AMPS Proceedings Series 10.2 AMPS PROCEEDINGS SERIES 10.2 AMPS, University of Derby 22 – 23 June, 2017 Cities, Communities and Homes: Is the Urban Future Livable? EDITOR: Eleni Tracada SERIES EDITOR: Graham Cairns PRODUCTION EDITOR: Eric An © AMPS AMPS PROCEEDINGS SERIES 10.2. ISSN 2398-9467 INTRODUCTION This publication is the product of the conference Cities, Communities and Homes: Is the Urban Future Livable? held at the University of Derby in 2018. The premise of the conference and this publication is that the forces shaping life in cities are complex. The economies they are based on are multiple. Some are growing exponentially, others are shrinking. Some pride themselves on architectural heritage, others are seeking to build and rebrand. Some are old, some are new. Inevitably their urban fabrics vary. The communities that live in these places reflect these conditions. Some are long-standing, others are new and in-formation. Sometimes they are active, on occasion homogenous. More generally they are diverse. These communities need, and want, a say in their futures. Some are well connect and affluent, others suffer deprivation and social exclusion. A constant in the mist of this complexity is their need to be housed – whether by themselves, the market, or governments. The conference and this subsequent publication seek to explore how the three issues of city development, sense of community and housing need, all combine to make lives in our cities livable – or not. How will our urban environments change in the near future? Are the cities we live in now likely to contract or expand? How will these changes impact on communities and the way they are housed? Will new technologies facilitate community engagement with planning? Will resident voices be heard by planners? Will unaffordable housing turn some cities into enclaves of the wealthy, or will the private sector and personal preference gate our communities? These proceedings, and the conference which it documents, were organised by the research organisation AMPS, its academic journal Architecture_MPS, and the College of Engineering & Technology at the University of Derby. It formed part of the AMPS program of events, Housing – Critical Futures. TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1 THE UNBUILT AND THE IDENTITY: INFLUENCE OF PUBLIC SPACE IN THE POST DISASTER 1 RECOVERY.

THE UNBUILT AND THE IDENTITY: INFLUENCE OF PUBLIC SPACE IN THE POST DISASTER RECOVERY. Author: MONIA DEL PINTO Institution: ANTALYA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY, TURKEY INTRODUCTION Cities are, by their nature, dynamic systems experiencing continuous growth and modifications, owing their appearance to physical, socio-cultural, economic, environmental features, synthesizing a more complex network of interconnected factors. From the early settlements to the contemporary metropolitan areas, the interaction between these aspects shaped and determined the behaviour of the urban organism. The mutual influence of natural and man-made determinants1 has been responsible for place-specific layouts, changing according to location, climate, available resources and skills, as well as the predominant socio-cultural milieu. Any urban layout results by the juxtaposition of volumes and voids, respectively embodying tangibility and intangibility, solid reality filled with meanings and values. Building the environment means building its representation too, and complex spatial models turn into social models after a physical and anthropological contamination. The result is an organic concept of space 2 made of stratifications, both physical and ontological. In time, mutated social models have been reflected in the physical appearance of the built environment responding to, or determining, needs and behaviour of the modern liquid society3 and proving Lefebvre’s statement that ‘’capitalism produced abstract space’’4. Non- places, separation, individuality, recently became the representation of a new experience of time, space, and social interaction, where the buildings turn into containers of individuals, labelled according to their function, whereas the unbuilt public space is a leftover, sum of meaningless gaps, a sort of ‘’waste product of architectural blueprinting’’5. The above speculation crumbles when it comes to deal with the disasters, and the urban systems appear like fragile man-made encrustations exposed to catastrophes: earthquakes, flooding, hurricanes, landslides invert the system of spatial values in a short time, setting aside any advanced theoretical conjectures in the name of the atavistic need of safety. The following sections will be an introduction to a wider research, aimed to reconsider the role of the open public space in the post-disaster recovery. The paper will outline the features of the Unbuilt involved in fostering identities and sense of belonging of evacuees, offering a reading of how it could influence the community’s response to natural catastrophes. Beyond determining the immediate safety degree of a city in case of disaster, the gaps could reasonably address the later reaction of a community, fostering its resilience. 1 Page AMPS | University of Derby Cities, Communities and Homes: Is the Urban Future Livable? SETTING THE LEXICON Built and Unbuilt Built and Unbuilt represent the primary tangible determinant of the urban morphology, defining, in combination with the intrinsic predisposition of specific locations, the risk exposure and consequent response of cities. The Open Public Space, including roads, squares and their minor unintended subcategories, plays

  • Rules of the Game
    Hello! We’ve been doing this talk for a number of years, check out some of our earlier years editions – on the GDC Vault, many on YouTube. 2 What do we mean when we talk about game design rules? A lot of times when people talk about rules they talk about what I call “fortune cookie” wisdom. These are because they fit on a single piece of paper. 3 Here’s a few examples of that fortune cookie school of design rule. I’ve been saying “Start designing the middle” for a while - this is the idea that you should start making your game with the core of the gameplay. This is particularly true in a linear action adventure game. Make the middle levels first. Then when you have that working, go back and build the beginning, the introduction– now you know the core you can make the perfect tutorial. And make it great, because it’s what players play first. Then make the end part of your game last because you will run out of time and it won’t be perfect. But if any part of your level doesn’t need to be perfect, it’s the end, because fewer players will finish it than begin it. 4 Or how about this one When I heard this I heard it attributed to Sid Meier (more on that in a minute) – and it’s one I’ve embraced. 5 It makes sense right? You have four, the 2nd one up from the bottom is default, most players will pick that, players who want something easier can go down one, players who want something more challenging but not stupid can go up one, and the true masochists or kids with too much time on their hands can go for the hardest (aka “Impossible”).

