A study on the space composition designed by Stanisław Niemczyk in the context of evolving religiousness and spirituality
No full textThe proposed paper explores whether the traditional religious space can meet the needs of individual religiousness. The primary hypothesis assumes that the appropriate sequence of urban interiors, spatial boundaries, and transition points can be conducive to religious feelings. The research concerns architectural projects of Stanisław Niemczyk which combine spatial complexity along with a common impression of the prevailing religious atmosphere. The applied graph-based method intentionally ignores the architecture of the temple and concentrates particularly on spatial aspects. At first, individual units of space are distinguished, so that connections between them can be examined. The use of geometric simplification of space makes it easier to investigate space complexity, which appears to be overlooked in both architectural and urban analyses. However, this aspect seems to be crucial in terms of space that is related to spirituality

Urban verticalization morphologies: applying the anatomies of density theory in three Chilean metropolitan areas
Get PDFThis work aims to visualize and analyze the anatomies of density proposed by Angel et al. (2021) in the context of verticalization in the metropolitan areas of Santiago, Valparaíso and Concepción between 2002 and 2021. As these authors suggest, cities obtain their density from different combinations of these seven factors. Our hypothesis is that the dynamic processes of verticalization in Chilean metropolitan areas are significantly reconfiguring the urban structure. To move towards more integrated and sustainable cities, it is necessary to understand in all its complexity the new spatial relationships and forms of density distribution derived from verticalization. We characterize verticalization with the data available on building permits between 2002 and 2021. To understand the territorial scope and intensity of verticalization, distribution maps of building permits are made, by year, in the three metropolitan areas. Based on the theory of the anatomies of density (Angel et al. 2021), we carried out a first density factorization on the metropolitan scale. Synthetic representations are made in three dimensions of density and three-time cuts: 2002, 2012 and 2020. Results focus on recent verticalization trends in AMS, AMV and AMC. The discussion addresses three main findings: From the center to peri-centralities: territorial expansion of verticalization, Densification Intensification and Diversified verticalization: anatomies of density at the metropolitan and municipal scale
Study on Clustering of Urban Morphology Control Units Based on Risk Theory
No full textWith the increasing threat of new types of risks from global climate change, the ‘uncertainty’ emphasized by the risk theory has become the most urgent problem to be faced in modern urban planning and governance. As the main element of the basic structure of the city, the urban morphology control unit should reflect the sensitivity, vulnerability and resilience of the city to deal with new types of risks, but the analysis on this issue needs to be further improved. This study selects Guangzhou, China as the case study city, with reference mainly to the risk society theory and risk city theory derived from the former one, trying to start from the three aspects of social group attributes, renewable energy application potential and ecological water storage potential, to classify and analyse ‘risk-based’ Guangzhou urban morphology control units. The results show that the Guangzhou urban morphology control units could be clustered into two types from social group aspect and five types from clean and recycled technology aspect, thus providing targeted advices. This study helps enrich the connotation and practical value of urban morphology theory
Study on the Evolution of Urban Form Types in Historical Districts from the Perspective of Industrial Agglomeration Process: A Case Study of East Beijing Road Hardware Street in Shanghai
No full textHistorical districts have accumulated over a long period to form a unique context of districts shaping the spatial form of districts. As for the industrial historical districts, the industrial development is the decisive factor for the evolution of the districts, and the spatial form of the districts is constantly changing with the process of industrial evolution. Taking East Beijing Road Hardware Street, which has lasted for hundred years, as an example, this paper first reviews the dynamic process of industrial agglomeration and divides the development of its hardware industry into four periods: germination period, slow development period, high-speed agglomeration period and transition period. Secondly, according to the three elements of ‘town plan, building type, land and building utilization’, the district space in different periods is divided into 5 morphological types, and the characteristics and evolution process of morphological types are explored. Finally, the influence mechanism between industrial agglomeration and spatial morphology is discussed, so as to guide the sustainable transformation of historical districts
Study on the Evolution of the Relationship between Urban Housing Space and Topography in Chongqing’s Mountainous Old-town Riverfront in China’s Reform Era: An Environmental History’s Perspective
No full textBefore China’s post-1978 reform era, the riverfront slopes of mountainous cities in Chongqing accommodated vernacular housing landscape intertwined with mountain-water topography. During the reform, such relationship between housing and topography changed drastically. This research investigates the changing relationship between housing space and topography in Chongqing in the reform era. Environmental history investigates the history of human-nature interactions, applying social division analysis to study how different groups developed their relations when occupying natural resources, and cultural construction analysis to study how humans developed their understandings about nature. This research applies environmental history’s research framework. In the 1980s, notwithstanding the introduction of modern high-rise housing to Chongqing, the city’s riverfront housing form and local residents’ daily life adapted to topography sensitively, which was similar to the pre-1978 period. In the 1990s, intense riverfront high-rise housing development flattened riverfront slopes and seduced wealthy groups to replace local residents to live in riverfront housing with river view, interpreted by the mass as Chongqing’s loss of its mountain-water urban feature. After the late 1990s, Chongqing government started preserving the remaining riverfront vernacular housing, but driven by commercial motives, such preservation produced commercial areas themed with “traditional mountain-water cityscape” and relocated local residents, detaching topography from local residents’ daily life. The changing relationship between housing and topography signified that Chongqing’s riverfront mountainous cityscape making shifted from the mass-oriented to the elite-oriented, from serving the mass’ daily needs to serving the elite’s interests/visions, due to the fact that the urban elites were not fully aware of the significance of the housing landscape in which the mass’ daily dwelling intertwined with topography for Chongqing city’s long-term development, and that there was a lack of a mechanism supporting the preservation of such housing landscape during urban renewal

Contextual ES-adRNN with Attention Mechanisms for Forecasting
No full textIn this study, we propose a hybrid contextual forecasting model
with attention mechanisms for generating context information. The model
combines exponential smoothing and recurrent neural network to extract and
synthesize information at both the individual series and collective dataset
levels. The model is composed of two simultaneously trained tracks: context
track and main track. The main track generates forecasts and predictive intervals,
while the context track generates additional inputs for the main track
based on representative time series. Attention mechanisms are integrated
into the model in six different variations to adjust the context information to
the forecasted series and so increase the predictive power of the model
