Casa MCMC: Buenos Aires, Argentina
2010
In a low-rise residential neighborhood on a small site, this house stands surrounded by walls and is oriented towards the idea of reclaiming public space. Ar...
Humanity in Times of Crisis
2014
The belief in a politics of humanity, even in times of crisis, can be argued to serve as the basis of Hannah Arendt’s political thought. By presupposing freedom as a human condition, Arendt’s account of the political addresses what she takes to be humans’ capability to begin something anew, which involves new-born children as well critique of the society. Also, one way in which Arendt may be read, is by holding that the politics of humanity is, fundamentally speaking, grounded in new-born’s embodiment. Although Arendt rejects a direct link between the body and the political respectively, it still seems as if her account of humanity and dignity should be interpreted as depending on the ontol…
THE COSMOPOLITANISM OF COMMUNITIES: PUBLIC SPACE AS A GENERATOR OF EQUALITY AND DEMOCRACY
2021
The era in which we live, that of the networked society, of the society of knowledge, of globalization, the era in which everyone is connected to each other by annihilating geographical distances thanks to the dematerialization allowed by virtual processes, is the era in which the intensification of flows in every direction contrasts with the materialisation of borders and barriers, the proliferation of inequalities, social conflicts and personal hardship. The social separation corresponds, therefore, to a spatial separation, which creates stigmatized neighbourhoods, concentrations of problems in specific areas such as, among all, the suburbs and some areas of the historic centres. Then one…
Waterfront and Transformation in Contexts of Conflict
2016
This chapter defines in what way the seaside and the waterfront can be place of conflicts among infrastructures, production, unplanned urbanisation, bathing tourism and many other activities. The last section of the chapter describes synthetically the study case of Saint-Nazare Submarine base and the terms of regeneration of a typically place of conflict, like a military area connected with the waterfront. The transformations underway in the waterfront areas present a variety of complex settlement dynamics that are ascribable to the infrastructural and productive nature of many activities, such as unplanned urbanisation, the pressures of bathing tourism and mass tourism, and the system of s…
phi-Best proximity point theorems and applications to variational inequality problems
2017
The main concern of this study is to introduce the notion of $$\varphi $$ -best proximity points and establish the existence and uniqueness of $$\varphi $$ -best proximity point for non-self mappings satisfying $$(F,\varphi )$$ -proximal and $$(F,\varphi )$$ -weak proximal contraction conditions in the context of complete metric spaces. Some examples are supplied to support the usability of our results. As applications of the obtained results, some new best proximity point results in partial metric spaces are presented. Furthermore, sufficient conditions to ensure the existence of a unique solution for a variational inequality problem are also discussed.
Hardy inequalities and Assouad dimensions
2017
We establish both sufficient and necessary conditions for weighted Hardy inequalities in metric spaces in terms of Assouad (co)dimensions. Our sufficient conditions in the case where the complement is thin are new even in Euclidean spaces, while in the case of a thick complement we give new formulations for previously known sufficient conditions which reveal a natural duality between these two cases. Our necessary conditions are rather straight-forward generalizations from the unweighted case, but together with some examples they indicate the essential sharpness of our results. In addition, we consider the mixed case where the complement may contain both thick and thin parts.
Common fixed points of mappings satisfying implicit relations in partial metric spaces
2013
Matthews, [S. G. Matthews, Partial metric topology, in: Proc. 8th Summer Conference on General Topology and Applications, in: Ann. New York Acad. Sci., vol. 728, 1994, pp. 183-197], introduced and studied the concept of partial metric space, as a part of the study of denotational semantics of dataflow networks. He also obtained a Banach type fixed point theorem on complete partial metric spaces. Very recently Berinde and Vetro, [V. Berinde, F. Vetro, Common fixed points of mappings satisfying implicit contractive conditions, Fixed Point Theory and Applications 2012, 2012:105], discussed, in the setting of metric and ordered metric spaces, coincidence point and common fixed point theorems fo…
Fixed points for Geraghty-Contractions in partial metric spaces
2015
We establish some fixed point theorems for mappings satisfying Geraghty-type contractive conditions in the setting of partial metric spaces and ordered partial metric spaces. Presented theorems extend and generalize many existing results in the literature. Examples are given showing that these results are proper extensions of the existing ones. c ©2014 All rights reserved.
Some coincidence and periodic points results in a metric space endowed with a graph and applications
2015
The purpose of this paper is to obtain some coincidence and periodic points results for generalized $F$-type contractions in a metric space endowed with a graph. Some examples are given to illustrate the new theory. Then, we apply our results to establishing the existence of solution for a certain type of nonlinear integral equation.
Local multifractal analysis in metric spaces
2013
We study the local dimensions and local multifractal properties of measures on doubling metric spaces. Our aim is twofold. On one hand, we show that there are plenty of multifractal type measures in all metric spaces which satisfy only mild regularity conditions. On the other hand, we consider a local spectrum that can be used to gain finer information on the local behaviour of measures than its global counterpart.
