Il y a plus d'un siècle, les conditions de travail ont fortement évolué sous l'influence de l'industrialisation et notamment à partir de nouvelles méthodes de travail du type Tayloriennes. Des bureaux ouverts à l'Action Office des années 50, c'est plus de 60% de la population active qui est concernée aujourd'hui en Europe. L'évolution des réglementations, liée à la prise de conscience collective des effets psychosomatiques des nuisances sonores, entraîne l'implication par les maîtrises d'ouvrages de bureaux d'études acoustiques pour la préconisation et la mise en œuvre dans la construction et la réhabilitation des espaces tertiaires. La rencontre d'acteurs scientifiques et industriels a donné lieu à ce travail de thèse, étudiant la propagation de l'énergie acoustique pour des espaces dont une des dimensions est différente des autres.La méthode se réduit à la conservation du tenseur énergie-impulsion puis à un système d'équations couplées sur l'intensité acoustique et sur la densité d'énergie. C'est un système hyperbolique d'équations linéaires aux dérivés partielles du premier ordre. Une méthode d'intégration sur une à deux dimensions de l'espace permet d'introduire les coefficients d'absorption et de diffusion moyens. Nous introduisons le potentiel d'intensité et nous écrivons le système sous la forme d'une équation hyperbolique linéaire aux dérivées partielles du second ordre impliquant la densité d'énergie, l'intensité acoustique ou le potentiel d'intensité sur une ou deux dimensions. Nous proposons une méthode analytique approchée permettant de vérifier les résultats à une dimension.Pour la conception acoustique des plateaux de bureaux, la modélisation informatique est un outil remarquable souffrant pourtant de limitations restreignant ses applications. Nous résolvons le formalisme introduit dans ce travail par la méthode des différences finies dans le domaine temporel sur une et deux dimensions. Les schémas utilisés sont stables et explicites et peu couteux en mémoires informatiques. Le fait que nous nous intéressions à une variable énergétique permet de considérer un pas de modélisation spatial important - de l'ordre du mètre - et d'accélérer d'autant les calculs.Le partenariat industriel nous a notamment permis d'accéder à des espaces de type plateaux de bureaux. Nous comparons les résultats des modélisations avec des mesures in situ conduites avec un microphone SoundField ST250 permettant l'estimation de la densité d'énergie et de l'intensité acoustique. / More than a century ago, working conditions have evolved under the influence of industrialization and especially of new management methods such as the Taylorism. From Open-Spaces to Action Offices in the 1950s, more than 60 % of the European working population is concerned today. The evolution of regulations, linked to the collective awareness of the psychosomatic effects of noise, has led clients to request the involvement of acoustical consultants for giving recommendations and supervising their implementation in constructions and rehabilitations of office spaces. This is why scientific and industrial stakeholders joined forces for this thesis dedicated to the propagation of sound energy within rooms characterized by one dimension different from the others.The method developed in this thesis reduces the conservation of the energy-stress tensor to a system of coupled equations for the sound intensity and the sound energy density. It is a hyperbolic system of linear, partial differential equations of first order. Integrating this system on one or two space dimensions leads to the introduction of the mean absorption and diffusion coefficients. We then introduce an intensity potential and write the system in the form of a linear hyperbolic equation involving partial derivatives of second order for the energy density, the sound intensity, or the intensity potential in one or two dimensions. We also propose an analytical approximated method to verify the results in one dimension.For the acoustic design of open-space offices, computer modelling is an outstanding tool. Yet limitations restrict its applications. We solve the equations introduced in this work by the finite-difference time-domain method in the one- and two-dimensional cases. We use stable and explicit schemes that require little computer memory. Considering energy variables allows the use of large spatial steps - of the order of the metre - and accelerates the calculations.The industrial partnership notably gave us access to open-space offices. We compare the results of the modelling with in situ measurements carried out with a SoundField ST250 microphone that makes it possible to estimate the sound energy density and the sound intensity.

In the north-western corner of inner-city Pretoria, South Africa, the business district of Marabastad stands as a prime example of the lack of humanised public space making in marginalised urban areas. Amidst the vibrant and spontaneous local community the open spaces in this urban landscape are left derelict and insufficient in providing for the needs of their users. In response to the obvious and unseen deficiencies of the area, this landscape architectural study aims to shape platforms of opportunity to support the struggling local community by building on existing social networks and, formal and informal, economical practices. The investigation and subsequent design of this dissertation are focussed around the making of an urban square that will encourage interaction between individuals as well as between the individual and his/her surroundings. / Dissertation (ML(Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Architecture / unrestricted

This thesis deals with the issue of health and safety at work and fire protection, focusing on the management system for the company UniCredit Bank Czech Republic and Slovakia a.s.

