Sunshine in the city, I am wearing red today. White sneakers. Very sporty. Luuk and I won the cycle battle 'Who is first at school'? Big smile of a six year old boy. Energy!
The notes, I continue.( for details about the book etc, see previous blog)
7. Valckenier Kips pleaded for a city plan, organised according the system of three angles ( threecorners?, driehoek)......... The engineer had to design the city neighbourhoods and the roads. The architect had to embellish this plan. The car and bicycle were not present. The idea was to introduce the electric tram and the railway, connecting spatial, regularly and hygienic dwellings for the worker and his family.......110
110. Valckenier Kips, 1894, 292
( in an earlier note, the Valckenier Kips references, refer to a set of articles in a newspaper)
Intermezzo. In the newspaper of yesterday, the 3rd of May 2015, NRC, an article about Rijkswaterstaat ( National Waternation, the most powerful organistaion in NL in the field of space)
Headline: Hoe ga je hier niet failliet aan! (How can one not go bankrupt on this!)
2015 The big building compagnies in NL versus Rijkswaterstaat. Three points of complain: the projects are too big, the projects are too risky, the cooperation doesn't go smoothly.
Daily context: FIFA! FBI , the 'corruptness' of Sepp Blatter and his rise ( three days ago) and fall ( yesterday)
Where is Valckenier Kips now? Why did he die? He should have been kept alive to live this day!( a
little ironic now, he had quite an biography in the 20st century)
I don't even know who is the topdog engineer of NL? The minister of Traffic is Mrs. Melany Schulz
......, was there a minister of Traffic in 1894 ?
Is this all a coincidence, now? So much to do, as an historian. Who else finds this interesting? Become an historian! If I can do it, why not you?
Back to the notes........
8. ....in 1908, the modern means of traffic, bicycle and tram, were much more prominent
9. It is not that surprising that there were critical sounds about the not presentness of talent and skills among architects and engineers to accomplish a plan, according to the new laws and technical and esthetical regulations.
10. In the handbook 'Town planning in practice', 1909, Raymond Unwin advices to collect as much
information as possible about the local happenings. 123
123. Voor een opsomming van die kennis: Fockema Andreae, 1912, 37-38
11. The urban designer/urbanist/urban planner (stedenbouwkundige) designs the traffic structure ( streets, corridors, canals, squares/plazas) and the 'dressing' of the city: the care for the appearence of the built environment (zoning, buildinglaw, heritage, regulations for advertising), streetgardening, small parks, large parks, connecting parks, works of art, streetfurniture. 125
125 Fockema Andreae, 1912, 66-67
12. .....modern urban thinking and designing gained influence between 1900 and 1945 in the big cities of Europe
13. Pastoral think patterns were introduced in the big cities, at least in some European countries.
14. This new person, ( l'homme moyen) lived in a new city or in a renewed historical city, representing the top of Creation: a concentrationnof culture and conditioned nature
15........ of facial importance.......
The Slow notes.
Now. Humen are seen as:
1. Social animal ( biologists, animal ecologist, scepticists)
2. As highest creature of The Creation ( Christianity)', 'believers'
3. A container full of emotions, the 'public' which is about almost everybody, except an elite
4. Greedy, obese, a worm never enough ( rupsje nooit genoeg)
5. a creative being ( Playing humen, Huizinga, Dutch historian)
Etc
Etc
Etc.
City
Now, contemporary themes are, at least in Europe
The livable city
The green city / sustainable city
The science city / the city of talent
The world city/ metropole
City of talent
European city of culture ( a yearly phenomenon)
The Olympic city
What I read on the pages of the book 'Space for a new time' ( 1900-1940) is:
The esthetical city , de fraaie stad
The hygienic city
The civil engineered city
The city of knowledge
The social city
The peaceful city
The properous city
The international city/ world city
The cultural city
