Abstract:
Gospel Practice Interpretation continues in the early chapters of Mark's Gospel in reflections by contemporary inner city urban ministers and community workers on the variety of ways in which their Gospel practice and witness are received in their experience. Such varied “reception” seems to be like the early disciples' experiences, and even to suggest proper and expected ways in which faithful gospel embodiment produces “results”, as Jesus experienced.

Abstract:
In this paper, we develop a brief analysis of the relationship between afro-diasporic dissident bodies, urban territory, and contemporary art. To investigate these categories, we start from an interdisciplinary framework, analyzing, from a decolonial perspective, counter-hegemonic subjectivities traversed by the body experience — racialized, gendered, unclassified - as well as specific artistic practices that tension such experiences. Key-Words: decoloniality; afro-diasporic bodies; contemporary art; urban space.

Abstract:
Deriving from Foucault’s work, space is understood to be crucial in explaining social power relations. However, not only is space crucial to the exercise of power but power also creates a particular kind of space. Through surveillance cameras the panoptic technology of power is electronically extended. The article examines parallelisms and differences with the Panopticon and contemporary cities: visibility, unverifiability, contextual control, absence of force and internalisation of control. Surveillance is examined as an emotional event, which is often ambivalent or mutable, without sound dynamic of security and insecurity nor power and resistance. Control seems to become dispersed and the ethos of mechanistic discipline replaced by flexible power structures. Surveillance becomes more subtle and intense, fusing material urban space and cyberspace. This makes it impossible to understand the present forms of control via analysing physical space. Rather, space is to be understood as fundamentally social, mutable, fluid and unmappable – ‘like a sparkling water’. The meaning of documentary accumulation changes with the ‘digital turn’ which enables social sorting. The popularity of ‘webcams’ demonstrate that there is also fascination in being seen. The amount of the visual representations expands as they are been circulated globally. Simultaneously the individuals increasingly ‘disappear’ in the ‘televisualisation’ of their lives. The individual urban experience melts to the collective imagination of the urban. It is argued that CCTV is a bias: surveillance systems are presented as ‘closed’ but, eventually, are quite the opposite. We are facing ‘the cam era’ – an era of endless representations.

Abstract:
Based on precedent theories on collective memory and urban studies, this article develops a framework of approach to contemporary urban collective memory. Understanding urban collective memory by handling people and urban space as a system provides a sociospatial perspective for critical approaches to cities. The study initially provides overviews of theoretical approaches to collective memory and city, and then puts forth constituents of urban collective memory. Based on these constituents, contemporary urban collective memory is discussed, and a framework for analyzing contemporary cities in terms of urban space and urban experience is introduced. For a clear portrayal of urban issues within the context, the introduced framework is devised through the case of Ankara, the capital city of Turkey and the inspiring force behind this study. This framework aims to present a ground to assess people’s relation to urban spaces in the contemporary era.

Full text
Abstract:
This research entitled Images of the urban experience in contemporary painting began as an investigation into the consequences of urbanism such as human alienation and personal detachment. As a studio based research, this practice was based on five individual exhibitions of contemporary paintings accompanied by four underlying theoretical exegeses. These components together with the involvement in various group exhibitions, awards and professional practice documented in a research portfolio were developed over a three-year period. As each series of paintings was exhibited, new priorities and directions were established. These developments ranged from documentation of the decline in the conscious organisation of urban life images to the utilisation of media and techniques to promote greater fluidity and painting spontaneity. The theme of human alienation in this investigation developed into a focus on the existential predicament of place-bereft individuals. As the nature of location was brought into focus, an exploration of the influence and question of place emerged. This concept gave rise to an investigation into place-panic or human anxiety at the prospect of an unknown place.

