Historic Area

<p>In April 2015, the city of Toronto selected a proposal for the Fort York Pedestrian and Cycle Bridge project in a design-build competition. The project is located just west of the main downtown area of Toronto and provides a key link between Stanley Park to the north and the historic area of Fort York – the birth place of Toronto- crossing two rail corridors. Construction started in August 2016 and inauguration is expected by June 2019.</p><p>The project includes two pedestrian bridges. The awarded design proposal includes an unprecedented technical innovation in North America: the use of Duplex Stainless Steel on the entire structure. This pioneering use of a forefront technology provides premium aesthetics within a unique setting in addition to a safe and durable asset for the community. The structure has an extended life cycle, is more corrosion-resistant and requires less maintenance, reducing its overall cost.</p><p>Each bridge is supported by a single arch rib inclining at 18 º to provide a slender, transparent, and elegant impression. The two arches tilt in opposite direction, and the overall layout resembles a Yin &amp; Yang shape to emphasize both contrast and continuity, expressing a modern, understated and elegant aesthetic.</p><p>This paper discusses the concept, detailed design, structural behaviour and bridge erection.</p>

In order to make the cities more liveable at night and to reflect the promised value of the city during the night, zone lighting should be considered rather than single building lighting. Zone lighting design prevents light pollution and provides a more comfortable perception of the desired elements in the city skyline. In this context, the factors affecting zonal lighting design were specified by literature study and stages of such design were determined. The axis of Mevlana – Mevlana Culture Centre, given the tourism potential at night in Konya, which is considered the capital of religious tourism in Turkey, was chosen as a study area and a lighting design proposal was prepared for this zone. According to plans, holistic zone lighting simulation models were created and the city skyline formed by illuminance at night was overviewed.

Land is a finite resource which does not support the low density suburban model on a large scale. The alternative, the urban condition, does not satisfy the needs of families. The goal is to define a middle ground, to create a hybrid, by taking the best qualities of the suburbs and urb to develop a new vision for the city. Is it possible to combine the typological characteristics and spatial qualities of the suburbs in an urban format where the disadvantages of the suburbs are mitigated by the multiplicity of urbanity? For the purpose of this thesis the design proposal is tested on Ijburg, Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The resultant hybrid is manifested through the mixing of different housing typologies both suburban and urban in conjunction with and elevated street which provides private access to individual units and public access to recreational and leisure facilities.

<p class="AbstractTitle"><em>The proposal aims to bring an accessible, time efficient, and secure design of Tugu Train Station in Yogyakarta City. Yogyakarta happens to be located strategically on the main routes of Java. It is one of the reasons why the city becomes a tourist destination, both domestic and international. Tugu Train Station manages to reach passengers number increase by 10-17% annually. The train station has a good prospect to be developed into a multifunctional train station. The design proposal rises some problems: designing exterior spaces which directs users to the site, interior spaces which makes users navigate easily, and a seamless, time efficient, and clear movement flow from the site to the building. The implementation of wayfinding method is based on post-occupancy evaluation of the existing compound in which confusing building layout creates difficulties in mobility for the passengers. Wayfinding method focuses on spatial organisation, movement flow organisation, and signage placement. This design proposal would expand existing train station buildings to provide more rooms in the anticipation of passenger increase for year to come; as well as to build new public facilities. Furthermore, the implementation of wayfinding method is expected to create an accessible, time efficient, and secure layout which in turn caters various types of passenger.</em></p>

Abstract The aim of the considerations presented in the article is to determine the developmental directions of the inner urban areas respecting and honouring the cultural heritage of Zielona Gora city. The formation of useful physical form of the urban lifestyle environment is particularly important in the process of urban regeneration. The article presents polemics with the planning documents and raises the issues related to urban green areas and street furniture. The design proposal shows one of the possibilities to bring the improperly developed areas back to the city. Every city is made of people and, therefore, it is essential for these people to have social awareness of individual influence on the shape of urban areas.

A multiplicidade de soluções decorrente da diversidade social, cultural, territorial existente nas cidades brasileiras, nem sempre têm constituído a base da formação dos arquitetos e urbanistas. No intuito de questionar essa realidade desenvolveu-se na disciplina Teoria e Projeto de Interesse social uma experiência junto à comunidade do assentamento rural na cidade de Porto Feliz/SP. A proposta foi o desenvolvimento de um projeto de arquitetura para a área de lazer da Agrovila a partir de conceitos relacionados: ao entendimento da realidade do lugar, cidadania e território cotidiano, arquiteto-cidadão, lazer, ambiente sustentável e processo de projeto participativo. Foi realizada uma oficina entre os assentados e os estudantes na qual, coletivamente, foram identificadas as demandas e necessidades, culminando na construção conjunta do programa. Ao final, foi realizada uma exposição coletiva dos projetos na universidade, na qual os assentados puderam interagir com os alunos e selecionar os projetos que melhor respondiam às suas necessidades. O êxito dessa iniciativa está relacionado ao contato estreito entre estudantes e comunidade, que proporcionou a participação daquele grupo no processo de projeto aliada a uma intensa troca de saberes, exemplificando um caminho para a incorporação da diversidade social, cultural e territorial brasileira na formação dos arquitetos e urbanistas. Abstract The multiplicity of solutions arising from the social, cultural, territorial diversity of Brazilian cities have not always been the basis for Brazilian architects' formation. To discuss this reality, an academic experience was developed on the discipline Theory and Interest Social Project together with the community of the rural settlement in the city of Porto Feliz / SP. The students developed a design proposal for the leisure area of the rural village. They worked with concepts related to the understanding of: the reality of the place, citizenship and daily territory; architect-citizen; leisure; environment and sustainable participatory process design. To identify the demands, needs and expectations for the leisure area a workshop took place in Porto Feliz with the participation of the community and the students, culminating in a collective construction of the architectural program. At the end, there was an exhibition of design proposals at the university, where the community members interacted with the students and selected the projects that best attended their needs. The success of this initiative is directly linked to the close contact between the students and the community, resulting in an intense exchange of knowledge, exemplifying a way to incorporate the architect’s formation the country social, cultural and territorial diversity.
