Il Comune di Pescara è tra i Comuni Partner del progetto "JOINT SECAP - Joint strategies for Climate change adaptation in coastal areas ". Il Progetto ha un partenariato importante composto dal Capofila Università di Camerino e dai seguenti partner: (PP1) IRENA - Istrian Energy Agency; (PP2) Comune di San Benedetto del Tronto; (PP3) Regione Abruzzo; (PP4) Comune di Pescara; (PP5) SDEWES; (PP6) PRIMORSKO - GORANSKA County; (PP7) SPLIT - DALMATIA County; (PP8) VELA LUKA. Joint Secap mira a migliorare il monitoraggio dei cambiamenti climatici e la pianificazione di misure per rafforzare la capacità di adattamento dei territori delle Contee dell'Istria, di Rijeka e di Spalato (Croazia), dei Comuni di San Benedetto del Tronto, Pescara, Montesilvano, San Giovanni Teatino e Spoltore, aumentandone nel contempo la capacità di recupero. In particolare, intende sviluppare la capacità di adattamento contro i principali effetti dei cambiamenti climatici (innalzamento del livello del mare, alluvioni, erosione costiera accelerata, subsidenza, ecc.). Con gli uffici si sta sviluppando un approccio più integrato all'adattamento ai cambiamenti climatici, in particolare considerando il valore aggiunto dato dalla cooperazione transfrontaliera. Saranno migliorati i meccanismi per lo scambio di informazioni, mentre il coordinamento delle azioni e dei piani adattativi sarà potenziato attraverso l'armonizzazione dei dati e delle procedure sviluppate nel Progetto Joint Secap. Gli obiettivi saranno quelli di supportare lo sviluppo, l'implementazione e la gestione tramite la redazione dei piani congiunti territoriali di azione sulla sostenibilità energetica e adattamento al cambiamento climatico.

Mass housing and urban planning are a key element in North Korea's material foundation. In the post-war era, the country attempted to socialise all types of living spaces - from small apartment rooms to urban settings - based on political ideology. The idea that North Korea's political forces are brainwashing their people is superficial - as testimonies from many defectors have revealed.By exploring home culture and daily life, this book aims to capture the actual life of North Koreans, who have largely supported the country's unique dictatorial political system. To this end, it uses drawings, maps, and diagrams obtained from various archives. While these are neutral forms of communication, they also convey the actual intentions of North Korean architects and planners hidden behind the deceitful claims of political leaders.· The reconstruction of Pyongyang and Hamh¿ng· Piotr Zaremba and the urban planning of Chongjin· The creation of Kim Il-sung Square in Pyongyang· The emergence of mass housing in Post-War North Korea· The introduction of microdistricts in site planning· Socialisation of rural space in North Korea· The planning of Gwangbok Street New Town in Pyongyang· The development of the housing market

It?s your complete guide to design and planning as they relate to land and how digital technology fits into the process. Digital Land, Integrating Technology into the Land Planning Process, explains what digital tools are used to collect, assemble, and analyze information used to assess the suitability of both development and preservation. It also covers scales of planning -- including regional, community, and neighborhood projects -- and shows how digital tools can be used to complete those projects better and faster. Case studies offer sound examples of how digital and traditional tools were used in specific planning projects. This book is ideal if you make or are interested in decisions about the use of land in your neighborhood, community, or region.

Der Zürich Atlas richtet sich an ein breites Publikum mit Interesse an den Dynamiken der Stadtentwicklung und legt das Beziehungsgeflecht zwischen der Zürcher Stadtform und urbanen Codes offen. Basierend auf kollaborativen Forschungsprojekten der Accademia di architettura in Mendrisio und der ETH Zürich zeigt er anhand diverser historischer Fallstudien von 1900 bis heute auf, dass sich die im Wandel befindlichen physischen und sozialen Bedingungen der Stadt auf die Entwicklung regulatorischer, rechtlicher und normativer Rahmenbedingungen auswirken. Und dass diese urbanen Codes den Status quo nicht nur bestätigen und aktuelle Konflikte regeln, sondern auch Visionen für die Stadt artikulieren.

Concéntrico: Urban Innovation Laboratory blickt auf die ersten zehn Ausgaben des seit 2015 in der spanischen Stadt Logroño stattfindenden Design- und Architektur-Festivals Concéntrico zurück. Dieses fördert als innovatives Laboratorium die Suche nach neuen kreativen Wegen und trägt dazu bei, Architektur und Design zur Stärkung von Gemeinschaft einzusetzen und den Dialog zwischen Praktizierenden und der Gesellschaft zu beleben und zu fördern. Das Buch bildet in höchst visueller Weise und mit kurzen, konzisen Texten den internationalen Diskurs zur Bedeutung von Architektur und Design im 21. Jahrhundert ab, der über die bisherigen Ausgaben von Concéntrico entstanden ist. Es zeigt anhand von für das Festival entstandenen Entwürfen und Konzepten von 80 Architekt:innen, Designer:innen und Künstler:innen aus 20 Ländern sinnvolle Möglichkeiten auf, um sich mit drängenden urbanen Fragen auseinanderzusetzen - von Identität und Kulturerbe bis hin zu Zeitweiligkeit, Kollektivität, Ökologie, Spiel und Wohnlichkeit. Eingeleitet und zusammengehalten wird das Ganze durch ein Gespräch zwischen den beiden Herausgebern Javier Peña Ibáñez und Nick Axel über Kontext und Entwicklung des Concéntrico Festivals und dem dabei zusammengetragenen Wissen.

BUILDING PARADISE IS A HOMAGE TO LANZAROTE - an island where architecture, nature and culture unite in a unique harmony. Fabian Freytag, one of Germany's most influential interior designers, weaves personal observations with an artistic exploration of place. Through photography, collage and essay, he reveals how lava, wind and light shape spaces that in turn form identity. Lanzarote thus becomes a living dialogue between humanity and landscape - raw, sensuous and timelessly modern.A book that understands design as an attitude, and aesthetics as an expression of awareness.

SHIFT: Architecture in Times of Radical Change is published in conjunction with the sixth Chicago Architecture Biennial (CAB 2025) under the artistic direction of Florencia Rodriguez. In a world defined by crisis and uncertainty, where architects are researching, relearning, and reimagining, the volume marks not only a change in direction but also presents provocative inquiries about a redefinition in the substance and fundamentals of the field. It is an invitation to think with others, to project with intention, and to set new grounds for the interpretation and design of our built environments. In the same spirit, the book unfolds the many faces of SHIFT through collective, multilayered, and multidimensional conversations, visual essays, and manifestos. CAB 2025 participants' voices are brought to print through a transcript of a five-hour conversation marathon that tackled topics such as new realism, the magic in the ordinary, pleasures in the urban, and the need to critically shift architecture's language, as well as a repository of manifestos exploring other possible worlds. Beyond the exhibition, SHIFT: Architecture in Times of Radical Change also calls upon practitioners from different fields to discuss the current state of education in architecture schools, the challenges of material culture, the future of housing, and exhibitions as devices for change.

Athens as a Project is an interdisciplinary publication at the intersection between architecture and photography with a wider reference to contemporary art and urban history. With a particular focus on current metropolitan phenomena and the transformation of cities, it presents the findings of decade-long research project conducted by Platon Issaias on Athens and the specifics of Greece's urban environments that contribute to broader a discussion of the complex politics of urban development in the Mediterranean and the Global South.
