SVERRE PEDERSEN

https://www.arkitektur-n.no/artikler/pedersen-og-rinnan#
Sverre Pedersen og Frode Rinnan representerer ulike plantradisjoner, men er blant de få som gjorde det 20. århundres norske byplanlegging interessant, sier Karl Otto Ellefsen. Med utgangspunkt i to nye biografier beskriver Ellefsen hvordan Pedersens og Rinnans livsløp førte dem sammen i en kritisk fase i norsk historie, i årene etter den annen verdenskrig – en historie som fikk svært forskjellig utfall for hver av dem.

MICHELANGELO


Italian sculptor, painter, architect and poet of the High Renaissance born in the Republic of Florence, who exerted an unparalleled influence on the development of Western art. Considered by many the greatest artist of his lifetime, and by some the greatest artist of all time, his artistic versatility was of such a high order that he is often considered a contender for the title of the archetypal Renaissance man.



GIANBATISTA NOLLI

Giambattista Nolli (or Giovanni Battista, April 9, 1701 – July 1, 1756) was an Italian architect and surveyor. He is best known for his ichnographic plan of Rome, the Pianta Grande di Roma which he began surveying in 1736 and engraved in 1748, and now universally known as the Nolli Map. The map is composed of 12 copper plate engravings that together measures 176 centimetres (69 in) by 208 centimetres (82 in) and was published in response to the commission of Pope Benedict XIV to survey Rome in order to help create demarcations for the 14 traditional rioni or districts.[3] It was by far the most accurate description of Rome produced to date at a time when the architectural achievement of the Papacy was in full flower.

LEWIS MUNFORD - SOCIAL SOMA

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Mumford

Aunque destaque sus análisis sobre la utopía y la ciudad Jardín, sus obras más resonantes, sin embargo, pertenecen a un género interdisciplinar y erudito realmente único en el siglo XX, dónde se dan cita ciencia, tecnología, religión, psicología (psicoanálisis en particular), arte, antropología, estética o biología entre otras. Esto es especialmente evidente en su gran obra final, El mito de la máquina, quizás la última gran obra humanista y totalista de su centuria. No en vano, Lewis Mumford ha sido tildado de "último humanista del siglo XX" y "erudito entre los eruditos", si bien su humanismo forma parte de una intensa crítica y renovación de un término que él mismo consideraba caduco en su centuria.

DANIEL BURNHAM

Burnham was an early environmentalist, writing: "Up to our time, strict economy in the use of natural resources has not been practiced, but it must be henceforth unless we are immoral enough to impair conditions in which our children are to live," although he also believed that the automobile would be a positive environmental factor, with the end of horse-based transportation bringing "a real step in civilization ... With no smoke, no gases, no litter of horses, your air and streets will be clean and pure. This means, does it not, that the health and spirits of men will be better?" Like many men of his time, he also showed an interest in the supernatural, saying "If I were able to take the time, I believe that I could prove the continuation of life beyond the grave, reasoning from the necessity, philosophically speaking, of a belief in an absolute and universal power."[49]

DONALD APPLEYARD


MORE TRAFFIC LESS FRIENDS








His 1981 book Livable Streets was described at the time by Grady Clay, the editor of the Landscape Architecture magazine, as "the most thorough and detailed work on urban streets to date".[1] It contained a comparison of three streets of similar morphology in San Francisco, which had different levels of car traffic: one with 2,000 vehicles per day, the others with 8,000 respectively 16,000 vehicles per day. His empirical research demonstrated that residents of the street with low car traffic volume had three times more friends than those living on the street with high car traffic.[1]
Appleyard is co-author with Allan Jacobs of the paper "Toward an Urban Design Manifesto".

HIPPODAMUS OF MILETUS





 


According to Aristotle, he was the first urban planner to focus attention to proper arrangements of cities. He laid out the Piraeus (the port of Athens) for Pericles, with wide streets radiating from the central Agora, which was generally called the Hippodameia in his honour,[6] and built the refounded city of Rhodes[7] in the form of a theater. In 440 BC he went out among the Athenian colonists[8] and planned the new city of Thurium (later Thurii), in Magna Graecia, with streets crossing at right angles; as a consequence he is sometimes referred to as Hippodamus of Thurium. His principles were later adopted in many important cities, such as Halicarnassus, Alexandria and Antioch.[9]
Strabo[10] credited the architect of Piraeus with the layout of the new city of Rhodes in 408 BC; however, as Hippodamus was involved in 479 BC with helping the reconstruction of Miletus he would have been very old when this project took place.
The grid plans attributed to him consisted of series of broad, straight streets, cutting one another at right angles. In Miletus we can find the prototype plan of Hippodamus. What is most impressive in his plan is a wide central area, which was kept unsettled according to his macro-scale urban prediction/estimation and in time evolved to the "Agora", the centre of both the city and the society.[citation needed]
