Book Synopsis La humanización del espacio urbano by : Jan Gehl
Download or read book La humanización del espacio urbano written by Jan Gehl and published by Reverte. This book was released on 2006 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro analiza por qué el uso del automóvil deteriora la calidad urbana; por qué los edificios residenciales altos son inconvenientes; qué hace que una calle sea atractiva para caminar, por qué en una ciudad sana los espacios públicos, y no los centros comerciales, son el lugar de encuentro; cuántos bancos debe haber en un espacio público y cómo se deben situar. El autor se adentra en temas tan fascinantes como el de los bordes, y por qué preferimos estar en el borde de una plaza y no en medio de ella. El trabajo del autor es profundamente humano; explora las necesidades que tenemos los seres humanos más allá de la supervivencia. ¿Qué necesitamos los seres humanos para nuestra realización más plena?. Necesitamos, por ejemplo, caminar, ver gente, estar con gente. Y la ciudad debe tener características que propicien ese contacto con otros. Una ciudad es sólo un medio para una manera de vivir; lo que propone este libro es una mejor manera de vivir, una manera más feliz de vivir. Este libro es un mensaje para los arquitectos y les recuerda que su propósito no es ganar premios, sino enaltecer lo humano. Aunque sea hermoso -y debe serlo- lo que diseñan es para ser vivido, no para ser evaluado por los críticos de arte. En la ciudad bien diseñada, la estrella es el ciudadano común y no el arquitecto fulgurante.
Book Synopsis Guía básica para el diseño de espacios públicos urbanos by : Andrés Martínez
Download or read book Guía básica para el diseño de espacios públicos urbanos written by Andrés Martínez and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Colegio Territorial de Arquitectos de Valencia publica una colección denominada 'Manuales de Urbanismoö (lo cual en estos tiempos que corren es bastante meritorio) que cuenta con algunos títulos interesantes y que deberían tener una difusión más importante que la puramente local entre sus colegiados. A pesar de que el urbanismo y el planeamiento urbanístico han ido tomando derroteros aparentemente divergentes en las distintas comunidades autónomas por los avatares propios de nuestra Constitución, y que pudiera parecer que lo aplicable en este ámbito en Valencia no lo es en Extremadura, sin embargo existen temas que sobrepasan las fronteras, no sólo entre Comunidades sino entre países o, incluso, entre continentes. Es comprensible que títulos como Guía básica para la redacción de estudios de detalle en el ámbito local de la Comunidad Valenciana o Guía básica para la redacción y gestión del proyecto de reparcelación (dos de los últimos publicados) no pretendan una difusión muy amplia ya que tratan temas locales. Aún así tienen bastante interés para los profesionales y, sobre todo los estudiosos, de otros sitios. Sin embargo, el libro que comento hoy, Guía básica para el diseño de espacios públicos urbanos. Criterios y recomendaciones, de Andrés Martínez, entiendo que tiene un interés que rebasa el ámbito del Colegio Territorial de Arquitectos de Valencia.Para aquellos que estamos en este mundo del urbanismo es de sobra conocida la publicación titulada Guía de diseño urbano de la que son autores Martínez Sarandeses, Herrero y Medina, publicada por el Ministerio de Fomento en el año 1999 y que sirvió de manual de diseño urbano en diferentes escuelas de arquitectura españolas (por cierto, heredera de otra publicada por el MOPU en 1990). Pudiera parecer que esta otra Guía de Andrés Martínez iba a ser una especie de revival de la anterior. Nada más lejos de la realidad. Por supuesto que le debe muchas cosas (al fin y al cabo Andrés Martínez no sólo es hijo sino también discípulo de José Martínez Sarandeses) pero se diferencia de forma bastante notoria. El propio Andrés lo explica en la 'Introducciónö cuando habla de que la situación en estos últimos diez años ha cambiado de forma notable y ha establecido nuevos retos y prioridades. En concreto habla de dos. La primera es la del funcionamiento en red de los espacios libres, singularmente de los llamados 'verdesö, y la segunda la consideración disciplinar del proyecto del espacio público como un elemento singular y diferenciado. Aunque la segunda podría ser discutible, por lo menos su novedad o su consideración prioritaria, la primera es bastante clara. Y no afecta sólo a este país sino que, en general, es un clamor europeo (en estos momentos estoy codirigiendo con un profesor de la universidad de Palermo un tesis doctoral que trata precisamente de este tema en Italia y España en el contexto de la Unión Europea).La Guía tiene una estructura clara y práctica.

