Urban Design And Historical Representation Of Newcastle City

The architecture in Melbourne is characterised by a substantial juxtaposition of old and new architecture. Where there are old architectural buildings that are an icon of Melbourne, there are also more recent buildings that have built a reputation of a Melbourne Icon. These more recent icons are known as The Melbourne Museum and Federation Square.

This chapter helps to define some elements that may represent a city. For example, when

Boyer and Nissenbaum use multiple maps to prove their argument that geographic location played a major role in the

The first map that I drew is about, the space I inhabited in the past, which is Mexico City. In this part of my life I resided in a very residential area- one that in the United States could

There are many artist’s who can make an impact with how they convey their work. An artist who conveys his work with elegance, is Tom Killian. He is a local artist from California, and went to the University of Santa Cruz California. Living in California was going to shape his perspective on the world forever, specifically on how he depicted his work. In a work of art of his itled, Monterey Bay from Santa Cruz Pogonip. The work of arts creation came to be in 2002. The process in creating this piece was intricate, it was created from a wooden stamp press, the presses used are hand carved into wood and linoleum blocks. For each of the colors used in the piece, a new block has to be created to ensure that the colors doesn’t blend in ways the

Throughout history, the discovery of an ancient artifact has always brought with it much excitement. The idea that we are able to look at something that existed so long ago intrigues us. However, along with the excitement of new discoveries, there is often much controversy. One such discovery, the Vinland Map, has been the cause of much debate since 1957.

In this assignment, out of the two European cities provided for our choice, I selected Strasbourg, which is located in the eastern part of France, since the given small scale map clearly shows some of the historic buildings located in the city. In contrasting with Strasbourg, France, I have chosen Tucson, a small/mid-size city in the state of Arizona. The reason for such a particular choice lays in a desire to learn more about this city, which I may potentially have an opportunity to visit this summer if my application to the Udall Foundation’s Undergraduate Scholarship will be successful, and therefore I would be invited to attend a week long workshop in the University of Arizona located in the heart of Tucson.

In order to add value to a city and fix any mistakes regarding a decline in the quality of living, different forms of development must be consistently undertaken for example civic improvement, slum clearance, urban renewal, urban consolidation, regeneration, brownfields and waterfront development (Freestone R., 2010). Due to ignoring the issues of urban expansion until the mid-twentieth century, cities have consequently been forced to transform and redevelop dramatically. Part of this process as seen in Sydney in 1836 was understood as the most fundamental action in the ‘civic development’ of the city (Freestone R., 2010). The plan involved the relocation of the Government House, re-development of Circular Quay, connection of the city street

Throughout its contents, this report will endeavour to evaluate, assess and analyses the effectiveness of the locations, in particularly their layouts and plans, which include the Docklands and Bannockburn. It will also detail the human geographic characteristics of each area, a range of services and functions that was observed at these locations, a brief history of each area and this report will assess the liveability of each area. Data was collected during the Year 11 field trip to the Docklands and this data will be used

Seventeenth century maps may seem to be simple drawing but they had a big impact on explorers and traders of the time. The expansion of trade and colonization of the New World brought the need of accurate maps to help empires control as much as the world as possible. During the Age of Exploration these maps were important to explorers trader ships to navigate the seas to the new world and its colonies (Dempsey, Caitlin)

But light should not give me such a fright, so what have I to truly fear?

Maps are summarized real word for particular purposes and humans read maps to make a decision in real world. The position of map reader is essential for finding relevant information through the map. Therefore, the map reader position was explicitly indicated in the

The city of Newcastle is a great city to live. Newcastle is often referred to as a harbour city, which has many beaches to accommodate all the locals and visitors that would like to go swimming, in the hot and sometimes even the cold. There is a coastal walk connecting the beaches which stretches between Nobbys and Merewether. There is a path that that gives people access to Bogey Hole Which is a convict built beach bath, the path also leads to the 1880s Defence installation which was originally used to defend against possible Russian attacks on the Newcastle city, but went out of service in about 1972 but still stands today as a historical museum and whale watching site. This map shows Newcastle but the picture doesn’t show the

Designing a city from scratch is a remarkable thought experiment but ultimately fails at implementation because we always approach it from the perspective of “how can we create a new city that solves problems of existing cities.” It’s less a process driven by design and more by critique. Urban living has paved its way into modern society, yet the vision for a city has changed over time. Large settlements need planning to grow; yet differences in minds is what leads to the modifications of a city, in return makes a city so unique. Alterations in opinions are what thrives urban life, still these differences are what skews the view of how others see a city compared to myself. They say the eye of the beholder deems beauty; this could explain

In order to figure out some of the current main functions of Carlisle, the first research method used for this report was two RICEPOTS surveys of different areas in Carlisle – the CBD (the square near the Tourist Information Centre) and the area from West Tower Street to Corporation Road. These areas were chosen to display a contrast in the land usage of two areas of Carlisle which are close together. The RICEPOTS surveys were completed by walking around the areas and annotating a map with the purpose of each building in the area. Once both maps were annotated, the information was put into a table before being compiled into a comparative bar graph (see: Graph 1).
