Dissertation thesis deals with the design of street furniture sitting element (bench) merging two views of related disciplines - industrial design and architecture. Creative output solves the problems of the street furniture in urban space. They were initially targeted as a realizable design with production ambitions. The thesis contains several validation steps to confirm the feasibility of the designed solutions. Design of innovative sitting element based on an unconventional form and integration of a supplemental bicycle stand function is the first result. Designed element solves the problem of unwanted street furniture usage in urban space. The author named as "antiergonomic principles" restrictive set of the principles of unwanted usage, which is a specific problem of street furniture used anonymously in the public space. Universally applicable street furniture anchoring element is the second result. It completes a complex approach to the topic. The designed solution, prefabricated element, eliminates the disadvantages of the commonly used methods of anchoring to the pavement or monolithic concrete bases. Prefabricated element is designed as a part of the gravel placed under the pavement.

The thesis contains a proposal of street furniture series. Modular solution features the ability to adapt to different environments. Project works with the idea of originality notions of public space and creates distinctive places.

This work is dedicated to development of city furniture (station shed, bench, litter box). The first part contains the analysis of city furniture (historical, technical and design). Second part is dedicated to the design decision in particular. The main goal was to contemplate the design of station shed, which will be totally defending from bad weather; bench design, which would be impossible to be used as a ‘bed for homeless’; litter box, which would be aesthetically matching the shed and the bench. Additional task was to contemplate canopies of various sizes, enabling the city to install same type of canopies regardless of the size. The suggested design has been influenced by aesthetics, ergonomics, technology and other important aspects of industrial design.

I decided to involve new bicycle stand in cooperation with Czech street furniture company mmcité. My point is to design bicycle stand, which is useful with materials and construction, which is not expensive and has easy production. I tried to respect shape and function of bicycle and design bicycle stand with ideal fixation and good lockout. There are three basic versions depending on number of parked bikes.

ABSTRACT IMPROVEMENT OF ATAT&Uuml / RK STREET IN ANTALYA AS A PROBLEM OF SPATIAL CONTINUITY SAYDAM, Oya M.Arch., Department of Architecture Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Vacit MAMOGLU January 2006, 162 pages The city is a fundamental and universal human creation. It is a unique centre for social life as well as individual and collective fulfillment. However, cities have been shaped and reshaped by mere functionalistic, stylistic and materialistic aspects rather than developmental ones that incorporate social, cultural and environmental variables. The frantic, irreversible urban growth that societies throughout the world have experienced over the past few decades has caused a transformation of urban spaces and agglomerations, which rarely corresponds to expectations, and aspirations. Especially public spaces have played a key role within this transformation of the cities. In this context, conserving local public places, as a reminder of the past and an echo of the spirit of culture, is a matter of a great concern to reinstating identity and character. The thesis supports this argument by the case study of Atat&uuml / rk Street in Antalya, which suffers from disintegration and confusion because of haphazard growth, dense building, visual pollution, and degradation of the physical environment qualities. The thesis provides a detailed account of the project from initiation through problem identification, development of conceptual framework, and finally planning and architectural proposal. The case study highlights the need for a sensitive developmental approach, which harmonises the interactions between pedestrians, traffic and street furniture as well as cultural, physical environment and technical considerations. Within the scope of these criteria, the main objective of this thesis is to bring forth a project for designing new urban design components in historic context through the interpretation of objects of historical heritage and the existing qualities. Considering the critical problems affecting physical environment and causing imbalance in the lives of inhabitants in the city of Antalya, a project proposal is presented. The project has been prepared to provide solutions with simple and easy implementation, providing better harmony between man and his environment.

The transit shelter, the space where riders make the transition from open space to more controlled buses and trains, is in many cases the site of a public-private transaction. Here, government agencies contract private companies to build and maintain shelters in exchange for governmental allowance of advertising in these locations. This dual purpose—the shelter serves concurrently as protection for transit users and as a moneymaker—means the space is contested, with economic and social needs often at odds. Bus shelter advertising contracts (BSACs), increasingly operated by large corporations, have resulted in widespread networks of bus shelters; observing these renders processes of globalization—generally not visible at the street level—more legible. Drawing from case studies of Lyon, France, and Los Angeles and New Orleans, United States, this thesis describes successes and failures both in the implementation of bus shelter contracts and in the provision of public amenities via shelters.

