Urban complexity's role in a practical emergent urbanismMathieu Hélie
The document discusses theories of urban complexity and emergent urbanism. It explores the history of urbanization from organic processes to modern planning. Complexity theories view cities as complex systems that emerge from the bottom-up interactions of many actors following simple rules. The author argues urbanization processes should allow for emergent order through shared geometric rules rather than top-down planning. Redesigning urban development processes at various scales could lead to more organic, fractally complex cities.
C.A Doxiadis was a Greek architect and town planner known for developing the theory of Ekistics and designing the new capital city of Islamabad in Pakistan. Some key points of his work:
- He founded the science of Ekistics to study human settlements of all scales, from villages to cities to regions, and how they evolve over time. This aimed to build optimized cities for humans.
- His theory analyzed factors like geography, growth, organization, and internal/external structures that influence human settlements. It also established a hierarchy of rural villages up to larger urban areas.
- Doxiadis designed Islamabad as the new capital of Pakistan in the 1950s based on Ekistic principles

The Spatial City, Which Is A Materialization Of This Theory, Makes It Possible For Everyone To Develop His Or Her Own Hypothesis. This Is Why, In The Mobile City, Buildings Should :
1. Touch The Ground Over A Minimum Area
2. Be Capable Of Being Dismantled And Moved
3. And Be Alterable As Required By The Individual Occupant.

1. Modernist principles shaped 20th century city-building and led to low-density urban sprawl characterized by single-family homes, car reliance, and separated land uses.
2. Three key tenets of Fordism informed modernist planning: specialization, mass production, and standardization. This led to separated zones for living, work, shopping, and more.
3. Zoning further separated uses and prioritized car movement over pedestrians. Neighborhood designs like Radburn isolated housing from roads. Transportation focused on cars over public transit or community design.
Super-tall and ultra-deep: The Politics of the ElevatorsStephen Graham
Entire libraries can be filled with volumes exploring the cultures, politics and geographies
of the largely horizontal mobilities and transportation infrastructures that are
intrinsic to urban modernity (highways, railways, subways, public transit and so on).
And yet the recent ‘mobilities turn’ has almost completely neglected the cultural
geographies and politics of vertical transportation within and between the buildings of
vertically-structured cityscapes. Attempting to rectify this neglect, this article seeks,
first, to bring elevator travel centrally into discussions about the cultural politics of
urban space and, second, to connect elevator urbanism to the even more neglected
worlds of elevator-based descent in ultra-deep mining. The article addresses, in turn:
the historical emergence of elevator urbanism; the cultural significance of the elevator
as spectacle; the global ‘race’ in elevator speed; shifts towards the ‘splintering’ of
elevator experiences; experiments with new mobility systems which blend elevators
and automobiles; problems of vertical abandonment; and, finally, the neglected vertical
politics of elevator-based ‘ultra-deep’ mining.
The document discusses various models of urban land use and patterns of urban growth. It describes the stages of urbanization, from very slow growth to periods of rapid urban growth and suburbanization. Issues caused by rapid urban growth in LEDCs are also examined, such as insufficient housing and strain on services. Examples provided discuss efforts to improve quality of life in LEDC cities through better transportation, housing, and waste management.
C.A. Doxiadis was a Greek architect and town planner who is best known for designing the city of Islamabad, Pakistan's capital city. He graduated with architectural engineering and doctoral degrees from universities in Athens and Berlin. Doxiadis planned Islamabad according to hierarchical and sustainable principles - the city has extensive green spaces integrated throughout and a transportation network that separates vehicles, public transit, bicycles and pedestrians to reduce congestion. The master plan for Islamabad and the surrounding region was based on Doxiadis' concept of a "Dynametropolis", allowing the areas to dynamically expand over time.

Sir Patrick Geddes was a pioneering Scottish town planner in the late 19th/early 20th century. Some of his key contributions included:
- Introducing the concepts of "region" and "conurbation" to urban planning.
- Arguing that rural development, urban planning, and city design require different approaches and shouldn't follow a single process.
- Developing the concept of the "valley section" to illustrate how a region influences and is influenced by its cities.
- Coining the term "conurbation" to describe the merging of cities, towns, and urban areas through population growth and expansion.
