Geografía de la salud
Geografía de la salud
Olivera, Ana
1993
Madrid, Síntesis. 160 p.
Resumen: La enfermedad o la salud no pueden tratarse aisladas de los contextos físico, social y cultural. Los abundantes análisis sociológicos, antropológicos, económicos y geográficos ponen de manifiesto la necesidad de que se evalúe la salud pública dentro de estos contextos y con el fin de apostar por una Medicina integral y practicar una Geografía “aplicable”.

La geografía en la vida cotidiana
La geografía en la vida cotidiana: de los mapas cognitivos al prejuicio regional
De Castro, Constancio
1997
Barcelona, Ediciones del Serbal. 248 p.
Resumen: La tendencia imparable hacia la urbanización progresiva ha conducido al autor a detenerse en la figura del hombre urbano como foco de atención preferente. De ahí surgen los tres grandes temas que constituyen la obra: la percepción de los entornos urbanos a través de la confección de mapas cognitivos o mapas mentales que maneja el peatón para orientarse en los vericuetos urbanos, y que tienen poco que ver con los esquemas trazados por el arquitecto o ingeniero que ha fabricado la ciudad; la memoria geográfica del hombre urbano u otras imágenes y representaciones de lugares geográficos, que trascienden el entorno familiar, y finalmente, se aborda un aspecto social, el prejuicio regional, tema candente de nuestro tiempo.

Mountain geomorphology
Mountain geomorphology
Owens, Philip N.
Slaymaker, Olav
2013
London, New York, Routledge. 313 p.
Resumen: Mountains represent one of the most inspiring and attractive natural features on the surface of the earth. Visually, they dominate the landscape. However, the increasing realization of the fragility of mountain areas because of changes in land use, management and climate, combined with an understanding of their importance for water and other natural resources, has resulted in a growing interest in mountain environments in recent years. Hence, Mountain Geomorphology represents a timely and unique contribution to the literature.
Written by a team of international experts, this book is divided into three sections, which consider historical, functional and applied mountain geomorphology from both global and local perspectives. Historical mountain geomorphology focuses on the evolution of landforms. Functional mountain geomorphology emphasises the interaction between processes and landforms, while applied mountain geomorphology concerns the interrelationships between geomorphological processes and society.

Handbook of beach and shoreface morphodynamics
Handbook of beach and shoreface morphodynamics
Short, Andrew D.
1999
Chichester, John Wiley & Sons. 379 p.
Resumen: The beach and adjacent shoreface are the most dynamic part of the Earth's surface. They represent a narrow zone where waves, tides and winds continously interact, producing, wherever sediment is available, hundreds of thousands of kilometres of beach systems. Beaches are also the focus of intense pressure from users and developers, and for these reasons alone a knowledge of beach systems and their morphodynamics is critical to their sustainable management. This book is the first to provide an in-depth and holistic view of beach systems, looking both in detail at the different beach zones and globally at range of parameters influencing regional variation in beach systems from the tropics to the poles. Furthermore it examines the relationship between beaches and ancillary dune systems and includes chapters on beach ecology, safety, stratification and barrier evolution.

Landscape ecology in theory and practice
Landscape ecology in theory and practice: pattern and process
Turner, Monica G.
Gardner, Robert H.
O'Neill, Robert V.
2011
New York, Springer. 401 p.
Resumen: An ideal text for students taking a course in landscape ecology. The book has been written by very well-known practitioners and pioneers in the new field of ecological analysis. Landscape ecology has emerged during the past two decades as a new and exciting level of ecological study. Environmental problems such as global climate change, land use change, habitat fragmentation and loss of biodiversity have required ecologists to expand their traditional spatial and temporal scales and the widespread availability of remote imagery, geographic information systems, and desk top computing has permitted the development of spatially explicit analyses. In this new text book this new field of landscape ecology is given the first fully integrated treatment suitable for the student. Throughout, the theoretical developments, modeling approaches and results, and empirical data are merged together, so as not to introduce barriers to the synthesis of the various approaches that constitute an effective ecological synthesis. The book also emphasizes selected topic areas in which landscape ecology has made the most contributions to our understanding of ecological processes, as well as identifying areas where its contributions have been limited. Each chapter features questions for discussion as well as recommended reading.

