Taking Religion Outside:New Secular Identities Between Autonomy, Contingency And Total Immersion, Antonio Petrov
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
The secular has proven to be a condition all too intertwined with Christianity and Western narratives. However, the truth is that the religious and the secular are not opposites but they are inextricably linked within the geographic. This research is inspired by geographia [geo-earth and grapho-write], writing about earth. Observations, speculations, interpretations were made and stories recorded to illuminate how explicit intersections between religion and the environment expands the identity of the sacred. A study was made of critical cultural concepts that project objects into geographic objects, geographies, or both. It acknowledges architecture transcending beyond the traditional. The goal of …

Aquatic Cities In The Central Plain Of Thailand:Study Of Urban Form And Maps Of 1960, Prin Jhearmaneechotechai
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
This paper presents a study of cities located on floodable topography in the Central Plain of Thailand. These cities were once called aquatic cities, Bangkok was also known as the "Venice of the East" due to its extraordinary relationship with water. The study will analyses the transitional period of change from water-based to land-based cities using the surveyed and published maps in city's scale that were generated for the first time in Thailand in 1960. The paper will therefore explain the particular identity and characters of these water-based cities through urban form, size and articulation between water and land.

The Impact Of Historical Geography And Agricultural Land Development Processes On Wetland Restorationmethods Used To Create Ecological Networks:A Comparison Of Japan And The Netherlands, Yuji Hara, Fransje Hooimeijer, Steffen Nijhuis, Maki Ryu, Arjan Van Timmeren
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
In the Osaka area in the 1880s, rice was grown mostly in dry fi elds in upland areas, and a few paddy fi elds were situated on the natural wet landforms along the major rivers and streams on the Osaka Plain. As the area developed, dry fi elds became irrigated, and the lowland fi elds were fi lled and converted to urban land uses. For the Osaka city region, developed in this historical context, an ecological network has been proposed by the national government in 2006. The proposal was partially infl uenced by ecological network planning in the Netherlands, and …

The Salt Marsh - Pier 1:Brooklyn Bridge Park, Michael Van Valkenburgh, Matthew Urbanski, Gullivar Shepard, Eric Rothstein
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
This article details the design and construction of the Pier 1 salt marsh in Brooklyn Bridge Park, New York City. The construction of this humble wetland signals a shift in urban park-making, as it compelsvisitors to venture and engage with the water's edge, instead of viewing it from afar, separated from the waterfront by constructed barriers. This softening of the waters' edge represents an appreciation for the value of urban nature, and makes real the notion that urban parks can be more than an escape from the city—they can be a place to enjoy nature within the city.

Ecological Urban Design Visuality And Landscape, Victoria Marshall
Ecological Urban Design Visuality And Landscape, Victoria Marshall
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
This essay describes a research project that aims to shape ecological urban design practice in two Asian Mega Deltas. This is important because many important ecological concepts such as urbanheterogeneity become more abstract when considered in relation to everyday life. However, these concepts are key to meeting sustainability goals through supporting the components of resilience. The research project engages heterogeneity through the type of democratic visuality and spatial imaginary afforded by aerial photography and satellite imagery. This inter-referenced visuality, created by airplanes, satellites, sensors, interfaces, and handheld devices, is new. It operates differently from older models of cartography, map, plan …

Discovering Landscape Urbanism Within Resilient Landscape:Searching From Natural Setting To Structured Ground, Ayasha Siddiqua
Discovering Landscape Urbanism Within Resilient Landscape:Searching From Natural Setting To Structured Ground, Ayasha Siddiqua
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
Settlements in urban and rural areas treat landscapes differently. In urban areas within the structured layouts, the landscape is likely to be dominated by human activities; settlements in natural settingsrequire a more sensitive approach to landscapes. But in both cases landscapes are strong, driving forces to guide settlement design. This can range from details to larger arenas, direction of future requirements, adjustments to future growth, coping with probable diffi culties and providing alternate solutions. Landscape urbanism has inherited some issues and concepts derived from resilient landscapes. To search for urbanism within a resilient landscape this paper examines two distinct examples …

Preserving Urban Roots:The Case Of Shakhari Bazaar, Dhaka, Bangladesh, Maher Niger
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
This paper discusses how conservation activities in an historic urban settlement can be carried out in the most supportive manner. Conservation is not only preserving a few historic buildings butrather preserving the urban cultural heritage and the environment that gave birth to city culture. The importance of "Preserving Urban Roots", that is protecting historical cities through preservation, restoration and revitalization, is a universally accepted matter, but in reality it is a neglected issue. Historic urban quarters of old cities are often strongly characterized by environmental degradation and many of them are now suffering serious destruction and are losing their characteristics …
