Aspiring global cities, such as Taipei City in Taiwan, seek to accumulate cultural capital. For future-oriented local and global self-representation, they design cutting-edge contemporary museums. This paper analyzes the “urban imaginary” as constructed by new urban museumscapes. Choosing a case-study approach, it explores the embedding of a vanguard art museum project in Taiwan – the New Taipei City Museum of Art in Taipei – into long-term urban planning strategies. In order to understand the purpose and process of how the new museum of contemporary art. is devised as a public space of cultural self-representation and urban identity building, the study monitors the complete design process from the city government’s urban and institutional planning strategy to the architectural design. Evidence shows that the pathways of urban place-making for art and through art and design in Taipei are strongly determined by the historical role and current geopolitical repositioning of the city.

This paper explores how design in the public realm can integrate city data to help disseminate the information embedded within it and provide urban opportunities for knowledge exchange. The hypothesis is that such art and design practices in public spaces, as places of knowledge exchange, may enable more sustainable communities and cities through the visualization of data. To achieve this, we developed a methodology to compare various design approaches for integrating three main elements in public-space design projects: city data, specific issues of sustainability, and varying methods for activating the data. To test this methodology, we applied it to a pedogeological project where students were required to render city data visible. We analyze the proposals presented by the young designers to understand their approaches to design, data, and education. We study how they “educate” and “dialogue” with the community about sustainable issues. Specifically, the research attempts to answer the following questions: (1) How can we use data in the design of public spaces as a means for sustainability knowledge exchange in the city? (2) How can community-based design contribute to innovative data collection and dissemination for advancing sustainability in the city? (3) What are the overlaps between the projects’ intended impacts and the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? Our findings suggest that there is a need for such creative practices, as they make information available to the community, using unconventional methods. Furthermore, more research is needed to better understand the short- and long-term outcomes of these works in the public realm.

<em>The design of Urban Resort motivated by the increasing number of tourists coming to the city of Solo as increasing tourism potential. The increasing number of tourist coming and tourist potential are not accompanied by an increase in the numbers LOS (Length Of Stay) and the availability of lodging facilities that accommodate in Solo. The purpose of this scheme is to get a building design that is able to accommodate the needs of lodging accommodations and recreation in the form of a resort hotel in the center of the city of Solo with the implementation of ecological architecture as a form of support to the Government to make Solo as an ecological city. Design issues are: how the concept of ecological architecture can be applied in the design of Urban Resort in Surakarta. The method used is the method of architectural design with mix of the theory about ecological architecture with Government Regulation about requirements of five star resort hotel. The results obtained are the design of urban resort as a means of lodging accommodations, and public space as a tourist attraction and people who apply the concept of ecology architecture on the shape and appearance of the building. So that the building can give the impression of a comfortable and natural even though the resort hotel located in the middle city of Solo.</em>

Alternative forms of housing continue to develop along with the emergence of various problems from the massive vertical housing development in cities today, ranging from physical problems to the area to social problems among residents of vertical housing themselves. The domination of private space and the lack of public space has created a passive residential environment with minimal interaction. This has resulted in a lack of social control among residents who have made vertical housing a place that is prone to crime, such as several apartments in Jakarta which are known as locations for hidden prostitution, and even suicides. The city of Jakarta is one of the cities that has experienced massive vertical housing development. There needs to be a solution to solve settlement problems in the city of Jakarta through the scientific field of architecture with the concept of digital housing for communities. The purpose of this study is to implement the concept of digital shelter for communities supported by supporting theories oriented to human interaction in an architectural design object system in the form of vertical housing supported by digital equipment or technology. Keywords: Digital; Interactive; Living AbstrakAlternatif bentuk hunian terus berkembang seiring dengan timbulnya beragam permasalahan dari pembangunan hunian vertikal yang masif di perkotaan saat ini, mulai dari permasalahan fisik bangunan terhadap kawasan hingga permasalahan sosial di antara penghuni hunian vertikal sendiri. Dominasi ruang privat dan minimnya ruang publik telah menciptakan lingkungan hunian yang pasif dan minim interaksi. Hal ini menimbulkan kurangnya kontrol sosial di antara penghuni yang telah menjadikan hunian vertikal sebagai tempat yang rawan akan tindak kriminalitas, seperti beberapa apartemen di Kota Jakarta yang dikenal sebagai lokasi prostitusi terselubung, bahkan kasus bunuh diri. Kota Jakarta merupakan salah satu kota yang mengalami perkembangan hunian vertikal yang cukup massif. Perlu adanya solusi untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan permukiman di Kota Jakarta melalui bidang keilmuan arsitektur dengan konsep hunian digital untuk komunitas. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengimplementasikan konsep Hunian digital untuk Komunitas yang didukung oleh teori-teori pendukung yang berorientasi pada interaksi manusia di dalam sistem objek perancangan arsitektur berupa hunian vertikal yang di dukung dengan peralatan atau teknologi digital.

