Urban landscape is a complex system. The understanding of the underlying mechanism of each subsystem and their dynamic interaction is quite crucial for human intervention regarding future development. This requires a systematic scientific approach. A cross scale analytical framework is processed which integrates the Dutch morphological school technique – reduction drawing and layer approach to systematically interpret the urban landscape. In order to exemplify the potential and the generic property of the approach, the research applies heterogeneous case study. Explorative analyses are performed on two cases in different region in China. The production landscape in Pearl River Delta and Tai Lake region are mapped on geography, landscape, settlement and architecture and public space scale respectively. Their form and formation are discussed with the maps. Comparison regarding the form of the water, pond, difference of typologies, and the scale and form of the settlements are made. Research shows the dependence and interrelation between scales. The author believes that mapping is an effective analytical and design process as well as well-presented products. The logic of the complex space and design strategies reveals itself along the process. The cross-scale mapping facilitates a comprehensive understanding of urban landscape. It is a prerequisite of design.
A Morphological Analysis for the Inclusion of Social Housing Projects in the Centre of Guayaquil, a Restriction or an Opportunity?
(Lodz University of Technology Press, 2023) Delgado Alina; Torres Juan Carlos
Urban centres revitalisation is a task undertaken by the governments of Latin American countries decades ago, following the trends of European nations. The high cost of peri-urban development, the deterioration of urban centres and the sub-use of existing urban infrastructure ignited interest in city centre revitalisation. Guayaquil is no exception to the above. In a city with a continuous expansion of its urban boundaries at a high economic, social and environmental cost, it becomes essential to consider housing projects to revitalise its urban centre. The purpose of this study is to analyse possibilities or restrictions for including social housing projects in the city centre, based on the analysis of existing urban tissues. A combination of methods is used, including the study of concepts, a morphological analysis of urban variables and a walkability assessment. Besides, land use instruments with a social focus are included for promoting and securing land for housing developments to contribute to urban centre revitalisation. Results indicate the relation between urban form, variables and possibilities for urban centre revitalisation through the inclusion of social housing projects. The study concludes with a critical reflection regarding the opportunities or restrictions of the selected approach to include new revitalisation proposals and how the different visions of the city could be integrated and included in the existing urban pattern.
Re-imagining Crowsnest Pass: Findings ways of redeveloping/reskilling a coal mining community
(Lodz University of Technology Press, 2023) Uribe Alaniz Francisco
While world leaders gathered in Glasgow to decide strategies to face climate change at the 2021 COP26 conference, small communities around the world, dependent on current energy practices, struggle to come to terms and adapt to the phaseout of traditional energy sources. The Municipality of Crowsnest Pass in the Canadian Rockies is a coal mining community needing to reimagine its future to redevelop and reskill a dwindling economy. Through a community-based participatory research collaboration between citizens and students, using mixed methods of spatial analysis and morphology, public participatory processes and experiential learning, a series of redevelopment and reskilling strategies were drafted. Through a comprehensive analytical approach to find future potential, many opportunities arose, building confidence in existing assets and generating new ideas for change. Design ideas were drafted based on a rich cultural and natural landscape. Different scenarios and strategies for investment and redevelopment could drive fundraising efforts at the local, provincial and federal levels. Those ideas were very well received by the community. Students and community members became a great partnership: respectful, enthusiastic and empathetic. While implementation will be difficult, the redevelopment strategies and the processes itself presents a renewed impetus for change with an optimistic view for the future for Crowsnest Pass.
