This book was released on 2012 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los ultimos sismos ocurridos en el sur del Peru, en Arequipa 23 de Junio del 2001, y en Pisco el 15 de Agosto del 2007, produjeron en las viviendas de los sectores mas pobres de la poblacion danos importantes como producto de la gran vulnerabilidad sismica estructural que presentan; ello ha generado problemas sociales como perdidas de vidas y perdidas materiales, que dejan una poblacion desguarnecida sin un techo que los acoja. El presente trabajo se basa en determinar el grado de vulnerabilidad sismica por el metodo del Indice de Vulnerabilidad de viviendas de sectores urbano marginales como el anexo de Coripata del distrito de Sabandia de la ciudad de Arequipa, a fin de establecer medidas de mitigacion que permitan disminuir la vulnerabilidad sismica, pudiendo asi evitar perdidas de vidas y materiales, contribuyendo de esta forma a mejorar el desarrollo sostenible de los sectores urbano marginales."

Book excerpt: RESUMEN Uno de los actuales retos sociales, no sólo de Colombia, si no de la comunidad mundial, es el bienestar y mejora de la condiciones de vida de todos los habitantes del planeta. Aunque suene ambicioso, esta tesis quiere contribuir a la mejora de las condiciones de vida de aquellas comunidades que se encuentran en el abandono y la pobreza absoluta. Colombia, país suramericano con una población de 42 millones de habitantes aproximadamente, presenta un alto déficit de vivienda económica en la mayor parte de su territorio. La construcción de casas de autoconstrucción e informales degrada aún más el problema social de la vivienda y no aporta soluciones apropiadas que dignifiquen la vida del ser humano. En la mayoría de las ocasiones, la vivienda informal de bajo costo carece de condiciones de calidad; ésta se suele construir en zonas marginales, sin acceso adecuado a los servicios básicos de agua y energía. Además, y no en pocos casos, su construcción se hace en zonas donde las amenazas naturales son considerables, en particular las que proceden de fenómenos sísmicos y geológicos. Este tipo de viviendas, también, en algunos casos se construyen sin considerar normativas sismo resistentes y sin especificaciones técnicas adecuadas, lo que las hace inseguras y de escasa confiabilidad. Todo ello repercute en un incremento del riesgo sísmico debido a la vulnerabilidad de estas precarias construcciones. No abundan estudios ni se realizan investigaciones que busquen soluciones idóneas, con materiales autóctonos de bajo costo, con tecnologías sostenibles, que doten a estos habitáculos de un buen desempeño estructural. En consecuencia, la creciente demanda de vivienda de bajo costo y la escasez de oferta en esta franja del mercado de la construcción promueven el crecimiento de ciudades con barrios de tugurios. Colombia es uno de los países de Hispanoamérica donde la pobreza, la densidad de población, la cercanía de entornos edificados a sistemas de fallas activas, las precar.

Book Synopsis Free University, Berlin by : Gabriel Feld
Download or read book Free University, Berlin written by Gabriel Feld and published by Exemplary Projects. This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Berlin Free University is an imagination of what a building might be - a building designed to function as a piece of the city, adapting to the needs of its users while generating opportunities for social interaction. The university offers a window onto the politicized and optimistic discourse of the Sixties and Seventies, but at the same time illuminates contemporary debates around large projects of infrastructure and public space. This extensive study of the building combines texts with a visual survey containing specifically commissioned photographs as well as archive material, plans and construction details.
Book Synopsis Ordinary Places/Extraordinary Events by : Clara Irazábal
Download or read book Ordinary Places/Extraordinary Events written by Clara Irazábal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-01-17 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clara Irazábal and her contributors explore the urban history of some of Latin America’s great cities through studies of their public spaces and what has taken place there. The avenues and plazas of Mexico City, Havana, Santo Domingo, Caracas, Bogotaì, SaÞo Paulo, Lima, Santiago, and Buenos Aires have been the backdrop for extraordinary, history-making events. While some argue that public spaces are a prerequisite for the expression, representation and reinforcement of democracy, they can equally be used in the pursuit of totalitarianism. Indeed, public spaces, in both the past and present, have been the site for the contestation by ordinary people of various stances on democracy and citizenship. By exploring the use and meaning of public spaces in Latin American cities, this book sheds light on contemporary definitions of citizenship and democracy in the Americas.