Musgrave, George. "Creativity, capital and entrepreneurship : the contemporary experience of competition in UK urban music." Thesis, University of East Anglia, 2014. https://ueaeprints.uea.ac.uk/53431/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores how a competitive marketplace is experienced by creative labour in the context of UK urban music by employing an experimental ethnographic research approach. Between 2010-2013, observations, interviews and textual analysis were conducted with two case-study ‘MCs’, alongside reflexive autoethnographic analysis of the author’s own career as an unsigned artist. The findings contribute to the study of competitiveness by highlighting how it is understood from the perspective of producers, as well as to a wider body of qualitative academic literature exploring the ways in which creative labour operates in advanced markets. It is proposed that in an increasingly competitive context, cultural intermediaries assume a crucial role in the lives of artists for their ability to act as both a distributor and a distinguisher, thereby addressing the work of cultural sociologists and creative labour scholars that debates the role of intermediaries in cultural markets. The methods of artistic collaboration which creative labour employ to capture the attention of these intermediaries, demonstrates that competitiveness can engender collaboration. However, this co-operation often takes place for self-interested reasons, challenging the oppositional dynamic between self-interest and cooperation. Furthermore, the ways in which creative labour acquires, maximises and converts forms of Bourdieu-defined capital today is illusory, as artists can acquire large amounts of institutionalised cultural capital and thus appear very successful, while struggling to monetise this success. The thesis thus highlights how technological changes in the marketplace have altered processes of capital transubstantiation. Finally, this research proposes that the behavioural responses to competitiveness by contemporary creative labour can be understood as an entrepreneurial orientation towards creativity. It contributes to debates about the impact of entrepreneurship on artists, by suggesting that whilst it can have damaging emotional implications evidenced in frustration and disillusionment, it largely helps creativity for the way in which it motivates artists.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the shifting cultural identities of young Owambo migrants living in Babilon, an informal settlement on the outskirts of Windhoek, Namibia. Through an investigation of their social, cultural and economic lives, I show how these young people invoke their Owambo-ness, but how they also transcend their ethnic identifications through engaging in an emerging Namibian youth culture, which cuts across rural-urban, ethnic, and socio-economic divides. I argue that young migrants from Ovamboland, who intend to escape their poverty stricken rural homes and arrive on packed busses, bringing with them few possessions and great expectations, constantly shift and resituate their cultural identities while trying to make a living in the city. These young people are eager to engage fully in a better life and hope to find employment in the urban economy. For many, however, this remains just that &ndash
hope. In their daily lives, the young migrants replicate, reproduce and represent rural Owambo within the urban space. Using the examples of &lsquo
traditional&rsquo
food and small-scale urban agriculture, I explore how their ideas of Owambo-ness are imagined, enforced and lived in Babilon. I argue that although migrants identify themselves in many ways with their rural homes, and retain rural values and practices to a large extent, this does not mean that they would remain &ldquo
tribesmen&rdquo
, as earlier, how classic studies in Southern African urban anthropology argued (Mayer 1961
Wilson and Mafeje 1963). They also appropriate &ldquo
ideologies&rdquo
and practices of the emerging Namibian youth culture, especially popular local music and cell phones. My study thus shows that the migrants develop multiple, fluid identities (with reference to Bank 2002)
they identify concurrently with the urban and the rural and develop a synthesis of both. The thesis is based on ethnographic research, which was conducted between February and May 2008. During the fieldwork, I engaged daily in informal discussions with many residents of Babilon, and carried out life history interviews, focus group discussions, and in-depth interviews with key research participants.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the dynamics of narrative production and contestation within individuals’ stories and the collective stories of the communities in which they live. The research is focused on trying to understand the relationship between public stories constructed about place and community, and the stories told by the inhabitants of those places. A case study in the city of Bradford provides a focus for inquiry. A qualitative research design is utilised, combining theory with primary data collection and analysis. A narrative analysis of national, academic and local stories about Bradford is used to disaggregate collective narratives of the city and explore the relationship between popular, political and academic discourses. It provides a context for the analysis of in-depth interviews with a range of inhabitants from a selected geographic area within Bradford, centred on how their individual stories relate to the identified collective stories of Bradford. Analysis of the fieldwork data shows that individuals are often engaged in complex negotiations of public discourse in ways that may reinforce and contest existing stories, but also complement them with parallel stories that neither reinforce nor contest but construct a different narrative. It reveals and reflects on apparent contradictions within everyday storytelling, for example, how nostalgia can be displayed about harsh times of socio-economic decline, or how attitudes to change over time can be variably positive and negative depending both on the speakers’ positioning of themselves and of the interviewer, and the speakers’ purpose in the interaction.

