Abstract:
In Book XV of Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Pythagoras meditates on the rise and fall of cities and foresees that the survival of Rome requires turning from war to the “arts of peace.” Once ancient Rome has fallen, its urban imagery hybridizes with a Biblical counter-imagery in which God wills the ruination of Rome and other centers of wickedness. Through this Ovidian/Pythagorean lens, this essay then examines how Spenser confronts the fall and rise and possible fall again of early modern London, with glances also at Shakespeare and Dryden. This Ovidian model creates challenges of identity, belief, and ethical obligation that result in an “outward turn” of the theme of metamorphosis toward its social boundary.

Abstract:
Urban space is inherently uneven. Economic pursuits and commercial integrity translate urban space into categorization of haves and have-nots.Neo-Marxists theorize spatial disequilibrium through the dynamics of capital accumulation.Analysis of Last Man in Tower by Aravind Adiga helps to explorecity space as a commodified place that serves the interests of capital accumulation by converting it as a space of differences, struggles and negotiations. While examining spatial alienation, I probe the making of urban other who experiences, evictions, and displacements followed by the development projects of capital accumulation in the theoretical frame of David Harvey’s accumulation by dispossession. The urban space expands and grows not for the urban other but for the elitist consumption. This directs the argument to inspect the creation of a critical spatial consciousness to assert the urban other’s right to the city. By retaliating to their evictions and dispossessions they devise strategies for remaking their space through their lived daily experiences. This has been supported by the theoretical lens of Henri Lefebvre’s “The right to the city”. The selected fiction defines uneven city space whereby the spatial metamorphosis dispossesses and displaces the urban other andraises critical spatial consciousness to obstruct subsequent displacements.

Abstract:
Abstract Many amphibians depend on wetland ecosystems for reproduction and survival, and coastal wetlands are not the exception. Recent advances on climate change research predict a reduction in land cover of coastal wetlands due to sea-level rise in response to global warming. Although this scenario will contribute to further amphibian population declines worldwide the impacts of sea-level rise and its related salt water intrusion on anuran assemblages in coastal wetlands remain largely unknown. I documented patterns of abundance of the native Caribbean white-lipped frog (Leptodactylus albilabris) and the introduced marine toad (Bufo marinus) along an inland-to-coastal salinity gradient in Puerto Rico. In addition, I investigated the effects of increasing salinity on larval growth and survival to metamorphosis in L. albilabris and B. marinus in laboratory experiments. In the field, relative abundance of adults of L. albilabris decreased with increasing salinity, while B. marinus showed the opposite pattern. Laboratory experiments with L. albilabris and B. marinus revealed that percentage of larvae surviving to metamorphosis in both species was greatly reduced in 22-25% seawater (8 ppt), which is within salinity levels found in their natural distribution. In this salinity level, the native L. albilabris showed ∼100% metamorphosis failure while the introduced B. marinus showed ∼60% metamorphosis failure. The reduction in metamorphosis was due to high mortality in L. albilabris and was accompanied with morphological abnormalities in B. marinus. Tadpoles of only L. albilabris reared for four weeks showed significant weight loss at 8 ppt, but showed no difference in length. These results suggest that anuran tadpoles may be living near their physiological limit for salinity in the studied wetland. Conservation implications are profound, however, as salt water intrusion and urban encroaching inland may result in anuran population replacement, from native species to introduced species in this wetland.

