Abstract

The relationship between public and private spheres is one of the key concerns of the modern society. This book investigates this relationship, especially as manifested in the urban space with its social and psychological significance. Through theoretical and historical examination, it explores how and why the space of human socities is subdivided into public and private sections. It starts with the private, interior space of the mind and moves step by step, through the body, home, neighborhood and the city, outwards to the most public, impersonal spaces, exploring the nature of each realm and their complex, interdependent realtionships. A stimulating and thought provoking book for any architect, architectural historian, urban planner or designer.

Abstract

Winner of the EDRA book prize for 2012.In cities around the world, individuals and groups are reclaiming and creating urban sites, temporary spaces and informal gathering places. These 'insurgent public spaces' challenge conventional views of how urban areas are defined and used, and how they can transform the city environment. No longer confined to traditional public areas like neighbourhood parks and public plazas, these guerrilla spaces express the alternative social and spatial relationships in our changing cities. With nearly twenty illustrated case studi

Abstract

Kristine F. Miller delves into six of New York's public spaces, including Times Square, Trump Tower, and Sony Plaza, to trace how design influences their complicated existence. Design is, in Miller's view, complicit in regulation of public spaces in New York City to exclude undesirables and privilege commercial interests, and in this work she shows how design can reactivate public space and public life.

Abstract

Bei jedem städtebaulichen Entwurf, bei jedem Eingriff in die räumliche Struktur öffentlicher städtischer Räume stellt sich die Frage nach der Komposition und den räumlichen Qualitäten von Plätzen. Auf welche Weise sind die wesentlichen Elemente beteiligt: Dimension, Proportion, Ausrichtung, Geschlossenheit, Zugänge, Schwerpunkt- und Randausbildung sowie Oberflächen und Materialien? Wie tragen sie zum Charakter eines Stadtraumes bei, der sich zur Identifikation der Bewohner anbietet?Für aktuelle Entwürfe unterstützt der Vergleich mit historischen Beispielen die Vorstellung räumlicher Wirkung. Ähnlich einem Grundrissatlas für Gebäude ermöglicht es der Platzatlas, räumliche Bedingungen für Bewegung und Aufenthalt anhand vergleichbarer existierender Plätze einzuschätzen. Für die meisten Rahmenbedingungen (Form, Größe, Lage, Topographie usw.) kann der Planer hier ein Vergleichsbeispiel finden.70 europäische Plätze werden mit den wichtigsten Charakteristika in Schwarzplan, Grundriss, Schnitt und Axonometrie in einheitlichem Maßstab präsentiert und erläutert. The question of composition and spatial qualities arises in every urban design concept or intervention in the spatial structure of urban public squares. How are the essential elements involved: dimension, proportion, alignment, cohesion, accesses, shaping of focus point and of edges like surfaces and materials? How do they contribute to a character of urban space with which residents can identify? Comparing historical examples with current designs aids one in visualizing spatial effect. Similar to a floor plan manual for buildings, Squares allows the user to evaluate spatial conditions for movement and rest based on comparable existing urban squares. The book offers the planner a comparative example for most conditions (shape, size, location, topography, and so on). Seventy European urban squares are presented and explained with the most important characteristics in a consistent manner in as-built plan, ground plan, section, and axonometric projection.

Abstract

Der Band der Reihe zur zeitgenössischen Landschaftsarchitektur behandelt die Steigerung der Lebensqualität durch die planerische Aufwertung des Wohnumfeldes und höhere Qualität des öffentlichen Raumes. Wie grün werden wir wohnen? Welches sind die wesentlichen Kriterien einer gelungenen Freiraumplanung im Wohnungsbau? Wird eine veränderte Beziehung zwischen Stadt und Land dazu beitragen, vielleicht in Form einer urbanen Landwirtschaft?Das Buch begleitet den Deutschen Landschaftsarchitektur-Preis 2011, den Sonderpreis Wohnumfeld und den international größten Ideenwettbewerb für Studierende und Berufsanfänger zum Thema Landschaftsarchitektur und Freiraumplanung, den Peter-Joseph-Lenné-Preis. In einer erneuerten Gestaltung und überarbeitetem Aufbau zeigen die Beiträge und Projektdarstellungen des Buches, mit welchen Strategien die Profession den neuen Herausforderungen begegnet. This volume in the series on contemporary landscape architecture is concerned with how life quality can be increased by improving our living environment through planning and raising the quality of public space. How green do we want our housing to be? What are the essential criteria of a successful planning of open space in residential architecture? Will the changed relationship between city and country contribute to that, perhaps in the form of urban agriculture?This book was published on the occasion of the German Landscape Architecture Award 2011, the Special Housing Environment Award, and the largest competition for ideas from students and young professionals in landscape architecture and open space planning: the Peter Joseph Lenné Award. With a revised design and reworked structure, the essays and project descriptions in the book reveal the strategies with which the profession is meeting new challenges.

Abstract

Open urban spaces are an ideal stage for public events. An important prerequisite for their design in an increasingly heterogeneous multicultural cityscape is the relationship between design, use, and social function.The book documents both temporary as well as permanent installations of various kinds - from the open-air courtyard of a museum to the design of a river bank promenade, through to a city park.

Abstract

Bij de ontwikkeling van ruimtelijke uitvoeringsplannen, verkavelingsplannen en inrichtingsplannen worden heel wat beslissingen genomen die bepalen in welke mate een publieke buitenruimte functioneel, "beleefbaar" en "bespeelbaar" is voor kinderen. Dit boek geeft concrete richtlijnen voor kindgerichte planning van publieke buitenruimte. &#13;&#13;Dit boek laat zien hoe planologen, ontwerpers en ruimtelijke beleidsmakers kindgerichtheid kunnen realiseren in elke planningslaag. Deze publicatie bevat ruimtelijke instrumenten en concepten om tot een kindgerichte woontypologie, mobiliteit, groenstructuur, water- en reliëfstructuur en toeristisch-recreatieve structuur te komen. Concreet planmateriaal, talrijke referentiebeelden, concepttekeningen en technische schetsen maken het tot een bruikbaar instrument voor planning en ontwerp. &#13;&#13;Daarnaast reikt dit naslagwerk tevens een systematiek aan om plannen op te bouwen die rekening houden met de eigenheid van kinderen. Hiervoor worden diverse case studies gepresenteerd, die aantonen hoe kindgerichtheid verweven kan worden met een kwaliteitsvolle planning en ontwerp van de publieke ruimte.&#13;&#13;