Situated design methods
Situated design methods
Simonsen, Jesper
2014
Cambridge, Mass., Mit Press. 400 p.
Resumen: A handbook of situated design methods, with analyses and cases that range from designing study processes to understanding customer experiences to developing interactive installations. All design is situated—carried out from an embedded position. Design involves many participants and encompasses a range of interactions and interdependencies among designers, designs, design methods, and users. Design is also multidisciplinary, extending beyond the traditional design professions into such domains as health, culture, education, and transportation. This book presents eighteen situated design methods, offering cases and analyses of projects that range from designing interactive installations, urban spaces, and environmental systems to understanding customer experiences. Each chapter presents a different method, combining theoretical, methodological, and empirical discussions with accounts of actual experiences. The book describes methods for defining and organizing a design project, organizing collaborative processes, creating aesthetic experiences, and incorporating sustainability into processes and projects. The diverse and multidisciplinary methods presented include a problem- and project-based approach to design studies; a “Wheel of Rituals” intended to promote creativity; a pragmatist method for situated experience design that derives from empirical studies of film production and performance design; and ways to transfer design methods in a situated manner. The book will be an important resource for researchers, students, and practitioners of interdisciplinary design.

Greever, Tom
2015
Beijing, O'Reilly. 258 p.
Resumen: Talking to people about your designs might seem like a basic skill, but it can be difficult to do efficiently and well. And, in many cases, how you communicate about your work with stakeholders, clients, and other non-designers is more critical than the designs themselves—simply because the most articulate person usually wins. This practical guide focuses on principles, tactics, and actionable methods for presenting your designs. Whether you design UX, websites, or products, you’ll learn how to win over anyone who has influence over the project—with the goal of creating the best experience for the end user. Walk through the process of preparing for and presenting your designs Understand stakeholder perspectives, and learn how to empathize with them Cultivate both implicit and explicit listening skills Learn tactics and formulas for expressing the most effective response to feedback Discover why the way you follow through is just as crucial as the meeting itself Educate your stakeholders by sharing the chapter from this book on how to work with designers

From products to services
From products to services: insights and experience from companies which have embraced the service economy
Young, Laurie
2008
Chichester, England, John Wiley & Sons. 353 p.
Resumen: Included are some of the most famous business names in the western world: Unisys, Ericsson, Michelin, Nokia and HP. For IBM it was Lou Gerstener’s ‘big bet’; at GE it was one of former CEO Jack Welch’s ‘four major strategies’ and, at General Motors, the financial services arm was its most profitable business for many years. Yet very little has been published on this profound transition. As a result, myths and idiocies abound. Some routinely claim that the ‘evolution from products through services to solutions’ is inevitable. Others think that manufacturing is being outsourced to China and India while American or European teenagers face a career in hamburger stalls. The truth is much more fascinating. To succeed in a service business, most functions of a product company need to change. Operations, management, recruitment, finance, sales, new product development and marketing must all be adjusted. So the move into service therefore involves huge risk caused by disruptive and radical change. What has pushed realistic business people in such widely different industrial sectors to take so large a risk? Does their experience contain lessons or warnings for others? Is the trend likely to continue and affect other parts of the world as their economies develop? Will India, China or other developing economies need to learn how to export service once their manufacturing industries mature? Written by a successful businessman who has been at the heart of these changes in several companies and, with case studies from companies like IBM, Unilever, BT, Michelin, Ericsson and Nokia, this book explores the experience of those who have made the transition; and some who have resisted it. It covers in depth subjects such as: strategic focus, change management, service operations, branding a service business, service sales and service marketing. It is the first major work on this subject.

To succeed in a service business, most functions of a product company need to change. Operations, management, recruitment, finance, sales, new product development and marketing must all be adjusted. So the move into service therefore involves huge risk caused by disruptive and radical change. What has pushed realistic business people in such widely different industrial sectors to take so large a risk? Does their experience contain lessons or warnings for others? Is the trend likely to continue and affect other parts of the world as their economies develop? Will India, China or other developing economies need to learn how to export service once their manufacturing industries mature? Written by a successful businessman who has been at the heart of these changes in several companies and, with case studies from companies like IBM, Unilever, BT, Michelin, Ericsson and Nokia, this book explores the experience of those who have made the transition; and some who have resisted it. It covers in depth subjects such as: strategic focus, change management, service operations, branding a service business, service sales and service marketing. It is the first major work on this subject.

