Abstract

Spacematrix explores the potential of urban density as a tool for urban planning and design. The authors' fascination with density is driven by the desire to understand the relational logic between density, urban form and performance. This is a prerequisite for understanding and successfully predicting the effects of specific designs and planning proposals. The focus of attention is the relationship between types of urban environment and data such as amount, size and physical properties.

Abstract

La mobilité est omniprésente dans nos vies quotidiennes. Son ampleur et sa croissance posent de nombreuses questions, tant politiques et sociétales que scientifiques, quant à sa gestion et sa régulation. Phénomène complexe, la mobilité requiert une analyse interdisciplinaire pour en saisir les différentes dimensions. C'est ce à quoi s'attache cet ouvrage, en ouvrant un dialogue entre sciences de l'ingénieur et sciences sociales. Sur la base de nombreuses recherches récentes, il discute de manière critique dix grandes questions fondamentales relatives à la mobilité. Il montre les points qui font consensus, identifie ceux pour lesquels une controverse scientifique existe, et prend à contre-pied certaines idées dominantes. Par sa démarche originale, ce livre s'adresse principalement aux étudiants en sciences de l'ingénieur et en sciences sociales désireux de se familiariser avec les enjeux actuels de la mobilité, mais il se destine également à tous ceux curieux et désireux de mieux comprendre les multiples facettes de la mobilité.

Abstract

Pendant plusieurs décennies, maintes villes de montagne ont connu un développement massif et incontrôlé, réalisé au coup par coup, par simple multiplication de l’archétype du chalet individuel. L’étalement urbain considérable résultant de ce modèle d’occupation du territoire a nécessité la construction de nombreuses infrastructures routières. Afin de protéger durablement ces villes touristiques et leur environnement naturel, Fiona Pia développe une méthode de recherche originale. Elle étudie d’abord différents cas représentatifs de villes d’altitude: Verbier, Zermatt, Avoriaz, Whistler-Blackcomb et Andermatt Swiss Alps. L’analyse comparative détaillée permet de définir des inducteurs de projet qui conduisent ensuite l’auteur à proposer des stratégies de densification urbaine et de mobilité publique «verte». Les résultats présentés peuvent être transférés à d’autres villes alpines et servir de base de réflexion pour résoudre leurs problématiques contemporaines.

Abstract

Spacematrix explores the potential of urban density as a tool for urban planning and design. The authors' fascination with density is not primarly normative, making no claim to know which density is best, but is driven by the desire to understand the relational logic between density, urban form and performance. This is a prerequisite for understanding and successfully predicting the effects of specific designs and planning proposals. The focus of attention is the relationship between types of urban environment and data such as amount, size and physical properties.

Abstract

What is density? This question is the starting point of an investigation into the nature of density in the contemporary urban environment. In analysing projects located throughout Europe, the research proposes that density is not about volumetric exploitation, but based on the interaction between three elements: agents, fluxes, and territory. This book documents the findings, detailing individual buildings, cataloguing specific urban forms, and drawing conclusions as to performance and quality, also in an ecological sense. It also offers a case study concerning the former site of the Renault factory in Paris, examining how an experimental opportunity can lead to a vibrant piece of city.

Abstract

Soft City begins with the big ideas of happiness and quality of life, and then shows how they are tied to the way we live. The heart of the book is highly visual and shows the building blocks for neighborhoods: building types and their organization and orientation; how we can get along as we get around a city; and living with the weather. As every citizen deals with the reality of a changing climate, Soft City explores how the built environment can adapt and respond. Soft City offers inspiration, ideas, and guidance for anyone interested in city building. Sim shows how to make any city more efficient, more livable, and better connected to the environment.

Abstract

A Bruxelles, comme dans toute ville, les densités baties sont le produit de l'imbrication de processus multiples dans le temps long de l'histoire. Cette recherche a focalisé son attention sur les opérations de 10 logements et plus conduites entre 1989 et 2007. Elle tente de comprendre comment ces opérations se sont insérées dans le tissu urbain, à quelles formes urbaines elles ont donné lieu, quels acteurs elles ont mobilisés et comment leurs habitants apprécient la situation de densité à laquelle ils se trouvent confrontés dans leur vie quotidienne. Quels enseignements peut-on tirer de cette production immobilière? Quelle politique de densification qualitative permettra de poursuivre le développement d'une ville judicieusement compacte, où anciens et nouveaux habitants puissent trouver leur place, où l'o puisse circuler librement et où puissent cohabiter harmonieusement les équipements et services du local et ceux du global?

Abstract

Worldwide urbanization brings seemingly inescapable and uncontrollable forms of densification with it. Increasingly, cities are no longer defined by clearly visible borders. Instead they form open territories that are honeycombed with infrastructures and immaterial networks. This development requires a new understanding of density: density is not the product of piling square feet on top of one another, instead it is the result of vital connections between the different urban levels. Apart from a physical and economical dimension, density also has a social significance in particular, as a means of promoting and structuring human relations and therefore contributing to a good urban life.0'Density, Architecture, and Territory' puts forward a model of density as a tool for sustainable urban development. Based on five European urban planning projects in Saintes, Utrecht, Copenhagen, Nantes, and Bregenz, various densification strategies are presented and analyzed. Discussions with the architect Kees Christiaanse, the philosopher Marc Armengaud, the landscape architect Henri Bava, and the economist Allain Sallez round off the publication.

Abstract

This book combines the architectural and urban scales to demonstrate that urban intensity determines the success of housing. The authors provide a typology of housing according to the ways in which diversity and density are created. Comparisons with historical models and critical appraisals based on the authors' unique standing give information on the pros and cons of major types of housing, their pitfalls and successful examples.

Abstract

In which ways does a "green building" contribute to the ecology of its surroundings? And how can ecologically designed urban districts, with their green and blue networks, link up with the elements and technologies of building design? All dimensions of "green building" are investigated in this book in an effort to understand and evaluate some of the most recent and innovative Dense+Green Cities in Asia, the Americas and Europe.