Abstract:
Abstract. Climate exerted constraints on the growth and decline of past human societies but our knowledge of temporal and spatial climatic patterns is often too restricted to address causal connections. At a global scale, the inter-hemispheric thermal balance provides an emergent framework for understanding regional Holocene climate variability. As the thermal balance adjusted to gradual changes in the seasonality of insolation, the Intertropical Convergence Zone migrated southward accompanied by a weakening of the Indian summer monsoon. Superimposed on this trend, anomalies such as the Little Ice Age point to asymmetric changes in the extratropics of either hemisphere. Here we present a reconstruction of the Indian winter monsoon in the Arabian Sea for the last 6000 years based on paleobiological records in sediments from the continental margin of Pakistan at two levels of ecological complexity: sedimentary ancient DNA reflecting water column environmental states and planktonic foraminifers sensitive to winter conditions. We show that strong winter monsoons between ca. 4500 and 3000 years ago occurred during a period characterized by a series of weak interhemispheric temperature contrast intervals, which we identify as the early neoglacial anomalies (ENA). The strong winter monsoons during ENA were accompanied by changes in wind and precipitation patterns that are particularly evident across the eastern Northern Hemisphere and tropics. This coordinated climate reorganization may have helped trigger the metamorphosis of the urban Harappan civilization into a rural society through a push–pull migration from summer flood-deficient river valleys to the Himalayan piedmont plains with augmented winter rains. The decline in the winter monsoon between 3300 and 3000 years ago at the end of ENA could have played a role in the demise of the rural late Harappans during that time as the first Iron Age culture established itself on the Ghaggar-Hakra interfluve. Finally, we speculate that time-transgressive land cover changes due to aridification of the tropics may have led to a generalized instability of the global climate during ENA at the transition from the warmer Holocene thermal maximum to the cooler Neoglacial.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Arquitetura, com a especialização em Urbanismo apresentada na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade de Lisboa para obtenção do grau de Mestre.
Este Projecto Final de Mestrado, cujo tema é Metamorphosis: Re-uso do Património edificado como meio para a transformação urbana, pretende olhar para a cidade construída, com destaque para o património arquitectónico obsoleto, como potencial momento de transição na evolução dos territórios, encarando desse modo as preexistências como uma oportunidade para reinventar a cidade. Da necessidade de aplicar estas ideias, Setúbal surge como sendo um território representativo destes fenómenos onde a obsolescência e a ruína de estruturas edificadas que caracterizam esta realidade, conferem um potencial de abordagem no âmbito da transformação dos tecidos urbanos. É o caso de grande parte das fortificações militares Seiscentistas desta cidade. Pretende-se então, a partir deste ponto pensar a evolução da cidade de Setúbal, tendo como ponto de referência estas preexistências, dando assim sentido a uma narrativa urbana de re-uso e transformação. Deste modo, a importância do tema deste projecto final de mestrado, prende-se com a vontade de valorizar a história e a memória dos territórios sem que por um lado os tecidos urbanos permaneçam cristalizados no tempo ou por oposição a vontade de intervir se sobreponha à identidade desse património. Assim, na sequência da identificação de um fenómeno específico no quadro urbanístico e histórico da cidade de Setúbal, a proposta sugere que estas ruínas do património militar sejam parte integrante do sistema de espaços públicos e que associadas a programas culturais, promovam o usufruto de todos, partindo de uma premissa de, não só preservar o património, como lhe dar um sentido de oportunidade e continuidade.
ABSTRACT:This Master's Final Project, whose theme is Metamorphosis: Re-use of the built heritage as a means of urban transformation, aims to look at the built city, with emphasis on the obsolete architectural heritage, as a potential moment of transition in the evolution of the territories, facing the preexistences as an opportunity to reinvent the city. From the need to apply these ideas, Setúbal emerges as a representative territory of these phenomena where the obsolescence and ruin of built structures that characterize this reality, give a potential of approach in the context of the transformation of urban fabrics. This is the case for much of the 16th century military fortifications of this city. From this point, it’s intended to think about the evolution of the city of Setúbal, having as reference these preexistences, thus giving meaning to an urban narrative of reuse and transformation. Thus, the importance of the theme of this final master's project is related to the desire to value the history and memory of the territories without, on the one hand, the urban tissues remaining crystallized in time or, in opposition, the will to intervene to override identity of this heritage. Following the identification of a specific phenomenon in the urban and historical context of the city of Setúbal, the proposal suggests that these ruins of the military heritage be an integral part of the system of public spaces. In addition, it is expected that, associated with cultural programs, it promotes the enjoyment of all, starting from a premise of not only preserving the heritage, but also giving it a sense of opportunity and continuity.