Experience maps
Experience maps: journey maps, service blueprints, empathy maps
Curedale, Robert
2016
Topanga, CA., Design Community College. 400 p.
Resumen:In this book are described the most powerful tools available to craft a superior experiences for your customers and end users. These powerful and flexible methods are collectively known as experience maps. In the 20th-century product styling like advertising was about making people want things. These maps are a response to the realization that it is more efficient and successful to make products, services, and experiences that people want and need. They can be used to optimize the design of goods, services, architecture, spaces and interactions and to plan business strategy. Through applying these methods organizations can deliver a more compelling and valuable experience. Mapping builds consensus across your organization with stakeholders, to positively impact your entire organization and your bottom line. These methods are core strategic tools and I believe will become required skills for every working designer and manager.

The service innovation handbook
The service innovation handbook: action-oriented creative thinking toolkit for service organizations
Kimbell, Lucy
2014
Amsterdam, Bis Publishers, 240 p.
Resumen: This is an action-oriented book for managers and entrepreneurs searching ways to tackle issues they face in terms of developing and delivering services. The book focuses on service organizations, but has a broad interpretation of what services are. Directed to the business world and combines inspirational text that is full of examples, with the features of a useful handbook of practical methods with associated templates. The central argument is that managers and entrepreneurs designing service offerings will benefit from using approaches and methods from design and the arts, especially at the early stages of projects. Sometimes called “design thinking” or “design innovation”, such approaches help organizations explore and create new configurations of people and things that support users, customers, staff and partners in creating value together. In short, this book argues that design and arts-based approaches are valuable to managers and entrepreneurs designing services, when uncertainty and ambiguity are high. It shows when and how to use these approaches, introduces specific methods, reviews their strengths and limitations, and finally helps managers think through what it takes to start using them in projects and within teams and develop the culture and behaviours that access the creativity they support.

The service economy
The service economy: a geographical approach
Illeris, Sven
1996
Chichester, England, John Wiley & Sons. 236 p.
Resumen:Services dominate the modern economy. This controversial and important book reviews research into the development and future of the service economy. Professor Illeris synthesises not only English language research on the nature and function of services, but also introduces the lesser-known but equally important work done on services by researchers in other languages which often reaches surprising and challenging conclusions. While the emphasis is on producer services in the western world, due consideration is also given to the role and significance of personal and household services which have been frequently ignored in the literature. The approach adopted is geographical and macro-economic and among the topics discussed are the nature and classification of service activities, the role and importance of services in the overall economy and the increasing importance of services in regional development and international trade. The overall theme of the book is how our society has been transformed into a service economy and what this implies for individuals, institutions and states as both producers and consumers of services. This is a key text for students and researchers of economics, economic geography, planning, regional science and applied social science as well as of interest to planners, consultants and managers in service industries and government.

The animator's survival kit
The animator's survival kit
Williams, Richard
2009
New York, Farrar, Straus and Giroux. 382 p.
Resumen:The definitive book on animation, from the Academy Award-winning animator behind Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Animation is one of the hottest areas of filmmaking today--and the master animator who bridges the old generation and the new is Richard Williams. During his fifty years in the business, Williams has been one of the true innovators, winning three Academy Awards and serving as the link between Disney's golden age of animation by hand and the new computer animation exemplified by Toy Story. Perhaps even more important, though, has been his dedication in passing along his knowledge to a new generation of animators so that they in turn could push the medium in new directions. In this book, based on his sold-out master classes in the United States and across Europe, Williams provides the underlying principles of animation that every animator--from beginner to expert, classic animator to computer animation whiz --needs. Urging his readers to "invent but be believable," he illustrates his points with hundreds of drawings, distilling the secrets of the masters into a working system in order to create a book that will become the standard work on all forms of animation for professionals, students, and fans.