Nomadismo, errÃncia, solidÃo, narcisismo e impulsividade sÃo algumas das caracterÃsticas deste sujeito. O tempo à mais acelerado e o espaÃo mais compactado de modo que a velocidade forÃada a que somos submetidos nos leva Ãs psicopatologias contemporÃneas tÃpicas do ritmo de vida das grandes cidades. As formas de sociabilidade contemporÃneas ganham laÃos mais tÃnues, tendo em vista que a cultura hoje enfatiza valores como a descartabilidade, o presente imediato, a emergÃncia, o imediatismo das aÃÃes e a compulsÃo.

This essay discusses contemporary urban experience as presented in the fiction of Brazilian Writer Caio Fernando Abreu (1948-1996) with special attention to his imagery of time and space. The experience of individuals living in a consumer society produces particular modes of thought, action, feeling and loving which are related to contemporary perceptions of time and space. Errantry, loneliness, narcissism and impulsivity are some of the psychological features of postmodern subjectivity. Accelerated time and compact space developed/emerged specially in the second half of twentieth century along with new technologies of communication and transport seem connected to the new psychopathologies observed in typical contemporary urban life. Todayâs social patterns gain fragile ties due to the reinforcement of values like dischargeability, emphasis on immediate present time and compulsion. Perception, attention and memory have changed according to substantial transformations in the historical and cultural context of late capitalism and these changes also occur on the levels of individual and collective conscience and interpretation of reality. Abreuâs literature present the various faces of contemporary processes of production of subjectivity in characters, plots and scenarios which represent global urban experience, with particular focus on Brazilian context and conditions of modernization. In fact his short-stories, novels and personal letters reveal deep social criticism to grievous situations in which individuals at the end of the century find themselves. Particularly his texts reflect on the singularities of Brazilian globalization experience which involve broad aspects broad aspects like the peripherical insertion of the nation in capitalism and some political paths that led to military dictatorship, as well as more intimate and subjective experiences figured in terms of values, dreams, fears, points of view of life and art shared by the writer and his generation. The result is a literature that reveals traits of countercultural and postmodernist tendencies in its themes and forms of narration.

Resumo: O presente trabalho tem por objetivo investigar as articulações entre desencontro, cidade e experiência urbana contemporânea em contos de Caio Fernando Abreu. Para tanto, foram selecionados dez contos dos livros O ovo apunhalado (2001), Morangos mofados (1982), Os dragões não conhecem o paraíso (1988) e Ovelhas negras (2002). Sustenta-se como hipótese que o desencontro se caracteriza como uma proposta estética na obra de Caio Fernando Abreu, que constrói o olhar, por muitas vezes crítico, do escritor sobre a cidade e a experiência urbana. O estudo do desencontro, neste trabalho, contempla quatro diferentes formas de manifestação dessa experiência: 1) o desencontro como dificuldade de comunicação e de troca de experiências; 2) a constituição de diálogos desencontrados; 3) o desencontro entre presente e passado na vivência do personagem marcada por frustração ou trauma; e 4) o desencontro do personagem consigo mesmo. O desencontro, na obra de Caio Fernando Abreu, será analisado em conjunto com as considerações de Walter Benjamin (1986; 1994) sobre experiência, perda da experiência e narração. O conceito de história, também de Walter Benjamin (2005), será importante para a compreensão da representação da história recente do país, em contos de Caio Fernando Abreu. Buscamos investigar, nos contos, os principais procedimentos narrativos que constituem a experiência do desencontro, a saber, a construção de personagens estereótipos, o anonimato, a construção de diálogos desencontrados, a construção de monólogos que, por vezes, se aproximam da noção de testemunho, a citação, a ironia e a não resolução do conflito dramático no desfecho das narrativas.
Abstract: The aim of this study is to investigate the articulations between disencounter, city and contemporary urban experience in short-stories by Caio Fernando Abreu. Ten short-stories from his works O ovo apunhalado (2001), Morangos mofados (1982), Os dragões não conhecem o paraíso (1988) and Ovelhas negras (2002) were selected. Our hypothesis is that the disencounter is an aesthetic proposition in the work of Caio Fernando Abreu, constructing the critical view of the writer about the city and the urban experience. The study of disencounter, in this work, comprises four different forms of manifestation of this experience: 1) the disencounter as difficulty of communication and change of experiences; 2) the building of disencountered dialogues; 3) the disencounter between present and past in the life of the character marked by frustration and trauma; and 4) the disencounter of the character with himself. The disencounter, in the work of Caio Fernando Abreu, shall be analyzed according to the ideas of Walter Benjamin (1986; 1994) on experience; the loss of experience and narrative. The concept of history, also by Walter Benjamin (2005); shall be important to understand the representation of the Brazilian recent history in short-stories by Caio Fernando Abreu. It will be studied, in the short-stories, the main narrative procedures which constitute the experience of disencounter, as the construction of stereotyped characters, the anonymity; the building of disencountered dialogues; the building of monologues which, sometimes, can be seen as a testimony; the quotation; the irony and the absence of a resolution of the dramatic conflict at the end of the narratives.

