The document discusses the Walker Art Center's goal of becoming a forum for civic engagement through its role as a contemporary art center. It explores using the metaphor of a town square to describe the kind of social experience and spontaneous discussion the Walker aims to foster in its new spaces. The town square represents a communal space where diverse ideas and political speech are shared freely. The document outlines the Walker's vision of a "Town Square" philosophy of programming that promotes connection and meaningful interaction between art and audiences through different roles like discussion, debate, and differing opinions.
1) The concept of counterurbanization suggests a reversal in historical migration patterns from rural to urban areas, with population dispersing from cities to rural regions. However, examining migration data at finer geographical scales reveals a more complex picture.
2) In Scotland, analysis using a detailed urban-rural classification shows net migration is upwards within settlement hierarchies, with most rural out-migration going directly to large cities. Remote rural areas experience the greatest population losses.
3) While some rural areas have experienced population growth from urban in-migration, describing this as a "rural renaissance" is misleading. Many remote rural regions continue to experience depopulation, despite aggregate statistics showing slight rural population gains nationally. The reality
This document discusses environmental cognition and cognitive mapping. It begins by defining environmental cognition as the process of acquiring, storing, organizing, and recalling information about locations, distances, and arrangements in spaces. It then defines cognitive mapping as the process by which individuals acquire, code, store, and recall information about the relative locations and attributes of phenomena in their everyday spatial environment. The document goes on to discuss cognitive maps as mental constructs of environments that integrate parts into a whole. It notes several factors that influence cognitive map formation, including age, personality, experience, and familiarity with an area. Finally, the document discusses Kevin Lynch's theory of the image of the city and his five elements of urban legibility: paths, edges, districts
Kevin Lynch studied the mental maps and images that people form of cities. He identified 5 key elements that shape a person's mental image: pathways, edges, districts, nodes, and landmarks. Pathways are streets and paths that direct movement; edges are linear boundaries like walls; districts are recognizable sections of a city; nodes are strategic points like intersections; and landmarks are reference points like buildings. Lynch applied this framework to analyze the mental maps of Boston, Jersey City, and Los Angeles. His work aimed to understand how people navigate cities and design more legible urban environments.
The document discusses elements that contribute to the legibility and navigability of cities, as analyzed by urban planner Kevin Lynch. It examines four cities - Athens, Paris, Jaipur, and Rome - and how each city utilizes Lynch's elements of paths, edges, districts, and landmarks to create a coherent structure that is easy for people to understand and navigate. The document analyzes features of each city like pathways in Athens, water edges in Paris, distinct districts in Jaipur, and prominent landmarks in Rome that make the layout and organization of each city clear.
Urban form, a story of human actions and interactionsAlexandra Petraru
This document provides a history of urban development in Bucharest, Romania. It begins as a small medieval town centered around the emperor's court. In the 19th century it grew economically and was known as "Little Paris." The communist regime from the 1950s-1980s forcibly industrialized cities and built large uniform housing districts. After the 1989 revolution, development was unplanned and chaotic as people built wherever they wanted. This led to urban sprawl and car-dependent suburbs lacking public spaces and community.
The document summarizes Kevin Lynch's book "The Image of the City" which explores how people mentally perceive and navigate urban environments. It discusses Lynch's concepts of imageability, legibility, and the five elements that comprise a city's mental image for people - paths, edges, districts, nodes, and landmarks. It provides examples of Lynch's analysis of the mental images of Boston, Jersey City, and Los Angeles.
The document discusses mental maps and how they are used to understand how people perceive and navigate urban spaces. It describes a study conducted by Kevin Lynch in the 1960s where he asked participants to draw sketches of areas they were familiar with from memory. Lynch identified five common elements that structured people's mental maps: paths, edges, districts, nodes, and landmarks. His work established the field of understanding how urban design impacts human perception and wayfinding.

