The students and mentors at the second in the series of DIVE workshops worked on the topic of humanising virtual environments. On this occasion, a connection was to be established between the ...physical and virtual part of the city quarter called Žabjek (Ljubljana). The participants also acquired additional knowledge and skills, such as the use of parametrics, algorithimics, 3D printing, expanded their digital literacy and were constantly reminded about the meaning of scales, the meeting points of the virtual and physical, and new opportunities that such connections and virtual spaces in general offer to architects, but also to their residents and visitors. The problem-based task led to interesting, conceptual proposals, which, given their specifics and the special educational parameters of the workshop, should be seen as starting points for reflection rather than for realisation in physical spaces.
Bringing the trilogy of the Erasmus intensive programme together in 2010, the Faculty of Architecture organised the third workshop in the series “Designing and Inhabiting Virtual Environments - ...DIVE”, addressing an elusive issue: “Bridging the gap between the physical and virtual” with the reference site of Križanke. During the 10-day intensive workshop, the participants developed a theoretical discussion based on a series of lectures, and afterwards pursued analyses of the reference site and designed spatial interventions with an emphasis on respecting the fragile nature of the site. From the very beginning to the end of their work, the participants analysed the boundaries between physical and virtual reality, examined the pros and cons of each, and sought possible integrations of both entities within a seamless and effective conceptual and actual representation.
This article presents the attitude towards cultural and natural spatial values in the population who have completed elementary schooling. Identifying spatial values can be considered a fundamental ...skill of the active population, which are necessary for the deliberate activities in the existential and functional environment of every individual. An insight into the potential investors’ environmental value system is also useful for spatial disciplines. The results presented represent the conceptualisation of spatial values in a sample population (N=188) taken from four elementary schools. In relation to other research, the principal recognition of spatial values by teenagers is assessed, together with the limited possibilities of this knowledge into their local living environment. Conclusions can be drawn about their deficient knowledge of the cause-and-effect in the relationship in individual processes in both natural and constructed spaces. The reasons for such deficient knowledge on a local, living environment level are predominantly attributed to the influences of their domestic social environment. The superficial awareness of the values and aspects of space vulnerability also hints at the insufficient and incoherent teaching curriculum in the process of comprehensive education. Solutions might be found in upgrading existing teaching methods and techniques. Furthermore, by carefully setting specific teaching goals the comments mentioned above could be synthesised into a more palpable, logical whole.
Prispevek obravnava odnos do kulturnih in naravnih kvalitet prostora pri populaciji, ki končuje osnovnošolsko izobraževanje. Prepoznavanje prostorskih vrednot lahko štejemo med tiste veščine ...aktivnega prebivalstva, ki so temeljne za premišljeno delovanje v bivalnem in funkcionalnem prostoru posameznika. Hkrati je za prostorske stroke koristen tudi vpogled v prostorski vrednostni sistem prihodnjih potencialnih investitorjev.
Predstavljeni so rezultati raziskave o pojmovanju kvalitet prostora vzorčne populacije (N=188) štirih osnovnih šol. V povezavi z drugimi raziskavami s tega področja ugotavljamo načelno prepoznavanje kvalitet prostora s strani mladostnikov, vendar hkrati tudi omejeno zmožnost prenosa tega védenja v njihovo lokalno bivalno okolje. Sklepamo lahko o njihovem slabem poznavanju vzročno-posledičnih razmerij pri posameznih procesih v naravnem in oblikovanem prostoru. Vzrok za pomanjkljivo uresničevanje trajnostnega vedenja mladostnikov na ravni lokalnega bivalnega prostora pripisujemo predvsem vplivom domačega socialnega okolja. Iz površinskega zavedanja kvalitet in ranljivosti prostora (grajenega in naravnega) lahko sklepamo tudi o pomanjkljivih in nekoherentnih učnih vsebinah v procesu splošnega izobraževanja. Rešitve vidimo v dopolnjevanju učnih metod in tehnik ter premišljeno zastavljenih učnih ciljih, ki bi jih povezali v bolj življenjsko in logično celoto.
