重庆市黄桷坪“涂鸦街”街景改造实证研究——基于街道步行系统的空间形态分析

该文以街景改造对街道步行环境的影响为主要视角,通过实地调研分析,对政府与艺术团体联合发起的重庆市黄桷坪"涂鸦街"街景改造的意义、力度、手法与效果进行了系统的研究,在肯定旧城街道改造必要性的同时分析了改造中的优点与不足。认为街景改造应以"微观个人"的使用及心理需求出发,从改善街道步行空间载体、步行功能支撑、步行视觉景观与步行设施4个方面入手,促进市民步行的安全、通畅、便捷与舒适。     

浅谈街道空间中的建筑界面色彩控制与规划

街道空间中建筑界面色彩作为最主要的街道空间色彩要素,其色彩的控制与规划对整个街道空间的秩序至为关键。通过对街道空间,建筑界面色彩以及两者之间的相互关系的研究之后,提出控制的基本手段,并且在对街道空间分类的基础上加以具体执行检验。     

Not to be Taken Seriously: Kiosks,Roadside Joys and Other Things That are Beneath Architectural Contempt

There is a profound egalitarianism driving Peter Cook 's fascination with pavilions, pop-ups and parasols. They are forms she finds manifested by people in cities everywhere. His every observation drives to the often quirky individuals who make and use these sometimes temporary, often fragile, but enduring structures. He argues for architectures that embrace these myriad constellated moments. It is from these highly idiosyncratic, but astute observations that the possibilities of a new type of architectural intelligence open up drawing on the everyday.     

Residential Street Parking and Car Ownership

Problem, research strategy, and findings: Local governments’ minimum street-width standards may force developers to oversupply, and residents to pay excessively for, on-street parking in residential neighborhoods. Such oversupply is often presumed to both encourage car ownership and reduce housing affordability, although little useful evidence exists either way. This article examines the impact of street-parking supply on the car ownership of households with off-street parking in the New York City area.

The off- and on-street parking supply for each household was measured through Google Street View and Bing Maps. The impact of on-street parking on car ownership levels was then estimated in an innovative multivariate model. The unique set-up of the case study ensures 1) the weak endogeneity between parking supply and car ownership and 2) the low correlation between off-street and on-street parking supply, two major methodological challenges of the study. Results show that free residential street parking increases private car ownership by nearly 9%; that is, the availability of free street parking explains 1 out of 11 cars owned by households with off-street parking.

Takeaway for practice: These results offer support for community street standards that make on-street parking supply optional. They also suggest the merits of leaving the decisions of whether, and how many, on-street parking spaces to provide in new residential developments to private markets rather than regulations.

Research support: This project was supported by grants from the University Transportation Research Center (Region 2) and the Wagner School Faculty Research Fund.     

Differentiation in Vital Practice: An Analysis Using RMIT University of Technology and Design Interfaces With Architects

One of the most influential figures in architectural education and practice today, Leon van Schaik , Professor of Architecture (Chair of Innovation) at RMIT in Melbourne, has dedicated the last two decades of his career to the promotion of local and international architectural culture through design practice research and the commissioning of building. Here he describes how he has nurtured a research-oriented approach through his engagement with a network of ‘vital’ practitioners worldwide who are interested in strong ideas and pushing the questioning of the status quo.

Numerical Simulation of the Howard Street Tunnel Fire

The paper presents numerical simulations of a fire in the Howard Street Tunnel, Baltimore, Maryland, following the derailment of a freight train in July, 2001. The model was validated for this application using temperature data collected during a series of fire experiments conducted in a decommissioned highway tunnel in West Virginia. The peak predicted temperatures within the Howard Street Tunnel were approximately 1,000°C (1,800°F) within the flaming regions, and approximately 500°C (900°F) averaged over a length of the tunnel equal to about four rail cars.
