Full textAbstract:
This research aims to explore research directions in interior architecture in the higher education in Thailand within the past two decades (1997-2016). This research is a part of the quinquennial curriculum renewal process of the master degree of interior architecture programme, Department of Interior Architecture, King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL). The systematic literature review was conducted to track back on theses in interior architecture in the higher education in Thailand. The query focused on master degree theses published from 1997 to 2016 within ThaiLIS-Thai Library Integrated System (TTLIS) in which research, theses, and dissertations of all universities in Thailand were systematically collected. The keyword ‘interior architecture’ was used to search for thesis documents in TTLIS with specifically refined results on master degree theses in all universities in Thailand. One hundred and ninety-six theses were found in the search. This research comprises two stages. In the first stage, all one hundred and ninety-six theses were systematically reviewed and categorized into different types of research. It was found that there was no predictive research type and no novel theoretical framework generated among studied theses. In second stage, semi-structure interview was adopted to explore details of participants’ experiences of doing their theses; inspirations, background ideas, supports, and obstacles. A lack of generating new theoretical frameworks in interior architecture in the higher education in Thailand has weaken the progression of research in this discipline. Developing a novel theoretical framework in interior architecture in the higher education in Thailand is recommended.

<p><em>Julio Cano’s house-office in La Florida is studied in this text as a clear realization of a conception of the domestic phenomenon as a threshold that sequentially articulates the transit between public and private space. It also serves to illustrate the character of limit that architecture has as a discipline and as a mechanism of spatial production. Julio Cano Lasso’s design tactic used in this building is based on the establishment of rites of passage and the limits of dialectics that link to the history of domestic architecture ranging from the traditional Japanese house to Wright’s Usonian houses. The exemplary character of the building resides in a lay out that shows quite literally a stratification which acts as a regulator of the relationship between the exterior and the interior of the house. This condition, simultaneously, subtly modulates both the degree of privacy of each room and the conditions of permeability among them.</em></p>

The presence of time holds an important position in interior architectural practice and education. On theother hand, the presence of time challenges the stability and steadiness that framed the discipline. Furthermore, in interior architectural practice it is usually seen as a threat that should be either eliminatedor restricted. Rather than establishing defense mechanism against it, this paper argues that interiorarchitectural practice should be able to progress with time. By looking through undergraduate designstudio projects in Interior Architecture Program, Department of Architecture, Universitas Indonesia, this paper aims to addressed how the presence of time might affect, transform and even generate context specific interior architectural design methods that enables several dynamic forms of inhabitation. The out come of this study provides the opportunity for interior discipline to switch its focus, from the discipline that focuses on the aesthetic and constructional aspects, to the one that embraces the temporal aspectsof sociocultural conditions to enhance the wellbeing of its inhabitant.

Title: Understanding Interior as a Connector
Interior design is a discipline that is very close to the complexities and the needs of human life. However, the intepretation and practice of interior design are often limited to decoration and contents within the physical boundaries of architecture. This paper aims to provide another perspective regarding the concept of interior that is, as a significant connector between humans and their living environment along with architecture, so that the methods and practice of interior design as well as architecture may expand more than what has been observed today. The paper is a result of a qualitative research through literature review and exploration of case studies. Results conclude to several interior and architectural design techniques based on the perception of interior as a ?connector? that could be used, such as the blurring of physical boundaries, programmatic manipulation, innovation of material continuity and configuration of architectural elements into interior elements. Through the physical as well as conceptual manipulation of space, the intepretation of interior design would no longer be limited to the contents within the physical boundaries of architecture but rather a truly important connector along with architecture, between humans and their living environment.

In this study, the project studio, which is the foundation of interior design education, has been designed using the metaphor method, one of the intellectual methods applied in education. The metaphor method is a technique used to make difficult-to-understand abstract concepts concrete and helps design students develop their critical thinking and creative skills. In this case, design, which is the verbalized form of abstract thought, is limited to an object and the responsibilities brought by this object. From this point of view, an experimental study of metaphorical methods for establishing spatial relations of objects was carried out in a 14-week design studio with the 2nd year students of the Department of Interior Architecture, Faculty of Architecture and Design, Selcuk University. The purpose of the studio work is to draw the boundaries of interior architecture students in their search for solutions to design problems, and to enable them to come up with creative designs while making functional and formal decisions. In this context, a metaphorical approach was used in the context of object-space relations to guide students’ formal decisions in the functional solutions of the problems that arise in the interior design process. After working in the studio, the students have developed a working doctrine that will guide their interior design studio projects using the designed method, allow them to create unique forms and shapes, enable them to translate abstract ideas into concrete space and make it possible for them to design at various scales, from equipment to space design. The method is at a level that will set an example for students, designers and academicians working in the design discipline.

