Previous issue date: 2013 / Resumo: O objetivo da pesquisa é investigar a 'mutação urbana' que se desenvolve na cidade de Campinas/SP e suas implicações para a paisagem urbana. A urbanização de Campinas ocorreu de forma muito dispersa e potencializada pelos eixos rodoviários, conformando várias áreas que podem ser consideradas como 'mutações urbanas'. 'Mutação urbana' é um conceito que auxilia o entendimento das dinâmicas de formação da cidade contemporânea que vem se construindo através de formas e paisagens urbanas que são bastante distintas das encontradas até o século XX, pois refletem a atual dinâmica de formação do território, com a instituição de novos espaços que contrastam com a lógica de configuração do seu entorno e dos tecidos urbanos tradicionais. Os eixos rodoviários são a espinha dorsal para o funcionamento das 'mutações urbanas' e dos shopping centers, seu elemento catalisador mais comum. O foco do estudo se concentra no eixo da rodovia Dom Pedro I, que ostenta em suas margens locais que podem ser consideradas mutações urbanas. O método adotado é o estudo de caso de caráter exploratório e descritivo e as principais ferramentas utilizadas foram as imagens do pacote 'Google Maps' e fotografias urbanas do autor. Os resultados apontam que, no caso de Campinas, a 'mutação urbana' é um fenômeno em desenvolvimento, com seus focos de crescimento centrados nos três shopping centers Iguatemi, Galleria e Parque Dom Pedro. Sua estrutura espacial é conformada por treze tipologias de enclaves fortificados e por quarenta e cinco padrões morfológicos e paisagísticos. O trabalho conclui que a urbanização de Campinas através do desenvolvimento de mutações urbanas está fundamentada em um conjunto de tipologias e de padrões de características genéricas e desprovidos de qualidades estéticas e funcionais, impondo uma forma e uma paisagem urbana totalmente desvinculadas de valores civis, coletivos e urbanos. Os tecidos urbanos construídos são sustentados por elementos que privilegiam e enfatizam o espaço privado em detrimento ao público, com muros, guaritas e aparatos de segurança. Aponta, também, que há apenas uma maneira de lidar com a proliferação da 'mutação urbana', uma forma, paisagem e estilo de vida com os quais discordamos: é, primeiramente, fazer uma leitura cuidadosa e detalhada do seu ambiente construído, evidenciando seus padrões e tipologias recorrentes e fundamentais desta urbanização para dar suporte a uma crítica convincente de que é preciso mudar, para, num segundo momento, investigar e propor alternativas para esse modelo / Abstract: The objective of this research paper is to investigate the 'urban mutation' that is developing in the city of Campinas/SP and its implication on the urban landscape. The urbanization of Campinas was very dispersed and potentialized by the highways, resulting in several areas that can be considered as 'urban mutations'. 'Urban mutation' is a concept that helps to understand the contemporary city formation dynamics which has been taking shape through forms and landscapes that are quite distinct from those found until the twentieth century. They reflect the current territory formation with the institution of new spaces that contrast with the logical configuration of its surrounding and the traditional urban tissues. The freeways are the backbone for 'urban mutation' operation and for shopping centers, its most common catalyst. The study focuses on the axis of Dom Pedro I highway which boasts on its borders sites that may be considered as 'urban mutation'. The method adopted is the exploratory and descriptive case study and the main tools used were pictures of the 'Google Maps' package and urban photographs of the author. In Campinas, the results show that the 'urban mutation' is a phenomenon that is in development and its growth focus is centered in three shopping centers: Iguatemi, Galleria and Parque Dom Pedro. Its spatial structure is made up of thirteen typologies of fortified enclaves and forty-five morphological and landscape patterns. The study concludes that the urbanization of Campinas through the development of 'urban mutations' is based on a set of typologies and patterns which generic attributes and devoid of aesthetic and functional qualities, imposing a form and a cityscape totally unrelated to civil, collective and urban values. The urban tissues built are supported by elements that privilege and emphasize private spaces in detriment of public spaces, with walls, guard cabins and security apparatuses. It also indicates that there is only one way to deal with the 'urban mutation' proliferation, in other words, to deal with a form, landscape and lifestyle with which we disagree: firstly, it is to make a careful and detailed investigation of its built environment to evidence its fundamental and recurring patterns and typologies to support a persuasive critique of the need of change and, after that, investigate and propose alternatives to this model / Mestrado / Arquitetura, Tecnologia e Cidade / Mestre em Arquitetura, Tecnologia e Cidade

