Ce mémoire s‘intéresse à la spatialité du jeu vidéo et à l‘adaptation vidéoludique de lieux réels. Il se concentre sur un lieu précis, le métro, et sur sa représentation dans le genre de l‘horreur. Cette recherche comprend trois niveaux d‘adaptation du lieu et de création spatiale, soit l‘adaptation systémique, l‘adaptation sociohistorique et finalement l‘adaptation technologique. À partir d‘exemples de jeux comparés aux réalités concrètes du métro, ces trois niveaux d‘adaptation sont analysés afin d‘explorer à la fois les impacts du lieu virtuel sur l‘expérience de jeu et les influences externes qui guident la conception vidéoludique. / This master thesis studies video games‘ spatiality and the ludic adaptation of real locations. It focuses on one specific location, the subway, and on its representation in the horror genre. The research is structured by three levels of adaptation : systemic, sociohistorical and technological. Based on examples of games compared with the reality of the subway, those three levels of adaptation enable at once an exploration of the impact of the virtual location on the gaming experience and of the external influences on the game design.

L’époque hellénistique est le moment où les villes d’Ionie et de Carie changent peu à peu d’aspect. Dans chaque ville ou presque, quantité de monuments publics nouveaux façonnent progressivement un paysage urbain inédit qui se présente comme un miroir de la cité qui l’a créé. C’est cette transformation sans précédent des centres urbains durant l’époque hellénistique que cette thèse se propose d’étudier, en portant attention aux villes d’Ionie et de Carie dans toute leur diversité. Elle cherche à dégager le sens des changements dans deux régions à l’hellénisation ancienne et fortement urbanisées, caractérisées par des interactions entre cités et rois hellénistiques. Cette étude propose des pistes pour mieux comprendre les sociétés civiques au travers d’un lieu de vie : la ville. L’approche privilégie ce que la ville a de plus remarquable, ses édifices publics. Dans une première partie consacrée aux fortifications urbaines, aux lieux qui abritent les activités politiques, et aux espaces de la vie culturelle au sens large, les monuments publics sont évoqués en tant qu’espaces de la vie civique, et l’on s’interroge sur les raisons de la construction de tant de bâtiments nouveaux. Dans un second temps, une étude plus transversale de l’espace urbain décrit comment se met en place à cette époque un cadre de vie véritablement urbain, avec un paysage, des aménagements et une organisation de l’espace bien spécifique. La troisième partie consacrée aux thématiques économiques montre comment la prospérité des cités se traduit dans la pierre : la construction de bâtiments pour abriter les activités économiques témoigne autant du souci des cités de développer et d’encadrer ces activités que de la richesse de la vie économique des poleis. Ce dynamisme contribue aussi à expliquer une activité de construction soutenue, rendue possible par l’existence de ressources abondantes et variées à la disposition des cités. La réflexion porte pour finir sur la dimension politique et sociale des transformations de l’espace urbain. Cette dernière partie se place dans une perspective historique plus large, celle de l’évolution de la cité hellénistique. / The Hellenistic period is the time when the aspect of the cities of Ionia and Caria is changing gradually. In almost each city, an amount of new public buildings progressively shaping a new urban landscape that looks like a mirror of the city that created it. It is this unprecedented transformation of urban centers during the Hellenistic period that this thesis studies, with attention to the cities of Ionia and Caria in all their diversity. We aim at making sense of the changes in these two regions, which experienced hellenisation and urbanisation early ; they are also characterized by interactions between cities and Hellenistic kings. This study suggests ways of understanding civic societies through the city. We are looking at t the most remarkable features of the city : its public buildings . In the first part devoted to urban fortifications, buildings housing political activities , and areas of cultural life , public monuments are mentioned as spaces of civic life , and we search for the reason why many new buildings were built. Then, the study describes how urban space becomes a place of truly urban life, with a landscape, facilities and a specific spatial organization. In a third section, we show how the cities’ economic prosperity is reflected in stone buildings – some of them housing economic activities – reflects the will of cities to develop and oversee economic activities and the wealth of the poleis. This also helps explain a sustained construction activity made possible by the existence of abundant and varied resources available to cities. Finally, the reflection deals with political and social aspects of the evolution of urban space. This last part is placed in a broader historical perspective, that of the evolution of the Hellenistic city.

