Excerpts from the Editorial entitled
Multiple Voices in Architecture and Urbanism
By Ashraf M. Salama
“…In this fifth issue (Volume 2-Issue 2) of Archnet-IJAR continues to raise issues of concern to the worldwide community of architects, designers, and urbanists. A considerable number of voices are accommodated. They offer diverse issues on a wide spectrum of issues that range from the interior spatial environment level to building and city levels. In fact, Archnet-IJAR maintains its presence as a platform for debating issues of interest to academics, professionals, and graduate students. And so, important pressing topical areas are presented in the refereed papers included in this issue. These include architectural education and design pedagogy, human-environment interactions, universal design, professional practice, sustainable cities, and identity….”

“…While both the refereed papers and the trigger and review articles presented in this issue address many issues, it is important to note that they also address many contexts from the United States to New Zealand and from the Middle East and the Arabian Peninsula to Malaysia. This reflects the true essence of Archnet-IJAR of being an international forum for discoursing the design and the actual use of built environments and the context within which they are created. …”

MONU Magazine - Exotic Urbanism..Call for Submissions

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR MONU

magazine on urbanism #9 -

EXOTIC URBANISM

Ever since our cities became areas of continuous interaction and ever-expanding exchange the term “exotic” - understood as counterpart to the “local”, the “native” or even the “authentic” - has become a rather vague term. Who – in actual fact - is still able to distinguish between the one and the other, between the exotic and the local? Who would be interested anyway? Yet, once again, there seems to be an increasing fascination with, and interest in, importing and seeing certain urban elements from other parts of the world in our own cities. There are, apparently, more Japanese people visiting the fake Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas than the original in Paris. What makes this displacement so interesting today?

The fascination with the “exotic” and its appearance in our cities has a long history, although at first merely going in one direction: from the “West” to the “East”. Interest in the exotic by the Western World was first stimulated by trade with the Eastern World back in the 16th century. But right from the start there has always been this intriguing contradiction in the term “exotic” as being on the one hand associated with fantasies of opulence and barbaric splendour, yet on the other hand considered as integer, uncorrupted and tasteful. The charm of the unfamiliar with its thrill of menace hasn’t lost its attraction even today and has been turned into a global phenomenon that can no longer be discussed within the narrow-minded Orient – Occident dialectic. These days, all kinds of foreign urban elements evoke the atmosphere of far-off lands all over the world. A finish sauna can be as exotic in Sao Paulo as Islamic ornamental motifs on a building in New York City.

MONU#9 investigates what the term exotic actually means for our cities and how exotic urban elements appear, what they look like, and how they may influence our cities. In any case, exotic urban features appear more and more as an inexhaustible source for progressive urban design ideas. When the exotic influenced the appearance of the “Art Nouveau” at the end of the 19th century, it might today have the power to create an “Urban Nouveau”.

We invite daring concepts, mind-stretching speculations and ground-breaking new strategies about the topic “Exotic Urbanism” for our next issue of MONU. Submissions may be essays, photography, art projects or design concepts that trigger the term “exotic” in the urban context. MONU #9 will be published in the summer of 2008. Submissions or questions should be sent to info@monu-magazine.com by the end of June 2008. www.monu-magazine.com

Cities of Sand and Fog: Abu Dhabi’s Arrival on the Global Scene, Yasser Elsheshtawy
----------------------------------------------------------------

This outstanding collection, written by sophisticated and engaged Arab architects/urbanists, is a stunning sequel to Planning Middle Eastern Cities (2004). Like its predecessor, it does three things: effectively demolishes the monopoly ‘orientalists’ had over the topic; integrates grounded Arab scholarship with mainstream ‘Western’ critical urban theory; and, by detailing the diverse ways Arab cities are responding to globalization, challenges oversimplified debates on ‘The Global City’.

Studies of Arab/Islamic cities used to be the province of ‘outsiders’ who not only prematurely generalized to a genre, but to one encapsulated in timelessness. In contrast, the case studies included in the earlier volume (Dubai, Sana’a, Baghdad, Algiers, Tunis, and Cairo), now supplemented in this volume by studies on three older cities (Amman, Beirut, and Rabat) and five newer oil cities (Riyadh, Kuwait City, Manama, Doha and Abu-Dhabi), focus, often critically, on the cities’ rapid transformations.