Abstract:
At a time when intense dynamics of urban development of Asian cities puzzle and disorient, Ideas of the City in Asian Settings offers knowledge about the concepts, representations, and ideas that lie beneath the historical and contemporary production of cities in Asia, in order to deepen our understanding of the processes and meanings of urban development in the continent. The book sheds more light on the vast array of rules and innovations and aspirations that make cities into complex objects that are continuously ‘in the making’. Because Asian cities have experienced unprecedented dynamics of urban development during the last fifty years, they are considered as crucial places to question the perspectives that multiple actors project onto changing urban environments, as well as the evolution of the role of cities in globalisation.

Abstract:
Migration is not a state of emergency, but a basic existential experience of humanity. It shapes contemporary societies by challenging established orders, creating transnational spaces beyond national hegemonies, creating new economies, influencing urban and communal ways of life, making inequality and precariousness visible locally and globally. Migration research as a social science does not narrow the focus to 'the migrants', but investigates the conditions for living together and shaping life between ethnicization and pluralization, discrimination and empowerment, division and participation. The Yearbook Migration and Society repeatedly turns the prism of narrative anew. The 2020/2021 edition focuses on the topic "Beyond Borders".

Full text
Abstract:
From user-generated images of streets to professional architectural renderings, and from digital maps and drone footages to representations of invisible digital ecologies, this collection of essays analyses the emergent practices of visualizing the street. Today, advancements in digital technologies of the image have given rise to the production and dissemination of imagery of streets and urban realities in multiple forms. The ubiquitous presence of digital visualizations has in turn created new forms of urban practice and modes of spatial encounter. Everyone who carries a smartphone not only plays an increasingly significant role in the production, editing and circulation of images of the street, but also relies on those images to experience urban worlds and to navigate in them. Such entangled forms of image-making and image-sharing have constructed new imaginaries of the street and have had a significant impact on the ways in which contemporary and future streets are understood, imagined, documented, navigated, mediated and visualized. Visualizing the Street investigates the social and cultural significance of these new developments at the intersection of visual culture and urban space. The interdisciplinary essays provide new concepts, theories and research methods that combine close analyses of street images and imaginaries with the study of the practices of their production and circulation. The book covers a wide range of visible and invisible geographies — From Hong Kong’s streets to Rio’s favelas, from Sydney’s suburbs to London’s street markets, and from Damascus’ war-torn streets to Istanbul’s sidewalks — and engages with multiple ways in which visualizations of the street function to document street protests and urban change, to build imaginaries of urban communities and alternate worlds, and to help navigate streetscapes.

Full text
Abstract:
Did ordinary Italians have a ‘Renaissance’? This book presents the first in-depth exploration of how artisans and small local traders experienced the material and cultural Renaissance. Drawing on a rich blend of sixteenth-century visual and archival evidence, it examines how individuals and families at artisanal levels (such as shoemakers, barbers, bakers and innkeepers) lived and worked, managed their household economies and consumption, socialised in their homes, and engaged with the arts and the markets for luxury goods. It demonstrates that although the economic and social status of local craftsmen and traders was relatively low, their material possessions show how these men and women who rarely make it into the history books were fully engaged with contemporary culture, cultural customs and the urban way of life.

