Defining Urban Design

Bal, Ufuk: Utilization of Urban Design Principles in Designing the Urban Space Case Studies on the Netherlands and Turkey, LAP LAMBERT ACADEMIC PUBLISHING, Februar 2011, Besorgungstitel - vorauss. Lieferzeit 3-5 Tage. ISBN: 3844302700
This book aims to develop a concept model as a tool for successful urban space design by defining general principles and therefore to stress the importance of defining and using these criteria when realizing projects. Moreover, this book aims to provide concrete examples for designers to get to know how to integrate these principles practically into design and implementation process. In this framework, the debate on the definition of urban design has been put forward. The historical development of urban design has been presented in order to understand the past experiences and attempts in creating 'successful' urban space. The principles of urban design, which are crucial to develop a key model for designing the urban space, have been used to monitor the projects from the Netherlands and Turkey with making comparative study between them. As a consequence, importance and necessity of urban design principles in order to create successful urban space and the importance of urban design for the future of the cities has been presented.

Darren,Robinson: Computer Modelling for Sustainable Urban Design Physical Principles, Methods and Applications, Taylor & Francis Ltd., Dezember 2011 ISBN: 1844076792
This is the first book to directly address the physics of urban sustainability and how urban sustainability may be modelled and optimised. Starting with an introduction to the importance and key aspects of the topic, it moves on to a detailed consideration of the urban climate and pedestrian comfort. Comprehensive techniques for the modelling and optimisation of urban metabolism are then described, together with means for defining sustainability as the fitness function to be optimised. It ends with an eye to the future of sustainable urban design and the means available to urban designers and governors to help them to secure a more sustainable urban future. This book will be invaluable both in informing the next generation of urban planners, architects and engineers, and as a tool to current professionals that will directly contribute to the effectiveness of their work by allowing them to more successfully measure and model urban sustainability.

The period around 1900 was a defining point in the history of architecture and it offers a fascinating insight into the whole development of the modern architectural movement. The intellectual debate was intense with a desire to produce innovative architecture which honoured the past and local traditions whilst using a combination of traditional and new materials. This international collection of papers examines the buildings and architects of this period and presents many fine examples of both domestic and public architecture, reflecting the diversity of ideas and influences of the time. The dialogue between tradition and modernity finds expression in the creative design and craftsmanship of the Arts and Crafts Movement and also reveals a desire to experiment with newer materials such as steel and reinforced concrete which then became more widely used after the First World War Contents: An introductory perspective Alan Powers STYLE AND TECHNIQUE Innovation and conservatism: steel and reinforced concrete in British architecture 1860-1905 Michael Stratton Precedent versus principle: the search for regional expression in New Zealand domestic architecture, 1890-1916 Ian Lochhead The search for order: Scottish architecture 1880-1914 Miles Glendinning The Glasgow School of Art: the leading edge of technology George M.
