Paperback. Condition: New. Over the last 500 years, a range of innovative, responsive, and pragmatic civic actions have helped to generate, define, and maintain New York City's global significance. From early on much of these actions were responses to population density and the accompanying challenges for health and well-being. Approaching its next growth cycle, New York is again amid important urban transformations that demand new urban and architectural models that allow for an open city to balance gentrification, and to address a lack of public spaces, social infrastructure, and affordable housing. These challenges and their architectural and urban implications are the focus of Next New York. The book captures the city's current momentum through the lens of three important urban actions: sharing, connecting, and partnering. Through 10 essays from scholars and practitioners working on pressing urban issues, a photographic essay portraying New York during COVID-19, and more than 35 design projects from graduate studios at the University of Virginia's School of Architecture, Next New York reflects, comments, and speculates on New York City's capacity to bring about new conceptions of city-making and collective cohabitation through architecture.

This book is an appeal for less egomanism and more modest spirituality in architecture." -- "The new Campus WU project was launched in 2005 within the academic setting of the Vienna University of Economics and Business. The project culminated in 2013 with the handing over of the finished university complex within its budgetary framework of ?500 million. It is the largest University of Economics in the EU with a population of 25,000 students, teachers and staff and is moving into a neighbourhood with approx. 100,000 inhabitants. This is where future generations of economists will be trained." -- "The new campus had its groundbreaking ceremony in October 2009. Close to the Prater public park, and next to the exhibition centre of Vienna, the campus features 6 main building complexes resting on approximately 25 acres (10 ha). The master plan was created by BUSarchitektur under the guidance of the architect Laura P. Spinadel. The buildings of the campus are designed by architectural firms from Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and Austria. The dominant element of the campus is the Library & Learning Center, which was planned by Zaha Hadid. Construction began in June 2010 and paved the way for the largest campus for business sciences in Europe. With a total investment of 492 million Euros and a planned construction period of 3 years, the project was concluded in 2013. Campus WU is situated close to the public transport hub Praterstern and is serviced by two stations of the underground line U2 and a number of buses. The LLC has five cores, each with a different complex geometry. The core walls are inclined at different angles and so are the corners which are also rounded with different radii. MEVA has developed and uses both standard and special formwork, or a combination of both, to meet the forming requirements for these complex building parts. Steel formwork, for example, is used for rounded corners if required for structural reasons. Trapezoidal areas of inclined cylindrical corner areas are poured with special Mammut 350 wall formwork panels and special designs of MEVA's circular column formwork Circo are used for the tilted and rounded corners. The WU moved to the new site in September 2013, which is located at Welthandelsplatz 1, 1020 Vienna, Austria.".

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book focuses on how to maintain environmental sustainability as one of its main principles, and it addresses how smart cities serve to diminish wastes and maintain natural resources by having clean green energy that is operated by new smart technology designs. Living in a smart city is not something of the future anymore, it is here, and it is being implemented all over the world. A smart city uses different types of electronic Internet of things (IoT) sensors to collect data and then use these data to manage assets and resources efficiently. The smart city concept integrates information and communication technology (ICT), and various physical devices connected to the IoT network to optimize the efficiency of city operations and services and achieve sustainable solutions to allow us to grow with proper management of our resources.Smart sustainable structures and infrastructures face the need of urban areas due to the growth of populations while in the same timesave our environment. To achieve this, we need to revisit the conventional methods in design and construction and the conventional materials which are used now to optimize the design and provide smart solutions. In the past few years, the consumption of resources has been massive, and the waste produced from that consumption has been inconceivable. This is causing environmental degradation, which produces many environmental challenges, such as global climate change, excessive fossil fuel dependency and the growing demand for energy.As well as, discussing the challenges facing the civil engineering design and construction of smart cities components and presenting concepts and insight from experts and researchers from different civil engineering disciplines., this book explains how to construct buildings and special structures and how to manage and monitor energy.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Die Inszenierung des Urbanen artikuliert als wissenschaftliche These ein erweitertes Raumverständnis, das den gebauten Raum als Hardware, den genutzten Raum als Software, die Organisation von Raum als Orgware und den kommunizierten Raum als Brandware interpretiert. Anhand verschiedener Fallstudien von Kulturstandorten untermauert die Autorin Mona El Khafif die aufgestellte These des [MULTILAYERED.SPACE] und erfasst Raumproduktionen zweiter Ordnung. Die theoretische Auseinandersetzung mit Raum, Kultur und Marketing und die Analyse konkreter Standorte in Wien, Bilbao, Utrecht, Amsterdam und Berlin thematisieren die Initiierung kultureller Urbanismen und fokussieren den urbanen Raum als sozialräumliche Bühne. Die hier eingesetzten Strategien lassen sich als Inszenierung für die Erlebnisgesellschaft interpretieren, die sowohl eine Instrumentalisierung als auch die Motivation von Sozialraum beinhalten. Abschließend werden diese Ansätze als Regieanweisungen für den Stadtraum im Bereich der Stadterneuerung und des Place Brandings thematisiert, die durch das methodische Rahmenwerk des urbanen Scripts interdisziplinär und prozessorientiert ausgerichtet werden.