From biological to socio-technical systems, rhythmic processes are pervasive in our environment. However, methods for their comprehensive analysis are prevalent only in specific fields that limit the ...transfer of knowledge across scientific disciplines. This hinders interdisciplinary research and integrative analyses of rhythms across different domains and datasets. In this paper, we review recent developments in cross-disciplinary rhythmicity research, with a focus on the importance of rhythmic analyses in urban planning and biomedical research. Furthermore, we describe the current state of the art of (integrative) computational methods for the investigation of rhythmic data. Finally, we discuss the further potential and propose necessary future developments for cross-disciplinary rhythmicity analysis to foster integration of heterogeneous datasets across different domains, as well as guide data-driven decision making beyond the boundaries of traditional intradisciplinary research, especially in the context of sustainable and healthy cities.
The following article is targeted at the comprehensive co-shaping of the conditions required for the active education on the effective and concrete contributions to sustainable development, with the ...emphasis based on the built environment or architecture. It defines the role of education on the built environment or architecture within the concept of sustainable development, determines the grounds for adjusting the methods of delivering architectural contents and defines the educational contents along with their presentations with regards to the developmental abilities of the public, which is targeted. It presents the deliberation on objectifying the term sustainable spatial development, for the assessment of child and juvenile awareness of “sustainable architecture” topics as well as determining childcare workers and teachers adequate qualifications to provide the knowledge in the field of the built environment, in relation to sustainable environment. Concretisation signifies the selection and visualisation of actual topical occurrences in physical space for a specific targeted public (the article provides representative models). It also contributes to the development of “cultural” dimension of spatial development sustainability. The efforts made to strive towards the lifelong learning of architecture and its influence on our everyday lives and our future.
The paper provide an insight into the research conducted by the Faculty of Architecture (University of Ljubljana), and the Urban institute of Slovenia committed to the assessment of the efficiency ...related to the management of local resources at the level of neighbourhoods. The reduction of energy consumption and energy efficient built environments are key objectives of many sustainability agendas which is followed by fitting assessment methods in analytics. However, there are two important hesitations occurring: first, traditional assessment methods that focus solely on the energy reduction and energy efficiency are often too narrow in their analysis and limited in their scope of impact. According to the “Jevons Paradox” and “energy rebound effect” paradigm as many authors claim, energy efficiency alone will unlikely lead to an effective reduction in resources’ consumption or rise the living quality. These results point out the need for a radical shift toward the development of new approaches in the assessment and smart management of the built environment for a long-term sustainability. Second, to date, the majority of the evaluation methods - whether focusing to energy consumption or broader sustainability issues – are building- or household- oriented, thus systematically examining separate spatial and social entities, but neglecting the spaces between (connecting infrastructure and services, mobility, public and inter spaces, and urban design solutions etc.), the holistic aspect and the community aspect. The research develops structured evaluation model, this is, neighbourhood sustainability performance index which provides the foundation for targeted actions. To establish the described assessment model two main research pillars are addressed: 1) the development of the structured and modular system of indicators; and 2) the development of the methodology to interpret the resulting values (efficiency, ability and productivity on different levels of human activity). The paper presents first two stages of the research process and subjects the outcomes to the debate.
The paper addresses the issue of the efficiency and sustainability performance in the built environments. We provide an insight into the research committed to the development of methodology for ...estimation of the efficiency as regards local resources at the level of neighborhoods. Specifically, the research develops the evaluation model, based on the modular system of indicators and to it connected methodology for the interpretation of resulting values. It evaluates sustainability performance through five main categories: i) energy efficiency, ii) environmental efficiency, iii) efficient organization and management of the built environment, iv) communities’ engagement level, v) exploitation of ICT smart solutions to foster other four categories of efficiency. Each of the categories is observed through three strategic levels of implementation: (1) buildings or households, (2) public and in-between spaces, (3) traffic organization and infrastructure. Such structuring introduces possibilities for evaluating neighborhoods from environmental aspects, built environment characteristics, appearances and functionalities, as well as activities, habits and socio-demographic structure of their inhabitants – all being crucial factors in achieving better performance and efficiency of cities and their parts. The paper presents first two stages of the research process and subjects the outcomes to the debate.
