Creating Open Space Networks

U članku se opisuje kako planeri, pejsažni arhitekti i srodni stručnjaci mogu pomoći pri učinkovitijem oblikovanju prostora tako da važna mjesna obilježja (koja propisi malo kad štite) pretvore u središta oko kojih se planira oblikovanje. Dalekovidnim planiranjem (za koje se rabi naziv vizioniranje) moguće je osigurati povezivanje većih površina zaštićenih otvorenih prostora u mrežu očuvanog zemljišta koja se prostire određenim područjem.This paper describes practical ways that planners, landscape architects, and related professionals can help communities shape their new development patterns more effectively, so that features that are noteworthy or significant at the local or neighborhood level (but which are rarely protected under current codes) will become the central organizing elements around which each development is designed. With farsighted planning (trendily referred to as "visioning"), local officials can help to ensure that most of the open space thus protected will ultimately form an interconnected network of conservation lands running throughout their communities

Vilhelm Lundstedt’s ‘Legal Machinery’ and the Demise of Juristic Practice

This article aims to contribute to the academic debate on the general crisis faced by law schools and the legal professions by discussing why juristic practice is a matter of experience rather than knowledge. Through a critical contextualisation of Vilhelm Lundstedt’s thought under processes of globalisation and transnationalism, it is argued that the demise of the jurist’s function is related to law’s scientification as brought about by the metaphysical construction of reality. The suggested roadmap will in turn reveal that the current voiding of juristic practice and its teaching is part of the crisis regarding what makes us human

Stvaranje mreža otvorenih prostora