O projecto final de mestrado tem como tema METAMORPHOSIS. Percorrer a Margem como Experiência Sensorial. a Transformação de Setúbal entre o Aterro e o Forte de Albarquel. Este tema METAMORPHOSIS foi escolhido a pensar nas cidades e em todos os processos de metamorfose, ou seja, transformação pelos quais as cidades sofrem constantemente. A presente proposta tem lugar na cidade de Setúbal, mais concretamente entre o Aterro e o Forte de Albarquel. A cidade de Setúbal passou por alguns períodos de evolução urbana e demográfica que caracterizam a progressão da cidade em si e que nos ajudam a compreender algumas fraquezas e algumas potencialidades de Setúbal. Como tal, a MARGEM e a TERRA são a base desta proposta através de percursos. O objectivo é percorrer a margem de Setúbal desde o cais 3 até ao Forte de Albarquel como experiência sensorial, através da reconfiguração da margem e da reabilitação do Forte de Albarquel que até hoje está em desuso, proporcionando-lhes deste modo, novos espaços, novos usos, mas potenciando sempre as sensações que estão sempre presentes no nosso quotidiano. A preocupação prende-se à forma de garantir espaços públicos e edificados viáveis para funções distintas e agradáveis.
ABSTRACT: This final master's project theme is METAMORPHOSIS. Perceive the river bank as a Sensory EXPERIENCE. Setúbal Transformation between the Embankment and Albarquel Fort. This METAMORPHOSIS theme was chosen thinking about cities and all the processes of metamorphosis, i.e., transformations suffered by cities constantly. This proposal takes place in the city of Setúbal, specifically between the Embankment and the Albarquel Fort. Setúbal has gone through some periods of urban and demographic evolution, which characterize the progression of the city itself and help us understand some of Setúbal's weaknesses and potentialities. As such, BANK and LAND are the basis of this proposal through pathways. The aim is to go trough Setúbal, turning the path from pier 3 to Albarquel Fort a sensory experience, through the reconfiguration of the bank and the regeneration of Albarquel Fort which is still in disuse, thus providing them with new uses and new spaces, by enhancing the sensations that are always present in our daily lives. The concern is how to ensure viable public and built spaces for both distinct and pleasent functions.

Abstract:
Baotou owes its existence to its raw material resource, and iron and rare earth industry. Because of cheap labor, low cost and lax vat the world rare earth political economy with more than 95% of production. Increasing demand of rare earth due to our modern culture and consumption has turned the 12km2 tailing pond as a 'toxic leftover of global capitalism'. My thesis is asking questions of how a city at the edge will survive in the future. In this case, it is an extreme scenario of resource depletion, environmental destruction, and large number of unemployment caused by modern consumerism. The thesis is a questioning imaginary of a waste urbanism, that intentionally propose a major transformation of urban metamorphosis by rethinking the economic and ecological value of industrial waste, especially with its complicated connection to globval network. By understanding the operational mechanisms of the city globally, the operational mechanisms of the city globally, nationally and locally, I intervene into the flows of material, migration, economy and politics at regional and local scale. This thesis is asking a question and exploring the alternative future of a resource-extract industry city like Baotou. Connect how a global modern culture reflects on a local landscape. And explore the extreme potential of economy as driving force of urbanization.

Abstract:
This thesis began by studying how a temporary event could create permanent architecture and how that architecture could change an urban lifestyle. I chose the Olympics as the event and proposed that they be held in Washington D.C., a city of international prominence with a rich design history but a city that hasn't had a large scale urban redevelopment plan in over a century. I focused on the city east of the Capitol as I wanted to extend the monumental core created in the McMillan plan. I researched baroque design, Olympic planning, and even the original L'Enfant plan. The result of this research was unearthing some of the original L'Enfant design elements and incorporating them into a 21st century city by blending new design issues with the idea of a city designed around radial vistas with magnificent termini. I focused on two sites, the Olympic Torch and the Olympic Stadium. The Torch is situated as a terminus on a site that was intended to be mile marker zero for the country. Its design and importance make it a monument while still not impeding the views. The stadium was created to serve as a stadium for the people, allowing pedestrians outside to view and interact with the event inside. It is sunken so as not to obstruct views but it is spanned by arches that pierce the cityscape signifying its monumentality and appropriately ending the monumental axis started with the Lincoln Memorial on the western edge of the city.

