    The Master Plan Study is a response to this desire, as well as to the need to accommodate the campus' academic plans. By defining qualities that are most critical to the campus' identity and its strength as an academic setting, and by suggesting ways in which they can be preserved and enhanced as the campus grows, the Master Plan Study provides a basis for stewardship. Further, there are special problems and opportunites associated with the developing a master plan for the major university that is already substantially developed and is anticipating continued growth.…

    Architectural buildings are an important part of art and life because they express human creativity and unique qualities. Notably, over the last one decade, architecture has gone through significant transformation. Nevertheless, despite how old an architectural design becomes with time, it retains certain qualities which makes it appreciate value (Bressani, 2014, 12). For example, old architectural designs such as enlightenment period buildings during the 18th and century are still being combined with modern design to create marvelous structures (Bressani, 2014, 39). Despite architectural changes, these structures still embody history, memory, or tradition of formal architectural standards. Among the examples of these building include Pond…

    Before even learning the actual meaning of Urban Design and Urban Planning I was really confused of the meaning of the two. Both give an ambiguous meaning that I can hardly differentiate. After reading through the context, I am elated for the clarification I acquired. I now clearly understand how the two work out without even stepping on each other’s dignity. What is more elating is that a registered and licensed architect could become either an Urban Designer or an Urban Planner. Isn’t that a good news? Urban design and urban planning are both process of developing cities, towns and villages. What makes them distinct from each other is the scope of its practice. Urban design focuses on those developments such as group of buildings, streets, public spaces and other factors functioning in an urban area making it sustainable as well as architecturally appealing. As defined in R.A No. 9266, the Architecture Act of 2004, some terminologies are mentioned to fully understand the theory of practice engaged to urban design. But it was stated in R.A No. 9053, the Philippine Landscape Architecture Act of 2000, that a landscape architect also has the credibility on urban design as part of the scope of the practice of the profession. Being a versatile profession, an RLA could also become an urban designer as long as he/she have long been practicing the services whether it is general or specialized and he/she had consistently worked with a registered and licensed landscape architect(RLLA). But to best achieve the profession as an urban designer he/she must pass the licensure exam to become an RLLA. Defining urban planning further, as mentioned in the article, it is the technical and political process with a larger scale of planning concerning with the control of the land use and design of the urban environment as well as ensuring a proper and orderly development of settlements and community as a whole. We can…

    • The history of GIS involves some controversy as parallel development occurred in North America, Europe, and Australia. • Much of the published work on GIS focus on US contributions. • The Canada Geographic Information System or CGIS is the first GIS developed in 1960s . • Roots in Canada Land Inventory (CLI) mapping project : a multilayer land-use / planning map of Canada’s inhabited and productive land – around 1 million square miles. • CGIS was planned and developed as a measuring tool, a producer of tabular information, rather than a mapping tool. The first GIS was the Canada Geographic Information System, designed in the mid-1960s as a computerized map measuring system. • Although GIS had many roots, but Dr. Roger Tomlinson is said to be its father. • The second burst of innovation occurred in the late 1960s in the US Bureau of the Census, in planning the tools needed to conduct the 1970 Census of Population. • The DIME program (Dual Independent Map Encoding) created digital records of all US streets, to support automatic referencing and aggregation of census records. • The similarity of this technology to that of CGIS was recognized immediately, and led to a major program at Harvard University’s Laboratory for Computer Graphics and Spatial Analysis to develop a general-purpose GIS that could handle the needs of both applications – a project that led eventually to the ODYSSEY GIS of the late 1970s. • In a largely separate development during the latter half of the 1960s, cartographers and mapping agencies had begun to ask whether computers might be adapted to their needs, and possibly to reducing the costs and shortening the time of map creation. • The UK Experimental Cartography Unit (ECU)pioneered high quality computer mapping in 1968; it published the world’s first computer made map in a regular series in 1973 with the British Geological Survey. • The ECU also pioneered GIS work in education, post and zip…

    The urban metropolitan areas are interesting to study because they are places where different cultures and urban practises encounter each other. In the age of economic globalisation, multimedia communication and transnational migration these urban areas are increasingly changing. On another level, this phenomena influence people’s lifestyles and as a result their dwelling practices are changing. This affects the Eastern European cities as well as Western European cities. Generally, the urban spaces are in need of new strategies that deal with the problems facing urban development. I am interested in studying the urban condition globally and analysing the urban design strategies and practises of urban space creation.…
