ASSOCIATIVE PARAMETRIC URBANISM: A Computational Approach to Parameterization of Conceptual Design Phase M.AYOUB Arab Academy for Science and Technology and Maritime Transport Alexandria, Egypt Email address: dr.ayoub@aast.edu Abstract. Urban planning projects usually comprises a complex set of objectives that needs to be addressed by developing a number of proposals, which require a lot of repetitive steps resulting in fewer and slowly-developed design alternatives. To address the limitations of

Essay: Compare and Contrast the Chicago and Los Angeles Schools of Urbanism. Urban studies aims to develop an understanding the modern city metropolis. As Savage et al. have pointed out, the urban encompasses far more than just the physical city itself; understanding the city help us to understand many aspects of modern life (2003, pp.4). Many of its features, such as mass media and public transport systems have spread throughout society over the past century. Sociological studies of urban life

Lauren Gebhardt Professor Paga Urbanism of the Ancient World April 11, 2016 Rome’s Inspiration The phrase “Rome wasn’t built in a day” is commonly used to describe things that take time and patience. The phrase is very true, Rome was not built in a day and it did not rise out of nothing. The rise of Rome was impacted greatly by Etruscan urbanism, Greek colonization, and Hellenistic imperialism. These external influences gave rise to the Republic by impacting the growth and formation of the city

sub-urbanism is convenient, it has negative impacts on the environment. Therefore, the United States must make the conversion back to walkable urbanism zoning because drivable sub-urbanism is having detrimental effects on our environment’s land, air, water, and climate. Before the 1940’s, the majority of the United States cities were zoned into walkable urbanism. In Christopher Leinberger’s book, The option of Urbanism, he describes walkable urbanism as the following, “[In walkable urbanism] you

Exam 1, Kansas City Design Center September 30, 2016 2 Without order in the public realm the world we live in would be a very unorganized environment. When it comes to order within the public realm we have to thank planning, zoning, transects, and urbanism theories, because these strategies shape our environment as to what it is today. Authors such as Leon Krier, Emily Talen, Cliff Ellis, and Douglas Kelbaugh are theorist who have discussed problems with urban design and provide implications on how

Urbanism was developed in the early 19th century. Within architecture discourse, the characteristic of urbanism is the interaction of town and city dwellers with the built environment. The concept was explained as the association of the social, civil and cultural with the environment. In a book ‘The Uses of Sidewalks: Safety’, by Jane Jacobs, she abstract that ‘her basic notions of what makes a neighbourhood a community and what makes a city livable’ . She stated that ‘Great Cities are not like

The original objective of creating the Metrocables was to fight poverty, unemployment, violence, and crime in Medellin (Bea, 2016). Given that both poverty and unemployment have already been discussed, the focus now turns to crime and security. In addition to the apparent changes made in the commercial realm that have multiplied businesses and created jobs for the previously unemployed, residents of these neighbourhoods have noticed changes made in terms of crime and safety. As previously touched

This chapter of the book is a good example of an impassioned appeal for human mobility. So much that I went ahead and started reading chapter 6, just to get a feel of where walkable urbanism was headed. Leinberger presents a case that would allow cities to encourage, allow and promotes places for individuals to live and have accessible places to go via walking. The chapter focuses on human well-being, rather than limit infrastructure and resources to encourage automobile travel only. The author

“Was the Antebellum South Antiurban? A Suggestion,” the authors, Lyle W. Dorsett and Arthur H. Shaffer, show evidence of how the people in the South was not only against urbanization, but also how some of the people were pro-urbanism. Many southerners were against urbanism because they were farmers, who owned land and also slaves, and building cities would mean less land for plantation. Less land for plantation would result in less money in crops and more in businesses, or factories. However, not