Escipión Munizaga Suárez arquitecto 1906 - 2002
Munizaga Vigil, Gustavo
2008
Santiago de Chile, Ediciones Universidad Diego Portales. 182 p.
Resumen: La picota santiaguina no ha logrado aniquilar la obra arquitectónica de Escipión Munizaga Suárez (1906 – 2002). La mayoría de sus notables edificaciones -casas, edificios de departamentos, teatros y bancos en Santiago, Providencia y Las Condes- siguen en pie para beneficio de sus moradores y de la ciudad en general. A la vez tradicionalista y renovador, Munizaga procedió con eclecticismo en la consecución de sus proyectos, priorizando siempre a las personas reales que habitarían sus inmuebles. Fue, según sus propias palabras, un arquitecto de tablero y de obra, por lo que nunca sufrió el marco de las teorías. Este libro revisa detalladamente la trayectoria del gran arquitecto Escipión Munizaga Suárez entre los años 20 y los 70, poniéndola en relación con el entorno social y cultural de cada momento. En sus páginas el lector encontrará un documento único sobre un período fundamental de la historia de nuestra arquitectura. Tabla de contenidos

La explosión de lo urbano
La explosión de lo urbano
Brenner, Neil
2016
Santiago de Chile, Ediciones ARQ. 199 p.
Resumen: Frente a la incesante explosión de las zonas urbanas alrededor del mundo, las disciplinas del diseño requieren hoy nuevas teorías para descifrar eficazmente los procesos de urbanización como una condición estructurante de su práctica. Históricamente restringido a escalas discretas, en la actualidad el diseño urbano aspira a relacionarse con contextos territoriales mayores que extienden la ‘ciudad’ mucho más allá de su lugar tradicional. Pero hoy, ¿cuál es el contexto espacial en el que los diseñadores (arquitectos, paisajistas y urbanistas) debieran enfocar sus capacidades y técnicas? Si las interdependencias socio-ambientales de los procesos de urbanización actualmente entretejen progresivamente múltiples lugares, operaciones, territorios y paisajes dentro y fuera de las aglomeraciones urbanas, ¿no es necesario un marco teórico que apoye a los diseñadores en la difícil tarea de entender, mapear y dar forma a esta creciente complejidad de la condición urbana?
Por sus esfuerzos para hacer frente a estos desafíos, el Urban Theory Lab (UTL) de la Graduate School of Design de la Universidad de Harvard ha adquirido un dinamismo considerable desde que Neil Brenner lo fundara a principios de 2012. Como sostiene Brenner a lo largo de este volumen, el trabajo del UTL implica superar las divisiones conceptuales arrastradas históricamente (urbano/rural, sociedad/naturaleza) y las definiciones sobre los procesos de urbanización centrados en la ciudad que han dominado durante mucho tiempo las ciencias sociales y las disciplinas de diseño. Aquí, los procesos de urbanización no se entienden como la repetición universal de una forma espacial singular (‘la’ ciudad), sino como una creciente condición planetaria en la que las relaciones político-económicas y socio-ambientales están entrelazadas a través de procesos de transformación capitalista. Esta visión cambia el foco de las ciudades como unidades delimitadas, a las conexiones en constante evolución que existen entre las aglomeraciones urbanas y los extensos hinterlands –o ‘paisajes operacionales’– que les dan soporte. La investigación en curso del UTL explora las maneras mediante las cuales los procesos de urbanización contemporánea dependen de –y a su vez aceleran– una amplia gama de transformaciones socio-espaciales, infraestructurales y medioambientales de gran escala a través de estos paisajes operacionales alrededor del mundo.

Amunategui Valdés: mundo de fragmentos
Amunategui R., Cristóbal
2017
Santiago, Chile, Ediciones ARQ. 119 p.
Resumen: ‘Mundo de fragmentos’’ es la primera publicación de Amunátegui Valdés. Con una obra cuidadosa y correcta, los proyectos de la oficina conformada por los arquitectos chilenos Cristóbal Amunátegui y Alejandro Valdés no dejan de lado un comentario sobre la disciplina actual. Asumiendo la imposibilidad de las grandes verdades como un hecho, su trabajo se centra en la recuperación de la historia por medio del ensamblaje y composición de fragmentos. Esta actitud se verifica por medio de 13 proyectos: un hotel, un restaurante, cinco casas, dos tiendas, un edificio institucional, y tres montajes de exposiciones. Son proyectos pequeños, como si cada uno fuera un fragmento de una idea mayor. La monografía también incluye una sección llamada ‘correcciones’, en que cuatro oficinas internacionales intervienen (o corrigen) proyectos de Amunátegui Valdés, reafirmando la idea de que la arquitectura es producto del intercambio de ideas, tal como el que busca promover la serie Monografías ARQ.

