Taylor & Francis Mapping Urban Spaces
Book SynopsisMapping Urban Spaces focuses on medium-sized European cities and more specifically on their open spaces from psychological, sociological, and aesthetic points of view. The chapters illustrate how the characteristics that make life in medium-sized European cities pleasant and sustainable â accessibility, ease of travel, urban sustainability, social inclusiveness â can be traced back to the nature of that space. The chapters develop from a phenomenological study of space to contributions on places and landscapes in the city. Centralities and their meaning are studied, as well as the social space and its complexity. The contributions focus on history and theory as well as concrete research and mapping approaches and the resulting design applications. The case studies come from countries around Europe including Poland, Italy, Greece, Germany, and France, among others. The book will be of interest to students, scholars, and practitioners in architecture, urban planTable of ContentsINTRODUCTIONThe ArcheA MethodLamberto AmistadiPART 1: MAPPING SPACES.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Routledge Handbook of Catalysts for a
Book SynopsisThis groundbreaking handbook leads the way in accelerating the transition to a sustainable circular economy by introducing the concept of a catalyst as a positive and enhancing driving force for sustainability. Catalysts create and maintain favourable conditions for complex systemic sustainability transition changes, and a discussion and understanding of catalysts is required to move from a linear economy to a sustainable and circular economy.With contributions from leading experts from around the globe, this volume presents theoretical insights, contextualised case studies, and participatory methodologies, which identify different catalysts, including technology, innovation, business models, management and organisation, regulation, sustainability policy, product design, and culture. The authors then show how these catalysts accelerate sustainability transitions. As a unique value to the reader, the book brings together public policy and private business perspectives to addreTrade Review“For the last 50 years, we have come to realise that there are not only natural resource limits to our economic growth but that our extraction methods are – indisputably – responsible for global warming, ever-increasing levels of pollution, and dire health effects. However, despite all this data, we have been reluctant to act. In the last few years, circular economy initiatives and regulations have emerged as viable remedies to these calamities, but a deeper look often reveals a lack of a true systemic circular transition. This book is closing an urgent gap because it helps us understand the actual catalyzers of circularity and in so doing, once activated, long-term, sustainable change can finally take place.”Gordana Kierans, EntrepreneurCircle.World, Croatia“An impressive array of experts masterfully help us to understand and expand the role of catalysts to help transition from linear to circular business models across industries, regions, and approaches. This handbook is both guidebook and playbook, and provides both sides of the telescope – informative zoom-ins, as well as insightful zoom-outs to help us take the necessary next steps to begin the transition in earnest.”Alon Rozen, Dean and Professor of Innovation, École des Ponts Business School, FranceTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis African Industrial Design Practice
Book SynopsisThe underlying principle of this book is the African philosophy of Ubuntu, which acts as a guide for developing empathic products and services. The book makes the case that empathy is the key to any successful product and service design project because it enables designers to make wise design choices that align with users'' demands.Fifteen chapters provide the latest industrial design developments, techniques, and processes explicitly targeting emerging economies. At the outset, it covers the design context and the philosophy of the Ubuntu approach, which places people and communities at the centre of the development agenda. The book covers new product development, design research, design cognition, digital and traditional prototyping, bringing products to the market, establishing a company''s brand name, intellectual property rights, traditional knowledge, and the business case for design in Afrika.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Applying a Systems Thinking Approach to the
Book SynopsisThis book aims to shed light on why it is that so many well-meaning initiatives and government white papers have failed to have the expected impact in transforming the UK construction industry. Using the UK housing sector as a case study, Mike Siebert applies a Systems Thinking approach to tackling some of the shared ''Wicked Problems'' faced by an industry that urgently needs to boost its productivity levels, build more sustainably and affordably, and generally improve its working practices.In an accessible and easy to read style, Siebert challenges the overall decision making and problem-solving approach adopted by the industry and seeks to put Systems Thinking front and centre to consider the core issues from multiple perspectives. Initially outlining the key stakeholders and the drivers and barriers to change, he then introduces Systems Thinking and explains using numerous examples of known issues what this approach could achieve. His central aim is tTable of ContentsPart I - What are we trying to do; What’s stopping us?; How could we approach it differentlyChapter 1 – Defining the SectorsChapter 2 – Drivers for Change: The government perspective on what the industry needs to doChapter 3 – Barriers to Change: The industry perspective on what the government needs to understandChapter 4 – The Methodology for Change Part II - What ‘approaching it differently’ could achieveChapter 5 – Political Intervention: pushing the right buttons at the right timeChapter 6 – Industry Intervention: changing the message to fit the audienceChapter 7 – The Missing Tools: the tools we need, how to build them, and how to promote themChapter 8 – Applying these tools to solve the Housing Industry’s crisis

Taylor & Francis Farmscape
Book SynopsisFarmscape: The Design of Productive Landscapes situates agriculture as a design practice, using a wide range of international case studies and analytical essays to propose lessons for contemporary landscape architects who are interested in integrating agriculture into their designs. Agricultural processes, technologies, and cycles have long shaped landscape architectural projects, from the ornamented farm of the eighteenth century, to contemporary projects that integrate agriculture and ecological restoration. The book describes the history of agriculture within landscape architecture and reveals the diversity of current design practices that use the rhythms and forms of agriculture to create productive farms that are also sites of beauty, community, ecological conservation, remediation, and pleasure.
