Public spaces include various design elements that shape a city’s identity, such as buildings, urban furniture, and information panels. However, some components of the urban fabric, like manhole covers, are often overlooked. Though typically infrastructural, manhole covers can serve as culturally and aesthetically meaningful design elements that enrich urban identity. To explore this potential, the study employs qualitative research methods, specifically case study and content analysis approaches. It first reviews artistic works, creative applications, and research on manhole cover designs worldwide. It then presents outcomes of an interdisciplinary workshop integrating design students’ skills with their urban environment. The workshop engaged students from Industrial Design, Cartoon and Animation, and Painting departments within the Faculty of Fine Arts. Participants designed manhole covers for Türbeönü, Konya- a historic area undergoing urban transformation. The workshop unfolded in three stages: project introduction, field research, and jury evaluation with an exhibition of student designs. The resulting designs were categorized based on common themes and analyzed through content analysis. Discussions and presentations occurred at The City Workshop, organized by Konya Metropolitan Municipality. The study evaluates the workshop’s process, highlighting its role in raising awareness of urban aesthetics and demonstrating how small-scale design interventions can shape city identity.

The essay explores an updated application of Giancarlo De Carlo’s participatory method through the renovation of a hotel timeshare in Gioiosa Marea (ME), which was used by one hundred and thirty-five families. The experience integrated sociological enquiry, metric-environmental surveys, and subjective and objective tools to meet the needs of users who wished to adapt the spaces to their new living requirements. The shared design produced flexible solutions, improving functionality and comfort, and renewing the link between space and people. The experimentation allowed clients to re-evaluate the architect’s role as a social and cultural mediator in the development of living space, and the designer to develop a replicable method.

The negativities brought by climate change, which is among the crisis agendas today, directly affect the cities. According to the UN, the rate of urbanization in the world is increasing rapidly. It is estimated that it will reach 6.4 billion in 2050. The UrbClim model is also used to project future climate in cities. For the province of Erzurum, where the climate negatively affects living things, the climate data of the city for the first 10 days of July 2016, 2017, and 2018 were analyzed using the UrbClim model. This study, it is aimed to analyze the exemplary cities with cold climates in the world, which will set an example in the determination of climate change and support sustainable and livable urbanization, use energy efficiently, and to produce climate adaptation strategies at the point related to landscape.

Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), a class of soft materials capable of large and reversible change in shape under the trigger of external stimuli, can be fabricated into diverse architectures with complicated deformation modes through 4D printing. However, the printable LCE ink is only in the form of monomeric precursors and the deformation mode is limited to contraction/extension deformation. Herein, we report a novel approach to break through these limitations. We achieved 4D printing of single component liquid crystal polymer ink in its isotropy state through direct ink writing (DIW) technology. Drawing force imposed by the movement of nozzle in the extruded printing process was able to align the mesogen units along the specific printing path. Orientation gradient perpendicular to the printing direction was obtained due to the existence of temperature gradient between the two sides of printed samples, and can be further fixed by post-photo crosslinking treatment through the dimerizable groups in the LCE, realizing a new actuation mode in the field of extrusion-based printing of LCE actuators. The printed film was able to change reversibly from a strip to a tightly hollow cylinder, and can reversibly lift up an object with roughly 600 times its own weight. The orientation gradient can be patterned through liquid-assistant printing or programmed structure design to integrate both bending and contraction actuation modes on the same printed sample, leading to complex deformation and 2D planar porous structure to 3D porous cylinder transition. This study opens up a new prospect to directly print a wide variety of LCE actuators with versatile actuation modes.

Forgetting is often described as an undesirable sin of our memory, depicted as a completely uncontrollable action. If one desires to forget, it is to erase unimportant or unpleasant information. Moreover, the general mental model of memory suggests that we first remember and lastly forget. Thus, the linear memory model suggests a one-way dynamic from remembering to forgetting. This mental model of memory has been projected into the digital space design, where one remembers by acquiring data and forgets by deleting it. However, the advent of infinite data storage scenarios provides new opportunities to re-establish how we forget and remember using data repositories. I discuss a possible paradigm shift: how forgetting a memory can help remembering in longer terms by presenting a speculative design artefact, the Horcrux Ear. It was created using Research through Design approach that develops a new understanding of these processes’ temporality and spatial dimension of memory. This paper aims to contribute to the debate over the relationship between forgetting and remembering, its role in the infinite data scenario, and the relationship between human and computer memory. Further, it illustrates the circumstances in which: 1. Forgetting important memories is a desirable action; 2. Forgetting is a controllable action; 3. Forgetting is data creation rather than data deletion; 4. Forgetting is a means to remembering rather than the last step in the linear memory model.

