ResumoEste texto-viagem baseia-se na reciprocidade entre cidade e cinema, e a consequente operatividade disciplinar. Percorrendo o discurso reinventado e recentrado sobre a cidade - de Le Corbusier a Aldo Rossi, e a prática cinematográfica seja na criação de cidades que não existem seja na crítica à cidade moderna - de Jean-Luc Godard a Pedro Costa, esta viagem deixa em aberto a multiplicidade de leituras da cidade e das suas formas que o cinema desenha, testando a força ideológica das imagens que arquivamos na memória, e recupera o carácter fragmentário ou de continuidade da Montagem, como auxiliar operativo na síntese entre Cidade do Desejo e Cidade da Memória, para um possível desenho urbano em jeito Collage, afirmando o seu carácter de potencial transformador e refundador de parte da própria cidade.AbstractThis text-journey is based on the reciprocity between city and cinema, and its consequent disciplinary engagment. Drawing on the reinvented and recentered discourse of the city - from Le Corbusier to Aldo Rossi, and on the cinematographic practice whether  in the creation of cities that do not exist or in the criticism of the modern city – from Jean-Luc Godard to Pedro Costa, this journey - drawn by cinema - leaves the multiplicity of readings of the city and its forms open. As an operative support in the synthesis between City of Desire and City of Memory, and towards a possible urban design in a Collage Way, this journey,  by stressing part of the city´s transforming and refounding potential character, also tests the ideological strengh of images that we keep in memory and retrieves the fragmentary or continuity nature of Montage.

Do we need “architecture of resistance”?The modern city design adapts to the consumer behavior of its inhabitants. The city-dwellers, under various slogans and ideologies, are willing to pay for their apparent security and live in a soulless yet sheltered residential development spaces. The American visionary and architect Lebbeus Woods has recognized architecture as a political act. He also thought that most architects are egotistical, self-styled executives who consider themselves creators. In view of the increasing tendency of ghettoisation of public space in cities, a critical attitude has to be adapted. By analyzing the mechanisms of spatial segregation, I point to the architecture of resistance gaining in importance as a form of fulfilling utopia in the creation of an inclusive city.

Chapter 14 argues that the ethos of the modern city in the developed world is marked by a conflict between an established tendency toward “deodorizing” and a minority of scent advocates who seek greater olfactory diversity. The chapter begins by discussing smellwalking, smell mapping, and related artworks, then moves on to the place of odors in urban design, noting that most city officials think of odors only as something to be controlled or eliminated. After a discussion of the role of smell in architecture, the chapter closes by considering the ethical issues surrounding ambient scenting in both the workplace and the marketplace, as well as the clash between claims made for aromatherapy and the demand for fragrance bans made by sufferers from multiple chemical sensitivity.

The city has featured as a central image in utopian thought. In planning the foundation of the new and ideal city there is a close interconnection between ideas about urban form and the vision of the moral good. The spatial structure of the ideal city in these visions is a framing device that embodies and articulates not only political philosophy but is itself an articulation of moral and cosmological systems. This paper analyses three different utopian moments in three different historical epochs – Tommaso Campanella’s City of the Sun (1602), the Choson dynasty foundation of the city of Seoul (1395) and the modernist utopian urbanism of the controversial Le Corbusier (1887–1965). In this analysis attention is drawn to the cosmological and moral visions articulated in these three ‘images of the city’ (Lynch). The opposition between rationalistic/mechanistic and religious/traditional urban design can prove to be an oversimplification that obscures the complex interrelations between the moral geometry and the natural alignments of the ideal urban form.

This paper will attempt to highlight the land reclamation as an instrument of urban planning. To achieve this goal, Dubai will be considered as a case study and, specially, Reima and Raili Pietilä’s proposal for the Deira Sea Corniche Competition as a visionary proposal which anticipated the creation of artificial islands in the city. Describing the history of the Dubai’s coastline and analyzing the Pietiläs’ project for its innovative and -at the same time- contextual ideas, the paper will not only offer a new way to approach urban design in Dubai but also to consider the value of land reclamation as a tool for urban development -with its strengths and weaknesses- in order to avoid land consumption and to allow the preservation of most part of the coastline.

The “Plan Voisin” for Paris dated 1925, is one of the most notorious urban projects by Le Corbusier. In it he implements his first real model of the modern city: “The city of Three Million Inhabitants”, drawn for the Autumn Exhibit on 1922. Both projects have a close and direct relation. While one proposes a theoretical model, the other develops how to implement it in the center of Paris. Therefore, both projects can be understood as the same approach but in two different moments. In Le Corbusier’s books, the graphical representation of the projects reflect this, although the documents tend to contradict it. In his “Œuvre complète”, for example, the number of images differs for each case. While the project “The city of three million Inhabitants” is represented by a generous amount of drawings and plans (around 20 images), the “Plan Voisin” adds up to a maximum of five specific images. In the book “Urbanisme” the proportion is of images is similar. This This is a cause of scarce comprehension of the plan for Paris. The article focuses on the graphical documentation in “Plan Voisin”, its difference with the theoretical model and an analysis of its implementation. Principally, the article studies the relation between the new buildings with with those that remains, revealing Le Corbusier’s criteria towards architectural heritage and the importance he gives to some urban complexes in Paris.