- Advocating a sequential approach to planning of regional survey, rural development
The document discusses several key theories and thinkers in post-war city planning, beginning with three main conceptions: 1) town planning as physical planning, 2) design as central to town planning, and 3) the production of "master" or "blueprint" plans. It then profiles several influential planners and their ideas, including Clarence Perry and the neighborhood unit, Lewis Mumford and the organic city, Kevin Lynch and the elements of urban form, Jane Jacobs and bottom-up community planning, Clarence Stein and the expansion of the neighborhood concept, and Frank Lloyd Wright's Broadacre City decentralized plan.

Urban morphology approaches human settlements as generally unconscious products that
emerge over long periods, through the accrual of successive generations of building activity.
This leaves traces that serve to structure subsequent building activity and provide
opportunities and constraints for city-building processes, such as land subdivision,
infrastructure development, or building construction. Articulating and analysing the logic of
these traces is the central question of urban morphology. Urban morphology is not generally
object-centered, in that it emphasizes the relationships between components of the city. We
will be discussing in detail about the urban morphology of the Chennai metropolitan.
Ekistics - Defining What is a Polis? What does it consist ofYaryalitsa
1. The document discusses ekistics, which is defined as the science of human settlements. It examines how humans inhabit settlements and provides a conceptual framework for understanding them.
2. Ekistics studies the basic elements that make up human settlements: nature, humans, society, physical structures (shells), and connecting networks.
3. It then presents a classification system of different types of settlements based on population size, ranging from an individual person to a global city. The largest settlements discussed are megacities with populations over 50 million people.
This document discusses several theories of urban development and models of urban structure. It introduces central place theory, which explains how towns form around the distribution of goods and sharing of ideas. The concentric zone model depicts social groups arranged in concentric rings around the central business district. The sector model shows the influence of transportation corridors on growth. The multiple nuclei model describes cities growing from several independent centers that later merge into one urban area, with various nodes like ports and universities influencing land use.
1) The document discusses criteria for sustainable neighborhood design in Afghan cities, including improving current land use trends, passive architectural strategies for energy conservation, and prioritizing walkability and cycling networks.
2) It outlines challenges like the dispersal of populations and services, as well as IDP settlements, and recommends increasing development density and accessibility to public transit.
3) The conclusion emphasizes designing buildings and neighborhoods to leverage microclimates for energy efficiency, customizing sustainability assessments, and promoting non-motorized transit to lower emissions and preserve cities' cultural heritage.
The term Ekistics (coined by Konstantinos Apostolos Doxiadis in 1942) applies to the science of human settlements. It includes regional, city, community planning and dwelling design.
Leon Krier is an influential architect and urban planner born in 1946 in Luxembourg. He is known for criticizing modernist architecture and advocating for traditional European city models. His most notable projects include the new town of Poundbury in the UK and master plans for Cayalá, Guatemala. Krier argues for reconstructing the rational order and typology of traditional architecture and cities. He believes modernist planning has led to detrimental zoning laws and suburban sprawl. Krier's writings have greatly influenced the New Urbanism movement.
The city of theory, planning in the face of conflict, contested cities social...Desy Rosnita Sari
The document summarizes three articles about the history and evolution of urban planning. It discusses how the planning paradigm has shifted over time from a focus on design to incorporating more community engagement, data analysis, and consideration of social and political factors. Planners now take on roles as mediators and negotiators to manage conflicts between competing stakeholder groups given the imbalance of power in planning processes. Cities are understood not just as physical forms but as ongoing processes shaped by social, economic and political dynamics over time and place. The messy and political nature of planning challenges the profession to maintain relevance across diverse fields of study and practice.
This document discusses theories of urban form and city patterns. It begins by defining urban form and some factors that influence city patterns, such as geography, natural environment, and socioeconomic forces. It then examines three common urban patterns: linear, cluster, and hierarchical. The document also discusses urban morphology and the analysis of urban form elements. Finally, it analyzes three early theories of urban form: the concentric zone model, sector model, and multiple nuclei model; and notes some criticisms of each approach.
This document provides an overview of theories and ideas that have shaped cities from a planner's perspective. It begins with an introduction on the interdisciplinary nature of planning and then divides the rest of the document into sections on historic planning theory, modern planning ideas, transportation demand theory, and further resources. Some of the key theories and ideas discussed include Jane Jacobs' approach to cities as ecosystems, Kevin Lynch's theory of legibility and imageability, the City Beautiful movement, regional planning, urban renewal, and transportation planning concepts.