<p>A survey, defined as a succession of stages ranging from acquisition to representation, has historically an ambition of analysis, understanding, and knowledge representation of architectural artefacts. However, there is a paradox. While for many years this discipline has seen a development in digitization methods and techniques, the purpose of the survey seems to mainly focus on the metric representations of building, and on the production of beautiful (or figurative) images. Acquisitions by lasergrammetry or photogrammetry bring in a quantity of data that are qualified as massive, but appears to be too often underlooked. The present paper attempts to consider work acquisition beyond the ambition of the acquisition of measurements, which investigates new methodological approaches for the characterization of architectural shapes according to different scales of observation. To understand whether the data resulting from the acquisition work can assist "beyond the visible" in the study and analysis of built heritage, this paper addresses three methodological avenues, which relates to the morphological / semantic characterization of architectural objects according to different nature and scale, to consider new methods of analysis by using further massive data.</p><p>DOI: https://doi.org/10.20365/disegnarecon.26.2021.3</p>

Karabük’s Ovacık district is a settlement that has been used as a residential area since ancient times, though experiences recently an increase in immigrations from day to day due to various reasons which are mainly economical. Even though Ovacık is one of the rare residential areas whose architectural texture remained almost intact, the district has not been able to stand out with this aspect. Until 2019, no studies based on its rural architecture have been carried out in the district and its villages. Within the scope of this study, on-site investigations were made in all 12 neighborhoods of the village in order to determine the construction materials and techniques used in traditional buildings of Dudaş village. In addition, face-to-face interviews were held with those who are still alive among the craftsmen who built houses by using traditional methods in the region. In Dudaş village; wood and stone seem to be the most preferred building materials. The carrier system of the buildings is either a masonry system or a wooden framework or a wooden masonry system. It is also possible to see a combination of these production systems in one building. Both in the carrier system and interior elements of traditional buildings, wood is widely used. Stone is preferred in building foundations, garden walls and for filling the gaps between the wooden framework. Other traditional building materials found in the study area are adobe and clay bricks. Considering the construction system of the traditional buildings in this village, it can be seen that the ground floor walls are constructed out of rubble and coarse stone by using masonry technique, while for the upper floor walls adobe between wooden framework is used. This study is important in terms of recording and documenting the construction techniques, materials and traditional buildings of Dudaş village, which reflect the characteristic features of local architecture, which already lost some of their parts in time, and rapidly keep losing the other parts that have survived.

<p>The current purpose of many national and international regulations is to ensure accessibility and fruition to the artistic and architectural masterpieces of cultural heritage. The aim of different public institutions or private associations is to allow everyone to discover and appreciate works of art.</p><p>Understanding the different form of art is very complex especially for a person with a visual disability, who becomes aware of the surrounding reality using predominantly the sense of touch. Disability includes a series of problems that correspond to different solutions for the fruition of cultural heritage. Accessibility is guaranteed for people with motor disabilities by the removal of architectural barriers, for deaf and hard of hearing people by the communication of the insights, for mental disability with laboratory activities. Instead, blindness requires a different approach, as it proposes problems and requires specific operations. The article focuses on the issue of accessibility of heritage to blind and visual impairment people, presenting the consolidated techniques and the most innovative ones adopted to communicate the different forms of art, constituting both a source of knowledge and aesthetic pleasure.</p><p>DOI: <a href="https://doi.org/10.20365/disegnarecon.23.2019.10" rel="noopener" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.20365/disegnarecon.23.2019.10</a></p>

Interpreting some dimensions of the horizontal/vertical relationship in the transformation cycle of Milan, this article develops a reflection on the current urban planning phase of this city referring to some of its specific characteristics. Despite the emphasis on the common debate as well as the scientific one, considering the vertical development of Milan, this paper argues that the increasing quality of the city, as perceived in recent years, derives from its improved ‘horizontality.’ This article, also resorting to sources from the local debate, argues this thesis in a discussion on peculiar features of some of the most recent, and the near future, transformations of the city, including those of the former trade fair site (City Life project), Garibaldi-Repubblica area (Porta Nuova project), and the abandoned railway yards.

During the lifetime of Augustus (from 63 B.C. to A.D. 14), Roman civilization spread at a remarkable rate throughout the ancient world, influencing such areas as art and architecture, religion, law, local speech, city design, clothing, and leisure and family activities. In this vivid book, Ramsay MacMullen investigates why the adoption of Roman ways was so prevalent during this period. Drawing largely on archaeological sources, MacMullen discovers that during this period more than half a million Roman veterans were resettled in colonies overseas, and an additional hundred or more urban centers in the provinces took on normal Italian-Roman town constitutions. Great sums of expendable wealth came into the hands of ambitious Roman and local notables, some of which was spent in establishing and advertising Roman ways. MacMullen argues that acculturation of the ancient world was due not to cultural imperialism on the part of the conquerors but to eagerness of imitation among the conquered, and that the Romans were able to respond with surprisingly effective techniques of mass production and standardization.

La arquitectura vernácula ha sido, uno de los temas más recurrente de la habitabilidad, al ser, “per se”, el galeón para la búsqueda de respuestas a bienes ancestrales y develar muchos de los silencios de las culturas mesoamericanas asentadas en los territorios anteriores a la conquista. Pensar en el simple hecho de que no estamos solos en un universo desconocido, es en parte, testimonio del patrimonio histórico construido a partir de los escenarios de la diversa concepción de lo efímero del espacio encontrado, particularmente, al norte del país, y hace justo, el relato edificado de lo diferente idealizado de los habitantes del mundo prehispánico, cuando ceñida su condición a través de múltiples tamices que la identifican históricamente con diversas sociedades, grupos, estilos, plástica y hasta en la poética de sus espacios, las hace en muchas de las ocasiones y a partir de sus formas y materiales, hasta fascinantes. El rescate y recuperación de los valores de esta arquitectura ancestral, hoy y en el futuro servirán para proponer y construir los espacios que desde luego estos pueblos han de seguir levantando y para las generaciones de arquitectos por venir, para aplicar conceptos y valores de una arquitectura que estando presente se niega a morir en términos de espacialidad y constructibilidad.
