The purpouse of this thesis was finding the way to design new city hall of district Brno - Sever. It builds on a urban study from previous semesters. I have found the pattern for my concept in ancient public proto-democratic structures - agoras, phorums. By creating some sort of a district with various (not only city hall) programmes, we gain a diversified, living and vibrant public spaces, outdoors as well as indoors.

This paper identifies a range of elements and principles useful for the development of an urban theoretical architecture. Acceptance of nature as a design element and in particular the use of nature to bound nodes of high density development are explored. The use of fractal geometry to distribute the urban footprint upon the landscape is introduced along with a tacit development of methodology making the application of fractal geometry useful. Building height restrictions are suggested as usefull to create urban walls and maintain views for tall buildings. It is proposed that the basic unit of urban design and development is a high intensity urban cell. Elements crucial to the life of urban cells are identified. The importance of architectural character in developing the identity of urban space is reinforced and explored. / Master of Architecture

The purpose of this study was the development of an architectural methodology capable of re-establishing polycentric civitas in the City of Los Angeles. To establish a new civic design framework for the city of Los Angeles, research and analysis was conducted in many fields using several different methods. A review of literature pertaining to the historic establishment of civitas serves an analysis of the different forms of public space in Western civilization. An analysis of urbanism in Los Angeles was conducted using existing literature related to the topic, while an analysis of the neighborhood chosen as the site for the “execution” of the methodology was performed through first-hand research and field study. This information was then synthesized, producing a building program customized to the Miracle Mile in Los Angeles. The final stage of the study was the design of this new civic core. In the context of the Miracle Mile—defined by the presence of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art—the proposed civic core took the form of an artist commune. The study concludes that the re-establishment of polycentrism in Los Angeles, as a means for (re)discovering civitas, requires the development of several new alternative civic cores, dispersed throughout the urban fabric of the Los Angeles Basin. In order to effectively operate as sites of critical civic engagement, however, each core must be developed independently of the other, responding to specific micro-cultures. This study advocates choosing sites based on the presence of existing civic potentials. In this way, the alienating effects of tabula rasa city planning are avoided. The architectural project presented at the end of this study, should therefore be understood, not as an architectural prototype to be universally replicated across the city, but as a prototype for an architectural research method. In order to (re)discover civitas in Los Angeles, architects and urban planners must recognize the limitations of universal models and accept that the architectural spaces that define the civic realm must reflect the needs of the specific societies who will ultimately activate them.

The modernist polykatikia typology (translating to multi-dwelling) arose in Athens after the population boom of the 1960s. Now sixty years later, the demands of the city have changed. No longer is there a need to build houses for people, but a need to focus on the workplace. As economic turmoil is pressuring Greece towards larger, more efficient operations, the thesis seeks to signify the importance of micro-economies of informal Athens. Given that energy and vibrancy are defining characteristics of the city, it considers how the workplace can intersect with public space to create new relationships in Athens. By curating talent, people and expertise which already exist in Athens, the aim is to propose workplaces based on resource sharing within underutilized zones in the city: an urban gesture which re-imagines the city blocks of Athens as a system of micro-agoras.

Esta pesquisa investiga o jornalismo popular. No âmbito conceitual, busca elementos que ajudem na discussão e elucidação dessa categoria de jornalismo. Paralelamente à construção teórica do popular, levanta aspectos fundamentais dos jornais Agora São Paulo, Diário de São Paulo e Jornal da Tarde, tais como desempenho nas vendagens e possíveis contradições entre o que é proposto e efetivado. A escolha de tais veículos se justifica por serem considerados veículos populares por parte das empresas que os editam. Também são assim rotulados pelos institutos de pesquisa de opinião, agências de publicidade e jornaleiros. Nossos estudos levam-nos a crer que estes jornais só podem ser apontados como populares em virtude das faixas de consumidores às quais se destina. A presença popular começa e se encerra no ato da compra do exemplar. Em suas páginas, o discurso preponderante é o do poder, em suas diversas formas. O povo, quando aparece, é mero figurante muitas vezes, ridicularizado - no cenário cujos protagonistas são, quase inexoravelmente, os donos do poder. Desta forma, os veículos que poderiam e deveriam, segundo os princípios da ética profissional - ampliar os lugares discursivos historicamente destinados aos mais pobres, deixam de fazê-lo, reduzindo sua atuação ao âmbito do chamado jornalismo de serviço, a tradução contemporânea do jornalismo popular, tão vazia quanto a anterior, plena de apelo policial e sensual. O ponto de vista dos que sofrem as ações do Poder, suas idéias, vivências, lutas e crenças, continua longe dos jornais populares paulistanos. Até quando? / This research investigates the popular journalism. In the conceptual scope, it searchs elements that help in the quarrel and briefing of this category of journalism. Parallel to the theoretical construction of the popular one, it raises basic aspects of the periodicals Agora São Paulo, Diário de São Paulo and Jornal da Tarde, such as performance in the sales and possible contradictions between what it is considered and accomplished. The choice of such vehicles if justifies for being considered popular vehicles on the part of the companies who edit them. Also thus they are friction by the justinian codes of opinion research, advertising agencies and days laborer. Our studies take them to believe it that these periodicals alone can be pointed as popular in virtue of the bands of consumers to which if destines. The popular presence starts and if it locks up in the act of the purchase of the unit. In its pages, the preponderant speech is of the power, in its diverse forms. The people, when he appears, is mere an insignificant person - many times, maked a fool - in the scene whose protagonists are, mostly, the owners of the power. Of this form, the vehicles that could - and they would have, according to principles of the professional ethics - extend the discursivos places historical destined to poor, leave to make it, reducing its performance to the scope of the call service journalism, the translation contemporary of the popular journalism, so empty how much previous, the full one of I appeal sensual and policeman. The point of view of that they suffer the actions from the Power, its ideas, experiences, fights and beliefs, continues far from of paulistanos popular periodicals. Until when?