Book Synopsis The New Acropolis Museum by : Bernard Tschumi Architects
Download or read book The New Acropolis Museum written by Bernard Tschumi Architects and published by Skira. This book was released on 2009 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive look at the eagerly anticipated New Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece, and the celebrated collection it houses. Marking the opening of the New Acropolis Museum, this book examines both its architecture and the archaeological treasures it was built to house. The building addresses the dramatic complexities of the collection and the site with minimalist simplicity by using three main materials--glass, stainless steel, and concrete. "There's no way at the beginning of the twenty-first century you can try to imitate even superficially the art of 2,500 years ago," Tschumi says. The "precision of the concept was really what counted." The book provides an in-depth look at the creation of the building, set only 280 meters from the Parthenon, as well as the restoration, preservation, and housing of its exhibits through over 200 photographs, drawings, and texts.

Book Synopsis Domesticating Democracy by : Susan Helen Ellison
Download or read book Domesticating Democracy written by Susan Helen Ellison and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Domesticating Democracy Susan Helen Ellison examines foreign-funded alternate dispute resolution (ADR) organizations that provide legal aid and conflict resolution to vulnerable citizens in El Alto, Bolivia. Advocates argue that these programs help residents cope with their interpersonal disputes and economic troubles while avoiding an overburdened legal system and cumbersome state bureaucracies. Ellison shows that ADR programs do more than that—they aim to change the ways Bolivians interact with the state and with global capitalism, making them into self-reliant citizens. ADR programs frequently encourage Bolivians to renounce confrontational expressions of discontent, turning away from courtrooms, physical violence, and street protest and coming to the negotiation table. Nevertheless, residents of El Alto find creative ways to take advantage of these micro-level resources while still seeking justice and a democratic system capable of redressing the structural violence and vulnerability that ADR fails to treat.

Book Synopsis Violent Environments by : Nancy Lee Peluso
Download or read book Violent Environments written by Nancy Lee Peluso and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do environmental problems and processes produce violence? Current U.S. policy about environmental conflict and scholarly work on environmental security assume direct causal links between population growth, resource scarcity, and violence. This belief, a staple of governmental decision-making during both Clinton administrations and widely held in the environmental security field, depends on particular assumptions about the nature of the state, the role of population growth, and the causes of environmental degradation.The conventional understanding of environmental security, and its assumptions about the relation between violence and the environment, are challenged and refuted in Violent Environments. Chapters by geographers, historians, anthropologists, and sociologists include accounts of ethnic war in Indonesia, petro-violence in Nigeria and Ecuador, wildlife conservation in Tanzania, and "friendly fire" at Russia's nuclear weapons sites. Violent Environments portrays violence as a site-specific phenomenon rooted in local histories and societies, yet connected to larger processes of material transformation and power relations. The authors argue that specific resource environments, including tropical forests and oil reserves, and environmental processes (such as deforestation, conservation, or resource abundance) are constituted by and in part constitute the political economy of access to and control over resources. Violent Environments demands new approaches to an international set of complex problems, powerfully arguing for deeper, more ethnographically informed analyses of the circumstances and processes that cause violence.
Download or read book Space Reader written by Michael Hensel and published by Wiley. This book was released on 2009-05-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Space Reader provides a highly pertinent and contemporary understanding of space for a new generation of students and architects. It espouses a definition of space that is heterogeneous (an object or system consisting of a diverse range of different items). An example of heterogeneous space, for instance, is Manhattan where complex and multiple social and technological conditions are overlaid. (This is to be contrasted with highly centralised and ordered Modernist cities.) With the onset of globalisation and the Web, heterogeneneous space, with its emphasis on differentiation, is more relevant to the contemporary condition, which encourages the mixing of space, than a much more static conception of Modernist space. This book foregrounds spatial issues and the potential of heterogeneous space through a threefold strategy: 1) Its compilation of seminal essays on the discourse of heterogeneous space. These are to include previously published key texts by Reyner Banham, Andrew Benjamin, Robin Evans, Jeff Kipnis and Henri Lefebvre, as well as new texts by important contemporary commentators, such as Mark Cousins, Werner Durth and Anthony Vidler. 2) By commenting on these seminal texts and drawing links between them. 3) By distilling from the first two efforts a contemporary outlook on a discourse of heterogeneous space that is of future significance.