The thesis focuses on the construction and symbolic encoding of Prague from 1945 to the late 1950s, with emphasis on the Stalinist era. Based on an analysis of historical texts and architectural projects, the thesis studies the motivations and tactics, which the post-war political and professional elites sought to manifest their own values and ideological principles in the area of the capital city. Through the analysis of historical concepts of "old" and "new" Prague examines the thesis the changing relationship between tradition and modernity in the image of the city. The sociocultural phenomenon of Stalinism is thematized as a specific part of the long process of modernization, which passes through Prague during the first half of the 20th century. The thesis deals also with the attributes that should characterize the "new" socialist Prague and with the ways of using the Soviet patterns and local historical traditions. Keywords: Prague, city, image of the city, architecture, urbanism, memory, heritage, socialist realism, stalinism, 1950s

Est-il encore possible de vivre et d’habiter l’espace aménagé et construit en particulier, quant à considérer le déluge technoscientifique et industriel qui détermine et influence le domaine de l’architecture moderne ? Le rationalisme et le fonctionnalisme d’une certaine tendance de l’architecture moderne en intégrant les progrès technoscientifiques et industriels dans le monde de la maison, semble condamner l’expérience d’habiter à une crise irréversible. L’activité architecturale se voulant conforme aux progrès scientifiques et techno-industriels, elle impose à l’expérience pratique de la maison et préscientifique des lieux de vie, des normes de vie découlant de la seule raison. C’est en général une architecture et un urbanisme modernes abstraits et fonctionnalistes qui se développent en suivant la voie de l’objectivité rationnelle ouverte par Galilée et Descartes, ils maîtrisent, administrent et esthétisent le tout du monde ainsi que toutes les expériences humaines à l’espace en les dépouillant des considérations poétiques, mythologiques et affectives. Ainsi, la construction des institutions humaines d’habitation devient dans l’identification de la crise d’habiter, un « processus technologique prosaïque dérivant directement de la raison mathématique, d’un diagramme fonctionnel, ou d’une règle de combinaisons formelles » au désavantage de l’expérience concrète d’habiter. Mais si l’architecture n’a pas affaire qu’à elle-même, si elle n’est pas une pratique qui trouve sa fin en elle-même puisqu’elle s’ouvre vers l’autre, comment peut-on philosophiquement toujours espérer habiter authentiquement, originairement et poétiquement le monde et l’espace de la maison en particulier ? La philosophie, par l’approche phénoménologique et herméneutique à partir de Gaston Bachelard et Merleau-Ponty, présente pour l'expérience moderne d'habiter, des voies significatives originales qui permettent de répondre à la crise qu’elle connait. En renouvelant autrement que par la seule connaissance rationnelle les relations de l'homme à l'espace, elle se présente comme une voie remarquable de ré-compréhension, de relecture et de ré-enchantement de l’expérience originaire d’habiter le monde, la ville et l’espace de la maison. / Is it still possible to inhabitate and live the laid out and constructed space in particular, as for considering the techno and industrial flood that determines and influences the field of modern architecture? Rationalism and functionalism of a given trend of modern architecture by incorporating techno and industrial progress in the world of home, seems to condemn the experience of living in an irreversible crisis. The architectural activity wanting to meet scientific and techno-industrial progress, it requires practical experience in home and prescientific places of life, of living standards arising from the only reason. It is a general an architecture and a modern, abstract and functionalist urbanism that develop along the path of rational objectivity initiated by Galileo and Descartes, they control , manage and aestheticize the whole world and all human experience to space by stripping poetic , mythological and emotional considerations. Thus, the construction of human institutions housing becomes in identifying the crisis of living a «prosaic and technological process deriving directly from the mathematical reason, a functional diagram, or a rule of formal suits «in drawback of the concrete experience of living. But if the architecture does not matter to itself, if it is not a practice that is an end in itself because it opens to another, how can we still philosophically hope to authentically, originally and poetically live the world and the space of the house in particular? Philosophy, by phenomenological and hermeneutic approach inheritated from Gaston Bachelard and Merleau-Ponty presents to the modern experience of living, original significant ways that respond to the crisis it faces. Renewing differently more than the only purely rational knowledge the relations of man to the space, it presents itself as a remarkable way of re- understanding, rereading and re-enchantment of the original experience of inhabitating the world , the city and the space of the house.