    METROPOLITAN ENCHANTMENT AND DISENCHANTMENT. METROPOLITAN ANTHROPOLOGY FOR THE CONTEMPORARY LIVING MAP CONSTRUCTION

    Get PDF
    We can no longer interpret the contemporary metropolis as we did in the last century. The thought of civil economy regarding the contemporary Metropolis conflicts more or less radically with the merely acquisitive dimension of the behaviour of its citizens. What is needed is therefore a new capacity for imagining the economic-productive future of the city: hybrid social enterprises, economically sustainable, structured and capable of using technologies, could be a solution for producing value and distributing it fairly and inclusively. Metropolitan Urbanity is another issue to establish. Metropolis needs new spaces where inclusion can occur, and where a repository of the imagery can be recreated. What is the ontology behind the technique of metropolitan planning and management, its vision and its symbols? Competitiveness, speed, and meritocracy are political words, not technical ones. Metropolitan Urbanity is the characteristic of a polis that expresses itself in its public places. Today, however, public places are private ones that are destined for public use. The Common Good has always had a space of representation in the city, which was the public space. Today, the Green-Grey Infrastructure is the metropolitan city's monument that communicates a value for future generations and must therefore be recognised and imagined; it is the production of the metropolitan symbolic imagery, the new magic of the city

    In order to warrant a good present and future for people around the planet and to safe the care of the planet itself, research in architecture has to release all its potential. Therefore, the aims of the 3rd Valencia International Biennial of Research in Architecture are: - To focus on the most relevant needs of humanity and the planet and what architectural research can do for solving them. - To assess the evolution of architectural research in traditionally matters of interest and the current state of these popular and widespread topics. - To deepen in the current state and findings of architectural research on subjects akin to post-capitalism and frequently related to equal opportunities and the universal right to personal development and happiness. - To showcase all kinds of research related to the new and holistic concept of sustainability and to climate emergency. - To place in the spotlight those ongoing works or available proposals developed by architectural researchers in order to combat the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. - To underline the capacity of architectural research to develop resiliency and abilities to adapt itself to changing priorities. - To highlight architecture's multidisciplinarity as a melting pot of multiple approaches, points of view and expertise. - To open new perspectives for architectural research by promoting the development of multidisciplinary and inter-university networks and research groups. For all that, the 3rd Valencia International Biennial of Research in Architecture is open not only to architects, but also for any academic, practitioner, professional or student with a determination to develop research in architecture or neighboring fields.Cabrera Fausto, I.

    VII Edición del Congreso Internacional sobre Innovación, Aprendizaje y Cooperación, CINAIC 2023 El congreso se organiza de forma bianual y en esta edición la participación del congreso será totalmente presencial. La celebración será en Madrid, concretamente en la Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros de Minas y Energía. Desde el año 2011 CINAIC organiza actividades presenciales y online de forma continua y los años pares organiza el Congreso Científico Internacional. Su línea de acción se basa en cuatro ejes: Punto de encuentro donde intercambiar buenas prácticas de innovación educativa, conocer las últimas novedades, obtener una formación aplicada de las principales innovaciones educativas y, principalmente, conocer a personas que compartimos unas mismas inquietudes por la mejora del aprendizaje. Medio de divulgación de los trabajos presentados a través de las actas con ISSN y DOI individual, selección de los mejores trabajos para invitación a presentarse a revistas científicas de impacto (Scopus y JCR) y este año con la posibilidad de publicar los trabajos presentados en Scopus. Tras la exitosa experiencia de la convocatoria del 2021 donde se publicaron parte de los trabajos en la editorial Springer, este año trataremos de que todos los trabajos aceptados se publiquen en dicha editorial. Escenario para experimentar con innovaciones metodológicas en cuanto a su organización. Algunas de ellas se presentarán por primera vez en este congreso, como los espacios de innovación docente, y otras ya están consolidadas en ediciones anteriores como “Ecolab” (espacio abierto de discusión), “Presentaciones en formato Pecha-Kucha” (20 diapositivas con 20” de duración cada una), “Mesa redonda de palabras” (mesas redondas sociales donde los asistentes forman parte de la misma) y “Escuela de Cocina” (se exponen recetas para preparar innovaciones docentes aplicadas en el aula) y «Desmontando la Innovación docente» A fondo. Análisis de temas relacionados con la innovación educativa: Tendencias, medición de la innovación educativa, escenarios para el desarrollo, análisis, etc. Cooperación y servicio. Desde el comité de acción social el congreso presta ayuda material y formativa en entornos desfavorecidos para potenciar el aprendizaje tanto del profesorado como de su alumnado

    This volume contains the proceedings of the 5th International Symposium on Cone Penetration Testing (CPT’22), held in Bologna, Italy, 8-10 June 2022. More than 500 authors - academics, researchers, practitioners and manufacturers – contributed to the peer-reviewed papers included in this book, which includes three keynote lectures, four invited lectures and 169 technical papers. The contributions provide a full picture of the current knowledge and major trends in CPT research and development, with respect to innovations in instrumentation, latest advances in data interpretation, and emerging fields of CPT application. The paper topics encompass three well-established topic categories typically addressed in CPT events: - Equipment and Procedures - Data Interpretation - Applications. Emphasis is placed on the use of statistical approaches and innovative numerical strategies for CPT data interpretation, liquefaction studies, application of CPT to offshore engineering, comparative studies between CPT and other in-situ tests. Cone Penetration Testing 2022 contains a wealth of information that could be useful for researchers, practitioners and all those working in the broad and dynamic field of cone penetration testing
