11	Proximity vertical agriculture at the Pretoria West Power Station Davey, Calayde Aenis 09 December 2010 (has links) The thesis addresses the proximity of contemporary global human issues to local human issues and presents an architectural solution. By identifying, exploring and drawing closer the proximities between these global and local issues, new solutions can be developed for local application. There are new fields created for architecture when we understand and connect the proximity of objects of both cultural and biophysical creation, and when we understand and build on our ever-narrowing proximities between what has been and what is to come. The narrowing global conditions have direct implications on us as individual human beings and our individual local societies. These proximities have been explored, developed, and resolved for local application. The resulting research field for urban agriculture ultimately guided an appropriate architectural response within the city of Pretoria, South Africa. / Dissertation (MArch(Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Architecture / unrestricted Vertical farm Vertical agriculture Pretoria west power station Bamboo Urban agriculture Industrial heritage Hydroponic food factory Adaptive re-use UCTD
12	The Farm : A new urban condition Arvidsson, Jesper January 2012 (has links) The Farm is a speculative proposal for a self sustainable city block where as much food is produces as is consumed by it’s inhabitants. It is utilising the potential that arise when the greenery of farming is brought in to the cities in creating a new hybrid that blends with the city fabric with the aim of contributing to the areas multiplicity and vibrant life. The aim of the project has been that through architecture design; study the possibility to go from a throughput society, where everything we consume is produced outside of the community, to a society that produces what it consumes within the community in a cyclical integrated sustainable way. Can we produce what we consume with in a city and what happens when the production, which in this case is the cultivation of crops and plants, merge with the existing city fabric? What happens if the cultivation is combined with a traditional apartment program and what does it become? Can the programs thrive together in symbiosis or will one of the programs become a parasite of the other? How does the vast open spaces required for farming relate to the small intimate spaces suitable for living spaces? What is their interrelationship, how do they effect each other?

13	Vodojemy - Brno, Žlutý kopec / Reservoirs - Brno, Zluty kopec (Yellow hill) Bařina, Štěpán Unknown Date (has links) This work deals with the elaboration of architectural and urban design of an area surrounding the historic water reservoirs in Brno – Tvrdého Street. The first part contains the urban design on the entire area, after that one specific building is processed in more detail in the form of an architectural study. The new use of the underground reservoirs is also a part of this project. The work is partly a continuation of older atelier work which was focused on an thorough analysis of the are and the possibilities of its development.
14	Materiální dějiny planetární urbanizace / Material history of planetary urbanization Šana, Václav Unknown Date (has links) The diploma thesis deals with the final urbanization of the planet term from a materialistic point of view. The distribution of freshwater, energy consumption and especially agricultural food production are the basic factors which, together with logistics and demography, form fundamental drivers of material history. The "Malthusian" fear of a situation where the world's population is running out of resources accompanies contemporary rhetoric. The aim of the work is to try to find and explore solutions to the material necessities of humanity and to design organizational principles, systems, urban and architectural solutions.
