Busan (부산 (Korean pronunciation: [pusʰan]), officially Busan Metropolitan City), Latinized Pusan before 2000,[3] is South Korea's second largest metropolis after Seoul, with a population of approximately 3.6 million.[1] The population of the metropolitan area, including the adjacent cities of Gimhae and Yangsan, is approximately 4.6 million.
It is the largest port city in South Korea and the world's fifth busiest seaport by cargo tonnage.[4] The city is located on the southeastern-most tip of the Korean peninsula. The most densely built up areas of the city are situated in a number of narrow valleys between the Nakdong River and Suyeong River, with mountains separating some of the districts. Administratively, it is designated as a Metropolitan City. The Busan metropolitan area is divided into 15 major administrative districts and a single county. New Urbanism. New Urbanism is an urban design movement which promotes walkable neighborhoods containing a range of housing and job types.
It arose in the United States in the early 1980s, and has gradually informed many aspects of real estate development, urban planning, and municipal land-use strategies. The organizing body for New Urbanism is the Congress for the New Urbanism, founded in 1993. Its foundational text is the Charter of the New Urbanism, which says: We advocate the restructuring of public policy and development practices to support the following principles: neighborhoods should be diverse in use and population; communities should be designed for the pedestrian and transit as well as the car; cities and towns should be shaped by physically defined and universally accessible public spaces and community institutions; urban places should be framed by architecture and landscape design that celebrate local history, climate, ecology, and building practice.[3]
City Beautiful movement. The City Beautiful Movement was a reform philosophy of North American architecture and urban planning that flourished during the 1890s and 1900s with the intent of introducing beautification and monumental grandeur in cities.
The movement, which was originally associated mainly with Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, and Washington, D.C. promoted beauty not only for its own sake, but also to create moral and civic virtue among urban populations.[1] Advocates of the philosophy believed that such beautification could thus promote a harmonious social order that would increase the quality of life, while critics would complain that the movement was overly concerned with aesthetics at the expense of social reform; Jane Jacobs referred to the movement as an "architectural design cult".[2] History[edit] Origins and effect[edit] Architectural idioms[edit] World's Columbian Exposition[edit] Louisiana Purchase Exposition[edit] McMillan Plan[edit]
Cute Space Saving House In Tokyo. ‘Less is more’ and that is the new mantra!
For those who need proof, here is ‘Reflection of the Mineral’, a house built in downtown Nakano, a ward in Tokyo which is roughly just 480 square foot in size. What stands out in this house designed by Yasuhiro Yamashita, is the successful usage of modern architectural ideas combined with clever use of space as well as structured design. Having being built on sparse land, it has made use of every inch of space available and in turn has successfully carved a niche for itself in the architectural world. Even though the use of furniture is minimal, it is equipped with every facility that a family may need for its stay. Tumblr Themes. American City of Future (1925) #2.
