41	REVITALIZACE BÝVALÉHO PRŮMYSLOVÉHO ÚZEMÍ V PRAZE, VYSOČANECH / REVITALIZATION OF THE FORMER INDUSTRIAL AREA IN PRAGUE, VYSOČANY Černeyová, Natália January 2019 (has links) The topic of the diploma’s thesis is a proposal of revitalization of the former industrial area in Prague, Vysočany. The neighborhood that was in the past in the suburbs of Prague near the railway is now barely used or not used for the benefit of the city district and its users. The proposal is based on creating an active environment that would correspond to the modern running of the city and serve the needs of its inhabitants. The urban-architectural study respects the current trends of the locality and ongoing development projects, which will significantly influence the appearance and functioning of Vysočany district. In particular, the given locality is characterized by the lack of urban life, as it is mainly the industrial district, as well as the center itself, which would correspond to a major urban district. An important part of the whole concept was the intervention of the area with the new city boulevard Kolbenova. The aim of the thesis is a proposal that would be based on the needs of Prague as a metropolitan city, therefore the proposal respects the currently discussed Metropolitan Plan, which allows high-rise development in the given locality. The study seeks to create sufficient housing capacity and opportunities that represent the potential for the entire city district and can respond to the demand of the population for quality living in the city according to current standards relating to the capital city of Prague.
42	Krajina 3.0 / Countryside 3.0 Přikrylová, Monika Unknown Date (has links) The proposal follows up on the undergraduate semester work which dealt with a topic of data centers - a lifestyle based on data circulation. Growing needs of city dwellers, coupled with the demand of constant connectivity, are reflected in the transformation of the landscape which is being occupied by gigantic data centers. Those data centres in the loopback reconfigure the environment of cities that use their instant and "unlimited" computing power. The landscape is becoming the engine room of digital urban life. The thesis develops social and environmental issues of "continuity between a city and a country” and outlines a problem of self-sufficiency and awareness of the energy intensity of current urban lifestyle. In my work I focus on one of the by-products of data centers. That is waste heat, which has a negative effect on the quality and lifespan of electronic components - it is undesirable. Data center entrepreneurs have found a way to divert unfavourable attention from the debate about the energy demand of big data. They transform waste into a desired commodity by replacing conventional forms of heating with a system newly based on the supply of waste heat. Therefore, they are becoming significant suppliers of thermal energy. The phenomenon of heat recycling neutralizes external criticism of big data by making urban life literally dependent on it. The sustainable future of data center operations takes place largely without critical debate. On the contrary, it confirms data production as a process that literally drives everyday life. This new wave of green techno-optimism and related implementations is shrouded in a discourse of innovation, environmental friendliness and smart data processing. The diploma thesis deals with the phenomenon of commodification of waste heat of a specific data center, and its potential for symbolic and material transformation of the urban environment. The critical dimension of this transformation allows visitors to literally experience first-hand the manipulation of the climate of a specific location - the new city market in Brno. Other issues arise in connection with the recycling of waste heat. What will happen when big data streams become a raw material to replace older forms of energy supply in an urbanized world? What will be the impact on the city´s heating, the economic and symbolic importance of data center entrepreneurs?
43	LIGHT AS A TOOL TO STRUCTURE URBAN PLANNING : A Socially-Oriented Approach GIL VENEGAS, IVONNE CRISTINA January 2018 (has links) How can light positively influence and encourage pedestrians’ engagement and interaction with the urban environments at night? In this Master Thesis, I questioned how to develop nighttime urban planning from a socially-oriented approach. In order to answer this question, I studied different evidence such as two publications, three lighting designers’ and a lighting studio’ approach; three case studies analyses, two of them located in Colombia (Cartagena and Medellín) and one in Sweden (Stockholm);and my own qualitative observation and quantitative measurements studied between April and May at Norrmalmstorg and Biblioteksgatan in Stockholm, Sweden. From that review, I propose a Guideline consisted of three sections: (1) Main dimensions, (2) lighting attributes, and (3) lighting systems in urban planning. In general, this guideline is a framework to develop the analytical tools for various design stages in nighttime urban planning.