a city that is expanding eastwards. In the process, valuable cultural and ecological landscapes are being neglected. These unique landscapes, which contain critical environmental assets, could be made attractive to the general public and thus should be protected wherever possible. The expansion of the city is inevitable. While cities need to accommodate more people, they should also provide socially and culturally enriching outdoor spaces.
This study uses landscape architecture and regenerative theory to suggest ways of making post-industrial sites productive again. The Hazeldean dairy; a site of cultural significance, environmental assets and physical charm, is in danger of becoming a deteriorating and forgotten landscape. The hypothesis argues that that by adapting to current social, economic and sustainable requirements, a new and living landscape can be created. This would prevent Hazeldean from becoming a characterless buffer between surrounding property developments.
The design interventions proposed for the Hazeldean farm should enhance its historical and ecological value and attract visitors to the property for many different reasons, throughout the year. Ultimately, Hazeldean should endure as a physical and socially valuable asset within the rapidly expanding city of Tshwane. / Dissertation ML(Prof)--University of Pretoria, 2014 / Architecture / ML(Prof) / Unrestricted

Landscape experience : an archetypal landscape approach to water spacesLabuschagne, Ilze January 2014 (has links)
Aesthetics were the main passion of early century landscape architects. A focus on the concern with ecology followed, while the late twentieth century landscape architecture developed towards a concentration on restoration and recovery and so focussed more on redeployment than replacement (Campbell 2006).
Today, in the twenty-first century, mankind is overwhelmed with issues of global warming, exhausted natural resources, and disappearing ecologies. Landscape architects are focused on providing sustainable landscapes from which both humans and nature can benefit. Attempts to create parks or green spaces for people‟s enjoyment become joined movements to simultaneously restore ecosystems, produce food or energy, reclaiming damaged sites and designing these interventions to be entertaining and interesting to the surrounding communities. Furthermore, landscapes have become catalysts in assisting with urban densification and reducing urban sprawl in their attempts to be multi-functional, process- and environment- focused designs. At last a question remains: do these twenty-first century landscapes relate to the individual? Have these sustainable systems and processes become the new aesthetic? And do visitors to designed landscapes still have rich spatial experiences?
This dissertation explores the questions stated above. Part One focuses on the countering of urban sprawl through a process-focused landscape design response on an urban and framework level, while Part Two investigates if this new contemporary notion aids designers to create spatially aesthetic landscapes. A theoretical study and experiential conceptual development strategies are followed to aid in form-generation.
The design follows a hypothetical course that starts with process and system planning followed by spatial landscape explorations. This phenomenological investigation will be resolved up to a detailed sketch plan level. / Dissertation ML(Prof)--University of Pretoria, 2014 / Architecture / ML(Prof) / Unrestricted

Going West : using landscape to regenerate urban formSmit, P.G. 03 March 2011 (has links)
Everyone wants to live in a healthy environment, an idea that has always been closely associated with the healthy landscape. Pretoria CBD is no longer a place that offers such a landscape; it is congested, fragmented and placeless. People move far and wide to get away from its hostile environments, chasing after the high gloss images of nature displayed on the billboards and posters of suburbia. They race to find a patch of land within the security complexes and estates of the east, all the while being savagely pursued by the evils of urban sprawl and decentralization. Surely there must be a way of addressing mans need and desire for landscape without perpetuating urban problems and destroying the very nature they strive for? In order to ensure a sustainable future for Pretoria needs to investigate new ways to deal with the urban problems of sprawl and decay. This thesis explores the potential of using landscape as the basis with which one can reorder and reconstruct the urban form in a way that will offer people the ideals they search within a sustainable urban environment. The investigation starts at a regional scale in order to holistically address urban issues and identify opportunities and then works its way across a range of scales down to detail design and place making. It looks new methods of constructing contemporary landscapes not by mere superimposition but by working with the current and historic urban fabric as well as the social, historical and environmental processes that have shaped it over time. It looks to the far from idyllic, yet brutally honest, post-industrial landscape of Pretoria West to construct hybrid landscapes. Arguing that if one were to genuinely offer people a healthy landscape, one they can experience and relate to, the might actually want to live in the city, in return awakening spontaneous urban renewal. / Dissertation (ML(Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2011. / Architecture / unrestricted

Beneath the arches : re-appropriating the spaces of infrastructure in ManchesterRosa, Brian January 2014 (has links)
This thesis sets out to explore the implications that transport infrastructures have on the production and perception of the urban built environment. Particularly, it focuses on the Victorian brick viaducts constructed to support the elevated railway in Manchester, England. It concentrates on Manchester’s post-industrial restructuring and re-imaging since the late 1960s, exploring how the presence of brick railway viaducts, as well as the uses beneath their arches, have impacted strategies for revalorisation in the wake of gradual deindustrialisation. In exploring the changing symbolic economy of landscapes dominated by railway infrastructure, as well as the shifting uses and images of railway arches, this thesis explores the interplay between political economy and the aesthetic and symbolic dimensions of urban regeneration. Upon establishing the mutually constituted history of Manchester’s elevated railways and its city centre and demonstrating how this 19th century process has shaped the form and character of the city, it excavates a cultural history of the infrastructural landscapes of the city. Special emphasis is placed on the uses and perceptions of railway arches, which have long served as symbols of dereliction and social disorder. These spatial and cultural histories act as a foundation for analysing how the city’s railway viaducts have been implicated in the re-imagining of Manchester as a post-industrial city. These histories and representations are explored in relation to property-led strategies of environmental improvement, industrial displacement, and heritage tourism along the southern fringe of Manchester city centre, focusing on three thematic and spatially bound case studies. These case studies rely on documentary data of planning and design strategies, interviews with elite actors involved in the re-imaging of Manchester city centre, and ethnographic observation. Using critical discourse analysis, the thesis unpacks the narrative relationship between dominant representations of these spaces and professional justifications for their material and symbolic reconfiguration.

Food-Based Businesses and the Creative Class in New England's Post-Industrial CitiesCigliano, Francesca 08 April 2020 (has links)
This master’s thesis examines how the density of food-based businesses in New England’s post-industrial urban neighborhoods relates to neighborhood demographic characteristics. The relationship between food-based businesses and demographic change has been examined in larger metropolitan areas like New York City and Chicago and has found that younger, wealthier, and more highly educated residents tend to live where there are greater densities of food businesses. However, there has been little research on the topic in New England’s post-industrial cities that have historically struggled to attract highly sought knowledge workers. I find that food business density and the share of residents employed in creative class professions is positively correlated in most cases; however, over time, the share of creative class workers and food businesses per capita has a negative relationship. Additionally, the share of residents living below the poverty line and food business densities have a significant and positive relationship. Neighborhood racial composition is a less significant factor, overall. In sum, the findings from this study suggest that food business density and creative class populations have a more nuanced relationship in regional post-industrial cities compared to larger metropolitan areas.

ZBROJOVKA BRNO / ZBROJOVKA FACTORY BRNOSmejkalová, Veronika January 2014 (has links)
This diploma project deals with a post-industrial factory area Zbrojovka Brno. It proposes a strategy for its revitalisation and development. On contrary to official studies of one time reconstruction and creation of a residential site, the proposal brings an idea of step by step transformation into a multifunctional city quarter with preservation and new use of original industrial architecture. The strategy has four main phases, which are characterised by addition of functions, metamorphoses of public space and opening of the area and connecting it to neighbourhoods. After the four phases, the area should become a healthy and sustainable city with a compact structure with mixed functions, high quality public spaces linked with greenery, sustainable system of transportation and energetic concept and with use of community sharing.