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo compreender os processos de construção e gestão de uma cidade-marca e seus vínculos com o conceito de cidade criativa, bem como seus consequentes impactos nas políticas urbanas. Para tanto, tomou-se como estudo de caso a cidade de Londres, capital do país pioneiro na adoção do discurso da criatividade em suas políticas públicas e tida, na década de 90, como um dos principais centros de poder e controle global no capitalismo contemporâneo. Buscou-se construir um panorama histórico que mostra como Londres veio a ser promovida como uma cidade criativa, tendo a cultura no cerne das políticas de desenvolvimento econômico e urbano. Neste sentido, o trabalho procurou analisar o processo de construção, gestão e exportação da marca Londres, desenvolvida na virada do século XXI, evidenciando as tensões e aproximações entre as diferentes gestões do governo central britânico e as administrações municipais de Londres. Procurou-se explicitar o quanto tal processo culminou na realização dos Jogos Olímpicos de 2012, utilizados como ferramenta para direcionar recursos e a atenção midiática para o megaprojeto de regeneração do East End da cidade. A partir da análise dos novos arranjos institucionais e das estratégias discursivas adotadas para legitimar a realização de tal projeto, buscou-se, então, compreender qual o rebatimento urbano do processo de branding da cidade, tendo como foco os impactos no East End e mais especificamente na região de Hackney Wick promovida como o mais novo hub criativo de Londres - exemplificando as tensões entre a \"marca Londres\" e a \"Londres realmente existente\". / This work aimed to understand the processes of building and managing a city brand and its links to the creative city concept, as well as its consequent impact in the urban policies. Here London was taken as a case study, as the capital of the country that first adopted the discourse of creativity in its public policies in the 1990s and as one of the main concentrations of global economic power in contemporary capitalism. It sought to explore how London came to be promoted as a creative city, with culture at the heart of economic and urban development policies. In this sense, this work analysed the process of creation, management and export of the London brand, developed at the turn of the 21st century, showing the tensions and approximations between the different administrations of the British central government and the municipal administrations of London. It also sought to explain how this process culminated in the hosting of the 2012 Olympic Games, used as a tool to direct resources and the media attention towards the mega regeneration project of Londons East End. From the analysis of the new institutional arrangements and the discursive strategies adopted to legitimize the realisation of such a project, this work finally sought to understand the urban implications of the branding process, focusing on the impacts in the East End and more specifically in Hackney Wick promoted as the newest creative hub in London - exploring the tensions between the \'London brand\' and the \'really existing London\'.

La cohérence entre transport et aménagement s’est imposée comme une figure incontournable des politiques de mobilité et d’urbanisme durables. Dans ce contexte, le transport ferroviaire régional est identifié comme devant être l’armature du développement métropolitain, tandis que les abords des gares régionales sont vus comme des lieux privilégiés de densification urbaine. A partir d’une analyse croisée des processus à l’œuvre dans deux métropoles françaises (Toulouse et Nantes), ce travail met ces nouvelles normes de l’aménagement à l’épreuve des pratiques. Il s’appuie sur un important travail empirique, permettant de saisir la fabrique des politiques ferroviaires régionales et des politiques d’aménagement, à plusieurs échelles (métropolitaine, locale, micro-locale). Cette recherche explicite les enjeux spécifiques liés à la coordination des politiques d’urbanisme et de transport ferroviaire régional et met au jour les contraintes (institutionnelles, territoriales, politiques et matérielles) qui interviennent dans leur mise en œuvre. Notre approche révèle aussi des formes de changement des pratiques de l’action publique et de dépassement « par le bas » des logiques sectorielles. Ces changements résultent alors moins de l’énoncé d’une injonction à la cohérence que de la nécessité, pour les acteurs publics, de répondre à des problèmes concrets en fonction des ressources dont ils disposent. / The coherence between transportation and planning has impose itself as a key figure of sustainable mobility and urbanism policies. In this context, regional rail transport is introduced as the framework of metropolitan development while regional stations and their surroundings are seen as the privileged places of urban densification. Thanks to a cross-analysis of two French metropolitain areas (Toulouse and Nantes) this dissertation confronts those new planning norms and the practices. Based on an important empirical work, this study analyses the regional rail and planning policy making processes at several scales (metropolitan, local, micro-local). This thesis explains the specific issues at stake in the coordination of urbanism and regional rail transport policies and highlights the constraints (institutional, territorial, political and physical) on their implementation. This work also reveals changing practices in public action and a bottom-driven overcoming of sectorial segmentations. These changes are the results of the necessity for public actors to respond to concrete problems with the resources available to them, more than they are the result of the injunction of coherence.