Book Synopsis Public Spaces and Urbanity: Construction and Design Manual by : Karsten Pålsson
Download or read book Public Spaces and Urbanity: Construction and Design Manual written by Karsten Pålsson and published by Dom Publishers. This book was released on 2017 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking examples from major European cities, 'Public Spaces and Urbanity' is a practical guide demonstrating what urban development with a human face might look like. This involves renewing and enhancing humane cities using architecture on a human scale while taking their history into account. Thus the book follows the tradition established by Jan Gehl that regards urban space as a framework for people to live in and socialise. The European tradition of the dense classical city marks the point of departure for this book. Special emphasis is placed on physical and spatial parameters, on development patterns and building types, on the guiding principles governing access, and on interconnections with public roads and pathways --all of which form the foundations of urban life as well as cities that provide safety and security. The book is divided into ten thematic chapters, each providing a definition and general outline of core challenges together with proposals for meeting them. An historical outline of urban development and the practically organised thematic structure underlying concepts discussed allow the examples given to greatly broaden the field of understanding around this topic.

Book Synopsis Construction and Building Research by : Carmen Llinares-Millán
Download or read book Construction and Building Research written by Carmen Llinares-Millán and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-01-31 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many areas of knowledge converge in the building industry and therefore research in this field necessarily involves an interdisciplinary approach. Effective research requires strong relation between a broad variety of scientific and technological domains and more conventional construction or craft processes, while also considering advanced management processes, where all the main actors permanently interact. This publication takes an interdisciplinary approach grouping various studies on the building industry chosen from among the works presented for the 2nd International Conference on Construction and Building Research. The papers examine aspects of materials and building systems; construction technology; energy and sustainability; construction management; heritage, refurbishment and conservation. The information contained within these pages may be of interest to researchers and practitioners in construction and building activities from the academic sphere, as well as public and private sectors.

Book Synopsis Medellín: environment urbanism society by : Michel Hermelin Arbaux
Download or read book Medellín: environment urbanism society written by Michel Hermelin Arbaux and published by Universidad EAFIT. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent times what has become known as "the case of Medellín " has generated a growing interest in the international community. These urban transformation that Medellín has experimented have become a focus of attention and reference for experts in many fields, around the world. The book ́Medellin: Environment, Urbanism and Society ́, that now published the Center for Urban and Environmental Studies, Urbam, of EAFIT University is a testimony of the value given by our culture to the accomplishments of the city, to the idea of the public sphere and the growing relationship between the technical sphere and the political sphere, understood in the broad sense as a form of disciplinary knowledge and construction of civil society. This book brings together a knowledge of the city from multiple perspectives; knowledge that is, without any doubt, impressive for its extension and profoundity, as well as for its capacity to combine objective data with conceptual reflections about the scope and impact of the different perspectives concerning the theme of urban transformation and the different actors that have participated in such processes. The book weaves a broad net over the city, its history and development, adopting a multidisciplinary vision. I think that this will be the first step in creating a speech that might finally liberate itself from the strict disciplinary boundaries, building a trans-disciplinary perspective that can amplify the urban dimension of the city. This is the beginning of a profound and complex reflection that is, at the same time, a project of knowledge and an instrument of action and participation.
Book Synopsis Glosario Del Banco Mundial by : World Bank
Download or read book Glosario Del Banco Mundial written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1996 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

