1	The Future of Historical and Cultural Area Zhang, Minye January 2020 (has links) In the rapid development of urbanization, there are some people have been forgotten. They have to make a compromise to such urbanization. While witnessing their cities becoming better and better, some of the local residents are forced to move to the suburbs. There are many historical urban areas in my home town in the process of gentrification and demographic reconstructuring. The top-down reform always starts with a large scale demolition. I am really interested in finding another way to revitalize urban area apart from a large scale demolition, I try to explore and practice the urban acupuncture which means just propose the local construction design for the urban problems that need to be solved. With more and more partical designs, a large area would be influenced gradually, so as to activate the vitality of communities and even the whole city. This project started with reorganizing the courtyards in the historical area to improve the lilfe quality and revitalize the quarter step by step. Urban Acupuncture Architecture Arkitektur

3	Urban Dark Acupuncture for Darkness: Value of Darkness in Pedestrian Experience of Sudirman Street, Jakarta Amilawangi, Dane January 2020 (has links) As much as we thought about artificial lighting in planning of our urban nightscape, it is necessary to balance it with consideration regarding darkness. In response to the problems caused by artificial lighting; such as light pollution and disruption to human circadian rhythm, darkness should be seen as a value that brings balance for the environment. There are nine values of darkness in urban illumination; efficiency, sustainable, ecology, healthiness, happiness, connects to nature, stellar visibility, heritage & tradition, wonder & beauty (Stone, 2019). In Designing for Darkness, Stone (2019) described three concepts to bring darkness into urban illumination design; Incremental Darkening, Environmentally Responsive Lighting, and Urban (Dark) Acupuncture. Urban Acupuncture is an effort to revitalize area and its surroundings through intervention in the strategic key point. (Leiner, 2014). In terms of urban lighting, the concept of Urban (Dark) Acupuncture described as an attempt to accentuate a strategic location in a city with darkness (Stone, 2019). This master thesis aims to apply the Urban (Dark) Acupuncture concept into a conceptual lighting design proposal for Sudirman Street, Jakarta. Functioned as a Central Business District of Jakarta, Sudirman Street is considered as a strategic key point for the intervention. The design proposal will be focusing on pedestrian facility of the street, and final result will be evaluated by the user.

5	Made in Grønland : How can a designer facilitate the activation of a community in the face of top-down regeneration? / Tillverkad i Grønland : Hur kan en designer underlätta aktiveringen av en samfund i anseende av topstyrd nydaning? Miller, Rebecca January 2016 (has links) Cities are highly unequal systems and rapid, top-down development is increasingly causing segregation between people of different socio-economic statuses through gentrification. In response, a bottom-up, more community centred approach is often proposed, yet this method also not without significant issues. In this thesis I investigate the role of the designer as a mediator, facilitator and translator between the top-down and bottom-up approaches to urban development. Using Grønland, Oslo as a case study, I start by gathering high-level research in order to understand the large-scale strategies that the municipality and private developers have for the area. In the second section, I undertake on-the-ground research in order to understand the everyday issues that people who live in, or use, the area face. In the final section I propose a research laboratory and makerspace that can activate the local community, providing the resources in order for everyday people to be able to have a positive impact on their city, in addition to gathering long-term, in-depth research on the area in order to influence the future of Grønland. This thesis is written as a working document that can, and should, be used by a wide range of people, from the municipality to local residents, and is designed to be added to as the project develops. urbanism urban design architecture designer Oslo Grønland public space public realm physical infrastructure social infrastructure regeneration gentrification displacement top-down bottom-up community participation inequality segregation informality identity urban acupuncture everyday urbanism active research research lab maker space DIY Architecture Arkitektur
