URBANIZATION 2014 DCFA MARY KOLB BERGLUND TRAVELING FELLOW EDUARDO CASTAÑEDA One of the most vital programs that the Dallas Center for Architecture Foundation administers is its scholarship and fellowship program for students and young architects. Each year, $10,000 or more is distributed to students and architects from across the state and country. This includes the traveling fellowship program: three awards granted for senior architecture students or recent graduates to travel and further their research. Here is a report from Eduardo Castaneda who used his funding from the 2014 Mary Kolb Berglund Traveling Fellowship to study urbanization in Asia. 2014 DCFA MARY KOLB BERGLUND TRAVELING FELLOW EDUARDO CASTAÑEDA Eduardo Castañeda, born in Dallas, Texas, received his Bachelors of Science in Architecture in 2012 and his Masters in Architecture in 2014 at The University of Texas at Arlington. During this time, he studied abroad in Austria at the University of Innsbruck and traveled extensively in Europe. His interest in the influence of historic and contemporary architecture has led him on numerous architectural expeditions throughout Europe, Asia, Central America, and the United States. Eduardo was President of the AIAS Chapter at UTA from 2012 to 2014, during that time he has energized the chapter and worked diligently to forge productive relationships with the local AIA chapters, both Dallas and Fort Worth, and the design profession in general. Eduardo has garnered national and international attention for both his leadership and design achievements such as: 2015 National AIAS Emerging Professional Honor Award, 2015 AIA Annual Emerging Professionals Exhibition, 2014 Kolb-Berglund Traveling Fellowship, KROB 2013 – Best in Category Student Digital/Mixed, SuckerPunch Online Publication, and many other awards. Upon graduation, Eduardo worked for Callison in Dallas, where he received the Callison $5000 Scholarship and Internship (2014). He has then worked mainly in international projects with the International Design Studio in Dallas as a Designer. As a young designer and professional Eduardo has shown a degree of diligence and involvement by leading both technological advancement and team coordination in a difficult timeframe and complex team structure. Eduardo has served on the AIA Dallas - Board of Directors for two consecutive terms (2013 and 2014) as the AIAS Liaison. He has been an active and passionate Associate AIA members, who was the Chair for the 2015 Ken Roberts Memorial Delineation Competition and the 2016 Vice-Chair for the Latinos in Architecture Network. Under Eduardo’s leadership, AIA Dallas and UTA AIAS have become much more aligned around a common goal of engagement, advocacy and mentorship. WHY CHINA? For two weeks this summer I traveled to China, in which I visited three major cities: Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing. The main focus of this trip was to see how the world is experiencing extraordinary rapid urbanization. While economically beneficial, such growth puts incredible strain on cities as their urban contexts drastically transforms. PROBLEM As Asia is urbanizing at a rate over 150,000 people per day, growth which is estimated to sustain itself over the next 20 years. China has reached a 50% urbanization rate, meaning that over 700 million people now live in Chinese cities. The combination of consistent economic growth and influx of people moving to take advantage of opportunity in urban areas has created a real estate boom in unpresented. These trends seem to suggest that keeping up with the increasing demand for buildings to serve the increasing urban population will be difficult for architecture applying a traditional design and construction process which can take years to complete one large-scale building. Allowances for creativity, site-consciousness and user experience are left by the wayside in the speed of production in current developments. The result is massive development of “cookie cutter” buildings which lack standards of quality and rarely address contextual or environmental issues. MY ENCOUNTER WITH CHINA I spent two weeks traveling around the country and it broke me down. It broke down the entire framework of what we were taught as architecture students about function, priorities and what you’re entitled to. I was taken by the city’s undeniable pulse and unconventionality. Everything is bigger: the buildings the crowds, the traffic jams. The pace is faster. Change is not something that happens a decade away but something that you’re immediately and instantly confronted with. For me it was crucial to visit China. To absorb the culture, gain a sense of how life unfolds. How people’s psychology functions, how emotions run. take all that in and consider how architecture could manifest itself as a response to these notions that are beyond the technical or purely conceptual.

As designers we need to be innovative and questioning things. BEYOND As Architects, we have a universal language, a mindset that enables us to cross between ideas, minds and worlds… Architectural philosophy, symbolism, and ideas transpire during the smallest events of our lives and the greatest world events abroad. I strongly believe the profession of an architect influences the way people live, eat, sleep, and network, amongst numerous activities. Focusing on contemporary architecture and understanding how to translate common problems and being aware how society is changing. By diagnosing all this data I have then applied that to proposed projects..

    The Glasgow School of Art Oration for Andy Bow Andy Bow Sir Norman

    The Glasgow School of Art Oration for Andy Bow Andy Bow Sir Norman Foster once said, “As an architect you design for the present, with an awareness of the past and for a future which is essentially unknown.” Andy Bow is a senior partner in Foster and Partners, arguably the world’s most consistently innovative post war architectural practice. Since its inception in 1963, the practice has won an unprecedented number of international awards and competitions. Its output ranges from city masterplans to door handles; from yachts and bridges to light fittings. Few practices have embraced the uncertainties of the future so positively and with such confidence. Andy Bow has always displayed the key qualities of the very best Mac graduate; a sense of adventure and unbounded energy, a predisposition to collaboration, a passion for drawing, a generous spirit and the ability to remain close to both local roots and international horizons. These were all in evidence when, shortly after graduating and in collaboration with his long-standing friends and current Mac tutors Ian Alexander and Henry McKeown, they won the prestigious Manhattan Waterfront Competition. Chancellor, Andy Bow was born in 1961 in Edinburgh. He attended George Watson’s College, Telford College of Further Education and the Mackintosh School of Architecture at the Glasgow School of Art. Like myself, he chose to mix practice and education by joining the Mac’s part time course; a heady mixture of daytime office responsibilities and evening classes. When he eventually became a full time student, his studio design reviews quickly attracted attention. The potent mixture of his astonishing drawings and memorable exchanges with staff, particularly professors Andy McMillan and the late Isi Metzstein became must –see events for his fellow students.