Abstract:
This work is a study in urban history, in particular, one that examines a crucial period in the rise and development of large cities and metropolises in the region of Sogdiana within Central Asia, between the seventh and tenth centuries. The primary focus of inquiry is to show the effects of inter-relationships between social change, intense urbanization and religious conversions that occurred within Sogdiana at this time. All of these processes were initiated as a result of the Arab invasions between 625 and 750 A.D. Sogdia or Sogdiana, along with the regions of Bactria and Khwarazm, were incorporated into the Islamic world through the process of conquest that followed these invasions, but once resistance was extinguished and Islam widely accepted among the populace, these regions became among the most vital centers of urban life in the Islamic world. Sogdiana, among these three regions, witnessed the rise, change and unprecedented development of many large metropolises that were distinct in several ways from the cities in other parts of the Islamic world. Traditional cities in the Islamic world further west and south of Central Asia had a dense structure within an encircling wall, and eventually the residential areas were found to extend beyond the wall, only themselves to be eventually protected by another wall. However, in Central Asia yet another further stage of development took place. Here the main administrative functions and markets moved out into this outer residential area and abandoned the central core. This outer area of the city (the rabad) became the locus of political and commercial activity. In due course the process repeated itself - the residential areas overflowing beyond the walls of the rabad, only themselves to be surrounded by a third outer wall. In this way the Central Asian city developed into a distinct type, markedly different from cities further west and south.

Full text
Abstract:
Mapping Modern Beijing investigates five methods of representing Beijing- a warped hometown, a city of snapshots and manners, an aesthetic city, an imperial capital in comparative and cross-cultural perspective, and a displaced city on the Sinophone and diasporic postmemory—by authors traveling across mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and overseas Sinophone and non-Chinese communities. The metamorphosis of Beijing’s everyday spaces and the structural transformation of private and public emotions unfold Manchu writer Lao She’s Beijing complex about a warped native city. Zhang Henshui’s popular snapshots of fleeting shocks and everlasting sorrows illustrate his affective mapping of urban transition and human manners in Republican Beijing. Female poet and architect Lin Huiyin captures an aesthetic and picturesque city vis-à-vis the political and ideological urban planning. The imagined imperial capital constructed in bilingual, transcultural, and comparative works by Lin Yutang, Princess Der Ling, and Victor Segalen highlights the pleasures and pitfalls of collecting local knowledge and presenting Orientalist and Cosmopolitan visions. In the shadow of World Wars and Cold War, a multilayered displaced Beijing appears in the Sinophone postmemory by diasporic Beijing natives Liang Shiqiu, Taiwan sojourners Zhong Lihe and Lin Haiyin, and émigré martial-arts novelist Jin Yong in Hong Kong. Weijie Song situates Beijing in a larger context of modern Chinese-language urban imaginations, and charts the emotional topography of the city against the backdrop of the downfall of the Manchu Empire, the rise of modern nation-state, the 1949 great divide, and the formation of Cold War and globalizing world. Drawing from literary canons to exotic narratives, from modernist poetry to chivalric fantasy, from popular culture to urban planning, this book explores the complex nexus of urban spaces, archives of emotions, and literary topography of Beijing in its long journey from imperial capital to Republican city and to socialist metropolis.

Full text
Abstract:
Ovid: A Very Short Introduction discusses Ovid’s poetry, and the social and cultural context in which it was written. No poet of the Graeco-Roman world has had a deeper impact on subsequent literature and art than Ovid. But he was also a man of his time, and while the poetry he wrote still speaks to us today, it channels the cultural and political upheavals that Rome in his day was experiencing: its public life under Rome’s first emperor Augustus, changing sexual mores, religion, literary debt to Greece, and urban landscape. This VSI introduces Ovid’s poetry on love, heroic women, metamorphosis, Roman festivals, and his own exile by Augustus. It also explores his immense influence on later literature and art, an uninterrupted popularity through the Middle Ages and into modern times. Artists as diverse as Chaucer, Goethe, and Dali are all his heirs. But it focuses on his own poetry. Ovid was the wittiest, most inventive, and least deferential of Roman poets, his poetry a scintillating combination of high intellect and mischief.

