Circulation
Circulation in architecture refers to the pathways that allow movement through buildings and spaces. Good circulation is essential to successful architecture as it determines how people experience the spaces. Circulation includes both horizontal pathways like hallways and vertical pathways like stairs. It also includes less obvious spaces like areas between furniture where people walk. The design of circulation significantly impacts how users experience and appreciate the architecture through movement.
Lecture 12 Theories of Urban Spatial Design
Three main theories of urban spatial design are discussed:
1. Figure and ground theory examines the relationship between solid urban masses (buildings) and open voids (spaces). It aims to establish a hierarchy of enclosed spaces through manipulating the pattern of solids and voids.
2. Linkage theory is based on "lines" that connect urban elements. It focuses on designing networks of paths, streets, and linear open spaces.
3. Place theory combines the above by giving contextual meaning to spaces based on cultural and human factors. A place is complete when architecture achieves a sense of unity and is visually appropriate for the context. Together, the theories aim to comprehensively understand and design urban form and spaces.
Landscape
The document summarizes a landscape design project for the Central Green at the Philadelphia Navy Yard Corporate Center. It includes the design process, elements of landscape design like lines, forms, textures, and colors. It provides details on the architects James Corner Field Operations and their design of the 5-acre site. Their design unites the urban potential of the site with its native habitat, resulting in a sustainable, green, and natural space that is also social, active, and urban. A 20-foot wide walking path organizes circulation and frames interior park areas featuring meadows, a hammock grove, amphitheater, bocce courts, and fitness stations.

1. There are multiple understandings of diagrams and their uses in architecture. Diagrams can represent concepts through plans, sections, programs, functions, and circulation.
2. Plan diagrams often relate architectural form to spatial composition and layout. Sectional diagrams relate form to invisible phenomena like light and scale.
3. Program/function diagrams visualize how building form relates to intended space use. Circulation diagrams relate form to user movement.
4. Parametric design uses mathematical models with variables to generate designs through variations in shape, volume and geometry. Examples include designs responding to sun paths and dynamic museum displays.
Animateform
This document summarizes the impact of interactive animation software in the 1990s and the work of architect Greg Lynn. It discusses how animation software like Alias and Softimage enabled more organic and curved architectural forms. Greg Lynn was an early advocate of this shift away from rectilinear shapes. His work focused on how calculus-based software and computer modeling influenced architectural form. Projects like his New York Presbyterian Church used animation software in the design process. The document discusses Lynn's perspective on "animate form" and comparisons between his work and Peter Eisenman. It provides examples of Lynn's use of topological surfaces, splines, and abstract machines in his designs.

It then covers the processes involved in constructing designed landscapes, including earthwork, grading, drainage/utilities, paving/surfacing, plantings. Grading is identified as the primary determinant and "skeleton" of landscape design. Different aesthetics of grading are covered, including geomorphic, architectonic, naturalistic, and sculptural approaches. Spatial considerations of grading that define space, provide enclosure and separation, and channel views are described. Designers like Michael Van Valkenburgh, George Hargreaves, and Reed Hilderbrand are noted for their grading designs. Environmental functions of grading including stormwater
Marcos novak idea,philosophy and works
Marcos Novak is an architect known for his concept of "liquid architecture", which refers to architectural forms that exist solely on computer screens and can change shape algorithmically. He originated the idea of dematerialized architecture for virtual spaces like cyberspace. Some of his key concepts include liquid architectures, transarchitecture, variable data forms, and data-driven forms. His liquid architectures are generated algorithmically and can be conceived, modeled, built, and inhabited through digital means. Novak seeks to blur the boundary between real and virtual architecture.

URBAN DESIGN - 2.pdf
Kevin Lynch was an American urban planner known for his work on the perceptual form of cities. In his influential book "The Image of the City", Lynch introduced the concept of mental maps and examined how people navigate and perceive the layout of Boston, Jersey City, and Los Angeles. He identified five key elements that form cognitive maps and influence urban navigation - paths, edges, districts, nodes, and landmarks. Lynch's work has greatly influenced how urban design can impact wayfinding and the user experience of cities.
Impacts of Technology on Architecture
Technology has significantly impacted the field of architecture. Early humans used basic tools and materials like mud, stone, and wood to construct shelters. Advances like using mud bricks, building ziggurats and temples, and innovations in materials and construction by Mesopotamians, Greeks, and Romans improved architectural styles. In the industrial era, new building types emerged like factories and train stations. Modern architecture utilizes building information modeling, 3D modeling software, presentation tools, and collaboration platforms to design, visualize, and communicate projects digitally. Current technologies continue enhancing the architectural design process.
Characteristics of urban design
This document summarizes characteristics of urban design presented by Nguyen Dang Phuong Linh at Hanoi Architectural University in 2014.

Developing a concept brings the program and site together in a holistic idea. Sustainability will be assessed using the QSAS rating system.
Site Planning in the Context of Architectural Projects
Site planning and building design should follow key principles:
1. Thorough site analysis considering location, orientation, topography, vegetation and infrastructure is essential for optimal design.
2. Buildings should be oriented and planned considering sun path, wind direction and climate for energy efficiency.
3. Setbacks, landscaping, and minimizing site disturbance and building footprints are important for sustainability and livability.

The proposal asks to provide inspiration from another architecture, and include rough and precise design sketches from multiple views.
Bernard tschumi
Bernard Tschumi is an architect known for deconstructivism. Some key philosophies in his work include defamiliarization, cross-programming, event shock, destructuring, and superimposition. His Parc de la Villette in Paris used a grid system with lines, points, and surfaces superimposed. His Blue Residential Tower in New York took advantage of the site's zoning to create an angled facade. His Paul L Cejas School of Architecture in Miami featured two wings connected by colorful generators to promote interaction.
CONSCIOUS URBANISM
This document summarizes and compares two experimental urbanism projects - Civano in Arizona, USA and Auroville in India - that aimed to develop sustainable communities through green design approaches. Civano's master plan focused on reducing energy/water consumption and automobile dependence through compact, mixed-use development connected by walking/biking paths. Auroville addressed broader issues like organic food, renewable energy, construction materials, and pollution through community-level experiments in architecture, planning and governance. Both projects demonstrate how pedestrian-prioritized design, renewable technologies, and local resource management can foster more sustainable urban forms.

James Wines
James Wines is an American architect known for his philosophy of integrating buildings with their surrounding natural environments. He advocates for hand drawing in conceptual design alongside computer tools. One of his projects was a retail showroom for The Best Products Company that had portions of its brick facade peeled away to reveal the space behind it, exploring relationships between art and architecture. Another project was a food kiosk for Madison Square Park designed to blend into the surrounding vegetation as a miniature garden.
