Theories of recovery planning and urban design share a common interest in providing for the health safety communities. However, requirements safe refuge after disturbance, such as an earthquake, are sometimes at odds with theories urbanism. This paper proposes concept resilience its interdependent attributes way aligning these theories. It tests through focus on two case studies, 1906 San Francisco earthquake Chile 2010. The key to successful integration lies shift thinking that sees...
This paper proposes a conceptual theory of resilience in urbanism and demonstrates its application through case study. The theory's underpinnings are the attributes that have been developed ecological sciences, but clear parallels urbanism. They suggest it may be possible to enhance city design urban morphology. explores these ideas by examining relationship between community's adaptive behaviour spaces Concepción after 2010 earthquake. empirical evidence suggests role designer...
Purpose – This paper aims to propose the concept of resilience as a way aligning these disciplines. Theories recovery planning and urban design theories have common interest in providing for health safety communities. However, requirements safe refuge after disturbance, such an earthquake, are sometimes at odds with urbanism. Design/methodology/approach The analyses data from two case studies: earthquake fire 1906 San Francisco Chile 2010. It uses set attributes already embedded discourse...
Cardiff University students have used the freedom of Formula Student rules to create an innovative chassis that combines a high performance with efficient manufacturing process. All aluminium sandwich panels were pre-cut using computer numerical control routing, which is rapid low-cost operation produced highly accurate results. Assembling monocoque consisted folding and bonding along pre-routed lines reinforcing relevant joints. This required no specialist tools or equipment was...
The largest earthquake of 2010 by magnitude (MW8.8), and the subject this article, struck south-central Chile in early hours 27 February 2010. was a “mega-thrust” event, involving rupture section Nazca-South American plate boundary, where Nazca dips at shallow angle beneath Pacific margin South America.
 Understanding event its effects, including tsunami is particular significance to urban centres that share close proximity “subduction zones”. These include Seattle, Vancouver, Tokyo...
Spatial design at interior, site, city and regional scales is increasingly complex, will continue to be so with the uncertainty of climate crisis growing place-based intricacies pluralist societies. In response this complexity, professional practice has pursued new ways working. More projects are becoming more interdisciplinary less hierarchically structured, involving collaborative project teams a variety backgrounds in architecture, urban design, landscape interior engineering, ecological...
There has often been a mutually beneficial relationship between cities and their rural hinterlands. The Kapiti region outside the city of Wellington in New Zealand is prime example: it once provided Wellington’s food, water cultural diversity for both Māori European settlers. However, productivity-driven agriculture extensive dormitory-suburbanization have affected significant parts this once-abundant hinterland. Food production becoming more mono-cultural, quality degrading, ecosystems’...