Although the German-American Bund received extensive press coverage during its existence and monographs of American politics in the 1930's refer to the Bund's activities, there has been no thorough examination of the charge that the Bund was a fifth column organization responsible to German authorities. This six-chapter study traces the Bund's history with an emphasis on determining the motivation of Bundists and the nature of the relationship between the Bund and the Third Reich. The conclusions are twofold. First, the Third Reich repeatedly discouraged the Bundists and attempted to dissociate itself from the Bund. Second, the Bund's commitment to Deutschtum through its endeavors to assist the German nation and the Third Reich contributed to American hatred of National Socialism.

  • A Neighbourhood Under Storm Zhabei and Shanghai Wars

    A Neighbourhood Under Storm Zhabei and Shanghai Wars

    European Journal of East Asian Studies EJEAS . () – www.brill.nl/ejea A Neighbourhood under Storm Zhabei and Shanghai Wars Christian Henriot Institut d’Asie orientale, Université de Lyon—Institut Universitaire de France [email protected] Abstract War was a major aspect of Shanghai history in the first half of the twentieth century. Yet, because of the particular political and territorial divisions that segmented the city, war struck only in Chinese-administered areas. In this paper, I examine the fate of the Zhabei district, a booming industrious area that came under fire on three successive occasions. Whereas Zhabei could be construed as a success story—a rag-to-riches, swamp-to-urbanity trajectory—the three instances of military conflict had an increasingly devastating impact, from shaking, to stifling, to finally erase Zhabei from the urban landscape. This area of Shanghai experienced the first large-scale modern warfare in an urban setting. The skirmish established the pattern in which the civilian population came to be exposed to extreme forms of violence, was turned overnight into a refugee population, and lost all its goods and properties to bombing and fires. Keywords war; Shanghai; urban; city; civilian; military War is not the image that first comes to mind about Shanghai. In most accounts or scholarly studies, the city stands for modernity, economic prosperity and cultural novelty. It was China’s main financial centre, commercial hub, indus- trial base and cultural engine. In its modern history, however, Shanghai has experienced several instances of war. One could start with the takeover of the city in by the Small Sword Society and the later attempts by the Taip- ing armies to approach Shanghai.

    Regeneration and Sustainable Development in the Transformation of Shanghai

    Ecosystems and Sustainable Development V 235 Regeneration and sustainable development in the transformation of Shanghai Y. Chen Department of Real estate and Housing, Faculty of Architecture, Delft University of Technology Abstract Globalisation has had an increasing impact on the transformation of Chinese cities ever since China adopted the open door policy in 1978. Many cities in China have been struggling with the challenges of urban regeneration created by the restructuring of the traditional economy and increasing competition between cities for resources, investment and business. The closure of docks, warehouses and industries, and the deteriorating position of traditional urban centres not only created problems but also created exceptional opportunities to reshape cities and create new functions. But this kind of process also generates a series of physical, economic and social consequences for cities to tackle. In many cases the problems exceed the capacity of the local community to adapt and respond. This paper examines a number of urban regeneration projects in Shanghai, in the hope of providing a better understanding of the process of urban regeneration in China and how best to ensure that such regeneration is sustainable. The paper reassesses the aims of regeneration, the mechanisms involved in the regeneration process and its physical, economic and social consequences, discusses how to achieve sustainable development in urban regeneration and makes recommendations for future action. 1 Introduction Global market forces and increasing globalisation are clearly playing a role in the transformation of cities and towns. In most countries urban systems are experiencing dramatic changes brought about by economic restructuring, continuous mass migration and the arrival of immigrants.

    Discussion on the Segmentation and Unification of Public Space Within Shanghai Historic Lane Neighbourhood

    ICOA543: BETWEEN FAMILY AND STATE: DISCUSSION ON THE SEGMENTATION AND UNIFICATION OF PUBLIC SPACE WITHIN SHANGHAI HISTORIC LANE NEIGHBOURHOOD Subtheme 01: Integrating Heritage and Sustainable Urban Development by engaging diverse Communities for Heritage Management Session 2: Management, Documentation Location: Stein Auditorium, India Habitat Centre Time: December 13, 2017, 14:30 – 14:45 Author: Xiang Zhou, Aya Kubota Xiang Zhou, who achieved his bachelor’s degree in Landscape Architecture at Beijing Forestry University, China, and received his master’s degree in Landscape Architecture at Tongji University, China, is currently conducting his Ph.D. Study on Urban Design at The University of Tokyo under the supervision of Prof. Aya KUBOTA, at the Territorial Design Studies Unit. His research interests are urban regeneration and historic precinct revitalization, urban & rural community sustainable development, territorial cultural landscape and Chinese classic gardens. Abstract: Shanghai’s historic lane neighbourhood is a social combination established on residents’ recognition of cultural identity and rights. It has blended into their daily life, shaping their cultural characters, developing the basic tone of Shanghai urban life, and becoming a mainstream living space in Shanghai. Analyzed under the perspective of daily life, Hongkou River area in Shanghai is selected as a case study to identify sustainable means towards equity. Through empirical research, the thesis believes identification of three distinct worlds: Shikumen lane neighbourhood, new-built commodity house district, cultural and creative industrial district, under the collective name of a unified community, apparently exists within the residents’ cognitive map. Accordingly, urban segmentations between the three worlds reflect on the physical differences in entrance guard, architectural type and interactive mode in their daily lives.