Exploring the Role of the Artifact: An Evolution of Form, Function and Memory in the Urban LandscapeBurg, Joel G. 20 June 2013 (has links)
The urban landscape is a diverse environment that is constantly evolving. Such change does not remove and replace all of the remnants of the city\'s past, however, and the remaining artifacts become key pieces of local identity as a result of their persistence. Even so, artifacts are also complex entities and their definition and value can be drastically different given the context in which they exist. Nonetheless, artifacts can be broadly understood as interactive elements in the urban landscape that become enmeshed in their surrounding community, and serve a vital role as a result. This enquiry examines that role of artifacts in the urban landscape and seeks to uncover how such a role can inform effective design practice into the future. / Master of Landscape Architecture

Urban FishfarmLundmark, Matilda January 2015 (has links)
Storstaden är idag människans kanske mest naturliga miljö. Det är där de flesta av oss bor, lever och konsumerar en stor mängd mat. I det här projektet har jag använt mig av mat som ett redskap i min designprocess och skapat en fiskodling mitt på Skeppsbron. Jag har undersökt hur en fiskmarknad i Gamla stan skulle kunna utnyttja de befintliga resurserna på platsen och ritat en miljö där människan lever i symbios med naturen. En flexibel arkitektur som är formad utefter landskapets unika struktur och som förändras parallellt med det växlande vattenrummet. Stockholms karaktäristiska vatten kopplar ihop staden med Östersjön i öst och långt i landet i väst. För att utnyttja platsens fulla potential har marknaden ett antal flyttbara element som kan transporteras med båt mellan olika kajplatser. Dessa element består av olika typer av fiskodlingspooler som renas med hjälp av akvaponi (odling) och byggnadens biogasanläggning. Detta genererar i sin tur energi som värmer upp poolerna och förser byggnaden med elektricitet. Tillsammans utgör dessa element ett unikt landskap där människan kommer i kontakt med vattnet, djurlivet och naturligtvis maten. / Investigating the the Urban Fishfarm Today, the city might be our most natural environment. This is where most of us live and consume a large amount of food. In this project, I have used food as a designtool and created a fish farm in the middle of Stockholm City. I have examined how a fish market in the old town could use the existing resources on site and designed an environment where people could live in symbiosis with nature. A flexible architecture that could grow och change in time. Stockholm water connects the city with the Baltic Sea in the east, and far into the country in the west. In order to utilize the site's full potential, the market has a number of movable elements that can be transported by sea between different quays. These elements consist of a number of fish farming pools which are purified by akvaponi (farming).

Revitalizace Technického muzea v Brně / Revitalization of Technical Museum BrnoKinnert, Filip January 2017 (has links)
Museum is firstly a public building in the city. Although, most of the work of collection, conservation and restauration is being done behind a closed door, with the museum's significance and location it has a great importance by co-creating the city environment. Reviving of our defined project area is potentially a big step for reviving the whole suburb. Technical museum of Brno has relatively good position nearby the Technology park, but currently not using much of the potential. This project adsresses these posibilities and propose a urban solution for enrichment of the museum to become a full-blown place IN THE CITY, a place for meeting, passing through and stopping by.

Urban Mappings: Eight photographic depictions of the Bradford Landscape for the Bradford Grid Exhibition.Allen, Patrick T. January 2006 (has links)
No / This output represents Allen's contribution to the Bradford Grid exhibition at Bradford Gallery 2 (30 July - 03 September 2006). Bradford Grid is a project sponsored by the Arts Council for England (ACE) and aims to find innovative ways of documenting photographically Bradford's rapidly changing urban landscape. The physical outputs here represent the catalogue for that exhibition and an early version of a book produced by the project. Allen's work is documented in both. All of the previous ouputs rest on the representation of space at different levels of granularity. At the very baseline it is only through the visual representation of space itself that informed judgements can be made about the representation of space, whether this is descriptive or performative in nature. Therefore, practice-based approaches to the representation of space - through photography and digital imaging ¿ are an integral and necessary aspect to this researcher¿s way of working and constitute a central part of his output. The exhibition work represented in this output is part of a significant archive documenting the visual and spatial aspects of the urban environment. This work, as a creative manifestation of the researcher¿s output, is by its very nature multimodal and is both a contribution to the analysis of urban space from a distinctly multimodal perspective; it is also a departure away from it. Whilst the visual analysis of urban space fits very neatly into the multimodal perspective it is also something of an innovation in terms of the use of digital technologies in recording an ever increasingly technologized urban landscape. The longitudinal nature of this work means that transformations in the urban environment can be recorded and analysed and ultimately fed into an approach to the built environment as a visual and multimodal text. / Arts Council for England (ACE)

