Choosing Tree for Urban Fabric: Role of Landscape Architect

Jacob Weidenmann, Pioneer Landscape Architect

Ecological Design of Urban Landscape

Paying attention to the spatial placement of the elements (man-made or natural) based on the landscape pattern and ecological processes in urban design would have a considerable impact on both human and the nature. In a way that the discords in the placement of patchs in respect to each other, or in respect to visual corridors and urban matrixes lead to the unwanted results in the cities. The e...

A Landscape Potential Characterization: Spatial Template of Pedestrian Ambient Fields within the Urban Fabric

Through interacting with urban and architectural spaces, pedestrian pathway‟s ambient fingerprints delineate ambiences with identifiable characteristics, thus characterizing landscape perception potentialities. Based on a measure of the surrounding open spaces using isovists, our proposal consists in building a sensory Digital Terrain models (DTM) in which the entropy of the function of radial ...

The Changing Role of the Software Architect

BEING A GOOD software architect has never been easy. Changes in the software industry are making the job even more challenging. The key drivers are the rising role of software in systems of all kinds and their operation; more emphasis on reuse, agility, and testability during software development; and several quality elements increasingly affected by architectural choices. Most of these drivers...

Analysis of status of resilience indices in urban fabric (Case study: Faruj worn out fabric)

Themain purpose of this research is to analyze status of resilience indicesin the worn out and old fabricof Farujcity. Inthis regard, 32 indicators in four dimensions of physical-environmental, social, economic and institutional-managerial were selected based on theoretical studies of the research. In the next step, a questionnairebased on these indicators was designed and distributed among the...