The MAD architects designed the 385-meter tall Urban Forest skyscraper for Chongqing, China, which features gardens on each level created by horizontally shifting the floors. The skyscraper aims to bring nature back into the dense urban environment through its multidimensional design of sky gardens, floating patios, and minimal interior spaces lit by air, wind, and light.
Frank Lloyd Wright was an American architect known for his organic architecture and philosophy of designing structures in harmony with humanity and nature. He was interested in urban planning throughout his career. His most ambitious plan was Broadacre City, proposed in the 1930s, which envisioned decentralized, automobile-oriented communities where each American family would be given one acre of land. Broadacre City was meant to be the antithesis of dense cities and exemplify Wright's vision of suburban living, but it remained primarily a theoretical concept that highlighted some realities of future urban sprawl and independent living. While never fully realized, Broadacre City reflected Wright's belief that technological changes would make large cities obsolete.
The document discusses the history and theory of architectural space and drawing. It covers ideas from thinkers like Kipnis, Le Corbusier, Lefebvre and Zevi. It emphasizes that architectural drawing is an art form that can change architecture. Drawings allow innovative design and new directions. The document also discusses the city of Curitiba and its successful approach to urban planning that prioritized public space and transportation to minimize sprawl.
The document discusses the radial city planning patterns of Moscow and Washington DC. Moscow's plan features ring roads connected by radiating roads, with the core as the business area and industrial areas interspersed among residential zones. Washington DC was planned by Pierre L'Enfant and Andrew Ellicott along the Potomac River between Virginia and Maryland, and was burned in the War of 1812. Both cities exemplify radial city planning concepts.
The document discusses three classic urban land models:
- The Burgess Concentric Zone Model from the 1920s which depicted Chicago as having 5 concentric zones moving from the inner city to outer suburbs.
- The Hoyt Sector Model from the 1930s which showed urban growth in pie-shaped sectors extending from the CBD along transportation routes.
- The Harris and Ullman Multiple Nuclei Model from the 1940s which argued that cities had lost a single dominant CBD and instead had multiple disconnected activity centers.
This document provides information about Sir Patrick Geddes, a Scottish biologist, sociologist, geographer, philanthropist, and pioneering town planner. It discusses his influential thinking in fields like urban planning and sociology. Some of Geddes' key contributions mentioned include introducing the concept of "region" to architecture and planning, coining the term "conurbation" to describe merged urban areas, and founding the Scots College international teaching establishment. The document also outlines some of Geddes' principles for urban planning projects in places like Bombay and his concepts around the relationships between a place, its folk/people, and their work.
The document discusses urban design and its key principles and elements. It defines urban design as the process of designing and shaping cities, towns and villages, dealing with groups of buildings, streets, and public spaces at a larger scale than architecture. It outlines the differences between architecture, urban design, and urban planning in terms of scale, orientation, and time frames. The core elements of urban design discussed include buildings, public spaces, streets, transport, and landscape. Principles like character, continuity and enclosure, public realm, ease of movement, and diversity are also summarized.

It also describes the roles of different people involved like designers, developers and administrators. The document outlines the different levels of data abstraction in a DBMS and key functionality around concurrency control, backup/recovery, redundancy management, access control, optimization and metadata.
La antigua Mesopotamia se estableció entre los ríos Tigris y Éufrates. Las civilizaciones mesopotámicas y otras como Egipto compartieron rasgos como la agricultura, la forma de gobierno teocrática donde los sacerdotes gobernaban en nombre de los dioses, y avances en ciencia y tecnología como la irrigación y construcción. El sistema de escritura utilizado en Mesopotamia fue el cuneiforme que empleaba signos con forma de cuña grabados en arcilla.
Bernard Tschumi is a renowned architect known for his theory of disjunction, which emphasizes fragmentation over unity in architecture. One of his most famous works is the Parc de la Villette in Paris, completed in the 1980s. At Parc de la Villette, Tschumi organized space using a system of points, lines, and surfaces, applying concepts of deconstruction and recomposition. His designs aim to generate cultural events and experiences for visitors through movement and exploration of the space. Other works by Tschumi include the Glass Video Gallery, known for its use of glass and reflections, and the Acropolis Museum in Athens, designed with mathematical clarity.
