Post-industrial waterfronts are spaces in transition. Waterfront land will be redeveloped eventually, and until that time, planners must tum to new approaches for these transitional spaces, with a goal to activate and animate them. Animation strategies can be used in any post-industrial or transitional space, but in waterfronts, they are essential. This paper discusses two case studies. Gas Works Park and Landscape Park Duisburg-Nord are public space projects in which animation techniques have fostered transformation and engagement of the public. Several typologies of post-industrial space illustrate the animation techniques described within the case studies. The paper evaluates these techniques or strategies and applies them to a post-industrial area slated for redevelopment, Toronto's Port Lands. Key Words: post-industrial space, waterfront, animation, loose space, ephemeral landscapes.

Thesis Statement This thesis will explore the development and design opportunities related to the retrofitting of abandoned railroad corridors in post industrial cities. These lines of infrastructure will be viewed as the lifelines of the city whereby, the ramifications of main transportation arteries will impact the urban network through connectivity and the creation of public open space. This thesis will look at obsolete public railroad infrastructure, as an important fragment of the collective memory of a post-industrial city that can be reactivated to connect back into the transportation urban network. These structures will be identified as landmarks that must be preserved and incorporated into public space and amenity. The reestablishment of the railroad in this context will result in the connection of the contemporary to its past, creating more meaningful and resonant spaces. These transportation corridors will be addressed as part of expanding ecological and man-made systems, thus becoming lifelines of the city, expanding their arteries to feed life into the urban fabric. The natural areas affected by these railroads will be treated as the lungs of the city and made more accessible to the public in order to raise ecological awareness. The railroad thus creates permeability, linking urban and natural areas and reviving its former function of connectivity by re-stitching the urban fabric.

The Public Sphere

- The research on public space is characterized by four different concepts: first, the equivalence between public space and public sphere, directly impinging upon politics; second, the history and construction of social identities, where memory plays a central role; third, the encounter with strangers that should educate to tolerance; fourth, the practice of living together, at the foundation both of urbanity and civil respect. The first three concepts state that public space is eroded, due to the privatization of the public sphere. The last one criticizes this belief, and suggests instead investigating the field of practices that combine resistance to urban change, and the experimentation of new forms of urbanity.Key words: public space, urbanity, planning, social practices, cities, inclusion.Parole chiave: housing, planning, abitare, pratiche sociali, istituzionalizzazione, cornici cognitive.

Abstract Physical distancing is part of the design process affected by the spread of Covid-19. 4 work precedents use physical distancing due to the Covid-19 as part of the problem that must be overcome by adapting and finding new design strategies. This paper analyses a precedent study on a public space design proposal designed for post-Covid-19. This paper aims to provide an overview of the design strategy concept to become a design reference as a solution to Covid-19 Pandemic. The method used in this paper is a precedent method by analysing the case studies that relate between public space and physical distancing with placemaking and physical elements. The results of this paper show that the various functions of the public space proposal show a variety of design approaches in the form of public with considering the physical distancing.

ABSTRAK. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap pemahaman tentang ruang publik pada rumah tinggal masyarakat Jawa. Untuk itu dipilih rumah-rumah tradisional masyarakat Jawa tipe joglo di desa Jagalan Kotagede Yogyakarta sebagai representasi aspek bentuk. Untuk representasi aspek fungsi dipilih tiga adat dan upacara daur hidup yaitu kelahiran, perkawinan dan kematian. Pendekatan dasar yang digunakan adalah strukturalisme yang dikembangkan oleh Levi Strauss dikombinasikan dengan pengkategorisasian aspek dalam arsitektur oleh Capon dan perputaran aspek fungsi – bentuk – makna oleh Salura dan Fauzy. Langkah yang dilakukan dalam penelitian ini adalah mengungkap struktur permukaan aspek fungsi dengan menelusuri elemen-elemen dan relasi sintagmatik dari kegiatan pada adat dan upacara kelahiran, perkawinan dan kematian. Pada saat yang sama juga dilakukan pengungkapan struktur permukaan aspek bentuk melalui penelusuran elemen-elemen dan relasi sintagmatik dari rumah-rumah kasus studi. Langkah berikutnya adalah melakukan analisis oposisi biner untuk mendapatkan relasi paradigmatik antara struktur permukaan aspek fungsi dan struktur permukaan aspek bentuk. Hasilnya kemudian diinterpretasi lebih lanjut dengan mengkaitkannya dengan konsep-konsep yang hidup dalam masyarakat. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa ruang publik pada rumah tinggal masyarakat Jawa merupakan bagian integral masyarakat Jawa dalam rangka menemukan keselamatan dalam hidup. Kata Kunci : ruang publik, makna, rumah tradisional, Kotagede. ABSTRACT. This research is aimed to explore the understanding of public space within Javanese traditional house. For this reason, it has been chosen some Javanese traditional houses known as Joglo House as case studies. Those houses are located in Jagalan Village, Kotagede Yogyakarta which will represent as form aspect. To represent function aspect, it has been conducted three ritual life cycle ceremony consist birth, marriage and death. The basic approach that has been used is structuralism which has been developed by Levi Strauss and has been combined with aspect categorization in architecture by Capon as well as rotation aspect of function-form-meaning by Salura and Fauzy. Steps taken in this research is describing the surface structure of function aspect by exploring elements and sintagmatic relation from the activities of ritual ceremony of birth, marriage and death. In the same time, it will describe the surface structure of form aspect through exploring elements and sintagmatic relation of case studies conducted. Next step is by doing binary opposition analysis to get paradigmatic relation between surface structure of function aspect and form aspect. The result will be interpretated more by relating with the concept of living within community. Analysis result has shown that public space on Javanese traditional house is an integral part of Javanese community in a term to find a safety life.         Key Words : public space, meaning, traditional house, Kotagede

