  • After fifteenth century artists sought for a method on representation of nature through perspectiva artificialis. Perspectiva artificialis is become a tool for establishment of their theory and value. This study aim to study Orientation and mean of Anamorphosis in Architectural Perspective and transitional procedure of perspective in appealing the will of Architects. Initially, the concern of perspective is begun with optics in the Middle Ages. In Renaissance Ages perspective are presented a scientific and real world to a transformation of non-scientific world with visual cone, vanish oint and anamorphosis. In artists anamorphosis specially is a effective means to emphasize a affect of mannerism. Accordingly, perspective is discoursed to approached between art and technique. After renaissance perspective is become the driving force of the representation in spirit of scientific investigation ; while anamorphosis such a manneristic present in art is motived to prevent from obtaining its universe and implicity through their methodology.

  • This study is purposed to find the transition of the perspective connected with visual modality. The perspective based on Greek optics and euclidean geometry and rediscovered in Renaissance represents the object according to the particular moment and the point of view, is a principal fact which affect architecture, the form of a city and the spatial organization and symbolizes an ideal of the times. It embodied perception which treats the space rationally on the basis of realism and became visual modality based on the separation of the seeing subject and the world of the object. The point of view became one with the vanishing point which made up the shape and after Renaissance for four hundred years a straight line, a right angle and a circle got to be favorite geometrical choices in architecture. A fixed point of view of the subject is getting to change and break up fundamentally by the new visual technologies of the modem times.

  • This paper focuses on the dynamic behaviour of Mirandola City Hall (a XV century Renaissance Palace) that was severely damaged during May 2012 Emilia earthquake in Northern Italy. Experimental investigations have been carried out on this monumental building. Firstly, detailed investigations have been carried out to identify the identification of the geometry of the main constructional parts as well as the mechanical features of the constituting materials of the palace. Then, Ambient Vibration Tests (AVT) have been applied, for the detection of the main dynamic features. Three output-only identification methods have been compared: (i) the Frequency Domain Decomposition, (ii) the Random Decrement (RD) and the (iii) Eigensystem Realization Algorithm (ERA). The modal parameters of the Palace were difficult to be identified due to the severe structural damage; however the two bending modes in the perpendicular directions were identified. The comparison of the three experimental techniques showed a good agreement confirming the reliability of the three identification methods.

  • The purpose of this paper is to introduce two integrated urban development projects in Japan that take full advantage of flood-control reservoirs: the Tetsugakudo Park Collective Housing Development Project and the Koshigaya Lake Town Project. The former project - implemented cooperatively by the Tokyo metropolitan government in charge of river management, Shinjuku and Nakano wards (in Tokyo) responsible for park management, and the Urban Renaissance Agency, a housing project developer - set a significant precedent for three-dimensional river use by realizing the three-dimensional integrated development of a flood control reservoir, a park, and collective housing. The Koshigaya Lake Town Project, launched as a drastic storm water management measure for a low-lying area often plagued by flooding, has achieved a sustainable coexistence between the waterfront environment and the urban living environment, with an artificial flood-control reservoir as the core for urban development. This project is fully committed to environmental coexistence through the optimal use of local environmental resources, with the cooperation of the central government, Saitama Prefecture and Koshigaya City.

  • Otemachi(大手町) is the region where it plays a pivotal role in Japanese economy as representative head offices of companies including financial insurance, general trading, information and communication newspaper media are concentrated. However, regenerating the entire region from worn-out infrastructures of buildings and city into the fresh and vibrant foothold in international business was the problem to be solved. In this situation, was examined on the basis of administrative agencies and relevant enterprises to reconstruct office buildings in phases without ceasing business functions and activities by utilizing the large-scale vacant land occurred from the relocation of the national public institutions. The independent administrative institution 'Urban Renaissance Agency(UR)' has completed the examination of industrialization and participation request for the commencement of the project. In this article, The overview of , the new form of project promoted and cooperated by officials and people, is introduced by UR (Urban Renaissance Agency) reorganizing the land exchange and infrastructure through the land readjustment project, and at the same time, procuring capital and building office buildings in solidarity with private development enterprises and financial institutions.
