New Industrial Urbanism - Designing Places for Production (Hardcover): Tali Hatuka, Eran Ben-Joseph New Industrial Urbanism - Designing Places for Production (Hardcover)
Tali Hatuka, Eran Ben-Joseph
R3,990 Discovery Miles 39 900 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Since the Industrial Revolution, cities and industry have grown together; towns and metropolitan regions have evolved around factories and expanding industries. New Industrial Urbanism explores the evolving and future relationships between cities and places of production, focusing on the spatial implications and physical design of integrating contemporary manufacturing into the city. The book examines recent developments that have led to dramatic shifts in the manufacturing sector - from large-scale mass production methods to small-scale distributed systems; from polluting and consumptive production methods to a cleaner and more sustainable process; from broad demand for unskilled labor to a growing need for a more educated and specialized workforce - to show how cities see new investment and increased employment opportunities. Looking ahead to the quest to make cities more competitive and resilient, New Industrial Urbanism provides lessons from cases around the world and suggests adopting New Industrial Urbanism as an action framework that reconnects what has been separated: people, places, and production. Moving the conversation beyond the reflexively-negative characterizations of industry, more than two centuries after the start of the Industrial Revolution, this book calls to re-consider the ways in which industry creates places, sustains jobs, and supports environmental sustainability in our cities.

Regulating Place - Standards and the Shaping of Urban America (Hardcover, New): Eran Ben-Joseph, Terry S Szold Regulating Place - Standards and the Shaping of Urban America (Hardcover, New)
Eran Ben-Joseph, Terry S Szold
R4,008 Discovery Miles 40 080 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Regulating Place looks at how design standards have shaped the built environment of urban America. Tracing the history behind the evolution of building codes, the contributors examine the increasing influence of regulatory codes over urban design and planning during the past century. From the environment to housing to public space, the volume considers the positive and negative effects of regulation on American cities - particularly the merits of flexible approaches relative to more rigid, technocratic methods. Regulating Place also questions what sort of criteria should be used to measure regulatory success and what are the legal, political and economic implications of re-structuring standards and design guidelines.

ReNew Town - Adaptive Urbanism and the Low Carbon Community (Paperback, New): Andrew Scott, Eran Ben-Joseph ReNew Town - Adaptive Urbanism and the Low Carbon Community (Paperback, New)
Andrew Scott, Eran Ben-Joseph
R1,365 Discovery Miles 13 650 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

ReNew Town puts forth an innovative vision of performative design and planning for low-carbon sustainable development, and illustrates practicable strategies for balancing environmental systems with urban infrastructure and new housing prototypes.

To date, much of the discourse on the design of sustainable communities and eco-cities has been premised on using previously undeveloped land. In contrast, this book and the project it showcases focus on the retrofitting and adaptation of an existing environment a more common problem, given the extent of the world s already-built infrastructure.

Employing a research through design model of inquiry, the book focuses on large-scale housing developments especially those built around the world between the 1960s and the early 1980s with the aim of understanding how best to reinvent them. At the center of the book is Tama New Town, a planned community outside Tokyo that faces a range of challenges, such as an aging population, the deterioration of homes and buildings, and economic stagnation.

The book begins by outlining a series of principles that structure the ecological and energy goals for the community. It then develops prototypical solutions for designing, building and retrofitting neighborhoods. The intent is that these prototypes could be applied to similar urban conditions around the world.

ReNew Town is the product of a collaborative design research project at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) School of Architecture and Planning, and Japan s Sekisui House LTD.

The Code of the City - Standards and the Hidden Language of Place Making (Paperback): Eran Ben-Joseph The Code of the City - Standards and the Hidden Language of Place Making (Paperback)
Eran Ben-Joseph
R1,229 Discovery Miles 12 290 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Standards and codes dictate virtually all aspects of urban development. The same standards for subdividing land, grading, laying streets and utilities, and configuring rights-of-way and street widths to accommodate cars (rather than pedestrians) have been adopted in many areas of the world regardless of variations in local environments. In The Code of the City, Eran Ben-Joseph examines the relationship between standards and place making. He traces the evolution of codes and standards and analyzes their impact on the modern city and its suburbs, arguing that it is time for development regulations to reflect site-specific and localized physical design.Standards and codes were meant to bring order and safety to the city building process. But now, Ben-Joseph argues, these accumulated rules and their widespread application illustrate a disconnect between the original rationale for their existence and their actual effect on the natural and human environment. To discover how this separation of codes from local conditions came about, he looks at the origins of urban standards and their use, from early civilization through the rapid urbanization of the nineteenth century. He provides examples that demonstrate how standards have shaped residential developments and reshaped the natural landscape. And he considers alternatives for the future -- innovation and de facto deregulation by private developers, new design technologies, and place-based regulations reflecting local conditions. Standards, writes Ben-Joseph, will continue to shape the built environment, but they must be flexible enough to allow for innovation and contribute to the development of sustainable and desirable communities.