Resumen Con este artículo, propongo un acercamiento analítico a dos series de fotografías, Pulsaciones y Utterances, de la que soy autora, que cuestionan el estatus fotográfico de la imagen y que ayudan a definir las diferencias y paralelismos entre lo entendido por fotografía documental y fotografía callejera. Ambas series se establecen a partir de fotografías “robadas” que persiguen visibilizar a la mujer y sus modos de ocupar el espacio público desde prácticas ciudadanas que revelan problemáticas de equidad y diferencia en relación al género. Con esta aproximación conceptual, dichas series -articuladas como conjuntos diagramáticos de imágenes- enfatizan la conveniencia de una sintaxis visual, organizativa de la narración y el discurso. Se pretende apoyar, de este modo, un tipo de fotografía callejera, causal, instantánea y operante, que desde esa instantaneidad recupere autenticidad y promueva una dialéctica entre el compromiso sociopolítico y la realidad. Palabras clave: Fotografía, documental, callejera, mujer, género, sociopolítico. Abstract With this article, I propose an analytical approach to two series of photographs, of which I am the author, that questions the photographic status of the image and helps to define the differences and parallelims between what is understood by documentary photography and street photography. Both series are based on "stolen" photographs that seek to make women visible and their ways of occupying the public space during citizen practices that reveal issues of equity and difference in relation to gender. With this conceptual approach, these series -articulated as diagrammatic sets of images- emphasize the convenience of a visual, organizational syntax of narration and discourse. The aim is to support, in this way, a type of street photography, causal, instantaneous and operative, that recovers authenticity from instantaneity and promote a dialectic between sociopolitical commitment and reality. Key words: Photography, documnetary, street, woman, gender, sociopolitical.

AbstractFrom a linguistic point of view, this article deals with election poster busting, a widespread practice in which the elements of the text type “election poster” and its text-image-combinations are alienated by processes of resemiotisation. In addition to a corpus-based typology of the practices used in this context, a qualitative analysis of case studies from the Bundestag election campaign 2017 shows that satirical-playful, thematic-discursive and successive (and thus complex) alienation practices are carried out during poster busting. Depending on the respective practices, this can lead to differently pronounced blend of text pattern, i. e. Textmustermischungen (Fix 2008a), which are characterized by a change in content and function. Thus, the function of CAMPAIGNING, which is written into the original poster, is surpassed by that of CRITICISING which not only questions the individual poster but also the communicative power relations in the public space.

A situated practice explores one artist’s approach to navigating the shifts and changes inherent in the public space of the post-industrial city and suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. Collaborative, ephemeral, site-specific, relational works in three specific sites; Station Pier in Port Melbourne, automated pedestrian crossings throughout the city, and at the Western Treatment Plant, the sewerage facility on the western edge of Melbourne’s urban sprawl, explore everyday public sites to stake a claim for the imagination. Engaging with the work of critical theorists including Rosi Braidotti, Franco Bifo Berardi and Donna Haraway I am interested in how the abstraction of ordinary experiences and spaces allow artists and audience to co-constitute the possibility of something other, triggering fleeting transformative acts of imagination. Through this body of work, I am learning how to leave the marks of care for the future and ‘stay with the trouble.’ (Haraway, 2016, p.10).

Através da leitura que Heidegger faz de Aletheia, Arendt vincula a noção de verdade à de aparência ao custo de desmantelar a conhecida dicotomia entre o ser verdadeiro e a mera aparência, deslocando a verdade do domínio dos noumena ao dos phenomena enquanto reino da visibilidade, o domínio doxástico da ação política. Doxa como desvelamento não mais nos conduz à adequação cognitiva do self interno, mas antes à dimensão arendtiana cognitiva interpessoal de seres humanos no mundo: quem nós somos no espaço público. Será mostrado que não há nenhuma contradição entre dialética e persuasão, na medida em que Arendt desloca o registro positivo da doxa em direção a suas considerações sobre a faculdade de julgar, reforçando a primazia da comunicabilidade, pluralidade e diversidade de pontos de vista na construção da doxa quando alguém constitui sua visão particular e única no mundo. Finalmente, mostrar-se-á que a amizade deve ser tomada como o tipo de insight político por excelência, enquanto praxis de ver o mundo a partir da perspectiva do outro. PALAVRAS-CHAVE – Amizade espaço público. Comunicabilidade. Doxa, praxis. ABSTRACT Through Heidegger’s reading of Aletheia, Arendt links the notion of truth to appearance at the expense of dismantling the well-known dichotomy between true being and mere appearance, displacing truth from the domain of noumena to the realm of phenomena which is the realm of visibility, the doxastic domain of political action. Doxa as uncovering no longer leads to the cognitive adequation of the inner self, but rather to Arendt’s main interpersonal dimension of men into the appearing world: who we are in the public space. Thus, it will be asserted that there is by no means sheer contradiction between the dialectics and persuasion. It will also be claimed that Arendt displaces the positive account of doxa toward her considerations on the faculty of judging, reinforcing the primacy of communicability, plurality and diversity of viewpoints in building up someone’s doxa, in how one constitutes ones particular view and uniqueness, into the world. Finally, friendship is claimed to hold the political kind of insight par excellence, as the praxis of seeing the world from the other’s viewpoint. KEY WORDS – Communicability. Doxa. Friendship. Praxis. Public space.
