Maputo, cidade aberta – Maputo, open city

Fabio Vanin (2013). Maputo, cidade aberta – Maputo, open city.

The book is the result of the investigation conducted in the Mozambican Capital by the author for his Ph.D in Urbanism (IUAV University of Venice, IT) and aims at highlighting some of the most relevant urban, architectural, social and cultural features of the city that are today confronted with the rapid transformations caused by the economic growth of the country. This delicate moment poses urgent questions on the future urban development that is divided by opposed forces: the ambition of becoming another Dubai and the struggle of keeping the existing identity.

Of Planting and Planning. The making of British colonial cities

Robert Home (2013). Of Planting and Planning

The making of British colonial cities. London: Routledge

 

 

«Of Planting and Planning explores how Britain used the formation of towns and cities as an instrument of colonial expansion and control throughout the Empire. Beginning with the seventeenth-century plantation of Ulster and ending with decolonization after the Second World War, Robert Home reveals how the British Empire gave rise to many of the biggest cities in the world and how colonial policy and planning had a profound impact on the form and functioning of those cities.

This second edition retains the thematic, chronological and interdisciplinary approach of the first, each chapter identifying a key element of colonial town planning. New material and illustrations have been added, incorporating the author's further research since the first edition. Most importantly, Of Planting and Planning remains the only book to cover the whole sweep of British colonial urbanism.»

Relectures des travaux de la Commission d’extension de Paris : rapport et concours 1911-1919

Inventer le Grand Paris

Relectures des travaux de la Commission d’extension de Paris : rapport et concours 1911-1919

Paris, Les 5 et 6 décembre 2013

 

École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture Paris-Belleville, Paris, France

 

 « La publication en 1913 du Rapport de la Commission d’extension de Paris inaugure la formulation d’un projet d’ensemble pour un « Grand Paris », ainsi dénommé pour la première fois dans un document officiel de cette importance. Ses principaux auteurs sont l’architecte-voyer Louis Bonnier (1856-1946), directeur du service de l'architecture et des plantations de Paris, et l’archiviste-historien Marcel Poëte (1866-1950), conservateur à la Bibliothèque historique de la ville de Paris, qui sont tous deux investis dans des cercles de réflexion, comme le Musée social. Leur rapport sera à l’origine du concours international pour « l’extension de Paris et l’aménagement de la région parisienne » qui interviendra après la guerre, en 1919. Inscrit dans le cadre de la loi Cornudet, imposant un plan d’aménagement, d’embellissement et d’extension à toutes les villes françaises de plus de 10 000 habitants, ce concours sera remporté par le Grand Prix de Rome, Léon Jaussely (1875-1932).

Le contexte de l’époque est marqué par la pression démographique qui reconfigure la morphologie de la grande ville et de ses marges. Cette pression interfère sur les chantiers de l’hygiène sociale et les débats sur le désenclavement, l’équipement et l’aménagement du Grand Paris. La planification urbaine est aussi une question sociale, politique et administrative. Elle est liée au rôle des élites municipales parisiennes et suburbaines, à leurs réseaux associatifs et à l’instance de régulation qu’est le département de la Seine avec sa préfecture et ses commissions où se nouent les compromis autour de l’application de nouvelles politiques publiques.

Le centenaire de la publication du Rapport de la Commission d’extension de Paris est l’occasion d’interroger la genèse du Grand Paris dans sa forme métropolitaine et sa gouvernance. Au-delà d’une célébration anniversaire, il s’agit de questionner la relation à l’histoire des aménageurs et des planificateurs de la région parisienne au cours du XXe siècle.

Nous faisons l’hypothèse que l’histoire a aussi été marquée par la transmission, l’expérience accumulée. Les textes de 1913, jalon longtemps oublié, en sont à cet égard un excellent indicateur.

 

L’objectif du colloque étant de réévaluer cette première tentative de planification au regard de la période pionnière de l’urbanisme.»

«O Estudo que José-Augusto França realizou em 1967, por convite do Presidente da Câmara Municipal de Lisboa (CML), António Vitorino da França Borges, encontra-se arquivado no processo privativo 1.1.8/1.ª/0/70. Este processo inclui também documentação referente à Proposta para a Salvaguarda do Património Artístico Arquitectónico e Histórico dos Bairros Tradicionais da Cidade de Lisboa, a análise ao Estudo efectuada pelos serviços de urbanismo (à data a 1.ª Repartição — Planeamento) e o Inventário de Monumentos Municipais, encomendado pela CML a Gustavo de Matos Sequeira em 1950. O Estudo foi executado entre Maio e Dezembro de 1967 e é constituído por:
— um documento escrito estruturado em 4 partes;
— 36 plantas de diferentes escalas (1:25000, 1:10000, 1:5000 e 1:2000) e 6 desenhos;
— um levantamento fotográfico composto por 292 imagens, realizado no início de 1968 por Armando Serôdio, cujos negativos se encontram no Arquivo Fotográfico da CML.
Na versão editada que aqui se apresenta, o texto do Estudo é reproduzido na íntegra, sendo da responsabilidade da coordenação editorial as notas de rodapé e toda a informação colocada entre parêntesis rectos. As plantas foram refeitas em ArcGis sobre a mesma cartografia utilizada no Estudo (Levantamento Cartográfico de 1950, Instituto Geográfico e Cadastral) e os alçados pombalinos foram redesenhados em CAD.» (texto da INCM)

ESF Research Networking Programme PALATIUM

PALATIUM

 

«PALATIUM is a Research Networking Programme financed by the European Science Foundation (ESF). It brings together scholars from different fields across Europe to promote transdisciplinary and transnational research on Court Residences as Places of Exchange in Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe (1400-1700). During its five-year running period, from June 2010 to May 2015, PALATIUM will stimulate exchanges of knowledge and experience on this topic between historians, architectural historians, art historians and researchers from related disciplines in various meetings, workshops, conferences, and summer schools.»
.
«The ESF Research Networking Programme PALATIUM aims at creating a common forum for research on the late medieval and early modern European court residence or “palace” (palatium) in an interdisciplinary perspective. The world of the courts 1400-1700 constituted a network of truly European scale and international character, but its architecture is only rarely studied in its “connectivity”. Here the “palace” is seen as a place for cultural exchange. Human interaction in this space is regulated and codified by a set of rules, known as the “ceremonial”. The interaction between palace architecture (tangible) and the ceremonial (intangible, but known through a set of tangible testimonials of different types, written and visual) is one of the key questions the PALATIUM network aims to address. The palace’s space and form carry multiple connotations. To the informed observer they represent power, lineage, and tradition versus innovation. The decoding of this system of signs necessitates input not only of architectural and art historians, but also of various other disciplines, such as archaeology, politics, literature, theatre and music. The PALATIUM programme specifically wants to encourage the debate on method in the field. It aims at stimulating exchanges of knowledge and experience between historians, architectural historians, art historians and researchers from related disciplines, while building up a network of scholars and institutes from a large number of European countries, so as to mirror the international network of courts that is being examined.»
