( ; en anglais : ) est la capitale de l'État du Victoria, en Australie. Deuxième agglomération urbaine du pays après Sydney, le (Greater Melbourne) compte au recensement officiel de 2020. La ville est située sur la baie de Port Phillip, laquelle ouvre sur le détroit de Bass. Ses habitants sont les Melbourniens (Melburnians en anglais). Melbourne est un important centre commercial, industriel et culturel. La ville est souvent qualifiée de capitale « sportive et culturelle » de l'Australie, car elle abrite de nombreuses manifestations et institutions culturelles et sportives parmi les plus importantes du pays. Elle a été classée, avec six points, ville mondiale gamma (ou mineure) au classement de 1998 de l'université de Loughborough, puis alpha- dans les classements de 2000, 2004, 2008, 2010 et 2012. Melbourne est connue pour son mélange d'architecture de l'époque victorienne et d'architecture contemporaine, son vaste réseau de tramways, ses parcs et jardins victoriens, ainsi que

Le forum de la Riponne. Une résolution par la lecture des flux piétons (Lausanne, VD)

Svend Reymond

Au début du XIXe siècle, Lausanne choisit de construire son interface commerciale entre ville et campagne par le comblement de la Louve en dehors de ses remparts. Alors qu'au tournant du siècle, la ville a de nouvelles ambitions culturelles et touristiques, elle choisit de subordonner cette nouvelle place à un bâtiment monumental abritant université et musée. En 1933, la destruction de la grenette d'HENRY FRAISSE, seul bâtiment ayant fait de la place de la Riponne un forum au sens large, réduit définitivement le lieu d'échange en un désert. L'échec du siècle passé a donné naissance à un bâtiment administratif rationaliste en 1961 et à un parking souterrain en 1972 qui finissent de bloquer les flux piétons par une rupture de niveau au Nord et à l'Ouest de la place. Je propose dans ce travail de remodeler la place. Premièrement par un comblement programmatique et volumique du niveau bas, afin de recréer un lien fort avec la rue du Tunnel et de réinterpréter le socle monumental du palais de Rumine. Deuxièmement en érodant le volume par des flux piétons potentiels et existant, de manière à dynamiser l'ensemble de la place et à créer les espaces auxquels la place de la Riponne a toujours aspiré: un forum culturel et commercial. La méthode de travail est une expérimentation des théories faites lors de mon énoncé théorique: “approche par l'algorithme du projet d'architecture”.

Is conventional knowledge enough? Playing the devil's advocate in the adoption of digital fabrication technology

Sofia Colabella, Paolo Tombesi

Building on the research on the industrial potential of digital fabrication technologies commenced by the late University of Melbourne academic, Professor Bharat Dave, this paper explores actual patterns of technological adoption within communities of practice bound together in a few selected projects. Its main aim is three-fold: 1) highlight the distribution of knowledge required for the actual takeup of digital technologies; 2) look for the presence of possible gaps in such work landscapes; and 3) discuss the transformations that may occur in practice as a result of the conflation of innovative technologies and established professional cultures. The research being reported in this paper examines the socio-technical environment of the projects selected and the challenges intrinsic to the introduction of innovative digital technologies. Its findings suggest that the inherent complexity of building production needs to be considered in a far more nuanced and substantive manner than generally assumed by mainstream technological positivism.

Association of neighbourhood disadvantage and individual socioeconomic position with all-cause mortality: a longitudinal multicohort analysis

Idris Guessous, Stéphane Joost

Background Few studies have examined the interactions between individual socioeconomic position and neighbourhood deprivation and the findings so far are heterogeneous. Using a large sample of diverse cohorts, we investigated the interaction effect of neighbourhood socioeconomic deprivation and individual socioeconomic position, assessed using education, on mortality. Methods We did a longitudinal multicohort analysis that included six cohort studies participating in the European LIFEPATH consortium: the CoLaus (Lausanne, Switzerland), E3N (France), EPIC-Turin (Turin, Italy), EPIPorto (Porto, Portugal), Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study (Melbourne, VIC, Australia), and Whitehall II (London, UK) cohorts. All participants with data on mortality, educational attainment, and neighbourhood deprivation were included in the present study. The data sources were the databases of each cohort study. Poisson regression was used to estimate the mortality rates and associations (relative risk, 95% CIs) with neighbourhood deprivation (Q1 being least deprived to Q5 being the most deprived). Baseline educational attainment was used as an indicator of individual socioeconomic position. Estimates were combined using pooled analysis and the relative excess risk due to the interaction was computed to identify additive interactions. Findings The cohorts comprised a total population of 168 801 individuals. The recruitment dates were 2003-06 for CoLaus, 1989-91 for E3N, 1992-98 for EPIC-Turin, 1999-2003 for EPIPorto, 1990-94 for MCCS, and 1991-94 for Whitehall II. We use baseline data only and mortality data obtained using record linkage. Age-adjusted mortality rates were higher among participants residing in more deprived neighbourhoods than those in the least deprived neighbourhoods (Q1 least deprived neighbourhoods, 369.7 per 100 000 person-years [95% CI 356.4-383.2] vs Q5-most deprived neighbourhoods 445.7 per 100 000 person-years [430.2-461.7]), but the magnitude of the association varied according to educational attainment (relative excess risk due to interaction=0.18, 95% CI 0.08-0.28). The relative risk for Q5 versus Q1 was 1.31 (1.23-1.40) among individuals with primary education or less, but less pronounced among those with secondary education (1.12; 1.04-1.21) and tertiary education (1.16; 1.07-1.27). Associations remained after adjustment for individual-level factors, such as smoking, physical activity, and alcohol intake, among others. Interpretation Our study suggests that the detrimental health effect of living in disadvantaged neighbourhoods is more pronounced among individuals with low education attainment, amplifying social inequalities in health. This finding is relevant to policies aimed at reducing health inequalities, suggesting that these issues should be addressed at both the individual level and the community level.
