Hardback. Condition: New. Many people are not familiar with it, and yet Kumbh Mela is the largest celebration on earth: depending on the zodiacal positions of Jupiter, the sun, and the moon, Hindus travel to certain places along holy rivers, the Ganges for example, for the purpose of bathing and cleansing themselves of sin. In 1989 fifteen million people are said to have attended, in 2001 around thirty million, and in 2013 approximately thirty-four million. In order to transport, house, and feed these enormous crowds of people, functioning temporary structures are required, which in each case are created by the communities hosting the gathering. In 2013, a team from Harvard University monitored the large-scale event from its preparation to the actual celebration itself. The fascinating prototypes for flexible urban planning were investigated and documented, and the organizers received advice in issues around environmental protection. The volume presents the comprehensive research findings and includes city maps, aerial images, and photographs-for instance a spectacular photo series by Iwan Baan.

Brossura. Condition: new. Trento, 2023; br., pp. 412, ill., cm 16x23.(Babel Theory). La scala e le modalità di urbanizzazione oggi mettono in dubbio la condizione di permanenza come condizione predefinita per le città e l'ambiente urbano. Allo stesso tempo, temi di ricerca e progetto come l'informalità sono diventati controproducenti, poiché in realtà aspirano a suggerire ancora forme di permanenza, per quanto diverse da quelle che già conosciamo. Ma la permanenza, quale caratteristica fondamentale del fatto urbano, conta davvero? Per gli oltre 700 milioni di persone rappresentate nella ricerca alla base di questo libro, la permanenza è un lusso, se non un qualcosa di superfluo. Non è conveniente e non influisce realmente sulla loro esistenza quotidiana. Questo pone nuove ed inusitate questioni per la disciplina dell'architettura e del progetto urbano. Alla luce di ciò e di tutte le altre questioni connesse, questo libro, oggi alla seconda edizione, offre un insolito atlante di quelle pratiche che creano urbanità senza preoccuparsi del problema della permanenza. Libro.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. The volume presents the comprehensive research findings and includes city maps, aerial images, analytical drawings and photographs of this spectacular Ephemeral Mega City for the Kumbh Mela. Kumbh Mela is the largest religious celebration on earth and the biggest public gathering in the world. The resulting settlement is a virtual mega city! The Kumbh Mela deploys its own roads, pontoon bridges as well as tents serving as residences and venues for spiritual meetings, and social infrastructure such as hospitals, sanitation outlets and vaccination clinicsall replicating the functions of an actual city. The pop-up settlement seamlessly serves up to seven million people who gather for 55 days and an additional flux of 10 to 20 million people who come for 24-hour cycles on the six main bathing dates. In 2013, a team from Harvard University, representing faculty from multiple disciplines, researched the large-scale event from its preparation to the actual celebration itself. This was the first systematic study on the Mela as a City: a planned entity and covers issues of social inclusion, diversity, and even democracy that emerge under the framework of a neutralizing grid of roads that is the organizing armature of the city. This subdivision of the city forms clusters of freedom and facilitates space for individual and group expression. (jacket).