O trabalho investiga os projetos elaborados para a construção da estância hidromineral do Barreiro, em Araxá, Minas Gerais, compreendendo o plano urbanístico feito sob a orientação do engenheiro Lincoln Continentino, os diversos edifícios que constituem tal complexo, propostos pelo escritório de Luiz Signorelli e por Francisco Bolonha, e o parque concebido por Roberto Burle-Marx. Estabelece paralelos entre essa estância e outros planos semelhantes no Brasil e no exterior, buscando reconhecer seus modelos e referências; bem como observar a inserção do Barreiro como um dos vários balneários construídos no país entre 1920 e 1950, período de introdução e adaptação de idéias urbanísticas internacionais e de debate entre a arquitetura eclética e a moderna no Brasil. / The work investigates the projects elaborated for the construction of Barreiro hidromineral resort, in Araxá, Minas Gerais, compreending the urban plan, prepaired under engeneer Lincoln Continentino’s supervision, the buildings that constitute such ensemble, proposed by Luiz Signorelli’s office team and by Francisco Bolonha, and the park, conceived by Roberto Burle Marx. The text makes some comparisons between this complex and other similar plans in Brazil and in foreign countries, in order to recognize its models and references and to observe Barreiro’s role as one of the several watering-places built in Brazil between 1920 and 1950, a period of introduction and adaptation of international urbanistic ideas and of debate between ecletic and modern architecture in Brazil.

Trata da obra do arquiteto italiano Giancarlo Palanti na Itália e no Brasil, resgatando sua trajetória, inserção e atuação no ambiente arquitetônico italiano do entre-guerras e brasileiro do final da década de 40 até meados da década de 70, localizando ainda sua importância e papel dentro de uma história da arquitetura moderna nestes dois países. Contribui também para a pesquisa dos arquitetos imigrantes, especialmente do período ligado aos acontecimentos da segunda guerra mundial e da investigação do trânsito das idéias entre Itália e Brasil. O trabalho identifica contribuições e especificidades na obra de Palanti em várias frentes: no desenho industrial, na arquitetura e no urbanismo, e numa produção marcada pelo trabalho em equipe. / This text deals about the work of italian architect Giancarlo Palanti in Italy and Brazil, gathering his paths, insertion and acting among italian between-wars and brazilian late forties to early seventies architectonical environment, also placing his importance into these countries\' modern architecture history. It is also important for the research on immigrant architects - mainly those related to post-war events - and for the investigation of cultural exchange between Italy and Brazil. It also identifies Giancarlo Palanti´s contributions and specificities on several aspects: industrial design, architecture and urbanism, and a career marked by team-made designs.