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Sergio.pdf: 1420878 bytes, checksum: c6d863c01acd82f0d76b183f449d43af (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007-05-10 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This study follows transformations in the living at Uberlândia, between 1980 and 2004. These changes had occurred in reason of some conjunctures that had evidenced the fight for the right for city and the debates on the hunger as a new historical phenomena, making the poverty and the poor persons be under focus in the politician, social city horizon. At this aspect, the local newspaper Correio had functioned as intersection point and it had worked as ideas spreading and explanations for the existence, permanence and visibility reached by the poverty in the urban life. Among the possible explanations, it had surfaced notions as ignorance , disdain for the cultural goods and values, propensity to the high natality and predisposition to the alcohol and drugs. The analyses of these notions had been seen as class fight expression inside on a cultural dynamics that determined a place at the social one to the poor persons. In this direction, the research consider ways by which the public power had intervined in the unpolitization and disarrangement of the fights implemented for the poor persons in the city, concretized in implementation and regulation of financial support distribution politics. Thus, this study aims to understand memories and histories produced in this transformation process, attempting for ways by wich the public politics had contributed to the ordinance and poverty senses construction during those years. By means of the verbal narratives, we aims to understand how the beneficiaries had lived, experienced and elaborated consciences on the tensions and relations firmed with religious, givers and public service agents, tensions and relations that had been translated to behavior ways and expectations on the future / Este estudo acompanha transformações no viver em Uberlândia, entre 1980 e 2004. Essas mudanças ocorreram em função de várias conjunturas que evidenciaram a luta pelo direito à cidade e as discussões sobre a fome como um novo fenômeno histórico, fazendo com que a pobreza e os pobres se destacassem no horizonte político e social da cidade. Nesse aspecto, o jornal local Correio funcionou como ponto de intersecção, de divulgação de idéias e explicações para a existência, permanência e visibilidade alcançada pela pobreza na vida urbana. Entre as explicações possíveis, sobressaíram-se noções de ignorância , de desprezo pelos bens e valores culturais, de propensão à alta natalidade, de predisposição ao álcool e às drogas. As análises dessas noções foram vistas como expressão das lutas de classe no interior de uma dinâmica cultural que determinava um lugar no social aos pobres. Nesse sentido, a pesquisa dimensiona modos pelos quais o poder público interveio na despolitização e no desarranjo das lutas implementadas pelos pobres na cidade, consubstanciados na implementação e regulamentação de políticas de distribuição de apoio financeiro. O trabalho busca, então, compreender memórias e histórias produzidas nesse processo de transformação, atentando para os modos como as políticas públicas contribuíram na ordenação e na construção de sentidos de pobreza implementadas durante aqueles anos. Por meio das narrativas orais, busca-se compreender como os beneficiários viveram, experimentaram e elaboraram consciências sobre as tensões e relações firmadas com religiosos, doadores e agentes do serviço público, tensões e relações que foram traduzidas em modos de comportamento e em expectativas sobre o futuro Vida Urbana Empobrecimento Trabalhadores Políticas Públicas Uberlandia, MG -- Historia Pobreza urbana -- Uberlandia, MG Uberlandia, MG -- Politica e governo Politicas publicas Urban Life Impoverishing Workers Public Politics CNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::HISTORIA
47	Modernitet och intermedialitet i Erik Asklunds tidiga romankonst Askander, Mikael January 2003 (has links) Modernitet och intermedialitet is the first major study of the Swedish modernist writer Erik Asklund (1908-1980) and his works. The thesis consists of an introductory chapter and three close readings of Asklund’s early novels Kvinnan är stor (The Woman is Great, 1931), Lilla land (A Small Country, 1933), and Fanfar med fem trumpeter (A Fanfare with Five Trumpets, 1934). In these novels, Asklund depicts modernity in Sweden in the 1930’s. Exploring the modernity of the 1930’s in Asklund’s novels, especially the contemporary media situation turns out to be one of the most important aspects. Asklund wrote stories about film, music and various forms of visual culture, (photography, for instance). These different forms of art and media play an important role for Asklund’s writings, not only thematically, but also narationally. In my analyses, I put forward different theoretical aspects of intermediality. In this context, the ideas of Werner Wolf have been especially useful to my examinations of the intermedial aspects in Asklund’s works. In the novel Kvinnan är stor, Asklund tells the story about the young woman Lydia, who moves from the countryside to the big city of Stockholm. She then learns to decode the modern urban society, and becomes a modern woman. In Kvinnan är stor, intermediality is expressed mainly through various connections to film and photography. The modernization of Sweden in the early 20th century was much a question of the countryside becoming modern. In Lilla land, Asklund depicts this process. The novel is one of the first works ever focusing the forming of the Swedish welfare state project. The story is told in a cinematic or filmical way. The third novel to be analysed in the thesis is Fanfar med fem trumpeter. This is one of the first Swedish jazz novels. Asklund tells the story about five young unemployed men in Stockholm who form a jazz orchestra, and make a career. The novels characters experience everyday life as “medialized”; they compare reality with music, film, and photography. These novels, as well as all Asklund’s writings from the 1930’s, are important contributions to the “story about Sweden becoming a modern country”. This “story” consists of the novels, short stories and poems written in the early decades of the 20th century in Sweden.