Lewis Mumford in The City in History (first edition in 1961) emphasises that the structure of modern cities is partially responsible for many social problems seen in Western society. Urban planning should concentrate on an organic relationship between people and their living spaces. The city is a product of Earth, a fact of nature, man’s method of expression, Mumford writes in his The Culture of Cities (first edition in 1938). This also means that both the designer and the user must have a high degree of creativity in order to design and utilise the built environment. By analysing the definition of the city Mumford examines its changes during history from ancient times to recent planning method. He criticises the most dominant design processes of the 20th century: the functionalist and mechanical urban design. He is an advocate of the organic method in planning and understanding cities. The organic approach requires an active and creative approach as opposed to mere passive reception.This organic approach by Mumford to understanding cities is based on the theory of Kevin A. Lynch. We may distinguish 3 normative ways of city planning theory: (1) the cosmic, (2) the mechanic and (3) the organic model.In my paper I will first apply the onion model of culture developed by Geert Hofstede for the city and its analysis, and also for the appearance of creativity in them. After that I am going to examine the city with a special, architectural based mind map theory: the five elements by Lynch. Lynch suggests that these five elements (paths, edges, districts, nodes, landmarks) create the mental map for readability. Finally, I will investigate a usage of mental map in modern city planning (Le Corbusier) and works on the process of “debabelisation” (Otto Neurath). Santrauka Lewisas Mumfordas Mieste istorijoje (pirmasis leidimas – 1961 m.) pabrėžia, kad šiuolaikinių miestų struktūrai tenka dalis atsakomybės dėl daugelio socialinių problemų, regimų Vakarų visuomenėje. Miesto planavimas turėtų būti koncentruojamas į organišką ryšį tarp žmonių ir jų gyvenamųjų erdvių. Miestų kultūroje (pirmasis leidimas – 1938) Mumfordas rašo, kad miestas – tai Žemės produktas, gamtos įvykis, žmogiškosios išraiškos metodas. Tai taip pat reiškia, kad tiek projektuotojas, tiek vartotojas turi būti itin kūrybiškas, idant suprojektuotų ir panaudotų sukurtą aplinką. Analizuodamas miesto apibrėžimą, Mumfordas nagrinėja jo kaitą istorijoje nuo antikos laikų iki dabartinio planavimo metodo. Jis kritikuoja XX a. labiausiai įsivyravusius projektavimo procesus: funkcionalistinį ir mechaninį miesto projektavimą. Jis yra organinio metodo, taikomo miestams planuoti ir suprasti, šalininkas. Organiškas požiūris reikalauja aktyvaus ir kūrybiško požiūrio, priešpriešinamo grynai pasyviam suvokimui.Šis organiškas Mumfordo požiūris, suprantant miestus, grindžiamas Kevino A. Lyncho teorija. Galime išskirti tris normatyvinius miesto planavimo teorijos būdus: 1) kosminį; 2) mechaninį; 3) organinį modelį.Straipsnyje pirmiausia taikomas svogūninis kultūros modelis, kurį miestui ir jo analizei, taip pat jų kūrybiškumo pasireiškimui sukūrė Geertas Hofstede. Paskui nagrinėjamas miestas, pasitelkiant ypatingą, architektūra grindžiamą proto žemėlapio teoriją – penkis Lyncho elementus. Lynchas teigia, kad šie penki elementai (takai, pakraščiai, rajonai, susikirtimo taškai, peizažai) kuria mentalinį reglamentavimo žemėlapį. Galiausiai tyrinėjama, kaip proto žemėlapis naudojamas šiuolaikiniam miestui planuoti (Le Corbusier) ir kokią įtaką daro „debabilizacijos“ procesui (Otto Neurathas).

In the XX century, the city became a problem and challenge to a new, developing urban design consciousness. At first, rational approaches to the city promised bright prospects, which can still be felt today in the graphics of Le Corbusier or L. Hilberseimer. However, only the Renaissance could afford conceiving the city in only one perspective. The XX century needs comprehensive technologies, but the most advanced system of calculation, regulation and control should be based on something that generates the very idea of the city. Fruitless technologies taken as tools need to be boosted by creative, inspiring, although nonstrict, ideas. The nature and metamorphoses of such ideas are discussed in the article.

Evinç Doğan (2016). Image of Istanbul, Impact of ECoC 2010 on The City Image. London: Transnational Press London. [222 pp, RRP: £18.75, ISBN: 978-1-910781-22-7]The idea of discovering or creating a form of uniqueness to differentiate a place from others is clearly attractive. In this regard, and in line with Ashworth (2009), three urban planning instruments are widely used throughout the world as a means of boosting a city’s image: (i) personality association - where places associate themselves with a named individual from history, literature, the arts, politics, entertainment, sport or even mythology; (ii) the visual qualities of buildings and urban design, which include flagship building, signature urban design and even signature districts and (iii) event hallmarking - where places organize events, usually cultural (e.g., European Capital of Culture, henceforth referred to as ECoC) or sporting (e.g., the Olympic Games), in order to obtain worldwide recognition.

Film Unyil puppet comes not just part of the entertainment world that can be enjoyed by people from the side of the story, music, and dialogue. However, there is more value in it which is a manifestation of the creator that can be absorbed into the charge for the benefit of educating the children of Indonesia to the public at large. The Unyil puppet created by the father of Drs. Suyadi is one of the works that are now widely known by the whole people of Indonesia. The process of creating a puppet Unyil done with simple materials and formation of character especially adapted to the realities of the existing rural region. Through this process, this research leads to the design process is fundamentally educational puppet inspired by the creation of Si Unyil puppet. The difference is the inspiring character created in this study is on the characters that exist in urban life, especially the city of Jakarta. Thus the results of this study are the pattern of how to shape the design of products through the creation of the puppet with the approach of urban culture.