The document summarizes the concept of the "Walking City" proposed by British architect Ron Herron in 1964. The Walking City referred to massive mobile robotic structures that could freely roam the world and interconnect with each other. Individual buildings could also be mobile. The document compares this concept to the mobile town that followed railroad construction in the US, as well as modern floating cities like aircraft carriers and cruise ships. While projects like the Freedom Ship failed, seasteading aims to create permanent floating communities outside nations' territories.
Urban, Historical development of urbanism, New urbanismBiya Girma Hirpo
Urbanism is the study of how inhabitants of urban areas interact with the built environment. It involves the planning and development of cities and towns. New urbanism emerged as a planning movement in response to the low-density, car-centric development patterns that resulted from industrialization. The principles of new urbanism promote walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods with a range of housing and transportation options. New urbanism aims to create sustainable communities that improve public health and quality of life.
Doxiadis : Ekistics the science of human settlementHemant Mishra
The document discusses Constantinos Doxiadis and his theory of Ekistics, which is the science of human settlements. Doxiadis believed that populations and energy use in cities would greatly increase in the future. He proposed that all of humanity would eventually live in a single massive "Ecumenopolis," or worldwide city. Doxiadis developed a framework for classifying and understanding the relationships between different elements and scales of human settlements, from individual homes to global urbanization. A key aspect of his theory was that future cities must be planned to accommodate continued population growth and expansion.
Bernard Tschumi designed Parc de la Villette in Paris using an unconventional approach that superimposed three independent systems: points, lines, and surfaces. The points consisted of a grid of brightly colored follies, or structures, to provide orientation and identity. The lines were paths arranged in a grid. The surfaces were open areas for activities requiring horizontal space. This integration of systems in a state of constant reconfiguration was meant to bring together the natural and artificial.

Lewis Mumford was an American historian, sociologist, philosopher of technology, and writer known for his studies of cities and urban architecture. He believed that the chief function of cities is to convert resources into culture. Mumford was influenced by Patrick Geddes' concept of regional planning and worked to establish cities planned sustainably on a human scale with residential, cultural, commercial, and industrial areas surrounded by agricultural greenbelts. He criticized projects like Robert Moses' highways in New York for prioritizing cars over communities. Mumford's work promoted organic, sustainable urban development and influenced environmental and appropriate technology movements.
1. Evidence of urban planning can be found as far back as ancient cities which had orderly street systems and water/sewage systems. During the Renaissance, European cities were planned with defenses and for population flow. This spread to colonial cities like Philadelphia which used the grid plan.
2. Urban planning emerged in response to health, social, and economic crises of the Industrial Revolution. Thinkers like Engels documented worker issues while planners tried balancing cities and nature. The parks movement aimed to beautify cities. Garden cities separated homes from industry with greenbelts.
3. Modern planners included those aiming to regulate cities like Burnham versus idealists pursuing new communities like Howard. Debates centered on
The document discusses several concepts related to urban planning and city design:
- Kevin Lynch's theory that a city's layout should be legible to those navigating it through paths, nodes, edges, districts, and landmarks.
- The document provides examples of "illegal architecture" in Taiwan as landmarks, including extensions of buildings and spontaneous self-built structures.
- It describes a student project to build a bridge and tower structure, presenting sketches, plans, and models of the design process applying concepts from biology and vascular systems.

Kenzo Tange was a influential Japanese architect and urban planner in the postwar period. He helped define Japan's emergence into modernism after WWII. Tange developed the concept of "metabolism" where cities and buildings are ever-changing and organic, with modular replaceable parts. One of his most famous works applying these ideas was the 1967 Shizuoka Press and Broadcasting Centre, which had modular steel office units cantilevered from a central core that could potentially be replaced over time. Tange's 1960 Plan for Tokyo Bay proposed a linear series of interlocking loops expanding across the bay as a symbolic representation of how cities can continuously expand and regenerate internally through metabolic processes.

PUP 420: Theory of
Urban Design
Historical Perspectives:
Siena, Italy
Part of understanding the basics of
urban design is to understand the
history of designing our cities.
Two basic city forms – organic and
geometric – emerged very early in
Western civilizations.
