Urbanistica paesaggistica vernacolare

Il "paesaggio urbano vernacolare" è un concetto nuovo ma di tendenza, derivato dallo studio di tutte le sue singole componenti (design vernacolare, progettazione del paesaggio e urbanistica) al fine di giustificarlo come strumento di rigenerazione urbana, in particolare nei paesi in via di sviluppo. Questo studio è stato condotto sulla base dell'osservazione personale dell'impatto negativo dello sviluppo rapido e della sovrappopolazione in India. Pertanto, i principi derivati dal concetto sono stati testati in un quartiere povero per verificarne l'idoneità alla rigenerazione urbana. Questo studio riconosce l'importanza e le prospettive future dell'urbanistica paesaggistica vernacolare. Inoltre, lo conclude come un approccio valido e logico in termini di rigenerazione urbana.

Urbanisme paysager vernaculaire

' L'urbanisme paysager vernaculaire ' est un concept nouveau mais très en vogue, qui découle de l'étude de tous ses composants individuels (design vernaculaire, design paysager et urbanisme) afin de le justifier en tant qu'outil de régénération urbaine, en particulier dans les pays en développement. Cette étude est menée sur la base d'observations personnelles des effets négatifs du développement rapide et de la surpopulation en Inde. Les principes dérivés de ce concept sont donc testés dans des bidonvilles afin de déterminer leur pertinence pour la régénération urbaine. Cette étude reconnaît l'importance et les perspectives d'avenir de l'' urbanisme paysager vernaculaire '. Elle conclut en outre qu'il s'agit d'une approche valable et logique en matière de régénération urbaine.

Urbanismo paisajístico vernáculo

El 'urbanismo paisajístico vernáculo' es un concepto nuevo pero muy de moda que se deriva del estudio de todos sus componentes individuales (diseño vernáculo, diseño paisajístico y urbanismo) con el fin de justificarlo como herramienta para la regeneración urbana, especialmente en los países en desarrollo. Este estudio se lleva a cabo sobre la base de la observación personal del impacto negativo del rápido desarrollo y la superpoblación en la India. Por lo tanto, los principios derivados del concepto se prueban en un barrio marginal para determinar su idoneidad para la regeneración urbana. Este estudio reconoce la importancia y las perspectivas de futuro del 'urbanismo paisajístico vernáculo'. Además, concluye que se trata de un enfoque válido y lógico en términos de regeneración urbana.

Historic Real Estate

"The integration of the histories of preservation and capitalism in this book is innovative and analytically nuanced. The volume is handsomely produced, with a readable format, useful illustrations, and an attractive plate section. The overall physical quality of the volume reinforces its substantial contribution to the role of preservation in shaping early national America. Historic Real Estate is a fine book, and it should stand as a valuable new addition to the edifice of scholarship on architecture, economy, and society in the nineteenth-century United States." (Journal of Early American History) "Martinko presents the many aspects of considering the historic built environment between the late eighteenth and the mid-nineteenth centuries in such a clear, thoughtful, and often engaging way that it can be easy for readers to lose sight of what a formidable endeavor this study represents. Some of the work discussed is well known to specialists in the history of preservation, but much of it lies in previously unexplored territory, and even finding the material was no mean feat. The result is not only a very rich investigation but also a framework for understanding how Americans have considered their physical heritage." (The Journal of Southern History) " The origins of American historic preservation have traditionally been told as the story of voluntary organizations like the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association (MVLA)...More recently historians have interrogated the cultural and social dimensions of those efforts, linking them to partisan politics and contests over the meaning of democracy. Whitney Martinko extends this revisionist narrative, beginning more than a half-century before the MVLA to situate early preservation and its verbal and visual rhetoric within contemporary debates over the morality of capitalism and the emergent real-estate market...Historic Real Estate places early American historic preservation into dialogue with the new cultural history of capitalism...Martinko is keenly sensitive to different sorts of politics that intersected in debates over the built environment, and that continue to underpin questions of preservation and memory to this day. " (Journal of the Early Republic) " Martinko addresses our lack of historical consciousness about preservation debates in her richly illustrated and argued book. She dissects a series of preservation campaigns from the early national period until the CivilWar to reveal the political and economic significance of their discourse and sites...We easily think of preservation as a force of good, and Martinko's study of early nineteenthcentury campaigns helps us to understand why. " (Winterthur Portfolio) "The title of Whitney Martinko's book, Historic Real Estate, is deceptively modest...Martinko's gaze encompasses nothing less than the shaping of American institutions of civil society and political economy...This is a cultural history, not a legal, political, or economic one; it makes a case for the salience of culture and capitalism in shaping one another." (Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians) " Using an impressive variety of visual, textual, and linguistic sources, [Martinko] reframes common understandings of early American preservation around concepts of virtue and economic morality in the public and private sectors, contending that preservation is a central part of the history of urbanism and capitalism in the United States. In doing so, Martinko joins a small but growing number of preservation scholars whose research challenges long-held beliefs about preservation's early predilection for aestheticism and nation-building...Martinko's calls for connection—for communication and recognition of each other across space and time—provide a much needed push to incorporate a more humanistic, unifying, and integrative approach to society's treatment of the historic built environment. " (The Public Historian) "With skill and great insight, Whitney Martinko reveals the centrality of the architectural past to the nation's capitalist future. By steering the forces of creative destruction away from select structures, nineteenth-century Americans ultimately made it easier to shroud real estate development in the mantle of a public-spirited idealism that persists to the present day. The strength of Martinko's analysis is matched only by the production value of this lavishly illustrated volume." (Seth Rockman, Brown University)