Abstract:
Much of the literature on electricity in the late nineteenth century can be read as the wishful template of a world that electrical professionals believed they would create, given the opportunity. The world that looked most comfortable to them was less the egalitarian one they professed to desire in their more serf-conscious public moments than one in which the stability of familiar social and class structures would be preserved, with the important exception that other people would come to recognize the wisdom of professional electricians’ values, and might even think, look, and act very much like electricians themselves. With the more general application of electricity throughout society, electricians believed, the world could change only to their advantage. For them, electricity was the transformative agent of social possibility. Through their power over it, it would be a creator of social miracles. Electricity had the vitality of a natural force; they had charge of its control and direction. Experts felt that society had yet to grant them the recognition appropriate to so weighty a social responsibility. They were also concerned about the possibility of this natural force’s getting out of control, particularly their control. Thus, at the same time that electrical professionals were confidently and proudly prophesying Utopian accomplishments through the proper exercise of electrical knowledge, especially at the most abstract levels of discussion about the future of civilization they were also conducting an anxious, less publicized discussion about the possible social catastrophes of electrical metamorphosis. A metamorphosis it surely was, though in the early stages. While electric lights and trolley cars constituted the most visible proof of change in the urban environment, electric telephones had also diffused with impressive rapidity. Early telephone figures are difficult to find and often unreliable. Our best evidence probably reflects only orders of magnitude. Phone figures for the late nineteenth century are rarely broken down into residential and business telephones, or by region, although these were key factors in telephone density and distribution. It is difficult to be sure, after the Bell patents expired in 1893 and the telephone business temporarily opened up to a number of small competitors, how accurate was the reporting of independent telephones.

Abstract:
Chapter 4 focuses on both permanent spaces and temporary spatial practices associated with weddings and funerals. Urban spaces have become backdrops for a roleplaying game with an ever-attentive audience, as Syriacs metamorphose between audience members and stage actors and continually reinscribe social expectations about personal bodily and social propriety.

Abstract:
This chapter proposes to consider urban autobiographical writing as a distinct genre within Arab representational discourse. The discussion focuses on the relationship between individual selfhood and urban space in contemporary Arabic literature. The three case studies are autobiographical narratives published in the 1980s by writers who come from three distinctive culturally, socio-politically and historically Arab urban centers – Baghdad, Mecca, and Alexandria. Aliyah Mamduh’s Habbat Naftalin (1986), Hamzah al-Buqari’s Saqifat al-Safa (1983), and Idwar Kharrat’s Tarabuha Zaʿfaran (1986). The choice to focus on literary texts written in the 1980s is based on the spatial, social, and cultural metamorphoses of these metropolises and their impact on individual and collective identities of the cities’ inhabitants during this period. This study argues that a close examination of Arab urban autobiography can potentially reveal some new and yet to be explored aspects of contemporary Arab selfhood, given the important role metropolises play in shaping of various aspects of modern Arab life.

Abstract:
Humanity settlement are formed as a result of decisions and actions of different people and become as a form of an identity of integrity. So urban form is influenced by desires, values, beliefs, and human activities, so the study of urban form is the study of its constituent human values and expression of physical aspects of their lifestyles. Before contemporary periods, urban form in Iran, continuity based on former patterns of changes, which was gradual, but after the beginning of the influence of west, one of the most important challenges of urban form in Iran is in the form of short-term changes. Changes occur in a cycle of destruction and construction. This paper use the way of content analysis investigate to texts, document to study form and typo-morphology of residential environment in the city of Mashhad. In the periods of one hundred years shows there is a direct and significant relationship between changes of Iranian lifestyle and metamorphosis of urban form, so that by sequential developments of Iranian lifestyle in a short time, the urban form is responded and metamorphosed and again is created in a new form.
