FORM OF PLACE, part 1

 

Form of place. Relation between Physical Form and place attachment

di Rouhollah Rahimi, Mojtaba Ansari, Mohammad Reza Bemanian, Mohammadjavad Mahdavinejad

 

The sense of place is the factor that transforms a space into a place with the sensory characteristics and special treatment for specific individuals. Place is a sensible and perceived space and associated with memory, that part of its meaning can be traced in human experience and emotions. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the efficacy and role of architectural form and structure of environment to create positive and negative emotions in the human mind over the place. To achieve this purpose in the research process Descriptive analytical method by composition the sample examining “garden-tomb of Hafez”, is used. The result is that the physical environment and form through specific mechanisms involved in the sense of place and In the sample survey the fact that the structure of form of this place consists of components that not only create a sense of place, but effect on other factors that create the sense of place, is provided.

PLACE, MEMORY AND RUIN

 

Place, Memory and Ruin: for an architecture that preserves the value of the historicity of the place

di Martim Guimarães da Costa

 

Valorizzare il progetto e il paesaggio attraverso la scoperta di frammenti o realtà incomplete, cristallizzate nel tempo, compone una cornice figurativa, il cui atto di design in architettura, come forma di riflessione sull’architettura stessa, il luogo e il contesto, scatena un risultato di un scontro tra due annunciatori: la parola storica di rovina e la parola del nuovo costruito.

Valuing the project and landscape through the discovery of fragments or incomplete realities, crystallized in time, composes a figurative frame, whose act of design in architecture, as a form of reflection on architecture itself, the place and the context, unleashes a result of a clash between two announcers: the historical word of ruin and the word of the new built.

Martim Guimarães da Costa received his master’s degree in Architecture at University of the Beira Interior. In his master’s thesis, he used the written and constructed works of the architects Eduardo Souto de Mouro and Giorgio Grassi, using their preexistence intervention methodologies in order to analyze the relationship between the ruins and the landscapes where they are inserted. He is an architect and his work is carried out at various scales, from urban planning to furniture design. He designed single-family houses, multifamily housing, museums, services, commerce and public spaces, in study and execution projects in various contexts, such as for new construction, restoration, preservation, rehabilitation and urban regeneration. Currently, his research interest focuses on urban regeneration policies, areas of urban rehabilitation and preservation of built heritage.

FORESTA E CITTÀ

 

Foresta e Città. Breve storia della foresta e del suo rapporto con la città.

di Giulia Pandolfi

 

A lungo la foresta è stata associata alle paure primordiali dell’uomo, determinandosi pian piano come archetipo. Per comprendere i molteplici significati che questa luogo dell’ignoto acquista nel nostro immaginario e nell’ambiente urbano odierno è necessario effettuare un breve escursus sull’accezione del termine e dei vari altri vocaboli ad esso collegati . Inoltre, solo attraverso l’analisi dei vari significati che ha acquistato nella storia, arriveremo a comprendere più precisamente il contemporaneo concetto di ‘Foresta Urbana’ e di come essa stia esprimendo un rinnovato bisogno di ‘wilderness’.

For a long time the forest has been associated with the primordial fears ofhuman beings, slowly becoming an archetype. To understand the multiple meanings that this place of the unknown acquires in our imagination and in today’s urban environment, it is necessary to make a brief excursus on the different meanings the term can take, as well as on some other words related to it. Moreover, only going through the various meanings that it has acquired in history, we will come to understand more truly the contemporary concept of Urban Forest and how it expresses a renewed need for ‘wilderness’.

Giulia Pandolfi, laureata in Architettura – Progettazione Urbana all’Università Roma Tre, ha conseguito nell’aprile 2018 il dottorato di ricerca in “Paesaggi della Città Contemporanea. Politiche, tecniche e studi visuali”presso la stessa università. Si occupa di urbanistica e paesaggio e nell’ambito della formazione dottorale ha approfondito i problemi e le opportunità della gestione dell’acqua piovana, vista come sfida ma anche risorsa per la progettazione dell’habitat urbano.
