The Design Of Frontier Spaces: Control And Ambiguity, Andreas Luescher
The Design Of Frontier Spaces: Control And Ambiguity, Andreas Luescher
Andreas Luescher
In a globalizing world, frontiers may be in flux but they remain as significant as ever. New borders are established even as old borders are erased. Beyond lines on maps, however, borders are spatial zones in which distinctive architectural, graphic, and other design elements are deployed to signal the nature of the space and to guide, if not actually control, behaviour and social relations within it. This volume unpacks how manipulations of space and design in frontier zones, historically as well as today, set the stage for specific kinds of interactions and convey meanings about these sites and the experiences …

Diagramming Toledo/Ohio, Andreas Luescher, Sujata Shetty, Scot Macpherson
Andreas Luescher
Diagramming Toledo/Ohio is the third monograph in a series after "The Street in the City: Dorr Street as an Anchor for a Shrinking Toledo" (2009) and "Building A Shared Vision for the City of Toledo" (2010). The research examines issues pertaining to architecture, design and planning with a focus on the challenges presented by urban shrinkage and responses to them in a shrinking rust belt city: Toledo.
The Street In The City: Dorr Street As An Anchor For A Shrinking Toledo, Andreas Luescher, Scot Macpherson, Sujata Shetty
The Street In The City: Dorr Street As An Anchor For A Shrinking Toledo, Andreas Luescher, Scot Macpherson, Sujata Shetty
Andreas Luescher
With the Visioning and Implementation Plan as the starting point, students of architecture from Bowling Green State University and students of geography and planning from the University of Toledo, were charged with developing visionary and sustainable urban design concepts for the length of Dorr Street.
Introductory Review To The Special Issue: Shrinking Cities And Towns: Challenge And Responses, Andreas Luescher, Sujata Shetty
Introductory Review To The Special Issue: Shrinking Cities And Towns: Challenge And Responses, Andreas Luescher, Sujata Shetty
Andreas Luescher
Cities and towns facing sustained population loss are being researched and discussed more than ever before. Once the focus of a relatively small group of architects and urban designers in Europe, these cities and towns are now being studied by scholars across the world. In a range of contexts - from a large, iconic city like Detroit, to a small village in Japan (described by Thomas Feldhoff in this issue), this phenomenon is being observed in unexpected places, and far more frequently than once imagined. A wider population is engaging in this as well, as discussions of the future of …
Building A Shared Vision For The City Of Toledo: An Urban Design Charrette, Andreas Luescher, Scot Macpherson, Sujata Shetty
Building A Shared Vision For The City Of Toledo: An Urban Design Charrette, Andreas Luescher, Scot Macpherson, Sujata Shetty
Andreas Luescher
This urban design charrette will address the challenge of organizing architectural and planning contributions to support Toledo, a city facing long-term economic and population decline.
Collaboration Between Architects And Planners In An Urban Design Studio: Potential For Interdisciplinary Learning, Sonia Hirt, Andreas Luescher
Collaboration Between Architects And Planners In An Urban Design Studio: Potential For Interdisciplinary Learning, Sonia Hirt, Andreas Luescher
Andreas Luescher
Design professionals need to acquire competencies in interdisciplinary, collaborative design practice. Proceeding from this assumption, this paper analyses a case study of a joint project between an architecture studio at Bowling Green State University and a planning seminar at the University of Toledo. Students working in extramural teams developed proposals for the revitalization of a plaza in Toledo, an historic city in Ohio. The plaza, which in architectural terms represents a blend of Gilded-Age finery, high-order contemporary work and stretches of decay, is in the process of slow regeneration. The main goals were: 1) pedagogical - to enhance the students' …