AbstractIn the post-1945 world, Finnish schools were appointed the new task of fostering democratic values and educating peace-loving citizens. By exploring postwar art and environmental education in Helsinki, understood as means to expand children’s emotional competences, Malinen and Vahtikari provide a unique analysis of the ways educators, children and urban space co-produced the nation in everyday (school) practices. Malinen and Vahtikari show the importance of fully acknowledging the spatial, material and sensory aspects of emotions when discussing children’s emotional formation and historical manifestations of everyday nationalism. To illustrate the adult-children co-creation of different ideas, practices and emotions with respect to the national community, the chapter uses two sets of contemporary sources: educators’ writings and children’s drawings.

AbstractThe chapter explores the way in which people under conditions of movement and change deal with plurality in contemporary urban settings by tracing the home-making experiences of a group of Mexican professionals in Madrid (postgraduate students, academics, IT professionals, journalists, and others). While their idea of home aligns discursively within an ideal version of cosmopolitanism (“at home everywhere”), in practice their strategies to feel at home in Madrid show that these privileged movers tend to rely on specific though generic places characterized by their homogenizing tendencies, such as hotel chains, generic coffee places and airports, to achieve a feeling of home.

Through examining use of mobile in Pakistan's Sindh province, the current chapter presents a unique and interesting case of the socio-economic impacts of mobile use on users' lifestyles. Although there exists an obvious divide between urban and rural areas in terms of impacts of mobile use, the case of Pakistan could serve as an alert to scholars that why mobile use remains limited in narrowing the gap between urban and rural areas against a backdrop of mobile being widely believed to be able to play a big role in narrowing the social and economic gap between urban and rural areas. The author of this chapter found that mobile use was also gender-biased in rural areas, resulting in a gap between males and females as far as social and economic impacts of mobile use on their lifestyles.

The first footbridge, located in an urban site, is an arch made of Ultra-High-Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC). The design technique combines the use of a contemporary material with the reappropriation of ancestral methods. The second footbridge, located in a remarkable natural site and made of weathering steel, presents both a tie-arch and truss structure. This minimalist conception leads to a “low- cost” structure.</p>

Abstract:
This article covers some new forms of publicness in the field of art culture of the Russian city of Perm, e.g. dramatics as a performance in a street environment, and synthetic museum-theatrical form under the conditions of a stage box. The study was accomplished mainly via culturological method. At one time theatre left the urban environment, but in the 21st century theatrical forms have begun to permeate urban space again, the statement primarily concerns site-specific theatre. This is equivalent to the birth of new theatrical-city publicity, a new modality of the interpenetration of the public and the private. One of the best-known theatrical projects in this field is ‘Remote X’ (‘Rimini Protokoll’ band). Here, the close co-existence habitual to city dwellers turns into a social substrate, and a way to implement interpersonal artistic communication, thereby largely changing the disposition of the former, and transforming itself. Another new form of relationship between collective and individual aspects in the public sphere is the synthetic museum-theatre form, on the example of immersion dramatics ‘Permian Pantheon’ (Perm Academic Theatre, stager Dmitry Volkostrelov). The natural ‘calendar-seasonal’ tempo-rhythm of the dramatics creates a triple semantic effect risen from artistic reality. It immerses the viewer into the process of traditional subsistence in whole (actualisation of the cultural collective unconscious), represents cultural phenomena (which corresponds to the culture-focused paradigm of artistic consciousness of the second half of the 20th century to the early 21st century), reaches the level of worldview values, the philosophical generalisation of cultural-existential reality. Thus, on the example of two Perm theatrical plays the author can speak about the origin of new forms of publicness in contemporary culture to entail new relationships between publicity and privacy in the current realities.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT: Do we need urban planning? For a better future, for a better territorial integration, for attending collective demands? New York is at the other side of the usual answer. Manhattan is an example of the versatility of a single pattern, drawn on a paper over a territory with very different features. When it comes to reality, it uniforms it, and fills it with progressive, unattended and renewed demands, with no more plan than the one that is demanded by an efficient economic system. Its urban plan (?) has just attended, quickly, private demands, giving flexibility to ground uses and GFAs, with no more worries than its functionality. As the only stable issue, as simple and clear as possible, has been the link between urban space and territory through a universal but fixed pattern. It allows free deals between developers and authority, respecting very few regulations, to enable changes, constructions, knocking offs and rehabilitations far from the European style urban plans. Which is its future in a democratic and free society? A government based constantly and with transparency on assemblies, not in a Plan, that can assure equal treatments and fair deals of the initiatives towards the community? Some of the proposals accepted in Manhattan, where the urban shape at its simplest stage of a horizontal pattern unchanged in its 200 years of existence, show us the success and failures of this system. Adapted from the beginning to a traded world, it has no bad urban nor social conscience. This frame match perfectly the precapitalism of its founders with the demands of a contemporary globalized society.