The document discusses how street networks shape movement and spatial patterns in cities like Malmö. It argues that Malmö's street network creates segregated zones with barriers between areas due to heavily trafficked main streets. However, alternative local street networks could break down these barriers by creating new connections and spaces for interaction. The document proposes mapping Malmö's street networks based on integration and identifying points where local and global streets meet. These connection points could form new green spaces and guide movement in a way that better connects the city.
The document discusses six students' analyses of Liverpool and Barcelona using various urban theorists, including Kevin Lynch, Jane Jacobs, Gordon Cullen, and Christopher Alexander.

City Games: Up and Down and Sideways on the Ladder of AbstractionSebastian Deterding
Like games and everyday life, games and cities have been intersecting in two primary ways: modelling the city in an abstract view from above, with planning games and urban simulations, and transforming people's everyday urban experiences and behaviors with playful interventions on the ground. Neither one, this talk argues, has been particularly successful in creating lasting improvements in citizen's well being. To accomplish this, we need to take game design seriously and look sideways at the messy middle between map and territory, the processes in which one is translated into the other (or not).

The document provides a review of Kevin Lynch's book "The Image of the City". It summarizes the key points of each chapter, including Lynch's analysis of how people perceive and navigate urban environments through mental maps containing paths, edges, districts, nodes, and landmarks. It also analyzes Lynch's writing style, praising the logical flow of ideas, focus on the central topic of a city's image, effective use of illustrations, and coherence. The review evaluates Lynch's influential work on urban planning and how understanding human perception can influence city design.
chapter 5, public places urban spaces- Perceptual dimensionsAnila Cherian
This document discusses perceptual dimensions and environmental perception. It covers four dimensions of perception: cognition, affective, interpretative, and evaluative. Perception involves gathering and making sense of sensory stimuli like sight, sound, smell, and touch. Perception is influenced by social and cultural factors. Kevin Lynch's theory of the imageability of cities explored how people mentally map their urban environments based on elements like paths, edges, districts, nodes, and landmarks. Later criticism found that the social and emotional meanings people attach to places may be more important than their physical structure. The construction of place and sense of place are also discussed, as well as concepts of territoriality, placelessness, and invented places.

The document discusses three main challenges facing architecture: climate change and sustainability; changes in society and urban transformation; and knowledge and innovation. It then examines these challenges through discussions of sustainability, the relationship between sustainability and cities, and the role of architects in "building" sustainable communities through participatory practices and enabling local involvement. The document advocates for an interdisciplinary approach that prioritizes people and social interaction to create healthy, sustainable cities.

