Appropriate pedagogical approaches for conduct of site planning and built environment studio in spatial planning education programs
No full textSpatial planning education is multi-disciplinary in nature and particularly site planning needs
exposure to Engineering, Architectural, Landscape, Sociological, Economic, and Infrastructural
aspects. The curriculum of the spatial planning program introduces the site-planning studio
(multi-level design and planning) at the initial semesters without introduction of single space
design and planning. Due to inadequate exposure the students find it difficult to plan and design
residential layouts in the planning studio. The site-planning studio provides a good
understanding of how the articulation of density can modify the built form and environment.
There are considerable lacunae in the adopted approaches of site planning studios in various
planning schools. The author discusses in detail the varied methodologies and approaches
adopted in site planning and built environment studio programs. The two pedagogical studios
methods experimented in the site-planning studio were discussed at length. One method
discusses from unit level planning and designing to block and neighborhood level and other
method discusses from neighborhood to block and unit level. Within these two studio
pedagogical methodologies, for conduct of site planning exercises two approaches were
generally adopted i.e block-based approach and Design based approach. The characteristic
features, outcomes, advantages and disadvantages of each methodologies /approach offer an
understanding of how site-planning studios have to be taught in the planning program. The
author emphasizes the importance of a gradual progression from a single space design and
planning to multi-level design and planning for enhanced comprehension of students
Chordoma of the Lumbar Spine Presenting as Sciatica and Treated with Vertebroplasty
No full textThe lumbar spine is a less common location for chordoma Here we describe a 44-year-old woman presenting with pain due to a L4 vertebral expansile lesion that caused significant canal stenosis and neural foraminal compromise Vertebroplasty was performed and resulted in immediate pain relief For patients with painful lumbar chordoma who are unwilling to undergo surgery, vertebroplasty can play a palliative role as in patients with other vertebral lesions Treating pain and stabilizing vertebra by way of vertebroplasty in a case of chordoma has not yet been reporte
