  • The Landscape Urbanism Approach Seems to Expand This Definition of an of Definition This Expand to Seems Approach Urbanism Landscape the Networks
    THE LANDSCAPE URBANISM ap pen dix The Landscape Urbanism Appendix is a theoretical appendix to Chapter 1: Imaging Landscape. Here supplementary writings on specific landscape urbanist aspects are elaborated on. First the concept of processes and James Corner’s surface strategies are introduced and expanded upon. Secondly, landscape urbanism is given perspective through a comparative study with other contemporary positions that make up the urbanism of our time. Thirdly, contemporary approaches and landscape urbanism are accounted for in a historical perspective. CONTENTS Performative Processes iii Surface Strategies vii Contemporary Positions ix Evolution of Planning Ideals xv PERFORMATIVE PROCESSES The notion of performativity which this project applies is based on a notion of ecology based on processes, both social and physical, local and global. Performativity in this sense relates to a process-based stance to planning that aims for adaptable and dynamic solutions rather than a fixed and static design. “Thus performance shifts the focus of interests from essence to effect. The question is not what something is, but what it does.” Andreas Ruby (Gausa, p. 476) The word performative actually derives from the world of linguistics as a categorisation for the type of words known as speech acts, utterances that can perform an act in the very moment of being uttered, e.g. the utterance ‘I promise’, thus performing the act of promising. (www.wikipedia.com; www.dictionary.com) When transferred to the world of architecture and planning, this definition offers a new understanding of space. Standing in contrast to representative design, performative design can thus be said to actively acknowledge and perform in the world and processes it is a part of.

  • Integrated Urbanism 48Th ISOCARP Congress 2012
    Brigitte Schmelzer Integrated Urbanism 48th ISOCARP Congress 2012 Integrated Urbanism – The Role of Landscape Strategies for Hyper- Dynamic Urban Change Brigitte Schmelzer Landscape Architect Germany 1.Definition of Landscape for The Urban Discourse Landscape is an oscillating term. The enumeration of physical and metaphorical terms of landscape compounds are confusing like: City landscape or urbanized countryside /countrified city, urban landscape - posturban landscape, natural landscape or romantic landscape, cultural landscape - regional landscape, drosscape - infrastructural landscape, logistic landscape. Landscape contains ecological, geographical and visual parameters and their transformation through anthropogenic use. Looking at cities worldwide the built up city and the surrounding landscape are blurred .That applies specially to metropolitan regions. None the less city is not landscape and landscape is not city. Landscape is a man-made cultural and aesthetic product. It is initially formed by natural powers. It offers natural resources and near-nature impressions but it is not nature by itself, although in vernacular use landscape is mostly called nature. In landscape coincide three categories : 1. Natural elements 2.its transformation into culture and 3.its visual perception as aesthetic concept. “What landscape finally differentiates from the city is, not its cultural shaping nor the category of aesthetical perception. In the deepest core the term in differentiation to city implies a vision of nature in landscape “(das Aufscheinen von Natur in Landschaft, Wolfrum, Sophie) 1 Natural Ice Age Lake Mazursky Poland 2011 In my short outline I will present to you the concept of landscape along different theories of urban discourses as an important strategy in dynamic urban processes.

  • Landscape As Urbanism: a General Theory
    Introduction: From Figure to Field There are, in fact, no cities anymore. It goes on like a forest. —Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, 1955 Landscape has recently emerged as model and medium for the contemporary city. This claim has been available since the turn of the twenty-first century in the discourse and practices the term “landscape urbanism” describes. This volume offers the first monograph account of the subject and locates the im- pulse behind landscape urbanism in a broader set of historical, theoretical, and cultural formations. Moving beyond the original assertions and ideological charge of landscape urbanism, the book aspires to provide a general theory for thinking the urban through landscape. This begins most productively through the definition of terms. This is a book first and foremost about urbanism, albeit an adjectivally modified urbanism. The term urbanism in this context refers reflexively to both the empirical description and study of the conditions and characteristics of urbanization, as well as to the disciplinary and professional capacity for inter- vention within those conditions. The term appears in English near the end of the nineteenth century adopted from the French urbanisme. As adopted from the French, and in present usage, the term refers to cultural, representational, and projective dimensions of urban work specific to the design disciplines that the social science term urbanization lacks. Urbanism has been found particularly useful as a single term, in English, to reconcile the academic and professional split between the social sciences and planning on the one hand, with the disci- plinary and professional formulations of the design disciplines on the other.