The role of community art programs in building social capital thesis prospec...SAAD ALZAROONI, CM
This document outlines a research plan exploring how community art programs can build social capital. It presents a conceptual framework showing the potential impacts of arts on communities, individuals, and the economy. The research aims to understand how public art can contribute to social capital by facilitating civic engagement and community cohesion. Both theoretical and empirical literature will be reviewed on topics like why people participate in arts and how art shapes sense of place. Qualitative methods like interviews and observation will be used to collect data on how art organizations can engage communities and address social issues through public art.
This document is an introduction to a collection of research articles on the state of the nonprofit arts sector in New York City. It discusses how arts and culture have long been central to the mission of The Municipal Art Society of New York. The introduction provides background on recent collaborations between MAS and the Alliance for the Arts to research and advocate for the arts. It summarizes the four articles that follow, which analyze data from the Cultural Data Project to tell a story about the resilience of the nonprofit arts community during the economic downturn from 2008-2011. The introduction emphasizes the importance of measuring impacts and developing new indicators of vibrancy and sustainability for the cultural field.
The document discusses various topics related to public art including:
- The marginalization of artists in public art projects
- Different levels of engagement artists can have, from individual technical work to long-term community embeddedness
- Issues of representation, gentrification, and the commodification of place through public art
- The broad definition of what constitutes public art
- International examples of organizations taking critical approaches to art and urbanism
Walker Civic Engagement Workbook - Pete TidemannAndrea Quaranta
The document discusses how art centers can foster civic engagement through their programming. It proposes four major roles for art and artists: container, connector, convener, and catalyst. A container provides space for community, a connector links people and ideas, a convener creates impetus for gathering, and a catalyst provokes awareness or action. The document provides tools to help cultural organizations consider how their art and programming can address social issues and bring people together through commentary, dialogue, action, or leadership. It aims to help plan socially conscious events, exhibitions, and learning experiences that encourage civic involvement.
This document is a 1,502 word coursework submission for a module on Art, Performance and the City. It summarizes psychogeography as an approach to exploring cities that was defined by Guy Debord and the Situationist International in 1955 using techniques like deriving and détournement. It then analyzes several current art projects that use audio walks and playful interventions to psychogeographically map cities and uncover hidden histories, showing how psychogeography continues to influence art, cultural geography, and urban studies.
This document discusses various concepts and theories of urbanism. It begins by defining urbanism and the study of urban societies and city planning. It then discusses perspectives on how people live in densely populated areas from sociological and other lenses. It outlines different frameworks for urban planning practices around the world. It also discusses concepts like network urbanism, which applies network thinking to urban planning in response to issues with zone-based conceptions. The document also discusses mainstream vs alternative urbanism and outlines various spheres of urban design practice. It proposes new concepts are needed to embrace networks in urban planning and adapt to changing technological and social contexts. Pragmatism is discussed as a philosophical approach to urbanism emphasizing inclusion, experimentation and democracy
This 20-page document proposes reusing the Pittsburgh Civic Arena building rather than demolishing it. It summarizes the arena's history and the damage caused by its construction. The proposal suggests transforming the arena into an open civic space surrounded by new mixed-use development, restoring connections between the Hill neighborhood and downtown. Sketches and studies show how reusing the arena shell could anchor a redeveloped area while acknowledging the building's role in the community's past. The goal is to spark thought and debate around preserving and repurposing the arena site.
A short overview of the practical tools and research methods, developed by the Laboratory for Urban Games and Research while working with Vilnius public spaces and neighbourhoods since 2009.
Trumpa apžvalga dizaino paremtų tyrimo metodų ir vietokūros sprendinių, skirtų viešosioms erdvėms ir kaimynijoms, kurias miesto žaidimų ir tyrimų laboratorija Laimikis.lt plėtojo nuo 2009 m. dirbdama Vilniaus erdvėse.
This document discusses three key thinkers - Georg Simmel, Sigfried Kracauer, and Walter Benjamin - and their analyses of modernity and urban life in the early 20th century. Simmel examined how life in cities led to a more calculative and blasé mentality. Kracauer viewed the city as a place of distractions and analyzed fragments like amusement parks and movies. Benjamin looked at how modern experiences like shock were inherent to crowded cities with their overwhelming external stimulation.
This short essay is connected to the IKT (IKT - International association of curators of contemporary art) lecture presented in Siena in June 2001, titled "Anatomy of the Swiss Army Knife". This lecture addresses the do's and don't of art in the public realm, and the highly specific tools one needs to cope with the benevolent (or malevolent, for that matter) properties of the public realm in all its intricacies.
Toward an understanding of sculpture as public artKhairulEzani78
This document discusses the role of sculpture as public art. It begins by defining public art as works created for public spaces, as opposed to private collections, and intended to foster shared community meanings. The document then focuses on sculpture as a common form of public art that exists in many cultures. It discusses how sculpture and architecture both differ from other arts in their permanence within public spaces. The document examines examples like the Parthenon and Eiffel Tower to illustrate how public sculpture can represent civic ideals and events. It also notes how concepts of public art, space, and sphere have expanded with developments like electronic media and cyber art installations.
In this paper the idea of interconnection between the architectural elements / spatial organization and bodily experience of the users is applyed for analysing the cinematic architecture of J.Tati. It's a fragment of the research on the everyday use of public spaces and the role of the collective creativity in re-interpeting urban space (2oo9-2o15).
Šiame straipsnyje toliau gilinamasi į sąveiką tarp architektūrinių elementų / erdvinių konfigūracijų ir kūniškos erdvių naudotojų dinamikos (judėjimo ritmai ir trajektorijos). Analizuojami architektūriniai-kinematografiniai J. Tati eksperimentai bei siurealistų "unitarinės architektūros" koncepcija. Tai yra platesnio tyrimo, skirto miesto erdvių kasdieniams scenarijams bei miesto ritualams, fragmentas. Tyrimas buvo atliekamas 2oo9-2o15 metais, paraleliai aprobuojant vystomą metodologiją praktikoje (žr. Laimikis.lt veiklas, skirtas viešųjų erdvių gaivinimui Lietuvos ir uždienio miestuose).