This project demonstrates the construction of a land planning geographic information system (GIS) for Tarrant County, and explores how the technology could be used to select sites for a county wide open space preservation plan. As Texas' Tarrant County continues to undergo rapid change due to growth and expansion, the need for proactive, resourceful community planning is greater than ever. One crucial issue facing the region is how to preserve open areas that serve the county's citizens' ecological, recreational, cultural and economic needs. In order to assess how much open space is needed and which sites should be considered for special attention, large amounts of varied spatial information must be analyzed. The answer to effectively dealing with such data sets is a geographic information system (GIS) that stores all pertinent data digitally and allows for its manipulation through use of a computer software package. This project demonstrates the construction of a land planning GIS for Tarrant County, and explores how the technology could be used to select sites for a county wide open space preservation plan.

This thesis has been prepared as urban study BVV in Brno. The project deals with the revitalization of the area, streamlining usage in the long run. The area is delimited to the northeast street Hlinka, southwest Street Bauer. The territory is located near the center of Brno, near the Mendel Square. It is directly connected to the ring road. The main objectives of the project are to restore its original luster campus, thanks to which Brno became known in the world - to create an international cultural and sports science node. Open to the public year-round resort and create new areas of specific housing related to the function of the complex.

The master's thesis deals with famous Notre-Dame de Paris, which was destroyed by fire in 2019. The work focuses specifically on the design of completion of the construction. The cathedral is situated in the historical centre of Paris on the Île de la Cité. A lot of damage was caused to the building after the devastating fire on 15 April 2019. The aim of the thesis was to create a spiritual place that would maintain its past, but at the same time manage to follow ecological solutions in the present. The new design of the attic creates a sacred place, in which we realize the importance of faith and the peace of God. The cathedral is open to the general public ? religious people from all over the world come here to experience the love, joy and happiness that the cathedral invokes. The whole attic can be described as an open space, which symbolizes infinity or immortality from the religious point of view. It represents the connection of the past, present and future. The space is designed to hold priestly celebrations and to be open for the public. It can also be used for various events, such as exhibitions of sculptures that survived the fire.

Kocúrová, Z.: The things we /do not/ need /Graduation Thesis/ Praha 2012 - Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Education, Department of Art Education. Supervisor M. Sedlák. The aim of the graduation thesis is the relation of human and space in the context of philosophy, psychology, social history, art and education. The theoretical part is focused on open and closed space, on their relationship to basic human needs as safeness and solidarity. Individuals apply isolation and control to defeat their fears. The means of open architecture are connected with these issues as well. The second part of my work concentrates on my art projects inspired by the mentioned concepts. My installations, actions and cycle of photographs is described. The third part is focused on applications of these topics in the art teaching. Key words: open space, closed space, fear, safeness, architecture, folding screen, bags, transparency, education.

Barn som samhällsgrupp tenderar att vara tämligen osynliga inom ramen för den fysiska planeringen. Därmed är syftet med denna studie att bidra med en ökad förståelse för hur barnperspektivet implementeras i den fysiska planeringen, men även undersöka hur förtätning påverkar barns utemiljöer, specifikt förskole- och skolgårdar. Detta eftersom det i täta stadsdelar föreligger en problematik gällande att allmänna ytor tas i anspråk för bebyggelse. Den empiri som ligger till grund för studien har samlats in genom kvalitativa intervjuer samt granskning av dokument, vilket sedan analyserats med hjälp av en tematisk analys. Genom den tematiska analysen har två huvudteman identifierats, integreringen av barnperspektivet i planprocessen och barns plats i den kompakta staden, som belyser det rådande klimatet i den kommunala fysiska planeringen utifrån de studerade fallen. Utifrån denna tematik, med stöd av tidigare forskning, har det kunnat påvisats att barnperspektivet inte implementeras i tillräckligt stor utsträckning. Detta eftersom det finns flertalet problematiska aspekter i arbetet med stadsutveckling, varav två är resursfrågan och intressekonflikter. / To begin with children can be seen as a rather invisible group within the work of spatial planning. Thus, the aim of this thesis is to contribute with an increased understanding regarding how the child perspective is implemented in spatial planning, but also investigate how outdoor environments for children are affected by densification, specifically preschool yards, and schoolyards. Densified areas tend to be problematic regarding the fact that land often tends to be limited, which results in public areas being claimed for buildings. The empirical basis that the study consists of is a thematic analysis, which is based on qualitative interviews and reviews of documents. Two main themes have been identified through the thematic analysis, these are integration of child perspective and children’s place in the compact city. Furthermore, this illustrates the current climate regarding municipal spatial planning based on the cases that have been studied. The findings in this thesis show that the child perspective is not being implemented to a sufficient extent. Reasons for this are that there are problematic aspects, such as resources and conflicts of interests, these aspects need to be dealt with regarding the implementation of child perspective in spatial planning.