Abstract:
The idea of having an area undergo revitalization carries with it some hope that a newness of some sort would possibly emerge if at all the end goal is attained. Observations around the world have been made on the impact that comes along with revitalization thus in a bid to not only partake in developing selected areas, policy makers also work tirelessly to bring the experience of such achievements to the locals hence sustaining the sensitivity of the flagship projects. Likoni, located in the southern region of Mombasa County, is one of the vibrant towns along the endowed Kenyan coast region. Recently, it has undergone a series of urbanization protocols although much can still be done to raise her status as a proper hub of urbanization. Being another town in a ‘global south’ region, it faces numerous challenges both internally and externally hence a limiting factor to its development.

Abstract:
In the framework of a broader disciplinary debate (regarding the urban regions’ peri-urban areas and the fragmented and discontinuous dimension of the contemporary territory), the contribution presents a design exploration focusing on the definition of the new guidelines for the functional poles’ territorial agreements in the Metropolitan City of Bologna, Italy. The experience has been developed in connection with the new city’s PTM - Metropolitan Territorial Plan. In this specific context, the functional poles represent the large service structures and settlement on a metropolitan scale, elements at the core of the previous polycentric strategy, linked to railway infrastructures and with the aim of controlled growth. In the process for the new guideline’s definition, a “tester” - composed by a general scheme, guidelines of interventions and a wide range of references - was developed. The need to introduce new elements for the design of the metropolitan poles, in addition to the traditional ones, was strongly indicated and developed. The new guidelines elements are connected to the issues of habitability, regeneration, spatial and functional articulation. In particular, they focus on new forms of mobility’s, connections and paths within the territory, internal structures’ articulation, and poles’ open spaces qualification.

In Post-Oil City Planning for Urban Green Deals Virtual Congress. ISOCARP, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.47472/brdx7943.

Full text
Abstract:
Many people consider Al Wakrah to be a distinctive settlement for cultural heritage in the State of Qatar. Based on archaeological evidence, the area of Al Wakrah was perhaps the first urban center of Qatar. Originally a fishing and pearling village like the capital city of Doha, globalization and rapid urbanization also characterized the development of Al Wakrah over the last halfcentury, leading to a remarkable transformation in the morphology of the settlement. The paper studies this morphological transformation of Al Wakrah and the consequences for socioeconomic and functional use. In doing so, the paper offers some clarity about the identity and dynamics of Al Wakrah as a traditional heritage district today; specifically, Souq Al Wakrah. We explore this within the context of traditional marketplaces in general, and souqs in the Arab States of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region in particular. The study explores the symbiotic relationship between urban morphology, land use, and function in settlement form. The purpose is to develop a deeper understanding of urban changes and expansion on the use and experience of Souq Wakrah as a public place today. Researchers apply several representational techniques standard in morphological studies, including analysis of urban spatial networks using space syntax. The findings of the paper indicate the design and planning nature of Souq Wakrah as a contemporary heritage re-creation. It contrasts with more straightforward examples of historic preservation and restoration in other traditional marketplaces of Qatar itself and elsewhere in the world. This situation arose due to the nearcomplete demolition of most historic structures in Al Wakrah during the recent past, except for a few isolated examples. However, a few important ‘traces’ of Al Wakrah’s morphological history remain consistent over time, despite the dramatic transformations in the rest of the settlement over time. The paper concludes by discussing the potential implications for design and planning policy in the protection and preservation of historic resources in the State of Qatar. It argues for the critical importance of developing a clear understanding of the relationship between form, function, and the urban context of such places in future preservation projects.