Esta dissertação trata dos abrigos para usuários em pontos de parada de ônibus na cidade de São Paulo, que são popularmente conhecidos como abrigo de ônibus. Toma como exemplo a produção mais recente no município: os abrigos SP450 e Barbosa & Corbucci (B&C), implantados na gestão da prefeita Marta Suplicy - 2001-2004. Apresenta os abrigos enfocando seus aspectos de concepção, produção e implantação, e os analisa através de suas características de mobiliário urbano e as relações com o sistema de transporte público urbano. Ao observar sua inserção dentro do funcionamento do sistema de transporte e da situação política, evidenciam-se os desvios entre a concepção das propostas e a realidade de sua implantação. Conforme verificado na pesquisa realizada, o desenvolvimento de uma peça de mobiliário abrange uma ampla escala - desde o planejamento urbano até detalhamento de projeto - com interface em diversas áreas do conhecimento: design e produção, instalação e manutenção de peças e serviços, legislação, exploração econômica, gestão de espaço público, gestão de infra-estrutura urbana, entre outras. Longe de esgotar o tema, a pesquisa documenta a atual condição de permanência na cidade, fornecendo subsídios para desenvolvimentos complementares, e expõe algumas das condicionantes de concepção e produção de abrigos de ônibus urbanos, como equipamento para uso em espaço público. / This work raises the formerly São Paulo city´s bus shelters. It starts with the most recent local production, developed in Marta Suplicy Mayor Management (2001-2004): SP450 and Barbosa & Corbucci bus shelters models. The text introduces the bus shelters focusing in the conception, production and installation aspects, and analyses them throughout your urban furniture characteristics and the bus system transportation relations. Looking inside the system transport management and the political situation, show up the differences between the original proposals and the real implementation. As verified, the urban space elements development reaches many scales - from urban planning until design detaliling - with interface in various fields: design and production, service installation and spare pieces maintenance conditions, legislation, economic exploitation, public space management, urban infrastructure management, among others. Without exhausting the theme, the research offers some outlines to the current situation - and provides subside for futures developments - and ask and expose some public space equipment conception and production limitations constraints, especially bus shelter´s guidelines.

Cidades como São Paulo, há muitos anos se utilizam de recursos georreferenciados para ajudar na sua gestão sem contudo utilizar os dados coletados de maneira integrada e contributiva para a tomada de decisão. Este trabalho apresenta uma solução de mobilidade, integrada com o mapa digital da cidade para a interação com todos os responsáveis por ações em campo, permitindo a recepção, coleta e transmissão de dados posicionados geograficamente, em tempo real com um sistema gerencial na retaguarda. São apresentados alguns casos de aplicação da solução onde o levantamento e a coleta de dados, bem como o envio de ordens de serviço a equipes de campo são realizados de maneira remota e em tempo real. A deficiência na capacidade de gestão de equipamentos e mobiliários urbanos em uma cidade como São Paulo, com seus 1.523 km2 de área, foi o estopim para a decisão de estudar e apresentar alternativas para o problema. Há muito tempo a cidade carece de ferramentas de gestão e controle em todas as áreas que dependem da interação física com o território. As questões de mobilidade urbana também foram analisadas como foco para aplicação da solução de mobilidade aqui apresentada. Com o crescimento da população urbana mundial projetado pela ONU Organização das Nações Unidas a saltar de 51% em 2010 para 70% em 2050 e com o fortalecimento das economias mundiais, a questão da mobilidade (ou imobilidade) urbana e a sustentabilidade da operação e das ações necessárias passa a ser um assunto inadiável para gestores, empresários e pesquisadores. Sendo um tema com muitas variáveis e inúmeras classificações, os estudos, simulações e verificações de campo carecem de análise e publicidade. Apresentamos o problema através de estudos, relatórios analíticos, e verificação de alguns softwares de gestão e simulação para verificar a usabilidade da ferramenta móvel para a coleta e tomada de decisão em campo. Utilizamos comparativamente estudos de caso para apresentar vantagens e desvantagens de algumas ferramentas buscando boas práticas. Com a apresentação do problema e uma proposta de solução, suas dificuldades de implantação e seus benefícios, espera-se que o trabalho sirva de estímulo ao início de novos estudos e pesquisas sobre o tema. / Cities such as São Paulo, during many years use georeferenced resources to assist in their management but without using data collected in an integrated way and contribution to decision making. This paper presents a mobility solution, integrated with digital city map for interaction with those responsible for actions in the field, allowing the reception, collection and transmission of data positioned geographically in real time with a management system in the office. Here are presented some cases with the applications of solution where the survey and data collection, as well as sending work orders to field teams, performed remotely and in real time. The deficiency in the ability to manage equipment and street furniture in a city like São Paulo, with its 1,523 km2, was the trigger for the decision to study and present alternatives to the problem. The long time the city lacks control and management tools in all areas that depend on the physical interaction with the territory. The issues of urban mobility were also analyzed as a focus for implementing our mobility solution presented here. With the growth of world urban population projected by the UN United Nations, to jump from 51% in 2010 to 70% in 2050 and to the strengthening of world economies, the issue of mobility (or immobility) and the urban sustainability of the operation and necessary actions becomes a pressing for managers, entrepreneurs and researchers subject. Being a topic with many variables and number of classifications, studies, simulations and field checks require discussion and publicity. Here the problem through studies, analytical reports, and verification of some management software and simulation to verify the usability of mobile tool for collecting and decision making in the field. We use case studies compared to present advantages and disadvantages of some tools seeking good practice. With the presentation of the problem and a proposed solution, their difficulties in deployment and its benefits, it is expected that the work will stimulate the initiation of new studies and research on the topic.
