Ciudad Afuera, Mercado Al Centro, Vivienda Adentro, Jaime F. Erazo Espinosa Arq., Oscar R. Ospina Pol.

Jaime F. Erazo Espinosa

Son diversos los motivos que provocan cambios de contenido en la composición de las ciudades; éstos dan lugar a nuevos protagonismos y a nuevos fines, ambos de distinta índole. Los cambios son integradores, cuando los hechos (procesos y consecuencias) socioeconómicos, culturales, urbanos, entre otros, son visibles dentro del marco global (efectos en red) y del característico de cada urbe. Son históricos, cuando estos hechos se acaban y el fin de la ciudad como entidad de algo, termina. Son resientes, cuando son acciones de ir hacia adelante y el inicio de la ciudad como entidad de algo, empieza. Y los cambios …


The Emerging New Human Being, The Culture-In-The-Self, And Ahp's New Multidimensional Intercultural Initiative, Carroy U. Ferguson Jun 2008

The Emerging New Human Being, The Culture-In-The-Self, And Ahp's New Multidimensional Intercultural Initiative, Carroy U. Ferguson

Carroy U "Cuf" Ferguson, Ph.D.

That primary human challenge is a dynamic tension, flowing from our creative urge for the freedom “to be” who we really are in our current physical form, and simultaneously to embrace our responsibility for our Being-ness.


On Being Stuck: Looking For The Limits Of Ethics In The Built Environment, Robert Kirkman, Douglas S. Noonan Jan 2008

On Being Stuck: Looking For The Limits Of Ethics In The Built Environment, Robert Kirkman, Douglas S. Noonan

Douglas S. Noonan

We seek here to lay the groundwork for a multi-disciplinary inquiry into one aspect of the phenomenology of moral experience, which is a general project of elucidating what it is like for people to make ethical decisions in particular contexts. Taking urban and suburban environments as the context for decision making, we focus in particular on the common human experience of being stuck. Just as a person can get physically stuck while trying to crawl through a hole that is too small, people can get ethically stuck when some feature of their relationship with their context blocks or deflects their …
