LAYERS
In a contemporary context, where practices around sustainability are the pillar that sustains the future development of humanity and the rest of the species that live with us, this essay is proposed with the aim of reflecting on the practices that make up the idea of sustainability from a non-linear perspective. A decalogue of independent propositions will be presented, which will include some key concepts of current theory and some historical references. The inscribed ideas will not only orbit around current forms of living but also a non-systematic review of other ideas that designers of past decades and past centuries developed within the same framework, that is, the idea of living in an organic and balanced way. Philosophy dominates the field of ideas as much as urbanism that of territories. We will propose that what is sustainable develops in three great vectors, which make up a holistic map, where the layers are different semantic fields that make up an interconnected three-dimensional concept. In the first place we have the territory, which is the seat of civilization, cities, the countryside, the oceans and the air. The mere concept of territory goes beyond the merely terrestrial and encompasses the biosphere as an entity.In second place we have the human condition. The species that we are is an amalgam of bodies that coexist on that map, with infinite human relationships, which are studied by social practices and their connectivity, where anthropology, sociology, psychology and other humanities converge. Third, we will take the economy, which is a key factor in relation to the other two, since it is the source from which transactions between individuals in a territory emanate. Within these sources we will include technology, commerce, leisure and productivity in general. Here are the ingredients for a retro-futuristic essay on sustainable ways of living and some associated mobility models.
RANKS
Today all universities around the world and their associated fields, where they are located, are susceptible to being analyzed by research groups, which develop qualitative and quantitative studies on the quality of these campuses and comparative surveys where some prevail over others. Higher education is a market, and rankings are quality maps. The organisms studied by universities include different formulas that give value to the different layers that make up each university. The quality of education, historical prestige, environmental quality, and the prestige granted by having researchers who publish in the most prestigious international journals are included. Each university is a conglomerate, where the students, the professors and the organization chart of managers form the human capital, and work in buildings that in turn are located on the campuses, which are like micro cities, where the spatial qualities not only of the buildings, but the spaces between them make up the environmental quality. The study that we develop studies the joint case of the NTNU in the city of Trondheim, which has a historic campus and a peripheral campus from the sixties. The subject on which we carry out the research refers to the quality and ranking of the campuses in general, the factors that mark the quality of one or the other and the idea of the future evolution of these brands, which are based on factors variables, where there are some historical factors in relation to the spatial and the symbolic that seem to grant more scores in the aforementioned rankings.