Understanding the Influence of Banded Mongoose (Mungos mungo) Social Structuring on Disease Transmission Using Molecular ToolsVerble, Kelton Mychael 04 February 2019 (has links)
Understanding the disease transmission dynamics in wildlife species can be difficult and can prove more complicated if the population structure of a socially living species is shaped by territoriality. Understanding the connections and movements of individuals between groups is vital to documenting how a disease may be spread. The presence of a heterogeneous landscape can further complicate attempts to describe transmission of an infectious disease. Here, I sought to understand how dispersal patterns of individual banded mongooses (Mungos mungo) could potentially influence disease transmission. Banded mongooses are small fossorial mammals that live in social groups ranging from 5 to 75 individuals and defend their territories against rival troops. The focal population of mongooses for this study lives across a complex environment in the Chobe district of northern Botswana and is faced with a novel strain of tuberculosis, Mycobacterium mungi. To infer genetic structure and individual movements between troops, I utilized microsatellite genetic markers and population genetic analyses.
I found moderately strong genetic structuring (FST = 0.086) among 12 troops of banded mongooses in the study area in 2017-18. The best supported number of genetic clusters was K = 7, with a considerable amount of admixture between troops in urban areas. Compared to the average pairwise differentiation values of troops residing in natural habitats (FST = 0.102), urban troops had a lower level of differentiation (FST = 0.081), which suggests more gene flow between these troops. Among 168 mongooses genotyped, 20 were identified as being likely dispersers, with the majority moving across anthropogenic environments, suggesting that dispersal is heightened in urbanized areas.
To assess whether temporal variation had an effect on genetic structure and gene flow between troops, I compared population genetic results from 5 troops in 2008 to those from the same 5 troops in 2017. Genetic differentiation was lower between troops living in urban environments than in natural environments for both 2008 and 2017. This result suggests higher gene flow across the anthropogenic landscapes at both times steps. The overall genetic structuring of the troops persisted over almost a decade, with the exception of observing more mixture and admixture in 2017 than in 2008. The effective population sizes (Ne) of troops were larger in 2008, which would indicate that genetic variability declined as time progressed. For 11 individuals confirmed to have M. mungi, an assignment test suggested that 3 mongooses were likely dispersers. This finding would contradict that of previous work, which suggested that sick banded mongooses refrained from dispersing. Sequencing of the M. mungi strains would be needed to determine whether these dispersers moved while sick or became infected after entering their new troop.
These findings suggest that emphasis should be placed on closely monitoring banded mongoose troops in areas with heavy human influence. Here we see lower pairwise differentiation, higher gene flow estimates, and more frequent dispersal events. Heightened dispersal potentially can result in elevated disease transmission between troops in urban habitats. With disease transmission being the result of complex interactions between environment, host, pathogen, and time, results from this study contribute to understanding of disease transmission dynamics. / MS / Understanding how groups of the same species are connected is important for assessing how wildlife diseases spread across a landscape. For social species, connections are established by the movements of individuals between different groups; however, these can prove difficult to observe. Further complicating our ability to infer connections and movements, groups often live under different environmental conditions, which can influence movement rates.
I studied banded mongooses (Mungos mungo) living in northern Botswana to assess the role of individual movement on the potential for disease transmission. Banded mongooses are small ground-dwelling mammals that live in troops of 5-75 individuals and defend group home-ranges. In Botswana, some troops are infected with a species of tuberculosis (TB, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium mungi) that is unique to banded mongooses. Using molecular genetic tools, I estimated how genetically similar troops were to one other and estimated the rates of movement of individuals between troops. I found that troops living in urban environments tended to be more genetically similar to one other compared to troops living in natural environments within nearby Chobe National Park. I also detected more cases of individuals moving between troops in urban settings, with little evidence of movement between troops living in natural areas. These results suggest that there is more genetic exchange and a higher degree of connection between troops living in areas heavily influenced by people. With more connections between town-dwelling troops, we would expect to see higher rates of disease transmission between these urban troops, and hence should monitor their movement and health status closely.
I also assessed how genetic structure and connections between banded mongoose troops changed over time by comparing results for collections of samples made in 2008 and 2017. Although more movement was detected in 2017, the overall pattern of genetic connections remained similar over the ten-year period. In particular, there was greater genetic similarity between troops in town compared to troops in natural environments in both years. Additionally, I genetically assigned TB-positive individual mongooses to their troop of origin to determine whether sick individuals moved out of their original troops. I identified three sick individuals as probable dispersers, although it is difficult with the information available to know whether they moved while infected or became ill after joining a new troop.