48	Matar al “Chino”. Entre la revolución urbanística y el asedio urbano en el barrio del Raval de Barcelona Fernández González, Miquel 07 November 2012 (has links) Esta tesis estudia las alteraciones de la vida urbana en la calle d'en Robador del barrio del Raval de Barcelona como consecuencia de las intervenciones urbanísticas que allí se han producido en los últimos veinte años. Las incisiones urbanísticas en el Raval han comportado destrucción de patrimonio arquitectónico, habitacional y cultural de gran valor. Asimismo, han generado expulsiones de población, y en cierta medida y en ciertas zonas, su substitución por otra de mayor capacidad de dispendio. Se ha realizado un rastreo histórico sobre el Raval poniendo énfasis en las sucesivas culturas de control aplicadas allí sobre una población caracterizada por un elevado componente obrero y descapitalizado. Esto es complementado por una etnografía crítica de la calle citada -llevada a cabo entre los años 2010 y 2012, que ofrece una actualización de la perspectiva con el fin de establecer las persistencias y recurrencias que los sucesivos gobernantes han ensayado en lo que han sido hasta hoy los “bajos fondos” de la ciudad, el mítico “Barrio Chino”. / This thesis explores changes of urban life on d'en Robador street on the Raval district of Barcelona as a result of urban interventions that have occurred there in the past twenty years. The urbanistic incisions in the Raval had destroyed urban heritage, architectural, residential and cultural valuable assets. Furthermore, they resulted in population expulsions, and -to some extent, and in certain areas- its replacement by people of greater income. Historical tracking on Raval neighbourhood has been made, emphasizing the observation on successive control cultures applied there over an impoverished population with a marked working class profile. This is complemented by a critical ethnography performed between 2010 and 2012 in the above-named street that brings that perspective up to date to establish the persistence and recurrence in the successive governments action on what has been up to today the "underworld" of the city, the mythical "Chinatown".

50	Hur blir du en framgångsrik tiggare i Sverige? : en undersökning av tiggandets och givandets bilder 2011 till 2016 / How do you become a successful beggar in Sweden? : an inquiry into the images of begging and giving 2011 to 2016 Parsberg, Cecilia January 2016 (has links) Mitt första möte med en tiggande föranledde mig att under fem år undersöka den nya situationen för tiggeriet och giveriet i Sverige. Förutsättningen är att vardagliga handlingar och reaktioner gentemot en annan människa kan synliggöras estetiskt med en etisk klangbotten. Min undersökning utspelar sig i första hand i gaturummet och i medierna. Det är hela tiden bilderna som är utgångspunkten för resonemangen och de gestaltande verken. Bilder som både separerar och länkar samman kroppar. Vilka bilder är i spel i tiggeriets och giveriets sociala koreografi? Hur kan bilder i detta sammanhang aktiveras på nya sätt? Hur kan nya genereras? Tiggandet är en uppmaning till social interaktion, och vare sig givaren socialt interagerar eller inte med den tiggande människan på gatan så involveras givaren i det europeiska samfundets asymmetriska värdesystem. I min första gestaltning anlitas en professionell marknadsundersökare för att ta reda på hur en tiggare i Sverige skulle kunna göra för att bli framgångsrik. Det blir en film som jag sedan visar mittemot en film där tiggande pratar om hur givare ger. Ur detta verk följer så en rad gestaltningar och en interdisciplinär teoretisk diskussion med bland andra Judith Butler, Sara Ahmed och Hannah Arendt, samt med en rad konstnärers arbeten, kring hur bilder – och kroppsliga handlingar – är kopplade till samhällsbilden och samhällskroppen? Körernas uppställning i gestaltningen Tiggandets kör och Givandets kör anger ett utrymme för social interaktion och demonstrerar därmed en annan ordning som kräver andra insatser, i språk, rörelse och attityd gentemot varandra. Det är en social koreografi: när körerna tränade och sjöng tillsammans uppstod en politisk form. Min förhoppning är att estetiskt synliggöra ett politiskt handlingsutrymme mellan tiggandet och givandet som kan utnyttjas för fortsatta etiska förhandlingar, och nya gestaltningar. / My first encounter with a begging person led me to spend five years investigating the new situation regarding begging and giving in Sweden. The premise is that every-day actions and reactions to another person can be made visible through aesthetics with ethical underpinnings. My investigation takes place mainly in the urban landscape and in the media. The images always constitute the point of departure for the reasoning and for the staged works. Images that separate as well as connect bodies. Which images are at play in the social choreography of begging and giving? In this context, how can images be activated in new ways? How can new images be generated? Begging is a call to social interaction, and regardless of whether the giver interacts socially with the begging person on the street, the giver is implicated in the asymmetrical value systems of the European Union. In my first staged work I hire a professional market researcher to find out how a beggar in Sweden should behave to be successful. This becomes a film that I then show opposite another film in which begging people talk about how givers give. This is followed by a number of staged works and an interdisciplinary theoretical discussion involving, among others, Judith Butler, Sara Ahmed, and Hannah Arendt, as well as a number of artistic works concerning how images – and bodily actions – are linked to the social image and the body politics. The arrangement of the choirs in the staged work The Chorus of Begging and The Chorus of Giving, indicates a space for social interaction and thus demonstrates a different order that demands different actions in terms of language, movement, and attitude toward each other. It’s a social choreography: when the choirs rehearsed and sung together a political form emerged. My hope is to make visible a space for action between the begging and the giving that can be used for continued ethical negotiations and new staged works. / <p>Föreliggande doktorsarbete har genomförts och handletts i forskarutbildningen i Fri konst vid Konsthögskolan, Umeå universitet.
