Urban development is a process of continuous growth, in which historic context as a contact clues, has determined the regional expression of the city. Based on the regional context, taking regional city as research object, through analyzing the regional urban design theory development trend and practical problems, this paper tries to introduce the concepts of “gene recombination” into urban design of regional city, and takes the urban design of waterfront district of Yuanjiang county, Yunnan province for case study. It applies the method which expresses the context of “extraction-repair-integration” to reconstruct the regional context from three aspects of natural condition and physical space, social and cultural environment, economic and technical support. And it promotes integrating among regional natural, humanistic environment and material space form, and then achieves the goal of expression and continuation of cities with regional characteristics. At the same time, it would give a inspiring thinking way for the research on regional urban design.

The City

The emerging concern for urban environment is currently one of the most essential ingredients of urban design theory. A commercial activity within the extents of the modern city dwells in one such environment. The post-industrialization era has served severe limitations on the natural development of commercial activities, retailing being one of them. Today, the rather unusual transformation of retail activity has been largely endorsed on accounts of ease and comfort. However, this change has surfaced various shortcomings in terms of sustainability. This study aims to explore an existing retail activity in the context of Karachi. The main objective of the study is to find ways to upgrade the environment of the area in which this retail activity exists. The study aims to achieve this without subscribing to the insensitive and inorganic design solutions prevalent in contemporary times. The study also aims to develop a prototype which can serve other commercial spaces within the precincts of the city and beyond. Providing convenience of use to various stakeholders involved remains at the core of the study. The study derives a theoretical foundation through a focused literature review. Examples from other contexts are also referred. The study essentially comprises both qualitative and quantitative data which are carefully extracted from personal observations, structured questionnaires and visual documentation. Key Words: Environmental upgradation, Commercial space, Retail activity, Pedestrian circulation, Traffic congestion.

AbstractThe wave of “digital age” featuring digital information is coming. Digital technology is profoundly changing the societal development direction and evolution paths. It also has significant bearing on production modes, social interactions and lifestyles. With regard to urban design, a system of knowledge about the creation and adaptation of material space forms that integrate humanities, art, technology and materials, digital technology has provided it with a brand-new and revolutionary scientific impetus for its evolution. The result of this evolution is “digital urban design paradigm based on human-computer interaction”, i.e., the urban development is moving toward “pan-dimensionality” and “individual ubiquity”. The future of urban design will construct a new approach to urban research and engineering, which is more complex, capable of accommodating and compatible with multiple goals of “instrumental rationality” and “value rationality”. Such a new approach shall be led by the probabilistic theory of “gray scale thinking”, reflecting quaternary synergetic view of “scientific rationality, ecological rationality, cultural rationality and technical rationality” to realize the cognitive progress of “engineering for the benefit of mankind”.

The City

As destination of choice for many short-term study abroad programs, Berlin offers students of German language, culture and history a number of sites richly layered with significance. The complexities of these sites and the competing narratives that surround them are difficult for students to grasp in a condensed period of time. Using approaches from the spatial humanities, this article offers a case study for enhancing student learning through the creation of digital maps and itineraries in a campus-based course for subsequent use during a three-week program in Berlin. In particular, the concept of deep mapping is discussed as a means of augmenting understanding of the city and its history from a narrative across time to a narrative across the physical space of the city. As itineraries, these course-based projects were replicated on site. In moving from the digital environment to the urban landscape, this article concludes by noting meanings uncovered and narratives formed as we moved through the physical space of the city.

Automation Framework

Cyberphysical system design automation utilizing knowledge based engineering techniques with globally networked knowledge bases can tremendously improve the design process for emerging systems. Our goal is to develop a comprehensive architectural framework to improve the design process for cyberphysical systems (CPS) and implement a case study with Axiomatic Design Solutions Inc. to develop next generation toolsets utilizing knowledge-based engineering (KBE) systems adapted to multiple domains in the field of CPS design automation. The Cyberphysical System Design Automation Framework (CPSDAF) will be based on advances in CPS design theory based on current research and knowledge collected from global sources automatically via Semantic Web Services. A case study utilizing STEM students is discussed.
