Over the course of history, maritime ports and their associated cities have grown in tandem, with the port acting as a catalyst for economic growth and prosperity in the city. The rise of globalization in recent decades has further reinforced this relationship. Understanding the operational risks faced by ports is crucial for assessing their resili...

The increasing population and the aggregation of people in dense urban pockets add to the pressures on already complex and volatile global systems (WFP in Global food crisis, 2022). Food supply systems need to adapt and be resilient to not only natural phenomena such as climate change or the post COVID-19 crisis, but also in resistance to socioecon...

This issue proposes care as a framework for critical action to critique capitalist modes of spatial production. We put forward perspectives on urban care, institutions of care, and care as agency, to argue that care as critical action refers to individual and collective mobilization for the radical changes society needs today. Regressive forms of i...

The city of Cairo has witnessed a considerable increase in crimes against women, compelling women to avoid or minimise their use of public spaces in recent years. The absence of consideration for women in city planning has made Egyptian women feel further excluded and threatened by the public space, in addition to the patriarchal social relations a...

This position paper aims to figure out the possibilities of combing digital space with physical public space, thus further reinforcing the social interaction. As the society of Chinese urban area now is tending to be digitalised, the existing physical public space, which was designed in the past cannot reflect changing and digitalizing society anym...

The economic reform and 'Open Door' policy in China initiated in 1978, and the land reform especially launched in 1987, associated with globalisation, which resulted in a dramatic change in Chinese cities of rapid industrialisation and urbanisation. This study focuses on the context analysis of one of the megacities in China-Shenzhen, pointing out...
Article
This Ph.D. thesis is focused on the concept of ‘Augmented Space’ and its design sensitivities, not only by combining physical space and all kinds of AR technologies as the one, but also exploring this new spatial format in a broader sociological context of augmented interaction that flows between digital and physical layers inside museums. Througho...

The central problem addressed in this section is the lack of social interaction in public spaces in China. Although architects are tempted to address this problem through better design and by providing public facilities, their success in influencing social behavior seems limited. Attempts such as the Linked Hybrid project in Beijing to create genui...

The term 'Augmented Space' is first mentioned by Lev Manovich in his article " The poetics of augmented space " (Manovich, 2006), he defined augmented space is the physical space overlaid with dynamically changing information " (Manovich, 2006), and argues that augmented space is a new paradigm with its own logics and implications. This research is...

Spatial Augmented Reality (SAR) is an emerging technology with the potential to transform learning. By digitally adding or removing information from the physical world, SAR creates a sense that real and virtual objects coexist in the same space, which can enhance people's interactions both with each other and with objects in the world. Most museum...

Thesis
Full-text available
Nowadays, ever-evolving spatial informatics and digitalised technological possibilities are rewriting the traditional museology, changing the previous exhibition pattern from collection-centred to experiencecentred, and even allowing physical space to be transferred into a mixed-reality environment. On the other hand, those ubiquitous digital forma...

This study aims to promote constructivism learning through digitally augmented physical space design. We begin with criticizing traditional interpretive devices for the cognitive process in the perception of museum environment, mainly focus on audio guides and multimedia guides. The result shows that via interpretive guides, it is easy to detract v...
Conference Paper
Modern digital media already permeate the physical world. The portability of information devices and the ubiquity of networks allow us to access information practically anyplace, creating digital overlays on reality. Recently there has been increased interest in the narratives presented through these digital overlays. It is proposed that in augment...

和世界上其他大型城市一样,拥有2000年历史的伦敦同样面临着城市新旧改造与融合的难题。他们最早采用建设大量的新城的办法来缓解城市中心的人口淤积,交通堵塞,经济疲乏,环境恶化等问题。初期颇见成效,但‘缓解’一词的力度显然太小,不足以真正解决问题,反而造成了更多新的社会问题的出现,此后的一系列补救措施和重新建设使所有人明白:“究竟是什么让城市生活更美好?” 节能,环保,创新都言之尚浅,有远见的城市规划才最重要。
Thesis
Full-text available
Public open spaces are being provided in an attempt to play a catalytic role in urban regeneration of many waterside cities. They are often tied into aggressive city rebranding which seek to launch a new urban vision, away from an industrial city to an attractive, creative and dynamic environment to visit and live. While some cities have been succe...