For that, Extra and Agora São Paulo newspapers were selected. These newspapers are published by two of the largest communication groups in the country (Globo and Folha), were born in print and represent the model of popular journalism based on service inaugurated in the later years 1990. Based on the concepts of popular journalism proposed by Márcia Franz Amaral and on-line journalism presented by Ramón Salaverría and João Canavilhas, the study initially discusses the importance of popular newspapers, their characteristics, the sensationalism that permeates the segment and the evolution of digital communication. The work brings an analysis of the homepages and social media Facebook and Twitter of the two newspapers, based on tools proposed by Marcos Palacios, and presents interviews with editors of the two media outlets to understand the editorial choices in the online environment and to know the impacts of the digital communication in the work of professionals in popular journalism. The results of the research indicate that Extra is at a more advanced stage of online journalism and has been using digital tools for journalistic production for a longer period of time. It offers multimedia and interactive content for its readers and has intense action in social networks. Agora has a production still focused on the printed platform and begins to crawl in the digital world. It presents a totally static site and its presence in social media is small. The two newspapers, however, keep present in the online medium the main news values of popular service journalism: entertainment, proximity and utility. The two vehicles are undergoing major transformation periods: Extra newsroom has been unified with O Globo newspaper, and Agora is preparing to launch a totally redesigned new website and to expand its activities in social media. The transformations bring new impacts to the two vehicles, which currently use different strategies in the digital environment. This work presents the performance of Extra and Agora in the online medium so far and the scenarios that each one lives in the moment, which should mean new modifications in each of them. / Esta pesquisa traz um estudo dos efeitos da comunicação digital no jornalismo popular praticado no Brasil. Para tanto foram escolhidos os jornais Extra e Agora São Paulo, publicações do segmento editadas por dois dos maiores grupos de comunicação do país (Globo e Folha), nascidos no meio impresso e que representam o modelo de jornalismo popular de serviços inaugurado no final dos anos 1990. A partir dos conceitos de jornalismo popular propostos por Márcia Franz Amaral e de jornalismo on-line apresentados por Ramón Salaverría e João Canavilhas, o trabalho faz inicialmente uma discussão sobre a importância dos jornais populares, suas características, o sensacionalismo que permeia o segmento e a evolução da comunicação digital. O trabalho traz uma análise das homepages e das redes sociais Facebook e Twitter dos dois jornais, com base em ferramentas propostas por Marcos Palacios, e apresenta entrevistas com editores dos dois veículos de comunicação para compreender as escolhas editoriais no meio on-line e conhecer os impactos da comunicação digital na atuação dos profissionais no jornalismo popular. Os resultados da pesquisa indicam que o Extra está em estágio mais avançado do jornalismo on-line e emprega há mais tempo e com mais propriedade ferramentas digitais para a produção jornalística. Oferece conteúdo multimídia e interativo para seus leitores e tem intensa atuação nas redes sociais. O Agora tem uma produção ainda voltada para a plataforma impressa e começa a engatinhar no mundo digital. Apresenta um site totalmente estático e sua presença nas redes sociais é pequena. Os dois jornais, no entanto, mantêm presentes no meio on-line os principais valores-notícia do jornalismo popular de serviços: entretenimento, proximidade e utilidade. Os dois veículos passam por períodos de transformação importantes: o Extra teve sua redação unificada com a do jornal O Globo, e o Agora se prepara para lançar um novo site totalmente reformulado e ampliar sua atuação nas redes sociais. As transformações trazem novos impactos aos dois veículos, que neste momento usam estratégias distintas no meio digital. Este trabalho apresenta a atuação de Extra e Agora no meio on-line até aqui e os cenários que cada um vive no momento, o que deverá significar novas modificações em cada um deles.
