ECOLOGICAL CATHARSIS THROUGH URBAN ACUPUNCTURE Ali Arsalan Pasha Siddiqui, NesPak Ltd., Pakistan/Middle East Technical University, Turkey, [email protected] ABSTRACT Buildings as living machines entails the implication that context is merely a consequence of the geo-political dynamic between built forms, rather than a discernible progression of spatial motivations. Considering a broader perspective of terming cities as ecosystems that engage through a variety of interaction points, it is evident that the synergy of natural processes maintains its own progression independent of architectural intervention. The nature of public space and the genetic grains of urban fabric are similar, terming context as the precursor to architectural intervention rather than its sequential result. The traditional interactive relationships between natural ecosystems and built environment influenced by local culture and identity are gradually deteriorating; causing cities to lose their distinctive cultural identity and urban landscapes. If we consider the city as a living being in and of itself, growing exclusive of the built environment as an emergent entity similar to the cyclic evolution of a neural network, we can associate that both have an interconnected network structure and sustain the capacity to adapt and self-organize by manipulating morphogenetic information. Successful examples of such cities evolve in a very specific manner, retaining older patterns while responding to change by adding novel adaptations. As a result, a thorough initiative to engage the communities in active participation of urban renewal needs to be conducted, where individuals learn how to produce small-scale socially catalytic interventions through urban acupuncture, leading to the transformation of a larger urban context. The objective of this research is to establish the need to understand the paradigm of urban ecosystems and how the built environment is shaped through it, while investigating the phenomena of cultural landscape and ecology as part of city image. Cities with engaged communities are more resilient and adaptive, gearing their activities towards poverty alleviation and the achievement of sustainable ecological communities. KEYWORDS: Urban Acupuncture, Neural Network, Sustainable Neighbourhoods INTRODUCTION The city represents a multi-layered progression, similar to the transmission of multiple ripples; which conflict with each other and struggle to reach an equilibrium. Most architects have thoroughly emphasised the importance of understanding buildings as living entities, which grow and evolve with time. One could inquire why the built form is attributed a temporal and corporeal identity, while the urban fabric that houses the structure is simply considered as a consequence of geo-political dynamics between built forms. Context, which is observed as a mode of reference for architectural intervention, should be rightfully defined as an evident progression of spatial motivations, terming the city as a living ecosystem which maintains its own growth independent of architectural interference. The aim of this paper is to highlight the importance of observing the city as a living ecosystem, in lieu of which, lead to an observation of the processes and urban practices that give shape to public space. Since city infrastructure and built environment always need to undergo comprehensive revitalization, it would bode well to consider public space, as Lefebvre said, as a ‘the space thus produced also serves as a tool of thought and of action’, hence encouraging analysis on the processes of spatial production rather than merely the space itself. In this essence, it would be beneficial to consider the individual and communal motivations that give shape to the public space and are the core foundations of the city as an ecosystem. Far from a mechanical attribute, such an ecosystem is a living entity which consistently evolves and undergoes catharsis, as a means of purification and growth. ECOLOGICAL ECUMENOPOLIS In order to understand the dynamics associated with the evolution of cities as living entities, it is crucial to understand why cities exist; where to understand why cities exist we may begin by postulating a world without cities. Although they are characterised has highly complex spatial phenomenon, cities can be categorically defined by assessing a settlement with regards to productivity. The distinction of cities from large settlements took place, when not all inhabitants of a certain locale were engaged in agrarian activities, giving rise to specialised occupations, such as trade and food storage. For a world without cities 1078 UIA2014 DURBAN Architecture OTHERWHERE CIB W110 INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS & AFFORDABLE HOUSING ! to exist, each individual must engage in equal productivity, making them responsible

Among these, green building certification systems (GBCSs) should not be left behind as significant potential modifications may be required to ensure their versatility for residential buildings due to the new pandemic reality. The present study aims to evaluate the readiness of chosen GBCSs for a proper assessment of existing residential housing sustainability in a post-pandemic world. Based on a literature review of the state-of- the-art data sources and round table discussions, the present study proposes a particular set of sustainability indicators covering special sustainability requirements under pandemic conditions. Then, those indicators are used to evaluate the readiness of selected GBCSs (BREEAM, LEED, WELL, CASBEE) to meet new pandemic-resilient requirements based on their responses to the indicators.