Organic cities are likely to have been
the more ancient of the two, having
arisen through chance and
accretion. Accretion means that
these settlements grew where paths
became streets, and villages
merged into towns and then cities.
Organic cities developed around geographic features that were
crucial to trade or defense, such as regional crossroads, safe
harbors, river crossings, access to mountain passes, and so
forth.
Miletus, origin of Miletian plan
Palace Quarter, Babylon
The geometric form, on the other
hand, was planned – purposely
and self-consciously designed.
This is where we get our grid
system, where streets are at right
angles and form blocks.
Most early geometric cities had
specific places for religion and
commerce. And most early
societies were concerned about
controlling access to their city for
the purpose of defense.
Historical Perspectives:
Historical Perspectives:
Piazza del Campo, Siena
Villingen, Germany
The Middle Ages were shaped by
warfare and military considerations,
leading to things like building city
walls.
Public spaces became associated
with religious structures and, later,
commerce, as the church plaza
became the marketplace.
During the Middle Ages, we also
started building secular public
plazas – these are plazas that are
not associated with a church or
religion. Piazza del Campo in
Sienna was one of the first of these
secular plazas.
Historical Perspectives:
Pienza, Italy
Palmanova, Italy
Next, we move ahead to the
Renaissance, which was roughly
the 15th – 17th Centuries. (There’s
no consensus about the exact
years.)
During this time, classical architecture
and planning served as precedents,
as neo-classical architecture began
to be built. This was stemming from
a renewed interest in art,
architecture, literature, and so forth.
This coincides with the emerging
“humanist” view – meaning that
people were looking at Ancient
Rome and Ancient Greece for
inspiration and seeing the value in
classical learning.
Historical Perspectives:
Pope Sixtus V’s Plan of Rome
The Baroque period was roughly the
16th – 17th Centuries, sometimes
grouped into the Renaissance time
period.
During the Baroque period, we built
straight avenues with clear lines of
sight. Our cities also had radial and
diagonal patterns defined by focal
points. This is largely because the
planners were military engineers,
interested in efficiency.
During this time, cities were also
starting to be confronted with the
challenges of swelling populations –
and the consequences of this on
health, light, and air.

PUP 420 Theory of Urban Design Historical PerspectiTakishaPeck109
This document provides an overview of the history of urban design from ancient times to the present. It discusses two early city forms that emerged - organic cities that developed organically and geometric cities that were purposefully planned. During the Middle Ages, cities were shaped by warfare and public spaces became associated with religious and commercial structures. The Renaissance saw a renewed interest in classical architecture. Baroque cities had straight avenues and radial patterns. In the US, cities utilized grids and had a relationship between urban and rural areas. The Industrial Revolution led to mass urbanization. More recent eras saw the development of suburbs and modernist high-density developments. The document outlines two paradigms of urban design - empiricism based on precedents and rationalism
The document discusses several theorists and concepts related to urban planning and design. It references the works of Jane Jacobs, Oscar Newman, Paul Ritter, and Wilhelm Reich. Some of the key ideas discussed include defining public and private spaces, allowing residents to control areas around their homes, having eyes on the street to increase safety and natural surveillance, and separating motor vehicles from pedestrian paths and gathering spaces.
The document discusses urban design theories and the metabolist movement in Japan. Some key points:
- The metabolist movement emerged in post-war Japan to address the need for efficient residential and urban housing. Metabolists rejected traditional architecture and envisioned cities with large, flexible structures that facilitate organic growth.
- Notable metabolist projects included Kisho Kurokawa's capsule tower and Kenzo Tange's plans for redeveloping cities like Tokyo that integrated the sea and sky into urban habitats.
- The metabolist movement was influenced by teams like Team X and sought to situate futuristic concepts in the context of Japan's reconstruction and rapid economic growth in the 1960s.

The Differences Between Architects Le Corbusier And Laurie...Heather Vargas
This document discusses two sources that analyze the development of a Malaysian architectural identity and the features of Malaysian vernacular architecture. The first source is an analysis and critique of Malaysia's struggle to develop a distinct architectural identity after colonial rule. It examines different perspectives used in the quest for an identity. The second source analyzes a conference paper about identifying spatial features of Malay vernacular houses and how they make good use of passive energy with minimal environmental impact through local building materials and passive design.