Abstract:
Reuse of urban defensive heritage in AlgeriaThe growing interest in the heritage that contemporary society carries with it, and which is reflected in the extent of the debates and issues relating to its preservation and enhancement, runs up, most of the time, to the authentic memory / memory dichotomy. Dynamic. That being said, the reuse of built heritage in the process of renewing the image of our cities (use-value) becomes dependent on a global conception included in a sustainable urban development approach. The monumental heritage, subdivided, generally, into five categories namely; religious, hospitable and funeral, civil (public or private), agricultural and industrial and finally military, raises enormous problems as for its reuse. These are more pronounced towards the military-defensive architecture that is the subject of this contribution. In Algeria, defensive architecture occupies an important part in its heritage site. The typological diversity –the result of a long stratification from the early antiquity to the middle of the last century– as well as the dominant position occupied by this defensive heritage abandoned in the current urban landscape imposes a more urgent care. Therefore, we want, through this communication, to lay the first steps of a patrimonial approach to highlight this or these unknown military architectures and preserve our defensive heritage for which the collective memory is not attested and still painful. The reuse of the defensive heritage in Algeria must first and foremost go through its identification, inventory its various typologies, evaluate its current physical impact and finally explore the different urban alternatives that will result from its reintegration into the urban experience and for sustainable cities and citizens.

Abstract:
Obtaining a home in Syria has been an equivalent to a strategic goal around which the life of the Syrian citizen revolves. Housing was one of the problematic crises before the war, which accelerated due to the war. Moreover, this turned into a humanitarian disaster, and the situation has become more urgent and requires immediate treatment. The solution of this demolition is not limited to an easy rebuilding and needs a more sustainable and qualified policy in order to prevent to turn back to the existing crisis before the war. This paper focuses on finding an appropriate strategy to respond to the housing crisis in Syria in the light of successful implementations of social housing. In order to achieve that, after a literature review of the general context of social housing, the Singapore social housing experience has been analyzed. Considering the housing problems and implementations in Syria (before and after the war) in a comparative evaluation with the Singapore experience, some strategies have been suggested, along with discussing the transfer of this experience to the Syrian context. Although applying a social housing system in a country that has had a failed experiment is not an easy task, the study proposes a list of recommendations for developing a social housing strategy based on a clear legal framework which also provides a base for social housing. In addition to defining all the criteria related to social housing, such as the target groups, the type of housing, the available financing methods, and focusing on urban planning and architecture for the importance of their role in creating a peaceful coexistence in the conflicting societies.

Abstract:
In a world stressed by a cultural crisis, carachterised by excessive abstraction and virtuality (ex: R.Reich’s Symbolic-analysts or/and R. Florida’s Creatives), observing self built city constitute not an escape but an exploration to change our point of view and find a new path of development. Self building involves at any scale, a practical attitude and return to an psychosomatic interaction among inhabitants and built environment. Focusing in self-building can become a Slowskij’s “estragement” to reactivate different sensibilities, for a new philosophy in contemporary design. Morphological reading of self-built environments has a double importance: for self-built cities themselves, to give response to the need of social cohesion, for a restructuring that traduces these needs into building and transforms the plural individual needs into a collective urban structure; for the enrichment that this reading can give to the architectural community culture, a new panorama where we can search new path to go over the crisis; The paper focuses on the scales that goes from building and construction material scale to urban fabric scale. Starting from the observation of a brick’s furnace, through the observation of an original constructive system, up to the aggregation of each built organism in the urban fabric it will be possible to read and interpret the formative process and to evaluate, through design experience cases, some new path for the contemporary design that come from this interpretation of self-built: design as a formative process re-activation, artisanal-not authorial sensorial design; References G.
