Green open space in large scale housing estates: a place for challenge
The renewal of urban areas by developing green open spaces increases the overall quality of life and helps to reduce social exclusion. Urban green open space can help to constitute a framework where urban society and culture can develop, and to increase identity and a sense of community. It can be used to provide a ground for education and raise an awareness of the way ecosystems function and how urban functions can be integrated into the natural system. Despite the known socio-economic benefits resulting from it, considerations regarding sustainable land use planning often occupy a secondary role when designing city quarters. There exist many pressures ā essentially market-related and driven by short-term thinking ā for unsustainable development.
Housing ownership reform, carrying out denationalization and privatization, along with a core capital for many inhabitants has also created a range of problems ā one of them: as a result of denationalisation of land properties, when the land in large-scale residential districts was returned to the previous owners and then provided as the minimum required land to the privatised buildings, the original spatial composition of districts was completely destroyed, creating a legal basis for new construction in large-scale residential districts
Implementing Bioclimatic Design in Sustainable Architectural Practice
Today one of the topical issues in Latvia relates to the compliance of the architectural practice with the modern concept of sustainable development. Although the beginning of the first decade
of the 21st century introduced positive ideas promoting energy efficient architecture in Latvia, the worldwide experience has shown that despite the importance of environmental ideas in designing,
their introduction and implementation in practice often encounter problems. This article addresses a number of factors that should be taken into account introducing changes to the current practice of architectural design in line with the modern principles of sustainable development and bioclimatic design

Urban Development Effect on Passive House Energy Consumption
The paper describes one of the energy-efficient building concepts ā a passive house. In the course of the works there was simulated a multifamily residential house in order to determine its constructive and spatial parameters that would ensure a passive house with energy efficiency consistent to standards. For the building simulation there were applied the climatic data of the capital of Latvia Riga. Initially there was chosen an optimal orientation of the building and maximum theoretical insolation of the building. At the second stage there were studied the external factors ā the shade caused by the surrounding buildings and the effect of the building orientation dictated by urban conditions on the previously achieved energy efficiency rating. The results evidence that the layout of window apertures and the change of orientation, as well as shading caused by the surrounding buildings, play a significant role in the rating of the building energy efficiency, nonetheless it does not interfere with achieving the passive house standards
BioklimatiskÄ arhitektÅ«ra ilgtspÄjÄ«bas kontekstÄ
IlgtspÄjÄ«gas attÄ«stÄ«bas definÄ«cija āapmierinÄt Å”odienas vajadzÄ«bas, neapdraudot nÄkoÅ”o paaudžu vajadzÄ«bu nodroÅ”inÄÅ”anuā tiek attiecinÄta arÄ« uz arhitektÅ«ru. NosacÄ«ts vidusceļŔ starp āenergoefektÄ«vas arhitektÅ«rasā koncepciju un ilgtspÄjÄ«gas arhitektÅ«ras jÄdzienu ir bioklimatiskÄs arhitektÅ«ras koncepcija. TÄs mÄrÄ·is ir radÄ«t dabai un cilvÄkam piemÄrotu arhitektoniski telpisko vidi, maksimÄli izmantojot vietÄjos pieejamos resursus, dabas un klimata apstÄkļus, ar arhitektoniski telpiskiem paÅÄmieniem samazinot vajadzÄ«bu pÄc mÄkslÄ«giem mikroklimata regulÄÅ”anas veidiem. BioklimatiskÄs arhitektÅ«ras iedvesmas avoti rodami gan dažÄdu zinÄtnes nozaru sintÄzÄ, gan tautas celtniecÄ«bÄ uzkrÄtajÄ pieredzÄ. TomÄr mehÄniska reÄ£ionÄlÄs arhitektÅ«ras formu kopÄÅ”ana bioklimatiskÄs arhitektÅ«ras kontekstÄ ir diskutabla. TurklÄt ir grÅ«ti piemÄrot tautas celtniecÄ«bÄ sakÅotu estÄtiku daudziem mÅ«sdienu Äku tipiem, piemÄram, biroju ÄkÄm. IlgtspÄjÄ«bas ideju interpretÄcijas arhitektÅ«rÄ ir robežÄs no tradicionÄlo materiÄlu un bÅ«vniecÄ«bas paÅÄmienu izmantoÅ”anas (low-tech) lÄ«dz pat modernÄko tehnoloÄ£iju akcentÄÅ”anai arhitektÅ«rÄ (eco-tech). Kaut arÄ« sÄkotnÄji liekas neiespÄjami saskatÄ«t vienojoÅ”Äs pazÄ«mes starp low-tech estÄtikÄ veidotu Äku un stiklotu eco-tech augstceltni pilsÄtas vidÅ«, tÄm ir kas kopÄ«gs. TÄ ir dabas un klimatisko apstÄkļu ievÄrtÄÅ”ana Äkas projektÄÅ”anÄ jau no arhitektoniskÄs koncepcijas dzimÅ”anas brīža. No Ŕī viena izejas punkta iespÄjams sasniegt vizuÄli visdažÄdÄkos rezultÄtus, gala rezultÄtÄ nonÄkot pie reÄ£ionÄlajai videi un klimatam specifiski pielÄgotas arhitektÅ«ras, kas vislabÄk der un darbojas tikai tai paredzÄtÄ vietÄ
TradÄ«ciju un bioklimatisko faktoru mijiedarbÄ«ba reÄ£ionÄlajÄ arhitektÅ«rÄ
Lai radÄ«tu arhitektÅ«ru, kas ir piemÄrota reÄ£ionÄlajai videi, ir jÄievÄro gan estÄtiskais konteksts, gan vietÄjie dabas un klimatiskie apstÄkļi. BioklimatiskÄ arhitektÅ«ras projektÄÅ”ana ir seviŔķi svarÄ«ga mÅ«sdienu globÄlo problÄmu kontekstÄ. BioklimatiskÄs arhitektÅ«ras principi bieži ir sakÅoti tautas celtniecÄ«bas vÄsturiskajos principos, atklÄjot vietÄjo tradÄ«ciju, klimata un dabas spÄku mijiedarbÄ«bu arhitektÅ«ras projektÄÅ”anÄ
Passive Design
Passive design refers to such type of design strategy which makes use of maximum architectural design (including the structural elements of the building, the building location on the site etc.) in order to facilitate energy savings during the lifetime of the building. The article provides a review of the passive design concept
Participatory Planning
Participation is one of the fundamental aspects of social sustainability, which is necessary in order to ensure sustainable development of a municipality.One of the tasks of the participatory planning is to involve all of society in the different levels of spatial planning of both urban and rural environments, as well as in implementation processes
