Serene Urbanism: A biophilic theory and practice of sustainable placemaking

Autor Phillip James Tabb
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 apr 2018
Serenity is becoming alarmingly absent from our daily existence, especially within the urban context. Time is dense and space is tumultuous. The idea of the serene has gained currency in postmodern discussions, and when combined with urbanism conjures questions, even contradictions, as the two ideas seem improbable yet their correspondence seems so inherently desirable. Integrated, these two constructs present design challenges as they manifest in differing ways across the rural–urban transect.
In response, Part I of this book establishes the theoretical framework through different contemporary perspectives, and concludes with a clear explanation of a theory of serene urbanism. The positive characteristics of urbanism and beneficial qualities of the serene are explored and related to sustainability, biophilia, placemaking and environmental design. Both principles and examples are presented as compelling portraits for the proposal of these new urban landscapes. Part II of the work is an in-depth exploration and analysis of serene urban ideas related to the intentional community being created outside of Atlanta, Georgia, USA. "Serenbe" is the name given to this place to commemorate the value and nuance between the serene and urban.

Recenzii

Phillip Tabb illustrates the practical power of good theory. He demonstrates that an understanding of nature can enable architects and planners to create authentic, deeply rooted places. His work in planning the new community Serenbe near Atlanta provides strong, positive evidence for Professor Tabb’s biophilic approach. This thoughtful, timely book bridges theory and practice and should interest those with a desire to better understand sustainable urban design and planning.

Descriere

This book presents a new theoretical framework through which to view sustainable place-making from the context of the seemingly incongruent and contradictory qualities of serenity and urbanism.
