Urbanism

use and interaction, elaborating forms of life and knowledge embedded in urban environments? Taking the research further, the book "The New Urbanism: Toward an Architecture of Community" by Peter Katz elaborates on the theory of New Urbanism and present principles that focus on the idea that certain physical setup can enhance a social behaviour. The New Urbanism theory came forward in the 1980s as a response to the urban sprawl of the suburbs based on single use conventional planning practices .The

A Historical Survey of Architecture and Urbanism: from Antiquity to the Middle Ages The Houses of Roman Italy Introduction This paper evaluates the design and structures of the Roman houses since the antiquity era to the Middle Ages. The paper digs deep into the houses that the Romans built and compares several factors that give relative argument base for the entire paper. It is outlined that most Roman houses were built in respect to the wealth and influence of individuals within the society. This

Comparative Urbanism Just as every society needs organization of government to function properly, cities and towns need to have an organization of their building plans and placements. This organization can be influenced by several different factors, such as the land terrain, the traditional building practices, and the history of the area. These were all things I had to keep in mind while observing and comparing the city plans of three different areas: Bristol, RI, Newtown, CT, and Birmingham, AL

transcends the built environment, altering our understanding of fundamental human experiences and destabilizing meanings of material systems and structures. Hence it is important to conceptualize the relationship between technology and contemporary urbanism, Trope of circulation and metabolism In Erik Swyngedouw’s Circulations and Metabolisms, he proposes to use the trope of ‘circulation’ and ‘metabolism’ as a theoretical

James Kunstler in his book Home from Nowhere, slams American urban design and goes into detail about its horrifying attributes. He calls the United States a theme park nation that needs superficial stimulation to hide unhappiness. These conditions exist, in part, due to our association of the city with the dirty industrial revolution rather than the more natural green environment that people prefer. He calls the public realm the connective tissue of our everyday world. It is parks, streets, squares

Throughout the ages of civilization, mankind has evolved its environment and along with the changes to the environment it has affected us immensely. As skyscrapers are erected in the middle of Manhattan, it was with the sweat on a brow of mankind. Pollution of transporting necessary objects to create the obelisk and many factors contribute to the downfall of individuals. Environmental psychology focuses on the study between person-environment relations. Person- environment can be described as

and, like the fairs, reflect American urbanism and the progressions of industry. According to his colleagues, this ambition had always been apparent from day one. Walt’s involvement with world fairs has been recorded as much as possible, showing that he attended at least four Exposition’s. Most notably, his integration of ‘Audio-Animatronics’ in the Ford and General Electric pavilions at the 1964 New York world’s fair (Chappell 2015). The fairs displayed agencies separated by avenues of people circulating

From recent years, utopian urbanism connects with the so-called crisis of modernist urbanism that forms utopic degeneration. Utopia has developed to mean a community with a visionary system of political and societal perfection, where cities that function to improve the daily lives of its citizens; an ideal society, However these concepts are more often than not depicted as an impossible dream, yet too bold, too radical to ever exist in real life. Some utopian visions are focused on new technology

Interconnectivity of Variables Parametric urbanism is based on parametric design systems, in which the parameters of a particular object are declared, and not its geometry. The focus of interest is not the form itself, but the parameters which have generated them (Canuto, R. and Amorim, L., 2012). In this context, geometries with parameters are created to be related with all other design components, where any specific variation will lead to an adaptation response in the geometries forming the model