Landscape urbanism is an approach to urban planning that focuses on designing the landscape of a city rather than its individual buildings. It views the landscape as shaping and organizing the spaces and relationships within a city. Some key aspects of landscape urbanism include an emphasis on horizontal design and open spaces over vertical structures, an approach that allows for flexibility and change over time, and a view of the landscape as interconnecting different urban systems. While landscape urbanism promotes integrating nature and ecology into urban planning, some critics argue it can result in a lack of density and disconnected green spaces, or treat ecology simply as an aesthetic element rather than necessary infrastructure.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Introduction (1)
Why did I choose to answer QUESTION (L)?
Since I was attending the High School, one of my biggest passions was architecture.
I was curious about how monumental and fascinating structures were erected, which line of thought
was the mind behind the project, and how every single detail was so perfectly and harmoniously inlaid
in the bigger picture.
I’ve spent so many hours daydreaming about my ideal future city, taking into account the theories of the
greatest architects of all time, so that now I’m enabled to concretize those visions in a full presentation
4. M.M.
Introduction (2)
In order to show you my
vision of the future city, I’ll
briefly start with retracing an
architecture’s theoretical
path, that includes the most
representative artists
belonging to different
architectural movements
Rationalism
Futurism
My vision
these currents of thought are the
foundation of my vision, and their
exponents my first source of inspiration
5. M.M.
Rationalism (1)
The Rationalist architecture was
born from the need of a real
adherence to the social and
economic reality following the
industrial revolution, aiming to
find a rational solution to the
problems that the society, the
needs of industrial production,
the new size and functions of
the city pose to 'architect and
urban planner.
Period: 1915 - 1945
Rationalism's
four pillars
Functionalism
Pragmatism Cubism
Neo-
Plasticism
6. M.M.
Rationalism (2) – Le Corbusier
Le Corbusier was one of the first
theorists to describe the new type of
modern architecture (Rationalism) in
the '30s
•Vers une architecture, Le Corbusier 1923 •
The rationalist architecture
aimed to get a more detailed
and refined choice of
intentionally innovative, simple
and essential patterns.
7. M.M.
Rationalism (3) – Walter Gropius
The Bauhaus was a school, but also
represented the essential point of
reference for all movements of
innovation in the field of design and
architecture related to the rationalism
and functionalism.
• Bauhaus,Walter Gropius, 1919 •
Features:
• pillars
• roof terrace
• free plan
• free facade
• ribbon windows
8. M.M.
Futurism (1)
Rationalism
Futurism
(1960 – 1970 )
1945
After the second world war, the urgent
need to rebuild everything as quickly as
possible lead to the massive use of
rationalist architecture, simple and practical.
So that, the latter, first perceived an elitist
form of art, became mass architecture,
suddenly perceived as smallness, ugliness,
carelessness and squalor, creating the
expectation for a change: The Futurism.
End of World War II
Deconstructivism (Futusism) is an architectural
movement often opposed to the postmodern
movement (which recovered historicism and rationalism)
9. M.M.
Futurism (2)
Futurism’s methods, in reaction to
architectural rationalism, want to de-
construct what is built
Futurism's four
pillars
Irregular
Geometry
Disarticulated
and
decomposed
forms
Fragmented
volumes, cuts and
asymmetries
Absence of
traditional
aesthetic
canonsIt 'a new architectural vision,
where is chaos, if I may say so,
the ordering element
10. M.M.
Inverse concept of the
carrier structure at sight,
instead of hidden
Futurism (3) – Renzo Piano & Peter Rogers
• Centre Pompidou, Renzo Piano & Peter Rogers, 1971 •
The Centre Georges Pompidou,
1971, considered the high-tech
architecture manifesto, is today
one of the most visited
monuments in Paris
11. M.M.
“ Fluid harmony, absence of
preconceptions, innovation “
Futurism (4) – Frank Gehry
Frank Gehry is one of
the greatest exponent
of the deconstructivist
movement
•Walt Disney Concert Hall, Frank Gehry, 2003 •
• BeekmanTower,
Frank Gehry, 2011 •
12. M.M.
Futurism (5) – Jacques Fresco
Jacques Fresco actually
represents the most
important and
significant visionary for
me, and, further more,
my first ideological
stimulus
Fresco writes and lectures his views on sustainable
cities, energy efficiency, natural-resource
management, cybernetic technology, automation,
and the role of science in society. Fresco advocates
global implementation of a socioeconomic system
which he refers to as a "resource-based economy."
