A proposta central deste artigo é analisar as representações sobre as cidades que irrompem nos fragmentos dos diversos relatos e registros dos seus habitantes. Nos “relatos de espaço”, homens e mulheres codificam e distinguem simbolicamente espaços e lugares, imbricados às várias temporalidades. Reunidos em uma trama narrativa, sinalizam práticas culturais, organizadoras dos espaços e constitutivas das configurações urbanas. Abstract: The central proposal of this article is to analyze the representations about the cities that emerge in the fragments of several reports and records of their inhabitants. In the “reports of the space” men and women codify and distinguish symbolically spaces and places, which are connected to several temporal dimensions. Gathered in a narrative plot, they show cultural practices that are organizers of the spaces and constitutive of the urban configurations. Palavras-chave: Cidade. História. Memória. Key words: City. History. Memory.

A Performance

Este artigo apresenta e avalia a implementação de CityMetrics: um sistema computacional que articula métricas de avaliação de desempenho a recursos e funcionalidades algorítmico‑paramétricas, de maneira a permitir analisar e otimizar diferentes aspectos relativos ao grau de eficiência e as possibilidades de operação de configurações geométricas e algébricas de uma área urbana. Assim, este artigo aborda o uso de recursos computacionais e ferramentas algorítmicas elaboradas para mensurar a performance de áreas urbanas, sob a perspectiva de princípios objetivamente mensuráveis do Desenvolvimento Orientado pelo Transporte Sustentável, um modelo de desenvolvimento urbano que visa a cidades mais autônomas e mais sustentáveis. A presente pesquisa visa a verificar como atributos mensuráveis, geométricos e algébricos (e, portanto, programáveis) podem ser utilizados em um modelo computacional que utiliza métodos de otimização para dar suporte a tomada de decisão no processo de projetos urbanos.

Many of the present eco-cities are designed and planned with an emphasis on high technology and infrastructure yet the meaning of sustainability itself implies a balance between past and present. Past urban configurations that rise from earlier traditional socio-cultural structures reflect sustainable principles localised to climate and ecology. The aim of this study is to reconstruct urban morphologies be-fore the advent of the automobile in order to analyse and characterise urban forms that are aligned with ecological criteria such as walk-ability, permeability and shade. Three traditional urban center or ‘cores’ in tropical Malaysia which had reigned during the early colo-nial era yet still related sultanate-based polities are mapped in terms of morphologies and these urban ‘core’ configurations were esti-mated and composed according to historical documents and evidences . These urban patterns are then discussed with regards to the present principles and criteria of green urbanism. The reconstructed and mapped urban cores are discussed in relation to green urban-ism principles and criteria, namely, based on global sustainable standards namely the LEED ND (Leadership in Energy and Environ-mental Design) version 4 neighbourhood rating system. The findings from this study suggest the contextualization of sustainable criteria according to climate and postulate the differences between traditional urban morphologies that can further regionalism principles of current green urbanism and further contextualise key principles in international standards on urbanism.
