The presented research focuses on the relationship between art and architecture. On the example of the muralDer Weg der Roten Fahne(The Path of the Red Flag) installed at the western façade of theKulturpalast Dresden(Palace of Culture in Dresden) the author analyses the necessity of the mural as an immanent element to communicate political decisions of theGerman Democratic Republic's government to the public by using architecture. Up until now the mural reinforces the political value of theInternational Stylebuilding in function and shape and links its volume to the urban layout.

Questo contributo individua le specificità Scuola di Architettura, Pianificazione e Paesaggio dell'Università di Newcastle. Caratterizzata da un corpo docente molto eterogeneo e da competenze in tutta la disciplina, la Scuola sostiene fortemente l'idea di un ruolo sociale dell'architettura. Ciò riflette, in parte, la cultura architettonica di Newcastle, radicata nell'ascesa e nella crisi di un grande porto industriale ai confini dell'Inghilterra. questa vocazione è emersa chiaramente nella generazione dei cosiddetti New Brutalists / Nuovi Brutalisti, chiamati a dare una forma e una sostanza alla politica del Welfare State. Come scuola di architettura orientata alla ricerca, l'APL intende il progetto come una sfida culturale collettiva che implica l'acquisizione e l'esercizio di conoscenze e competenze complesse, per le quali la realtà della pratica architettonica è un costante termine di riferimento. ; This article aims at tracking down some identity features of the School of Architecture, Planning & Landscape of Newcastle University. Characterised by a very heterogeneous teaching staff covering a broad breadth of expertise across the discipline, the School strongly supports the idea of a social role for architecture. Partly due to Newcastle's architectural culture - rooted as it is in the rise and fall of a great industrial port at the borders of England - this vocation emerged clearly in the generation of the so-called New Brutalists, called upon to give a form and substance to the politics of the Welfare State. As a research-led school of architecture, APL understands design as a collective cultural endeavour that involves the acquisition and exercise of complex knowledges and skills, for which the reality of architectural practice is a constant term of reference.

This interdisciplinary book explores design theories, combining research from a range of fields including architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, urban design, industrial design, software engineering, environmental psychology, geography, anthropology, and sociology. Following an extensive review of the current literature, the author reveals eight major types of theory in design processes. The theories are classified as follows: Rational vs. Empiricist Theories, Procedural vs. Substantive Theories, Normative vs. Positive Theories, Design Scopes, Designers vs. People, Form and Space Creation Paradigms, Efficient Tools and Sources in the Design Process, and Place vs. Non-Place Theories. The respective design theories are illustrated with diagrams, tables and figures, condensing the content of over 140 essential theoretical texts that address various aspects of design processes. Given its scope, the book will appeal to undergraduate and graduate students, and to researchers and practitioners in design, urban planning, urban design, architecture, art, etc.
