Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Design of Residential Areas: Basic Considerations, Principles, and Methods F all things that contribute to the welfare Of society, none is more important than the good quality Of the homes in which people live. This does not mean that welfare depends solely on houses being strong enough to provide shelter against the elements, but also that they shall be agreeable enough in their environment to give reasonable satisfaction to other human wants. The design of homes, together with their location, approaches, and surroundings, in well-arranged groups and neighborhoods, is one of the most important branches of the art Of city planning. What are the basic considerations underlying this art that apply to residential areas? What are the principles involved in its application? And what are the methods we Should employ so as to Obtain the highest degree of health, comfort, convenience, and beauty consistent with true economy? These are questions which I shall endeavor to answer in the following pages. The difficulties Of discovering answers are the very reasons for making this investigation, assigned to me by the Harvard School Of City Planning. True, it covers ground which has already been tilled and harrowed, but which needs much more cultivation in two directions. In the first place, the root causes of the weedy growth that commonly spoils the urban scene have not been fully unearthed. We need to plow deeper if we are to bring them to the surface. In the second place, the absence of any sure guidance in matters of principle and methods of design with specific reference to residential areas makes it desirable to try to see whether some such sure and definite guidance cannot be given.

Download or read book Architecture for Residential Care and Ageing Communities written by Sten Gromark and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-19 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architecture for Residential Care and Ageing Communities confronts urgent architectural design challenges within residential innovation, ageing communities and healthcare environments. The increasing and diversified demands on the housing market today call for alterability and adaptability in long term solutions for new integrated ways of residing. Meanwhile, an accentuated ageing society requires new residential ways of living, combining dignity, independence and appropriate care. Concurrently, profound changes in technical conditions for home healthcare require rethinking healing environments. This edited collection explores the dynamics between these integrated architectural and caring developments and intends to envision reconfigured environmental design patterns that can significantly enhance new forms of welfare and ultimately, an improved quality of life. This book identifies, presents, and articulates new qualities in designs, in caring processes, and healing atmospheres, thereby providing operational knowledge developed in close collaboration with academics, actors and stakeholders in architecture, design, and healthcare. This is an ideal read for those interested in health promotive situations of dwelling, ageing and caring.

Download or read book Design Out Crime written by Ian Colquhoun and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-03-14 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a book about the practical design of communities and housing in which people can enjoy a good quality of life, free from crime and fear of crime. Recognising that crime, vandalism and anti-social behaviour are issues of high public concern, and that the driving forces behind crime are numerous, this book argues that good design can help tackle many of these issues. It shows how, through integrating simple crime prevention principles in the design process, it is possible, almost without notice, to make residential environments much safer. Written from the perspective of an architect and town planner, this book offers practical design guidelines through a set of accessible case studies drawn from the UK, USA, The Netherlands and Scandinavia. Each example illustrates how success comes when design solutions reflect local characteristics and where communities are truly sustainable; where residents feel they belong, and where crime is dealt with as part of the bigger picture of urban design.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Residents look at their neighborhood differently than visitors and designers do. The features that they see as most important can differ significantly, so that spaces that are viewed as successful by designers may be disliked by residents. Designers who hope to create successful residential environments can benefit from a more complete understanding of the residents' perspective and their priorities. This residents-eye-view is especially critical in troubled neighborhoods. Brower compares the responses to the same environment by residents, tourists, and designers. Using observations, interviews, innovative survey methods, and an examination of the literature, he details accepted norms that govern who uses and controls neighborhood spaces, children's play networks, neighboring patterns, territorial behavior, and the personalization of space. Brower then describes the application of these ideas and findings in a series of design interventions in an inner city neighborhood in Baltimore. These interventions are thoroughly documented and evaluated, and the lessons learned from both successes and failures are used to inform design ouidelines for the study area. The interventions also help to define the role of outside professionals; in particular, the importance of involving residents in defining and resolving their own problems, and the need to accept space management and social organization as proper concerns of design. The book is written in clear, simple language, and uses drawings and photographs to illustrate the ideas presented.