Conocimiento del patrimonio arquitectónico en Valparaíso: estudio descriptivo para su puesta en valor
Muñoz del Campo, Marco Antonio
2013
Saarbrücken, Alemania, Alemania, Editorial Académica Española, 531 p.
Resumen:Cualquier estrategia relacionada con orientar la valoración y conservación de nuestro Patrimonio Arquitectónico no consiste únicamente en generar un conjunto de antecedentes que informen el quehacer en torno a los bienes para que perduren en el tiempo. Se trata además de sistematizar esa información, transformarla en conocimiento para ponerla al servicio de la sociedad, y así, orientar y llevar adelante una gestión con participación de todo el colectivo social, que le permita a la comunidad local, nacional e internacional hacer uso y goce de dichos bienes. Tenemos entonces a la sociedad preocupada de conservar el legado cultural arquitectónico que se manifiesta en edificios, conjuntos y paisajes urbanos, especialmente apreciados por constituir una manifestación material de sociedades más o menos antiguas. Pero si nos detenemos a observar cualquier ciudad, resulta que existen tantos edificios, lugares y paisajes antiguos, posibles de ser considerados patrimonio, que el objetivo primero, en el sentido de legar aquello que posee un valor cultural, puede desvirtuarse. ¿Cuáles, de esas manifestaciones, poseen realmente un valor patrimonial y podrían transformarse en un activo cultural?

Proyecto, obra y comunidad: arquitectura habitacional moderna en Santiago de Chile
Valencia Palacios, Marco
2016
Santiago de Chile, LOM Ediciones. 136 p.
Resumen: El presente libro reflexiona sobre la puesta en valor de la arquitectura habitacional de raigambre moderna en Chile. En particular, se pregunta por la vigencia y sustentabilidad de las grandes unidades vecinales construidas por las corporaciones de vivienda a mediados del siglo XX en Chile, al alero de la Corporación de la Vivienda y de las sociedades constructoras EMPART. Para abordar este universo de conjuntos desde una perspectiva transdisciplinaria, despliega una metodología historiográfica que considera la correlación entre tres dimensiones de análisis: proyecto, obra y comunidad. El texto correlaciona estas tres dimensiones para reconocer sus desfases y fisuras, de forma de abordar en profundidad las razones de la vigencia u obsolescencia de los conjuntos modernos en la actualidad. El caso de estudio es la Villa Presidente Frei, construida en 1965 por la CORVI, emplazada en la comuna de Ñuñoa, en el sector oriente del Gran Santiago, recientemente resguardada por el Estado bajo la declaración de Zona Típica, el año 2015.

Firenze, Italy, Firenze University Press. 510 p.
Resumen:Il volume offre numerosi spunti sul tema Permanenze e innovazioni nell'architettura del Mediterraneo, dimostrandone l'ampiezza di aspetti riconducibili alla Tecnologia dell'architettura, di cui si evidenzia la flessibilità dei confini disciplinari con riferimento ai diversi significati assumibili dal concetto di risorsa. Letta in continuità con le precedenti pubblicazioni Osdotta, questa consente di seguire quanto si va sviluppando nel terzo livello di formazione in un momento particolarmente critico per l'istituzione universitaria, continuando a porre l'accento sul nodo domanda/offerta di ricerca, nel confronto con altre istituzioni e con il mondo della produzione di settore, nell'attuale scenario dominato da trasformazioni sempre più rapide e incisive. La qualificazione dei corsi di dottorato, attraverso la riflessione sugli esiti immediati e a lungo termine, parallelamente alla precisazione dei contenuti identitari del settore disciplinare, restano le principali sfide da continuare ad affrontare.

