BIOPHILIC URBANISM

课程简介

The term "biophilia" was first used by Erich Fromm to describe "the connections that human beings subconsciously seek with the rest of life." The biophilia hypothesis suggests that, in spite of an ever increasingly urbanized world, humankind is undetachable from the natural environment, and that 5000 year‐entities like cities can’t simply replace millions of years of intrinsic relation between man and nature.

In response to the exponential urban growth triggered by the industrial revolution since the 18th century, biophilic movements have aimed to physically and mentally reconnect us to nature. Although bio‐inspiration vastly influenced culture, research and design in the last century, a renewed environmental concern has emerged today due to a general awareness of climate change and other environmental challenges.

In addition, the major technological breakthrough experimented through the digital revolution at the end of the 20th century, has allowed for the measurement, analysis and prediction of complex environmental processes, encouraging humankind to start taking measures to minimize upcoming catastrophic scenarios. As a result, a closer relationship between humans and nature is desperately encouraged and demanded nowadays, thus challenging the concept of our greatest creation as a specie: the city.

BIOPHILIC URBANISM

This course aims to dissect an internationally‐recognized “biophilic city”, Portland, by analyzing why and how it reached such a status, and by trying to foresee its future challenges. This workshop will focus on the city phenomena and how it can be affected by its proximity to nature. The complex reality of a city cannot be defined by just a handful of parameters, but rather by the interaction between many interconnected agents (us among them) and their relationship with their surroundings. Similarly, a biophilic city cannot be simply defined as a city with abundant green: it is necessary to understand how nature actually influences all the layers that conform the city: networks, infrastructure, program, economy, energy, climate, architecture, people...

Portland is unique in its relationship with nature in the sense that a very specific culture has emerged from it. This makes Portland a perfect opportunity to measure the tangible and intangible relationships that occur when a city and nature fuse into a holistic system. It is the intent of this workshop to track Portland’s relationship with nature throughout history, understand how the city has been able to maintain the balance between development and nature, and propose strategic interventions for new ecological prototypes to align with these existing environmental and social patterns.

课程目标

At the end of this course you will learn:

‐ How to find, download, process and visualize GIS data

‐ How to create 3d models of your site

‐ The basics of computational design (via GRASSHOPPER)

‐ A research‐based methodology for urban analysis

‐ How to unveil, represent and analyze urban and natural phenomena.

‐ How to create engaging strategic plans for sustainable urban development

‐ Why green networks and landscape masterplans are critical for the future of cities

课程成果

The main aim of this course is to develop a series of strategic landscape masterplans for the city of Portland. With the help of a toolkit based on GIS and computational design tools, we will create a spatial, environmental and social framework for the sustainable growth of nature within the urban fabric. The resulting analytical and design patterns could lay the foundations of a biophilic urbanism methodology translatable to other contemporary cities.

The deliverables of this course will consist of two panels:

‐ the first panel will show a large scale plan summarizing the analysis of environmental phenomena, flows, infrastructure, spatial features and social behavior, and highlighting potential areas for nature development.

‐ the second one will focus on one of the areas highlighted in the first panel, serving as a prototypical strategy for the overall masterplan. This urban prototype will be represented as a large three‐dimensional aerial view, showing more in‐depth data, analysis and design strategies, and explaining the relevance of its development.

‐ additional analysis, diagrams and texts can be overlaid on any of the panels.

课程对象

‐ This course is ideal for architecture students of any level interested in a research‐based methodology to understand the natural and social logics of a large scale urban environment and how those could eventually inform the development of architectural projects.

‐ This course is ideal for landscape architecture students of any level interested in the basics of GIS and parametric design to analyze the complexity of environmental and social phenomena in a large scale urban environment.

‐ This course is ideal for urban planning students of any level interested in pushing GIS methodologies via the use of computational design logics for a better understanding of the potential and problems of a large scale urban development.

时间

The start of the course is May 11th, and it will last 6 weeks.
