<p>The appearance of buildings is the result of a historical process that has left its imprint on them in at all its stages, particularly when this process has involved a constant change of uses, entailing continuous refurbishments and extensions. The building studied here is unusual in that it is the result of contributions by three major architects in the history of Spanish architecture: Lorenzo Vázquez, who introduced the Renaissance into Spain; Alonso de Covarrubias, one of its leading architects, and Ricardo Velázquez Bosco, perhaps the prime exponent of Spanish eclecticism. Their work, and that of others, mainly linked to the uses to which the building has been put, have created the structure as it stands today. This paper provides an overview of its history, how it has been enriched and how it has suffered irreparable losses, and examines how those changes led to the constant urban transformation of the surrounding area, in the urban fabric of the city.</p>

In contemporary society – according to Dennis Potter’s dictum – citizens have been transformed into consumers. The shift in social power behind this process is mirrored in the changing shape of the city. Tel Aviv, founded just eighty five years ago, is an extreme example of the interaction between urban conceptions and configurations and dominant social forces. By means of a schematic section through the history of the city, this paper attempts an assessment of the role of those forces and conceptions – or their absence – in determining the nature and scope of the present transformations of the urban fabric. Tel-Aviv is an assemblage of past and recent urban utopias, constrained by conditions, scaled-down and transformed, but still identifiable and influential. Partly “collision city” and partly “collage city” – in Colin Rowe’s terms – its growth, while chronologically continuous, resulted in a fragmented pattern; each district reflecting the urban ideals and historical conditions under which it came into being. Four determinant stages can be detected in the ascent of the city.

We consider the question of urban transformation of former industrial areas in modern cities. The legacy of the industrial past, city gets the vast areas not functioning plants, river ports, storage areas, burdened with a dysfunctional environment. The including of these areas in the functioning urban fabric is proposed. From the analysis of foreign experience, we can see that such initiatives can become the main vector of development of modern construction and urban technologies.

AbstractThe only building which has been preserved from the ancient urban fabric of Tripoli, Oea in antiquity, is the Triumphal Arch. By considering Arab sources, we may shed new light on its evolution, the place it had been in the past and the way it was considered during those times. If we compare two excerpts from Arab-Muslim historiography, written by local travellers, with Western testimonies, we see that the monument was reinterpreted in the light of the new culture which was established in the region and of the local history of the city.

During the 21st century, urban transformation of cities has been intensely affected by flows of socio-economic and technological processes. Through the centuries, such as all historical places in Mesopotamia, Baghdad has given an outstanding example of dramatic evolution. The city, which stands on the river Tigris, faced various transformation processes in the culture and physical environment due to social and political reasons. The transformation of Baghdad city is a very complicated process driven by various factors affecting the homogeneity of the old urban fabric. Reconfiguration and the production of new urban typologies within the heritage fabric were the most fundamental effects. The outcome was different spatial languages competing with each other. This transformation changed the relations and hierarchies among spaces, which allowed more flexibility and accessibility between private and public space. The main purpose of this study is to examine how Baghdad city emerged and to develop a comprehensive understanding of the history of urban transformation in the context of city change. To achieve this aim, this paper will utilise urban morphology to explain how Baghdad transformed from a geometric city (the Round City AD762 by Caliph Al-Mansur) to an organic form and then from a traditional city to the modern metropolis. It will seek to analyse the process of urban transformation in Baghdad and show different types of urban patterns. Moreover, this paper will try to illustrate how the new way of transportation represented by the car has affected the historic centre and changed the structural system of Baghdad.

Karbala is one of the metropolitan cities in Iraq, its historic and religious centre has a long history, yet many of its buildings are under threat because of unclear conservation management due to urban transformation. The history of religious rituals and processions reflects an array of values, concepts and planning philosophy that has used the power of religion and holiness of the city as a source of homogeneity and integration. By looking at the mass-pilgrimage spatial practices to the Holy Shrines in Karbala city centre and the adaptation by its residents of their domestic neighbourhoods, this paper analyses the spatial conditions of the city and offers insights into a set of factors that have shaped its historical evolution and urban spaces.    The paper is in three parts; first, it discusses the causes of the urban transformation in this holy city. Secondly, it documents a set of everyday practices and problems in Karbala city, focusing on the urban level (the traditional fabric), following the analytical method of the historic evolution of Karbala as a religious centre as well as the incompatibility of the modern development with the centre’s historical heritage.  Thirdly, it analyses the transformation of the urban structure by discussing the characteristics of the historical centre and the role of legislation in urban transformation of traditional city centres.

Urban identity is formed by the entire values and characteristics of a city. Urban transformation is the strategies and activities for maintaining environmental quality and life balance. The concepts of urban identity and urban transformation, which have been quite popular in Turkey recently, are the grounds of this study. The socio-cultural and economic conditions, which have changed as a result of globalization experienced all over the world, make it compulsory to re-shape cities, so urban identity concept has gradually become more important. The aim of this study is to reveal disidentification in Turkey caused by urban transformation implementations, particularly via the example of Isparta. As Isparta is a typical Anatolian city developed after the proclamation of the Republic, it was considered worthy of analysis. At the end of the study, It was observed that Isparta had developed in terms of planning until 1960s. It was concluded that turning points had occurred in urban transformation between the years 1960-1980 and after 1980, these turning points spoiled urban identity, and therefore, the city has developed and globalized without any identity since then.

Effects of modern thoughts during past century have changed the fabric of most of the cities all over the world. The globalization process is another round which imposes many changes in cities.  In this paper the history of formal changes of Tehran will be read hermeneutically according to this double round. The city of Tehran, like all others, faced many changes which transformed the urban fabric and this process will continue through the condition of globalization (like other cities worldwide). This paper gives a temporal cross section of changing typo-morphology of the city and shows how the traditional typo-morphological principles of the city is changed by the new and “modern” urban plans, from the most cellular single building lot to the structure of the city, drastically. In This paper the process of this change will be read in relation to legal and administrative process of change which selects and distributes specific kinds of building and block types to accelerate the development process. It will be described how this process ends to the condition which-in the city is right now. The modern changes brought the city to starting level of globalization changes and in past decades many new types have been penetrated the urban fabric. The present urban fabric is a combination of traditional, modern and contemporary types. At the end an agenda for a framework will be proposed which can lead the urban fabric to a situation which these three kinds of temporal typology have a dialogue with each other.

Cities, in the process of modernization, make historical progress parallel to the dynamics of capitalist development. Capitalism uses urban structures to overcome crises and increase the fluidity of capital. Changes in the labor force, agricultural policies, migration, urbanization or being otherized in the city, new consumption habits give clues of how capitalism uses the urban space to reproduce itself. In this article, which economic and sociological reasons emerged in the recent history of urban transformation, is examined. It is also the subject of the documentary how the transformation that has occurred since the 2000s has been shaped in line with the needs of capital in the transition to the new capitalist model. In this context, the questions raised in the documentary and the relationship between political economy and urban transformation were tried to be understood.
