It unravels the dichotomous nature of planning as a subject that has to reconcile theoretical abstractions and real practice. The difficulty resides in the fact that building a theory requires some internal consistency whereas the problems of the real world are not necessarily so consistent. This is probably the reason that has led many scholars to hastily jump to the conclusion that history of planning is one of great planning failures. At first, planning was seen as part of architecture or the art of building cities. Planning was thus conceived mainly as a blue-print or design oriented process. This rational approach that has dominated the sixties and seventies has not been able to produce any sound results. Another approach, known as the procedural planning, has thus emerged to overcome the problems of its predecessor. It asserts that planning is not about design but policy. Planning theory today seems to be taking three main directions. The communicative or collaborative direction aiming at consensus building among different stakeholders, the new urbanism direction inspired by the traditional patterns of public space design, and the phronetic planning that attempts to take account of power/knowledge issues within society. The paper concludes that the theory of planning is mainly developed from western experiences and contexts of planning. It lacks any contribution drawn out from the planning experiences and contexts of oriental and less developed societies. This cultural bias must be overcome if a clearer picture of planning theory is hoped for Fri, 11 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://archives.univ-biskra.dz/handle/123456789/1216 2013-01-11T00:00:00Z http://archives.univ-biskra.dz/handle/123456789/1215 Titre: APPREHENDER L’ARCHITECTURE ET LA CONCEPTION ARCHITECTURALE Auteur(s): MALEK MÉROUANI Résumé: Knowing the architecture through his character a bit ambiguous, it could add a value and virtue. A virtue that simultaneously increase the level of a work of art draws its subjective meaning in the prime contractor, and the rank of a book from accuracies and scientific rationality. In fact when it comes to a single definition for Architecture we monumentally wrong because attempts to resolve this problem could never reach the level of consensus and unanimity far and neither have able to develop an interpretation that can unite the range of meanings related to the "Architecture". Besides an architect even unsophisticated, quickly realizes that architecture is multidisciplinary and therefore she escapes the despotic or absolute definition which, in reality, would render its interactive meaning and immolate it in several intrinsic values....

KACHA; N. MATSUMOTO; A. MANSOURI; A. CAVALCANTE Résumé: This study aims to explore visual complexity in streetscape composition using RMS contrast information and Fractal Analysis. The dataset was composed of 74 streetscape images, taken in Algeria and Japan in daytime and nighttime. The evaluation and analysis covered two phases: (1) Subjective quantification of perceived complexity using ranking method. (2) Visual complexity measurement based on RMS contrast statistics and fractal characteristics of the streetscape images. The results showed a positive correlation between the subjective ranking of complexity in streetscape images and the proposed measure of visual complexity “α” as well as with the fractal dimension Db.

CAS DU M’ZAB Auteur(s): MED CHERIF ADAD; M. TOUFIK MAZOUZ Résumé: In spite of the constraining conditions of the site, the mozabites always established their human settlements according to their cultural references, starting from dominant and directing elements, and the natural environment in which they live. All along their history, the human settlements of the Mzab always preserved their identity incarnated in their typology, the climate, the site and their social realities. Even the lately built ksour combine the thousand-year-old tradition with the requirements of the contemporary life. The architectural language, which underlies this production, did not know deep upheavals. The mozabites drew favors of their heritage. The ancestral tradition, which formerly governed the constitution of a very particular built field, would remain powerful. The article announces a thought on new ksour in a physically constrained context where the secular tradition, which formerly governed the constitution of a very particular built field, would remain powerful. Indeed, the local production of space, after having known discredit, has spectacularly taken again strength for one decade. Work consists in making a comparative study between the urban and architectural characteristics which underlie the implementation of the new districts and those of the old cores Fri, 11 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://archives.univ-biskra.dz/handle/123456789/1213 2013-01-11T00:00:00Z
