Evaluation of Street in Luohu District of Shenzhen on Semantic of Street Image

Based on the theoretical extension of the greening vision and the application practice of streetscape big data, the average green vision rate within the planned green area coverage block of Luohu District, Shenzhen is calculated by PHOTOSHOP and FCN software, and the differences in spatial distribution and current status characteristics between its 3D green vision rate and the management unit control guidance map of Shenzhen Green Space System Planning (2014-2030) are explored, and the results show that the green space rate in the main urban area of Luohu District, Shenzhen is 36.78%, which is much better than the average level of major cities in the world, but there is still a gap compared with the management unit control guidance map of Shenzhen Green Space System Planning (2014-2030), and this paper proposes optimization suggestions for the current deficiency.

SPATIAL PATTERNS OF ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES IN KRAPYAK DISTRICT, YOGYAKARTA

Krapyak District is one of the significant areas in Yogyakarta, crossed by thePhilosophical Axis stretching from Tugu in the North to Panggung Krapyak inthe South end. The Javanese philosophy of Sangkan Paraning Dumadi lieswithin the axis. In 2017, based on the Special Region of YogyakartaGovernor's Decree Number 108, this axis was designated as the part of thecultural heritage. As stated in the decree, the areas around the philosophicalaxis must represent the meaning of Sangkan Paraning Dumadi, both in termsof activities and spaces. Furthermore, the presence of Islamic boardingschools, also known as pesantren, helps to transform Krapyak District into asolid Islamic community. This study aims to identify the relation betweenactivity patterns and the built environment in Krapyak District. The harmonybetween activity patterns, the built environment, and the meaning of acomplex philosophical axis of Krapyak District is fascinating to investigate,especially in light of the district's environmental issues. This study used adeductive approach with a descriptive-qualitative method based on thebehavioral space system model of place-centered mapping. It is concludedthat there are three layers of activity and space, namely the religious layer,the socio-cultural layer, and the philosophical axis layer, that interact oneanother with some specific spatial patterns.

A Landscape Matrix Proposal For Haliç (Golden Horn) Coastal Zone

The impacts of urbanization on landscapes andecosystems have been increasing globally. Howurban landscape is shaped, in other wordsdesigned, is a fundamental human activity interms of urban sustainability. Landscape is oftendealed with mostly by aesthetic concerns whichpresents sustainable/ecological/naturalqualities only at formal level, is limited bylegislative framework, hardly responds tohuman needs and behavioral patterns and lacksa holistic approach within the Turkish spatialdesign practice. This study aims to develop alandscape matrix in the example of Istanbul(Golden Horn) region as an open spaceoperation model within the existing urbantexture, which the built environment has beenrepresented with different layers of historicaldevelopments. The matrix presented in thisstudy presents a design process on the basis ofurban ecology as well as the physical and socialrelations of the study area located in the GoldenHorn, one of the cultural identity values ofIstanbul, formed by urban layers belonging todifferent historical periods. It is thought that theconstruction of the coastal and hinterlandrelationship through the open space system bothcontributes to the dissolution of the urbantexture towards the coastal zone andstrengthens the character of the waterfront.

Modern Details in Meaningful Architecture

Architecture is the art of shaping space, system, and technology. A close relationship is established between the building and its user, as the facility provides shelter and communicates with the inhabitants by meanings encoded in the form. The reception of architecture occurs through an ideological narrative and the quality of construction and material solutions. Contemporary pro-environmental postulates exert an increasingly clear influence on how architecture is shaped, especially on its aesthetic and semantic solutions. In this context, the article refers to the interdependence between art and technology in shaping the architecture of meanings through detail. The work aims to expand qualitative research on shaping contemporary detail in the context of pro-environmental trends in architecture. The detail was selected based on its clear message—its meaning provides the leading feature of the structure, both in technical (engineering solutions) and semantic (narrative) terms. The article provides an attempt to answer the question of how a semantic detail should be shaped, with the account to contemporary concepts on sustainable development architecture. A synthetic-comparative methodology was adopted; specific groups of completed objects were analyzed in the context of the indicated topics. The conclusions from this part of the work constitute case study guidelines, which was conducted on the example of an original project.
