This article analyses the transformation of contemporary public space narratives through mural art. The mural is tattooed onto the facade surface and surrounds the public space scene. Without altering the dimensions of the open public space, this urban art provides a new perception of place. Graphics and images generate new spatial narratives that become part of the urban landscape. Public urban space supports exchange and spontaneous communication of a cross-cutting nature among people in all communities — including intergenerational and multicultural exchanges—. In this spatial context, the urban mural art —\"Urban Tattoo\" — acts as a symbol of free expression and is available for all to see, providing an additional dimension of communication. This study makes a distinction between art created by individual initiative and art that is institutionally promoted. The art of the individual street artist is daring, spontaneous, genuine, and commonly underlays a specific meta-language only completely understood by insiders; but, at the same time, there is a graphic symbolism that connects easily with the public. By contrast, art that is sponsored by an institution is created with the objective of regenerating bland areas in the urban fabric. The same artistic techniques are used but the artist is constrained by a creative brief which is drafted by the sponsoring organization. Some unexpected consequences have resulted from these novel initiatives that promote the regeneration of urban areas using art to convert urban spaces into an open-air museum.","PeriodicalId":298878,"journal":{"name":"[i2]: Investigación e Innovación en Arquitectura y Territorio","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121326409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the radio-concentric structural solution posed by the land-use planning of 1946, the new axes of both, urban development and industrial, were established being the west, Manises-Quart de Poblet-Aldaia, specialized in the metal industry. But the plan was not viable without a network of radial roads that gave the historical paths suitable proportion to their new condition. This is the case of Cami Reial de Castilla that in 1953 was opened to traffic, becoming the new entrance road from Madrid to Valencia and the connection to the Manises airport. A large commercial and industrial axis was created along which large companies given its good communications with the capital of the state would be installed. This is the case of the bottler Coca-Cola (1958), the metal processing factory FLEX (1961) or the subsidiary SEAT (1965), all buildings made by the same architect, Mauro Lleo Serret (1914-2001), that became pioneers of modernity in the city. Bottling plant Coca-Cola, still being debtor in materials of Gutierrez-Soto models, plays in its composition with simple volumes of one or two plants that join successfully linking the program contained. The FLEX factory is an industrial building height that shows in its facade the structural grid that holds it, although still built with concrete, is confirmed as a compositional resource that is approaching the architect to Miesian constructive solutions. Finally, the S.E.A.T. building was a step towards standardized construction and prefabrication, though still distrusts in the solution of its facades built with curtain walls, brise-soleil and metal canopies.

It is the symbol of the city; it is the basis of our socialization, because of that, we are working on it. Some urban design has had little influence on the day to day use that citizens make of it. Therefore, pinpointing the reasons and redesigning accordingly allows connection with the most direct beneficiaries: its citizens. This Research aims to know the influence of urban design on the success of public space, understanding as success a place in full use, full of activity, a social scene where people interact using it regularly and voluntarily. We propose a methodology where the military coastal city of Cartagena works as an urban laboratory, and we analyze the urban areas that have the same conditions and morphology and we compare them. We explore their social and urban context, as well as the people who live there, who are, of course, the protagonists. Results confirm that the design and structure of an old-town public space of a city like Cartagena have less influence than other contextual factors such as the urban, financial, social and historical. This demonstrates the need, from the discipline of architecture and urbanism, to listen more to the citizens because they are the \"clients\" of the spaces and it is necessary to revert the thought process of Urban spaces towards a design for people.","PeriodicalId":298878,"journal":{"name":"[i2]: Investigación e Innovación en Arquitectura y Territorio","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131043407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet the obsession with novelty implies a focus on final products and a retrospective attribution of their forms to unprecedented ideas in the minds of individuals, at the expense of any recognition of the form-generating potentials of the relations and processes in which persons and things are made and grown. In these processes, practitioners are characteristically called upon to copy the works of past masters. However, though they may be guided by a script or score, every practitioner has to improvise his or her own passage through the array of tasks the performance entails. With examples from music, calligraphy and lace-making, I show that the wellsprings of creativity lie not inside people’s heads, but in their attending upon a world in formation. In this kind of creativity, undergone rather than done, imagination is not so much the capacity to come up with new ideas as the aspirational impulse of a life that is not just lived but led. But where it leads is not yet given. In opening to the unknown — in exposure — imagination leads not by mastery but by submission. Thus the creativity of undergoing, of action without agency, is that of life itself.","PeriodicalId":298878,"journal":{"name":"[i2]: Investigación e Innovación en Arquitectura y Territorio","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125044766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Four actors are involved from several points of view in the same matter: the survival. Initially, the first actor begins the project phase with a location plan by using a map that is constantly modified to in-corporate geographical data and meteorological events during his seasonal expeditions. The second actor collects surrounding materials to build an habitat that is able to take on and successfully defy the harsh weather conditions. The third actor creates atmospheres from three different points of view as 3D renders that allow him to show the importance of the weather forecast in the project. Finally, the fourth actor relates the project and he proves how local conditions determine the connection between the initial ideas and the final work. These four actors are all together in Dersu Uzala, Akira Kurosawa’s film, shot in Ussuri taiga in 1976. Nowadays, the project actors are preparing laboratory tests of new materials which can be applied from territorial macro scale with topographic movements in harsh conditions to nanotechnology implemented to composites that use reinforced elements such as carbon fiber or graphene by sewing system instead of stick them, which can be used in marine platforms, airplanes and emergency constructions to improve local environmental conditions. From Dersu Uzala’s film (Akira Kurosawa, 1976) to The Revenant’s film (Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, 2015) we can see the need for a more targeted approach to an architecture of survival as the main character of these films does: “As long as you can still grab a breath, you fight”.","PeriodicalId":298878,"journal":{"name":"[i2]: Investigación e Innovación en Arquitectura y Territorio","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133907523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