  • Jaarverslag Mensen Maken Amsterdam 2018
    Jaarverslag 2018 “Een fonds van Zuidoost voor Zuidoost daar moet en wil ik aan bijdragen. Niet op anderen wachten. Zelf doen! Samen Zuidoost mooier en beter maken. Voor ons zelf en om iets moois door te geven aan onze kinderen.” Glynis (donateur Fonds voor Zuidoost) Mensen maken Amsterdam Mensen Maken Amsterdam is de verzamelnaam van de lokale fondsen voor alle stadsdelen in Amsterdam. Fonds voor Oost, Fonds voor Nieuw-West, Fonds voor Noord en Fonds voor Zuidoost zijn de lokale fondsen in Amsterdam onder de overkoepelende stichting Mensen maken Amsterdam. Zij bieden een antwoord op huidige, maatschappelijke ontwikkelingen in de stad. We leven namelijk in een tijd waarin Amsterdammers steeds vaker zelf aan de slag gaan om hun buurt mooier, groener, kleurrijker en leefbaarder te maken. Deze plannen voor de buurt hebben in de meeste gevallen naast inzet en goede wil ook financiering nodig. Op dit moment bereiken publieke en private fondsen slechts een deel van de samenleving. Daarnaast hebben bestaande mogelijkheden voor financiering een lange wachttijd, een complexe procedure of streng afgebakende beleidskaders. De lokale fondsen in Amsterdam zijn een antwoord op deze drempels doordat zij zich laten kenmerken door een aantal belangrijke en onderscheidende punten: - Iedereen kan een aanvraag doen - Binnen alle thema’s en disciplines mits van betekenis voor buurt of stad - Geen ingewikkelde procedures - Elke maand indienen en binnen twee weken uitslag - De besluitvorming ligt enkel en alleen bij buurtbewoners - Snel verdelen van kleine bijdragen - De lokale fondsen verdelen én werven geld “Oost is mijn thuis in Amsterdam. Ik ben trots op Oost en ik draag Oost een warm hart toe.

  • The Economics of Neutrality: Spain, Sweden and Switzerland in the Second World War
    The Economics of Neutrality: Spain, Sweden and Switzerland in the Second World War Eric Bernard Golson The London School of Economics and Political Science A thesis submitted to the Department of Economic History of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, 15 June 2011. Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without the prior written consent of the author. I warrant that this authorization does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. ‐ 2 ‐ Abstract Neutrality has long been seen as impartiality in war (Grotius, 1925), and is codified as such in The Hague and Geneva Conventions. This dissertation empirically investigates the activities of three neutral states in the Second World War and determines, on a purely economic basis, these countries actually employed realist principles to ensure their survival. Neutrals maintain their independence by offering economic concessions to the belligerents to make up for their relative military weakness. Depending on their position, neutral countries can also extract concessions from the belligerents if their situation permits it. Despite their different starting places, governments and threats against them, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland provided similar types of political and economic concessions to the belligerents.

    Márkus Keller1 Professionalization in Socialism Architects and Architecture after 1945 in Hungary2 https://doi.org/10.18030/socio.hu.2020en.95 Abstract In my study, I investigate architects’ search for their place in the new society and the history of their profession after 1945 in Hungary with the help of professionalization theories. Through statistics, memoirs,- in terviews, archival documents, laws and decrees, I seek to discover what kind of role architecture and architects played in the dictatorship of the 1950s and how that role changed in the Kádár system. In addition to external analysis, I place particular emphasis on how this change of role is reflected in the lifestory interviews and in the identity of the architects of the era. Keywords: historical sociology, professionalization, architecture, oral history 1 Associate professor, Department of Comparative Historical Sociology, Eötvös Loránd University 2 The study was supported by the project: A professzionalizáció története Magyarországon a 19–20. században, európai kontextusban [A History of Professionalization in Hungary in the Context of 19th–20th-century Europe].

Introduction The relationship between a professional group and the state – in the present case, the state-power-mo- nopolizing Hungarian Workers’ Party – represents a sensitive issue in all eras. In general, members of a certain profession (at least in continental Europe) simultaneously desire autonomy and require state support in order to reach their objectives (Halmos–Szívós 2010). This is especially true in the case of architects, who are una- ble to realize their professional ideas without having a significant amount of material resources placed at their disposal.
