Book excerpt: During summer and fall 2014, an international collaboration research and design project was set up in New York, called Common Streetscapes, The Low Countries and New York, consisting out of a series of workshops, seminars, round table discussions and site visits with students, professionals and academics of Flanders, The Netherlands and New York. During these activites, different expertises and approaches related to the reading and design of collective spaces were put together and tested by focusing on Coney Island, Brooklyn New York.During summer 2014, following previous research projects and workshops in Williamsburg and Gowanus in New York, an international 10day hands-on transdisciplinary workshop was organised about Coney Island, working with local communities of Kaiser Park, a public park situated at the interior side of Coney Island. Local students and teachers of Pratt Institute New York and Partnerships for Parks, a joint program of Parks & Recreation New York, together with some local stakeholders joined the project besides the delegations of KU Leuven (Faculty of Architecture, campus Sint-Lucas Ghent and Brussels) and TU Delft. Around twenty participants from different European countries discussed and proposed ideas of how to deal with its future streetscapes and waterscapes in this part of the metropolis of New York. The workshop was supported by the Flemish and Dutch Government representatives in New York.Later, in fall 2014, a research and design seminar was organised to follow up the initial outcomes of the workshop and discuss, this time with panels of invited experts from U.S., the main topics that define the reality and future of Coney Island. At the same time, this seminar was the starting point for a master dissertation design studio, conducted at KU Leuven, Faculty of Architecture, International Master of Architecture and a design studio at TU Delft that was finalised at the end of spring 2015.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: this is the third in the series of Streetscape Territories Notebooks that describes concepts and cases of design and analysis in architecture and urban design, focusing on the way different collective spaces, fueled by different activities, are defining contemporary streetscapes. This publication will focus specifically on the challenges and potentials of streetscapes of manufacturing and their economic, social or cultural meaning. Streetscape Territories is an international research project that deals with territorial organization of urban projects, explored in different contexts, studied as part of different cultures and defined by different social networks. Streetscape Territories deals with models of proximity within a street, neighborhood or region and starts from the assumption that urban space, from the domestic scale till the scale of the city, can be understood as a discontinuous collective space, containing different levels of collective use that are defined by multiple physical, cultural or territorial boundaries. This notebook illustrates more than one academic adventure: the first part describes an ongoing design and research project about the Gowanus area in Brooklyn, New York: besides a reading of the context, some proposals are presented to consolidate a socially and economically productive neighborhood for the next decades. The second part samples four master dissertation projects in architecture and urban design and planning, using the Streetscape Territories project as a conceptual and critical framework. The last part illustrates a student project of the international master of architecture program, dealing with depth configurations at the scale of a neighborhood in Ghent.The previously mentioned academic projects focused on models of proximity in the Gowanus Canal and Harbor area: how are the surrounding streetscapes related to the canal? Which are the “sets of relative distances” (De Solà-Morales, 1997) between different buildings, between buil

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first volume in the series of Streetscape Territories notebooks has multiple purposes. On one hand, this publication seeks to introduce a theoretical discourse on Depth Configurations in architecture and urban design, as the built environment we inhabit can be understood as a territorial organisation of space, defined by different models of proximity and permeability. One of the main aspects of this discourse is the way in which territorial boundaries are defined in architecture and landscape design. This theory, focusing on the in-between scale and related to urban projects, considers the design and appropriation of collective space as its Leitmotiv: the way individual or collective use of space is demarcated or suggested may intimate its actual qualities. On the other hand, the notebook seeks to prove the relevance of this theoretical framework by presenting case studies of New York City as a part of the Streetscape Territories Research Project conducted at the LUCA/KULeuven University, campus Sint Lucas in Brussels and Ghent. The project is supported by a series of Masters Dissertation Projects developed within the theoretical framework of Depth Configurations and focused on the changing neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn in New York City. Finally, this notebook is presented in conjunction with an academic roundtable discussion in New York and seeks to stimulate a broad but critical reflection on the future role and nature of urban projects in a rapidly changing environment. More, it hopes to avoid architectural prejudices about the way people produce, transform, or inhabit space and to consider its multiple physical, social, cultural, economical, and environmental dimensions.

Book excerpt: This is the eighth in the series of Streetscape Territories Notebooks that deal with research and design projects on streetscapes and collective spaces (previous publications were on Williamsburg New York, Collective Spaces, Raval Barcelona, Gowanus New York, Coney Island New York, Common Streetscapes New York and Havana). Streetscape Territories is the name given to an international research project (KU Leuven, Department of Architecture) that focuses on the transformation of the urban fabric and considers its streetscapes the protagonists. The research deals with the way architectural artifacts, open space, the property structure and its inherent accessibility and permeability configure streetscapes and how their inhabitants can give meaning to them.

Book excerpt: The challenges rapid urbanisation encompasses are manifold, so are the efforts addressing sustainable and inclusive development frameworks. "Reclaiming Public Space through Intercultural Dialogue" is an intercultural and interdisciplinary initiative, which focuses on how social and spatial segregation can be overcome in metropolitan areas. Through joint research and teaching activities in the cities of Dortmund and Amman, three comprehensive topics emerged: urban transformation and the role of public space; social and cultural dimensions of cities; and nature-based planning approaches. The book compiles contributions to these topics from researchers, practitioners, and students, which were presented in an international conference held at the German Jordanian University in Madaba, Jordan, in November 2017.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although rarely explored in academic literature, most inhabitants and visitors interact with an urban landscape on a day-to-day basis is on the street level. Storefronts, first floor apartments, and sidewalks are the most immediate and common experience of a city. These "plinths" are the ground floors that negotiate between inside and outside, the public and private spheres. The City at Eye Level qualitatively evaluates plinths by exploring specific examples from all over the world. Over twenty-five experts investigate the design, land use, and road and foot traffic in rigorously researched essays, case studies, and interviews. These pieces are supplemented by over two hundred beautiful color images and engage not only with issues in design, but also the concerns of urban communities. The editors have put together a comprehensive guide for anyone concerned with improving or building plinths, including planners, building owners, property and shop managers, designers, and architects.

De Sola-Morales' method offers a handhold for an analysis of how the city, understood as a built entity, can impede or promote human behaviour and thereby affect the habitus of urban residents - now more than half the world's population." "This book presents projects over the past two decades, with an introduction by NewYork based historian Kenneth Frampton, an essay by the Dutch critic Hans Ibelings, and a selection of texts written by Manuel de Sola-Morales."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: A celebration of the multiway boulevard and an argument for its revival, with design guidelines and historic examples. First built in Europe and grandly imported to the United States in the mid-nineteenth century, the classic multiway boulevard has been in decline for many years, victim of a narrowly focused approach to street design that views unencumbered vehicular traffic flow as the highest priority. The American preoccupation with destination and speed has made multiway boulevards increasingly rare as artifacts of the urban landscape. This book reintroduces the boulevard, tree-lined and with separate realms for through traffic and for slow-paced vehicular-pedestrian movement, as an important and often crucial feature of both historic and contemporary cities. It presents more than fifty boulevards—as varied as Avenue Montaigne, in Paris; C. G. Road, in Ahmedabad, India; and The Esplanade, in Chico, California—celebrating their usefulness and beauty. It discusses their history and evolution, the misconceptions that led to their near-demise in the United States, and their potential as a modern street type. Based on wide research, The Boulevard Book examines the safety of these streets and offers design guidelines for professionals, scholars, and community decision makers. Extensive plans, cross sections, and perspective drawings permit visual comparisons. The book shows how multiway boulevards respond to many issues that are central to urban life, including livability, mobility, safety, interest, economic opportunity, mass transit, and open space.