The essays that make up this volume were first presented as formal
lectures in a year-long graduate research seminar in 2001-2002 at
Columbia University, conducted as a Sawyer Seminar and funded
by the Mellon Foundation. All of the essays have been updated
and rewritten since they were first presented. The seminar was
concluded two years later by a follow-up conference which gener-
ated further discussions and several more essays. Both the semi-
nar and the conference featured architects, urban historians and
theorists, anthropologists, sociologists, literary and cultural crit-
ics, curators, and writers, most of whom came from those non-
Western cities they spoke about. Two essays were commissioned
at a later time to round out the volume.
My first thanks go to the Mellon Foundation for the generous
funding and support that made the seminar possible. The Sawyer
Seminar itself was developed in close cooperation between the
Center for Comparative Literature and Society, which I directed
at the time, and the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning,
and Preservation at Columbia University. Special thanks are owed
the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation
and its deans Bernard Tschumi and his successor Mark Wigley,
the Temple Hoyne Buell Center for American Architecture and
its director Joan Ockman, and my colleagues at the Center for
Comparative Literature and Society. I am especially grateful to

NEGOTIATING THE STATIC AND KINETIC CITIES
THE EMERGENT URBANISM OF MUMBAI
Cities in India, characterized by physical and visual contra-dictions that coalesce in a landscape of incredible plural-
ism, are anticipated to be the largest urban conglomerates of the
twenty-first century. Historically, particularly during the period
of British colonization, the different worlds-whether economic,
social, or cultural-that were contained within these cities occu-
pied different spaces and operated under different rules, the aim
being to maximize control and minimize conflict between op-
posing worlds.1 Today, although these worlds have come ...
Presentation artscape, Artist in Residence ProgramWendy122561
The two artists, Wendy Wallace and Jacqueline Lemmon, are proposing a one-year artist residency program in downtown Oshawa. They are requesting donated studio space and a $10,000 stipend in exchange for creating public art installations for the city. The program aims to promote Oshawa's cultural identity, encourage other artists, and provide educational opportunities for students through mentorships.
The document discusses the tension between locality and globalization in Istanbul. As Istanbul experiences rapid globalization, its cultural identity and local values from its past are at risk of being lost. However, globalization does not necessarily require the disappearance of local differences. The challenge is how to leverage Istanbul's position at the intersection of global and local influences to create dialogue between citizens and value both local culture and contemporary trends.
The document provides details on Justin Cloyd's architectural portfolio and design philosophy. It summarizes three projects: an Old Town | Chinatown library that highlights the importance of books; a museum that cuts into its facade to allow light and views of the site; and a water filtration research plant that restores wetlands. Cloyd's work focuses on enhancing user experiences of familiar places and sparking thoughts through unexpected transformations.
This document summarizes an academic paper about how urban internet cafés connect real and virtual spaces. The paper examines how internet cafés serve as diasporic community spaces, alter perceptions of physical and social spaces, and how video game spaces overlap with the physical space of the café. It challenges the idea that virtual and real spaces are opposed, and instead shows how they are deeply interrelated, especially when brought together in a specific place like an internet café. The document provides context on debates about how communication technologies impact urban spaces and communities.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment.