This paper investigates the links between architecture and its social purpose and focuses specifically on the building and institution known today as the Public Open University Zagreb (Pučko otvoreno učilište Zagreb – POUZ), which was previously called Moša Pijade Workers' (and People's) University (Radničko (i narodno) sveučilište "Moša Pijade" – RANS). The paper examines the innovative and experimental nature of the architectural concept of socially engaged architecture as part of the societal modernisation of the 1950s and 1960s, as well as changes to its function up to the present post-socialist condition. The authors discuss the complex relationship between employees, beneficiaries, programmes and the architectural design and the political, economic and social context. The aim is to explore sociocultural categories and how culture, work, education and the city interacted with one another during different time periods. By using theoretical and methodological insights gleaned from cultural anthropological approaches to space and architecture, the paper demonstrates how the identity, significance and values ascribed to the production of public space were shaped, medialized and modified through time.

Throughout the centuries Beirut has had an endless capacity for reinvention and transformation, a consequence of migration, conquest, trade, and internal conflict. the last three decades have witnessed the city center's violent self–destruction, its commercial resurrection, and most recently its national contestation, as oppositional political forces have sought to mobilize mass demonstrations and occupy strategic space. While research has been directed to the transformative processes and the principal actors involved, little attention has been given to how the next generation of Lebanese are negotiating Beirut's rehabilitation. This article seeks to address this lacuna, by exploring how postwar youth remember, imagine, and spatially encounter their city. How does Beirut's rebuilt urban landscape, with its remnants of war, sites of displacement, and transformed environs, affect and inform identity, social interaction, and perceptions of the past? Drawing on Henri Lefebvre's analysis of the social construction of space (perceived, conceived, and lived) and probing the inherent tensions within postwar youths’ encounters with history, memory, and heritage, the article presents a dynamic and complex urban imaginary of Beirut. An examination of key urban sites (Solidère's Down Town) and significant temporal moments (Independence Intifada) reveals three recurring tensions evident in Lebanese youth's engagement with their city: dislocation and liberation, spectacle and participant, pluralism and fracture. This article seeks to encourage wider discussion on the nature of postwar recovery and the construction of rehabilitated public space, amidst the backdrop of global consumerism and heritage campaigns.

Abstract:. The development of public space in urban forest areas as has been done on the Cikapundung Terrace has an influence on the improvement and structuring of the city of Bandung in other regions, as well as a great potential to become a natural tourist attraction. Since the city of Bandung, led by the mayor of Ridwan Kamil, has made rapid progress as a tourist city that has various tourist variants, such as nature tourism, culinary tourism, textile tourism etc., to have more than 100 popular city sights. In this case, the Cikapundung Terrace is one of the benchmarks, as an area within the city that has successfully transformed from a dirty and slum area that pollutes the surrounding environment into a tourist area that is popular and popular with people in and out of the city from various social strata. In the Urban Planning study approach, this phenomenon is a tangible manifestation of the efforts of the City Government to create a public space that is accommodating and well integrated and can be accessed by a large part of the urban community which is then referred to as Urban Space. This is in accordance with the City Government's vision and mission to preserve the environment based on the rules and regulations regarding Open Space.The influence that is felt for the people of Bandung from the revitalization of the Cikapundung river is from the aspect of economic, social and healthy lifestyles, in the economic aspect, regional development such as this has succeeded in providing wider tourism opportunities that can involve local communities to develop independent business activities such as selling around the area, etc., in the social aspect, people interact more with each other in a positive and active communal space, and in the aspect of a healthy lifestyle, the community becomes motivated to contribute to advancing the region by maintaining cleanliness and environmental health. Keyword: Public Space, Urban Space, Open Space Abstract:.

This paper attempts to reveal the importance of the everyday temporal living space on the street as the agency to improve the quality of life in the city. The temporal living space is the collective public space that is produced by the local inhabitants as the response to fulfil their sociocultural needs. This study employed time-based behavioural and spatial mappings to reveal how spatial alteration was employed by the locals, producing the particular spatial programming and atmospheres that allowed the interiorization of the street. The mappings would also reveal how the interaction of the local inhabitants within this temporal living space had impacts on the general wellbeing and the spatial identity of the city. The findings of this study were translated into an interior architectural design exercise, by developing design methods that were adopted from the locals’ spatial mechanisms in producing their temporal outdoor living spaces.

This article analyzes the main problems of urban public spaces, because today public spaces can determine the future of cities. It is noted that parks are multifunctional public spaces in the urban environment, as they are an important element of the citywide system of landscaping and recreation, perform health, cultural, educational, aesthetic and environmental functions. The article notes that the need for easily accessible and well-maintained urban parks remains, however, the state of parks in many cities of Russia remains unsatisfactory, requiring reconstruction. A brief historical background of the Park of Culture and Rest of the Soviet period in Omsk is expounded, the analysis of the existing territory of the Park is presented. It is revealed that the Park, being the largest public space in Omsk, does not meet the requirements of modern urbanism, although it represents a great potential for designing the space for the purpose of recreation of citizens. Performed functional zoning scheme of the territory of the Park in question, where its division into functional areas destined for active recreational users of the Park is presented, considered the interests of senior citizens, people with limited mobility, etc. Reconstruction of Parks of the Soviet period can provide the city with additional recreational opportunities, as well as increase its tourist attractiveness.
