Barriers To Expanding Partnerships For Affordable Rental Housing Investments, Connie Susilawati, Lynne Armitage, Martin Skitmore

Lynne Armitage

The recent housing boom, experienced across Australian metropolitan markets, has attracted many new investors and resulted in increasing prices across the full range of residential sub-markets for both owner-occupation and investment categories. Of particular concern from a social perspective is the consequential pressure generated in the affordable housing rental market. Moreover, high vacancy rates and modest rental growth in rental housing has caused a deterioration in the investor’s rental yield given these increasing house prices (Powall and Withers, 2004, p.7).

In this difficult situation, traditional delivery methods for rental housing are unlikely to continue to attract more investment in this …

Houses Of Straw, David A. Bainbridge

David A Bainbridge

Straw bale building offers high performance at a low cost. Bale building, developed on the grasslands of Nebraska at turn of the last century, has been rediscovered. High insulation values and high interior thermal mass make straw bales a good choice for passive solar design.

A la reunión asistieron más de 80 personas, con una composición similar a la de los ponentes; esto es: …

El Centro Histórico Como Objeto De Deseo, Fernando Carrión Mena, Lisa Hanley

Fernando Carrión Mena

Con este trabajo se busca presentar algunas hipótesis e ideas respecto de la relación entre centro histórico, espacio publico y grandes proyectos urbanos, en el entendido de que el centro histórico es un espacio público por excelencia y, por tanto, es un elemento articulador de la ciudad; lo cual le convierte -por si y ante si- en un gran proyecto urbano (GPU). Esta propuesta se desarrollará en el contexto optimista de la ciudad como solución y en la consideración del centro histórico como objeto del deseo. Para desarrollar esta idea se parte de los siguientes tres principios orientadores.

Primero, es …

Los Centros Históricos En La Era Digital En América Latina, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

Este trabajo nace de un proceso de estudio y reflexión realizado sobre la base de lo que se ha venido haciendo y estudiando en algunos de los centros históricos más importantes de América Latina. Para su desarrollo se plantea una lógica expositiva a través de tres preguntas clave y una conclusión general.

La primera se refiere a lo que está sucediendo en los centros históricos o por qué esta temática ha cobrado tanto peso en el continente: ¿qué ocurre hoy en día con el proceso de globalización en los centros históricos en la región? Su pertinencia proviene del hecho de …

Regeneración Y Revitalización Urbana En Las Américas, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

Desde mediados del siglo XX, se inicia una ardua tarea por pensar los centros históricos más allá de conceptos venidos únicamente desde la arquitectura y de sus vertientes de la preservación y conservación de los monumentos históricos y concebir al centro histórico como una relación social. Actualmente un nuevo enfoque entiende al proceso urbano como parte importante en la construcción de un estado estable y de una economía sustentable cuyo punto de partida sea un proyecto colectivo de ciudad que pueda aportar hacia la estabilidad de los estados, su desarrollo económico y su fortalecimiento cultural, Los temas importantes a tomarse …

La Seguridad En América Latina Y Europa, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

La violencia es una de las principales problemáticas sociales y urbanas en el mundo. Si bien no se trata de una problemática enteramente nueva, en las últimas décadas muestra un proceso de incremento, generalización y diversificación que conllevan impactos sociales, culturales, políticos y económicos de relevancia. Es un fenómeno mundial en el que se hace necesario resaltar que en Estados Unidos y Europa la situación se evidencia a inicios de la década de los ochenta, mientras que en América Latina se presenta con mayor magnitud en los años noventa.

En la actualidad, una de las preocupaciones más importantes que existen …

La Inseguridad Ciudadana En América Latina, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

El trabajo hace un análisis de la violencia en América Latina, mostrando que ha habido un crecimiento importante, que se ha producido una transformación significativa y que ha adoptado nuevas formas. Se ha convertido en un problema social con más de 140.000 homicidios anuales, hay una pérdida económica no menor al 14 por 100 del PIB anuales (168.000 millones de dólares), las instituciones democráticas se erosionan y las ciudades se amurallan. Hay diferencias regionales: el área andina es la más compleja con Colombia a la cabeza, luego le sigue Centro América y finalmente el Cono Sur.

Shear And Bending Performance Of A Novel Wood-Concrete Composite System, Alexander C. Schreyer

Alexander C. Schreyer

This paper introduces a new, structural wood–concrete composite system. The system is formed by joining a wood component, such as a floor beam or laminated plate, to a concrete slab utilizing a continuous steel mesh of which one half is glued into a slot in the wood while the other half is embedded into the concrete. Two series of tests were performed and are presented: static push-out tests (to establish shear properties of the connector) and a full scale bending test with a span of approximately 10m . Test results reveal that the steel mesh performs favorably—as a stiff yet …

Land Planning And Development Mitigation For Protecting Water Quality In The Great Lakes System: An Evaluation Of Us Approaches, Elizabeth Brabec, Peter Kumble

Elizabeth Brabec

Since 1978, studies by the International Joint Commission (the bi-national commission mandated to protect the Great Lakes) have shown increasing water quality stress due to urban non-point source pollution. The key question for the IJC today, as an international commission with no direct enforcement power, is how the IJC can be effective in getting the parties and their jurisdictions to improve management of non-point source pollution issues when the land use trigger is primarily a local government issue. To begin to answer this question, the primary objective of this current study is to assemble the latest data and analysis on …

Regional Land Pattern Assessment: Development Of A Resource Efficiency Measurement Method, Elizabeth Brabec, Geoffrey Mcd Lewis

Elizabeth Brabec

Debate on the sustainability of human settlements has recently been focused primarily on the urban portion of the land use pattern. However, urban areas rely on suburban, rural, and other less densely settled lands for their existence. In order to quantify the impacts of various land patterns on their supporting resources, these exurban lands must be included in any sustainability assessment. This need for a regional view has resulted in a measurement method that enables comparisons of relative sustainability between various regional land use patterns. Existing methods employed to assess urban sustainability are reviewed and compared with the regional characteristic …

Barriers To Sustainable Suburbs, Ned Wales, Elspeth Mead

Ned Wales

Under the rapid technological advancement within the building industry and booming economic conditions regionally it has been an ideal environment for the uptake of environmentally sustainable development (ESD) and progressive urban planning practices. Then why is there considerable lag in the implementation of new ESD technologies and master planning practices that address important issues such as greenhouse gas emissions and waste generation within building, design and construction? This paper is the result of localised research into the perceived and real barriers preventing broad adoption of ecologically sustainable development practices in the Australian land development context.

Through this investigation a consistent …

The Culture Of Criticism: Adolf Behne And The Development Of Modern Architecture In Germany, 1910-1914, Kai K. Gutschow

Kai K. Gutschow

This dissertation investigates the early career of the German architectural critic Adolf Behne (1885-1948) and the crucial role he played in defining and promoting an early vision of modern architecture. During the particularly vibrant cultural moment in Germany before World War I, Behne became intent on finding artistic and architectural alternatives to what he perceived as the elitism, materialism, and decadence of Wilhelmine society. Influenced by the cultural program of the Socialist party, Behne believed that modern art had to be made accessible to all, and that modern architecture must be grounded in a "social conscience." The theories of Expressionist …