Book Synopsis Architecture Against the Post-Political by : Nadir Lahiji
Download or read book Architecture Against the Post-Political written by Nadir Lahiji and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-23 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a team of renowned contributors and carefully edited to address the themes laid out by the editors in their introduction, the book includes theoretical issues concerning the questions of aesthetics and politics and addresses city and urban strategies within the general critique of the "post-political". By focusing on specific case studies from Warsaw, Barcelona, Dubai, Tokyo and many more the book consolidates the contributions of a diverse group of academics, architects and critics from Europe, the Middle East and America. This collection fills the gap in the existing literature on the relation between politics and aesthetics, and its implications for the theoretical discourse of architecture today. In summary, this book provides a response to the predominant de-politicization in academic discourse and is an attempt to re-claim the abandoned critical project in architecture.
Book Synopsis The North American Mosaic by : Commission for Environmental Cooperation (Montréal, Québec). Secretariat
Download or read book The North American Mosaic written by Commission for Environmental Cooperation (Montréal, Québec). Secretariat and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.
Book Synopsis Benchmarking Water Services by : Enrique Cabrera Jr
Download or read book Benchmarking Water Services written by Enrique Cabrera Jr and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benchmarking has become a key tool in the water industry to promote and achieve performance targets for utilities. The use of this tool for performance improvement through systematic search and adaptation of leading practices, has expanded globally during the past decade. Many ongoing projects worldwide aim to address different needs and objectives, in varying contexts, with outstanding results and impact. Benchmarking Water Services provides valuable information to everyone interested in benchmarking in the water industry. The text is aimed at utilities considering joining a benchmarking project, experienced practitioners in charge of organizing a benchmarking exercise, consultants, regulators and researchers. The document is presented with a clear practice oriented approach and can be used as a how-to-benchmark guide presented from different perspectives (participants, organizers, supervising bodies). Readers will gain practical insight on real life benchmarking practices and will benefit from the experiences gained in some of the leading benchmarking projects of the water industry (including the IWA-WSAA benchmarking efforts, the European Benchmarking Co-operation and the several benchmarking projects carried out in Austria and Central Europe). The manual also presents the new IWA Benchmarking Framework, which aims to harmonize the terms used to describe benchmarking and performance indicators practices in the water industry, guaranteeing a more fluent and efficient communication. This Manual of Best Practice is edited by the IWA Specialist Group on Benchmarking and Performance Assessment, and co-published by AWWA and IWA Publishing. Praise for Benchmarking Water Services: "The continual trend of conceptual to specifics throughout the book provides for an educational experience each time the book is either casually perused or carefully studied." "The authors (Cabrera, Haskins and Fritiz) diligently pursue the focus of improvement." "Benchmarking Water Services is an in depth and practical ‘must have’ guide for any utility currently engaged in or planning to develop a benchmarking process" - Gregory M. Baird (2012) Benchmarking: An International Journal 19:2.

Book Synopsis The History of Water Management in the Iberian Peninsula by : Ana Duarte Rodrigues
Download or read book The History of Water Management in the Iberian Peninsula written by Ana Duarte Rodrigues and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-18 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume approaches the history of water in the Iberian Peninsula in a novel way, by linking it to the ongoing international debate on water crisis and solutions to overcome the lack of water in the Mediterranean. What water devices were found? What were the models for these devices? How were they distributed in the villas and monastic enclosures? What impact did hydraulic theoretical knowledge have on these water systems, and how could these systems impact on hydraulic technology? Guided by these questions, this book covers the history of water in the most significant cities, the role of water in landscape transformation, the irrigation systems and water devices in gardens and villas, and, lastly, the theoretical and educational background on water management and hydraulics in the Iberian Peninsula between the sixteenth and the nineteenth centuries. Historiography on water management in the territory that is today Spain has highlighted the region’s role as a mediator between the Islamic masters of water and the Christian world. The history of water in Portugal is less known, and it has been taken for granted that is similar to its neighbour. This book compares two countries that have the same historical roots and, therefore, many similar stories, but at the same time, offers insights into particular aspects of each country. It is recommended for scholars and researchers interested in any field of history of the early modern period and of the nineteenth century, as well as general readers interested in studies on the Iberian Peninsula, since it was the role model for many settlements in South America, Asia and Africa.