Jacque Fresco (born March 13, 1916), is an
American futurist and self-described social engineer.

- Technology
The Venus Project
Futurism (6) – Fresco: the Venus Project
Fresco, with Meadows, supported the project in
the 1990s through freelance inventing, industrial
engineering, conventional architectural modeling,
and invention consultations.
14. M.M.
My vision (1) – The future: “Pantapoly”
Not only what I
want to
propose, but
what I dream for
Sustainability
Smartness
Safety
The 3S
Pantapoly will be
erected on the
intersection of the “3S
principles”, listed on
the right.
Those will be declined
in different fields:
• Energy
• Environment
• Transports
15. M.M.
My vision (2) – Energy
Pantapoly will be powered entirely by
renewable energy sources.There are many
forms of renewable energy sources that could
supply the world with more
power than current global needs. Our planet
needs to be heard, and we must answer.
Elon Musk has recently showed the
world how simple supplying the all
American continent with RE could
be, if only governments would
approve the project
Renewable
energies’ sources:
Solar:
- photovoltaic panels
- concentrated solar power
Wind
- wind firms
- offshore wind turbines
Wave
- ocean’s movements and
currents
Geothermal
Hydroelectricity
16. M.M.
My vision (3) – Environment ◦ City
Structure
Pantapoly’s structure
should be designed as
a circular city plan.The
circle is the most
perfect shape present
in nature: it’s elegant,
it’s efficient, and it’s fair.
The city is divided into radial sectors and
circular belts.The circular scheme offers
maximum efficiency, bringing each radial
sector closer to the central dome
The circular structure of the city
would make the overall system
efficient: minimum expenditure of
energy, highest standard of living
17. M.M.
Nanotechnology combines optics
and lasers, and will eventually enable
us to assemble matter, atom by
atom, into whatever molecular
structure is needed.
Industrial Robots and
Laser Excavators
would be used for
large buildings.
My vision (5) – Environment ◦ City
Structure
Automated
Construction Systems
A multi-function unit machine could be used to lift and later
insert prefabricated housing components into a support
structure.
3D PRINTERS
The 3D Printers’ technology could entirely
replace the worker’s physical efforts.
With the use of computer’s design programs,
architects could express a multitude of different
styles and frames.
18. M.M.
My vision (4) – Environment ◦ Total Enclosure
Systems
Total Enclosure Systems
(TES)
“Places with inhospitable conditions such as polar and
equatorial regions have prevented us in thoroughly
investigating their potential.Total enclosure systems,
above ground and subterranean, provide a high
standard of living and enable their inhabitants to
investigate regions, generally unsuitable for human
activity, for longer periods of time.”
Skyscrapers
Subterranean
Communities
TES:
They could assure that more land will be available
above the ground for facilities, while concurrently
helping to eliminate urban sprawl.
They could assure that more land will
be available below the surface, in
extreme extern conditions regions
Everything,
everywhere,
at any time
19. M.M.
I.A. TRANSPORTS
Autonomous self-driving vehicles
Modular Transports
Modular transports consist of floating,
detachable sections that can be rapidly
loaded or unloaded.The number of
sections can be varied depending on the
amount of passengers travelling.
My vision (6) – Transports
Fuels
MAGLEV
Transports
(Magnetic Levitation)
Trains traveling on MAGLEV reduce resource waste and
shorten the average travel time.These maglevs travel
with supersonic speeds almost continuously.
20. M.M.
My vision (7) – Society
Our future creations will reflect
our future society’s soul.
Basically, we create what we are
We will need to create and environment
which could create the proper
conditions for a continuous change of
our set of civil principles, because, in a
globalized world, we’ll have to constantly
update our rules, laws and vlues.
One race, one
civilization:
the Human one
“In a Resource-based Economy the main focus is on the
people and the environment. Producing a high standard
of living for all human beings on Earth while restoring,
preserving and enriching the environment around them
requires the use of science and technology and also
requires a higher degree of efficiency.”
Resource-based Economy:
we need to control the
capitalism machine and use it
for our highest and purest
proposals
