From Vision to Reality

Architecture means team work. Within the team the architect plays a key role but must at all times remain flexible. I have often asked myself how much of its design the Casa Malaparte owes to its owner, the poet Malaparte, and how much to the architect Libera. There are no hierarchies within the science of architecture,

Two scales were and are importantfor our work. The concept scale:1:10,000, or 1:1,000, or 1:500,depending on the size of the project,and the scale 1:1. The concept scale describes the vision: what is it about,where we want to go. The otherscales that architects use are purelyinstructive in nature and thereforeunimportant as far as the effect of abuilding is concerned.

Transitioning to sustainable urban water management systems: how to define expected service functions?

Sustainable water management is a worldwide challenge for the twenty-first century. It involves replacing traditional management approaches with a new concept, often referred to as sustainable urban water management (SUWM). This paradigm shift means that SUWM systems must include new services, some of which have already emerged. However, no publications have presented the expected SUWM system in terms of the full range of services it would need to include, and no publications have proposed a method for identifying the services the system must provide. This paper proposes a method for identifying these services and presents a generic petal diagram to represent the service functions of the SUWM system. Moreover, this paper presents a new method for defining these services in a specific territory. This method is based on the confrontation between a general representation and the objectives of the stakeholders in a given system in a given territory. The method is illustrated with a full-scale case study on the Doua eco-campus (Lyon University). This method is intended to aid practitioners to manage its system and to transition to SUWM. It is designed to improve the transparency of decision formulation and to involve stakeholders in the process.