O trabalho insere-se no estudo das visões e presenças estrangeiras na cidade de São Paulo no período procurando localizar o campo teórico e conceitual que embasa as proposições urbanísticas formuladas acerca de seu processo de modernização, desenvolvimento e metropolização. O foco recai no paradigma introduzido por Louis-Joseph Lebret de \"Desenvolvimento Harmonizado\" a partir da atuação nos países considerados do \"Terceiro Mundo\", no segundo pós-guerra, considerando seus conteúdos de inovação do ponto de vista da abordagem da problemática urbana, bem como o peso que teria na redefinição do campo urbanístico em São Paulo. A pesquisa tem como recorte específico a atuação e presença de Lebret na cidade entre 1947 e 1958. / This dissertation is a contribution to the studies on the consolidation of urbanistic ideas in São Paulo related the presence of French a Dominican monk, Louis-Joseph Lebret, who came to the south east brazilian city during the 1950\'s. This work is part of a collective research on the presence and and views of foreigners in São Paulo during this period, a makes an effort to elucidate the theoretical and conceptual field at the base of urbanistic propositions related to the city development, modernization and metropolization. Our focus is the conceptual paradigm of \"harmonized development\" introduced by Lebret in so called \"third world\" countries after the second World War, considered in terms of its innovative approach of urban problems and of its role in the redefinition of the urbanistic field in São Paulo. The specific object of the analysis is the work Lebret developed in the city between 1947 and 1958.

O Urbanismo Ecológico surge como uma forma de reconciliar a paisagem com a ocupação urbana, pautado pelas potencialidades e limitações dos recursos naturais. As áreas verdes não exercem a função somente do embelezamento e da melhoria da qualidade visual e ambiental, elas se transformam em verdadeiros artefatos de engenharia e elementos de uma infraestrutura verde de alto desempenho. A arborização viária ganha força e escala ao conectar fragmentos de florestas urbanas e áreas verdes dispersas no tecido urbano. Os resultados da pesquisa mudam o olhar sobre a várzea dos rios. Renegadas na cidade contemporânea, no Urbanismo Ecológico, as planícies fluviais se tornam elementos estruturais e conectores da malha urbana e de grande valor. A tese parte da hipótese de que é possível implantar o Urbanismo Ecológico em São Paulo através da execução de um processo amplo e ferramentas que vão de políticas públicas, ações da iniciativa privada e envolvimento comunitário, tendo como consequência a melhoria da qualidade ambiental e de vida urbana. A pesquisa foca em Itaquera, bairro impactado pela implantação de grandes equipamentos urbanos pertencentes ao polo institucional e que abriga o novo estádio de futebol do clube Corinthians, para realização de jogos da Copa do Mundo de 2014. Através de levantamentos de campo, mapeamentos e análise de estudos de caso nos Estados Unidos e na África do Sul, identifica-se a clara oportunidade de transformação no entorno da arena a partir da aplicação de princípios ecológicos. Por fim, a pesquisa apresenta uma proposta de Urbanismo Ecológico para o entorno da Arena Corinthians, a partir de suas potencialidades locais, suas áreas verdes, sua hidrografia e a sua nova dinâmica decorrente de novos investimentos públicos e privados. / Ecological Urbanism has emerged as a way to reconcile the landscape with urban occupation, ruled by the potentialities and limitations of natural resources. Green áreas do not function only beautifying and improving the visual and environmental quality, they become true engineering artifacts and elements of a high performance green infrastructure. The street tree system gains strength and scale while connecting fragments of urban forests and green areas scattered in the urban fabric. The research results change the look on the river floodplains. Segregated in the contemporary city, under Ecological Urbanism principles, floodplains become structural elements and links of the urban fabric adding great value. The thesis presents the hypothesis that it is possible to implement the Ecological Urbanism in São Paulo through the implementation of a comprehensive process and tools ranging from public policies, private sector actions and community engagement resulting on the improvement of environmental quality and urban life. The research focuses on Itaquera neighborhood impacted by the implementation of large urban facilities part of an institutional hub and home to the new soccer stadium of Corinthians club that will host World Cup 2014 games. Through field surveys, mapping and analysis of case studies in the United States and in South Africa is possible to identify a clear opportunity for transformation in the vicinity of the arena based on ecological principles. At last, the research presents an Ecological Urbanism proposal for the surroundings of the Arena Corinthians taking advantage of its local potentiality, green areas, hydrograph and new dynamic as a result of new public and private investments.
