Beijing China Courtyard House 2017 02 22Joe Carter
The Chinese Courtyard House
Joe Carter, a graduate of the School of Architecture, McGill (1972) lived in China (mostly in Beijing) for thirty years (1985-2015). This presentation is in five parts, and discusses the Chinese courtyard house primarily in the context of Beijing.
Part 1 is a brief introduction at the typology and construction of the courtyard house.
Part 2 introduces some of the cultural, cosmological underpinnings of the Chinese courtyard house and its city setting.
Part 3 looks at the above patterns as an urban spatial order.
Part 4 describes some of the efforts at preservation and regeneration in old Beijing.
Part 5 proposes that the courtyard is a deep-seated Eastern pattern, that is persisting and re-appearing - at a larger scale and higher density - in the residential compounds that are the basic building blocks of China’s recent urban explosion. The courtyard house was originally designed for the extended family; the new residential compound courtyards are for the neighbourhood, an emerging and increasingly self-managed urban territory and social unit.
In this webinar AWS Technical Evangelist, Ian Massingham, discusses the role that AWS services can play in helping you to derive value from your data, from stream processing with Amazon Kinesis, techniques for managing ingest of large data sets, through to processing data with Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR) and its ecosystem of tools and running large scale data warehouses on AWS with Redshift.