  • The Pluralistic Urbanism
    Learning from Adjectival Urbanisms: The Pluralistic Urbanism Rem Koolhaas declares that there has hardly been any theoretical description of the city by architects since Jane Jacobs’ The Death and Life of Great American Cities (1961), Robert Venturi’s Learning from Las Vegas (1972), and his own Delirious New York: A Retroactive Manifesto for Manhattan (1978) that describes how a city “performs and how it should perform.” (Koolhaas 2007, 320) DONGSEI KIM NO THEORETICAL DESCRIPTIONS OF CITIES SINCE 1978? Columbia University Rem Koolhaas declares that there has hardly been any theoretical description of the city by architects since Jane Jacobs’ The Death and Life of Great American Cities (1961), Robert Venturi’s Learning from Las Vegas (1972), and his own Delirious New York: A Retroactive Manifesto for Manhattan (1978) that describes how a city “performs and how it should perform” (Koolhaas 2007, 320). Despite Koolhaas’ proclamation, in the North American context, one can observe the growing number, and recent proliferation of diverse urbanisms modified with heterogeneous adjectives in the last two decades. PROLIFERATION OF ADJECTIVAL URBANISMS Some of the recent adjectival urbanisms include, Bicycle Urbanism (c. 2013), Tactical Urbanism (c. 2012), Combinatory Urbanism (2011), Fast-Forward Urbanism (2011), Post-Traumatic Urbanism (2010), Radical Urbanism (2009), Stereoscopic Urbanism (2009), Ecological Urbanism (2008), Parametric Urbanism (2008), Networked Urbanism (2008), Sustainable Urbanism (2007), Trans-Border Urbanism (2006), Recombinant Urbanism (2005), Micro Urbanism (2005), Paid Urbanism (2004), Dialectical Urbanism (2002), Splintering Urbanism (2001), Green Urbanism (2000), Everyday Urbanism (1999), Landscape Urbanism (1997), New Urbanism (1993), etc. Most of these urbanisms are manifested through publications that carry their titles and often are promulgated through aca- demic or professional conferences and exhibitions.

  • The Future of Sustainable Urbanism: Society-Based, Complexity-Led, and Landscape-Driven
    sustainability Article The Future of Sustainable Urbanism: Society-Based, Complexity-Led, and Landscape-Driven Rob Roggema ID Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building, University of Technology Sydney, Ultimo 2007, Australia; [email protected]; Tel.: +61-4-2388-1377 Received: 17 July 2017; Accepted: 13 August 2017; Published: 15 August 2017 Abstract: This article discusses the question: where to with sustainable urbanism? It includes a historic review of the concept of sustainable urbanism and reviews of recent literature in the field of eco-cities. Through these reviews, it deliberately interrogates new pathways for sustainable urbanism. The result of this investigation is the insight that there are six design principles that are required to create a sustainable city: a design in which cycles are closed, redundancy is built in, anti-fragility is created, citizens are seen as (design) experts, the landscape is used as the basis, and innovative, rule-breaking designs are developed. These six design principles are then captured in three comprehensive concepts, which together support the design of a sustainable city: the design approach needs to be a (1) society-based; (2) complexity-led, and (3) landscape-driven design approach. Keywords: sustainable urbanism; green city; eco-city; complexity; society; landscape 1. Introduction 1.1. Aims Most of current urbanism is based on a technological paradigm in which the quantification of elements such as housing, jobs and parking spaces, standards, and regulations seem more important than achieving resilience. These kinds of urbanism are strongly economically driven and money-based. Recent developments, such as smart cities, with their focus on data and technology, often deepen this technological paradigm, hence adding vulnerability to urban systems.

Jeff Stein: For centuries, architects have been making buildings landscape urbanism. If you have a culture that is fundamentally and cities — designing what are literally the building blocks of automobile-based, then an urban model that is anti-automobile is urban environments. Today, as architects talk about greening the counterintuitive at best. There’s a strange precept these days that cities, their focus is still essentially on those building blocks. But lo, asserts that people will abandon their cars if we simply build cities here comes the notion of landscape urbanism, which suggests a that don’t accommodate them.
