Tisztelt Hallgatóság!
<br />
<br />A mellékelt felhívás is mutatja, hogy a térképészetben (ismét) milyen fontos a grafikus tervezés :-)

Subject: [icacogvis] Pre-announcement of a PhD position on
design
<br />
<br />
Apologies for
cross-posting!
<br />
<br />
There are three fundamental issues about geographic space or the Earth's
surface: How it looks, how it works, and what it ought to be. In
terms
of how it looks, there are two laws governing geographic forms or
urban
structure: scaling law and Tobler's law. Scaling law is available
across
all scales ranging from the smallest to the largest, and it states
that
there are far more small things than large ones in geographic
space.
<br />
<br />
Tobler's law is available at one scale, and it states that more or
less
similar things tend to be nearby or related. The scaling law
implies
that geographic space is not neutral or lifeless, but a living
structure
involving numerous smallest, a very few largest, and some in between
the
smallest and largest [UTF-8?]â the notion of far more small things than
large
ones recurs multiple times. Geographic forms or urban structure (how
it
works) changes nonlinearly, and they are unpredictable essentially,
very
much like stock prices. In terms of what it ought to be, there are
two
design principles that help make better built environment or
re-make
sustainable cities: differentiation and adaptation, in line
respectively
with the scaling law and Tobler's
law.
<br />
<br />
We will soon start a new project namely ALEXANDER to address the
third
issue "what it ought to be" in terms of sustainable urban planning
and
design.

<br />
<br />
With this new project, we will soon announce a PhD position, working
on
the subject. Please kindly help diffuse the message among those
interested.

<br />
Thanks and
cheers.