Plastics in architecture and construction
Plastics in architecture and construction
Engelsmann, Stephan
Spalding, Valerie
Peters, Stefan
2010
Basel, Switzerland, Birkhauser. 176 p.
Resumen: Plastics are high-performance materials of wide use in the built environment. Their versatile technical properties are particularly fascinating. A broad range of form-giving and finishing processes makes plastic especially interesting for complex geometries in combination with digital planning processes. Following the pioneering plastic structures of the 1970s, a number of spectacular buildings have in recent years highlighted the outstanding technical and aesthetic potential of the material. Until now, however, there has been no systematic treatment of the use of plastic in architecture. This book seeks to fill that gap by providing an introduction to the structural and design possibilities of plastic. It introduces the material and its specific characteristics, describes various types of plastic in terms of their relevance for building, explains processing technologies and presents typical products and components. A concise presentation of twenty-five international built projects - organized by the type of application and the plastic involved - documents the broad range of plastic in architecture. Finally, a look ahead at the future describes the current state of the art in materials research.

Metamall
Metamall: espacio urbano y consumo en la ciudad neoliberal chilena
Simone, Liliana de
2015
Santiago de Chile, Ril Editores,Instituto de Estudios Urbanos y Territoriales, Facultad de Arquitectura, Diseño y Estudios Urbanos Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. 365 p.
Resumen: Los espacios de consumo masivo han cambiado la escala y la cualidad de la relación entre el comercio y la ciudad circundante, así como también el carácter de las relaciones interpersonales urbanas que en ellos se dan. ¿Cómo ocurrió tal naturalización en Chile? Comprender el espacio que tiene el mall en la ciudad, desde su dimensión tanto material como simbólica, obliga a un examen acucioso de sus antecedentes y cómo se presentan. Es así como los mall han cobrado un protagonismo en el mercado de suelos y ejercen un rol gravitante en el proceso de construcción social. Su implantación en la ciudad ha provocado numerosos debates y otros tantos conflictos. ¿Es posible, desde la planificación urbana y la arquitectura, superar los juicios morales que cubren el debate del mall, para proponer nuevas y mejores formas de convivencia entre los megacentros comerciales y las formas tradicionales de ciudad? El libro analiza los cambios en la relación entre centro comercial y desarrollo urbano en el Chile reciente, antes y después del mall, como también ensaya un tipo de interpretación que se domicilia en Chile, pero que a su vez dialoga con la realidad internacional. ¿Cuánto influye lo global en lo local, en lo que a la creación de un espacio urbano se refiere? La evolución del urbanismo comercial y sus consecuencias son analizadas en la obra a través de un ejercicio de arqueología comercial, con el objetivo de comprender las complejidades urbanas de las ciudades actuales.

Mi Nueva York
Mi Nueva York
Behan, Brendan
2012
Barcelona, Marbot. 183 p.
Resumen: «Ingenioso monólogo, el libro de Brendan Behan es un soliloquio tan emotivo como humorístico sobre la ciudad de Nueva York.» Enrique Vila-Matas, Babelia Brendan Behan deja bien clara desde el principio su parcialidad hacia el objeto de sus comentarios y divagaciones: «Nueva York es la mejor ciudad del mundo, por un lado y por el otro y por cualquier lado: de espalda, de cara y de perfil». Y sin embargo un examen más detallado de los diversos perfiles de la ciudad de sus sueños se convierte para Behan en una ocasión para reírse a propósito de prácticamente todo lo que ha visto o le han contado de ella: ya esté hablando de los taxistas o de los banqueros, de los irlandeses, los judíos o los camareros, del precio de los abrigos o de la calidad de la cerveza, Behan tiene siempre una anécdota propia o ajena para dar forma a su personalísimo recorrido por la ciudad, o para dar color a sus frecuentes escapadas a temas de la más rigurosa universalidad. ¡Disfruta del casino con dinero real Best Online Casino For Canadian Players y gana mucho dinero! Libro de viajes, monólogo humorístico o como se le quiera llamar, el libro de Behan es una aproximación literaria y poco convencional a una de las ciudades más fascinantes del mundo.