Each case study traces the city’s colonial and post-colonial history, the evolution of its distinctive social and physical structures, and its intersection with the region and the world. Particular attention is paid, inter alia, to the effects of recent wars, migration patterns, petroleum prices, and the increased role of ‘rulers’ in city planning and real- estate investment both within and between Arab countries. Each case study traces the increased interaction between multinational firms and local developers as they strategize and compete to elevate themselves to global city status. Neoliberalism and State-sponsored advanced capitalism are all implicated in the painful task of balancing identity and post-modernity.

A must read!

Excerpts from the Introduction by Ashraf M. Salama and Nicholas WilkinsonTitled: Legacies for the Future of Design Studio Pedagogy

"………Contemporary societies are in a continuous process of transformations and learning systems should respond to the changes associated with these transformations. Design and built environment professions are no exception and thus corresponding changes in education are crucially needed. There are continuous attempts to massage and modify design studio teaching practices, to re-configure the structure of studio content, and the way in which knowledge is delivered and experienced. However, consensus is lacking on the issue of what changes and developments in studio pedagogy will best meet the needs of design professions while supporting the aspirations of contemporary societies. In response, Design Studio Pedagogy: Horizons for the Future presents thoughts, ideas, and experiments of educators of different generations, different academic backgrounds, who are teaching and conducting research in different cultural contexts. It simply probes future universal visions within which the needs of future shapers of the built environment can be conceptualized and the design pedagogy that satisfies those needs can be debated. Since education is the cornerstone of any design profession, since the 'approach to' and the 'content of' that education is the bedrock for creating responsive built environments, and since the design studio is the backbone of architectural education, it is imperative that design studio pedagogy needs to be encountered in its broadest sense. As well, it is essential to deal with the subject as a rich field of research whose knowledge base, content, methods, tools and techniques can be examined and questioned. …………

This book addresses academics, practitioners, graduate students, and those who make decisions about the educational system. It offers a web of experiences and thoughts while laying the foundation to debate aspects, rituals, and future visions of studio pedagogy and their impact on design professions. This is not all; its value lies in the fact that it does not only provide visions —from different parts of the world-- on the body of knowledge required for successful studio teaching, but introduces actual experiences that would help transform this knowledge into guiding practices. Such visions and experiences represent prospects for future design studio pedagogy articulated in a conscious endeavor toward the betterment of the built environment: Design Studio Pedagogy: Horizons for the Future."

The following list represents online and printed coverage of Design Studio Pedagogy: Horizons for the Future

Traditional Spas / Hammams in the Mediterranean:

Rediscovering a Forgotten Heritage

A Special Issue- November 2008
Guest Editor Dr. Magda Sibley
School of Architecture - The University of Liverpool- UK

Based on a selection of papers presented at the International Conference to be held in Damascus under the title

The Traditional Hammam, a Gift from the Past for the Future
Damascus, Syria, July 13 – 16, 2008

Organised by the IFPO Institut Français du Proche-Orient and OIKODROM - The Vienna Institute for Urban Sustainability

This conference is the final dissemination meeting of the multi-disciplinary research consortium (12 institutions from both Europe and the Mediterranean countries) that has been working together for the last three yeas (since September 2005) on the HAMMAM project. The project was initiated and scientifically co-ordinated by Oikodrom, the Vienna Institute for Urban Sustainability; supported and financed by the European Commission’s 6th Framework Program Specific Targeted Research Projects Contract No.: 517704 under the name:

HAMMAM, Aspects and Multidisciplinary Methods of Analysis for the Mediterranean Region

The Islamic bath house Hammam is a central place of cultural heritage in the Mediterranean cities. Traditionally, the Hammam is a place of complex urban and societal relations with various functions: a support for health care and hygiene, a meeting place for merchants, one of the rare meeting places for women in the Islamic context, a place for relaxation and leisure, a place for confidential political discussions and a place for artistic and ceremonial activities. The Hammam also forms an important heritage building with a rich architecture and valuable lessons in environmental design. However, it has been neglected for a long time as studies on this building type have been rare and very few examples of restored and re-used historic Hammams exist today. In most Mediterranean cities, these historic buildings are on the way of disappearing, as many of them have been either demolished or totally ignored and forgotten. With the disappearance of them, Islamic cities are about to loose a major feature of their cultural heritage with detrimental consequences on the local urban, societal and architectural qualities.

Field work has been carried out over the last two years on seven case study hammams in six different Mediterranean cities (Cairo, Damascus, Fez, Constantine, Ankara and Gaza). Multi-disciplinary teams in collaboration with local stakeholders have worked together in the location of each case study building in order to increase national and international awareness about the importance of this heritage building and develop future scenarios for its the safeguard and its sustainable re-use.