“Journal of Interior Design and Academy" (INda), which started its publication life on May 19, 2021, within the scope of Octagon Academy, is experiencing excitement and happiness together thanks to publishing its first issue. Scientific resources, researches and studies have accelerated and started to spread with technology. The place and importance of scientific journals in the presentation and spread of studies, especially in academic working life, is very big. Today, it is possible to reach most of the scientific articles in the world through scientific journals published online. It is estimated that there are approximately 24 thousand scientific journals in the world and between 2.2-2.5 million scientific articles are produced. Unfortunately, this rate is very low in Turkey and the number of indexed journals based on the faculty of architecture and design is very low. In the field of interior architecture, the number of indexed journals specific to the discipline of interior architecture is not sufficient. The Journal of Interior Design and Academy (INda) has decided to start its publication life for exactly these reasons. The journal that has just started its publication life; has emerged with the aim of making versatile contributions to our country, universities, interior architecture field and related disciplines and professionals working in this field in terms of production and sharing of scientific knowledge in the context of its goals, duties and responsibilities. The discipline of interior architecture can continue to work in relation to different disciplines such as architecture, industrial product design, planning, landscape architecture. The coming together and working together of these disciplines on different platforms supports holistic design approach. For the coexistence of these disciplines, there is a need for a common language and more collaborative work. In this context, it has emerged that the publication of this journal is a basic need in order to create a scientific platform for the understanding of Interior Architecture and related disciplines, sharing information and collaborating. I hope that with the first issue of our journal, which started its publication life in Turkish and English with two issues a year, it will be useful to the interior architecture and design disciplines in the future in terms of achieving goals that can be recognized on an international scale, producing information and providing information sharing widely.

Full textAbstract:
Architecture as a discipline has gone through a serious change since the post-war period and became a recognized profession focusing on human needs in the physical environments. The issue of educating new practitioners for the transforming field has turned out to be the subject of a lively debate for the last 10-20 years. The current position and approach in design studios of Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design of Bahçeşehir University, were thought to be worth putting forth and sharing with the design community to initiate a discussion for the future of the discipline in general. Consequently, this study was structured to present a paradigm in Interior Architecture Education by focusing on the case of Bahçeşehir University (BAU) Interior Architecture and Environmental Design Department design studio education. The four-year program consisting of eight academic semesters, is addressing the combination of two methods; namely, horizontally organized design studios (HODS), and vertically organized studio groups (VODS). Currently, this approach is subject to many discussions within the department due to many aspects. This approach was tested, evaluated and criticized through student and instructor comments collected via questionnaires. Results were collected and interpreted through three main issues of learning, teaching and assessment. Study moving from general design studio education to the case of Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design of Bahçeşehir University, concludes with general comments, mentioning the lack of literature on design studio education, and the significance of sharing different approaches and applications. Lastly and specifically, the revisions following the completion of the experiment in the department was put forth. With reference to the case of BAU, initiating a discussion regarding current design studio education was intended.

Nowadays, we are in a period of rapid changes that affect the theory and practice of interior architecture education, as in all other fields. Especially, in terms of the actors that form the basis of professional training, a more visible transformation is exhibited in the dimensions of education programs, design approaches, and transfer process with the effects of changing social dynamics. For this reason, it is important to discuss the versatility of education on an academic platform in interior architecture, as it is in all design-oriented disciplines. The "International Congress of Interior Architecture Education" (ICMEK), the first of which was held in 2007 at Istanbul Technical University, was later held in 2012, 2015, and 2017, hosted by the Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design of Istanbul Kultur University has contributed to the discipline as a national platform with the extent of participation and bringing together scientists who think and research on interior architecture education. The congress, which plays a role in the development of interior architecture education with different themes, was held in 2022 as an international scientific event. Organized in partnership with Istanbul Kültür University and Karadeniz Technical University, the "5th ICMEK International Congress of Interior Architecture Education" tried to shed light on new dynamics and future projections in interior architecture education at an international level. In this sense, the theme of the 5th ICMEK, which aims to discuss interior architecture education and present various suggestions for its future, has been determined as "rethinking". Researchers involved in interior architecture education or practice were invited to question the past and the present, think about the future, and produce within the framework of theory-practice-history, teacher-learner, undergraduate-graduate, formal-informal, curriculum-process, face-to-face-online, physical infrastructure-technological infrastructure, interdisciplinary interaction-continuous professional education, digitalization, ethics and many more, through the congress. In the congress, which was held online on 16-17 June 2022, in addition to twenty-one paper presentations, four guest speakers who are the leading names in the field from abroad,

Communication is defined as the flow of information in its simplest form. Utilizing the indicators and referring to another situation with the help of these indicators while providing its flow is a result-oriented study discipline. This discipline is defined with the name of Semiology and it is a field of science based on meaning. Semiotics, shaped by behavior patterns "coded" by a particular society, it is associated with the process of interpretation. The fact that codes come together and form a whole of meaning unity and cause influence on different fields such as literature, advertising, cinema, caricature, painting and architecture. Hence, semiotics, which forms a message to be transmitted to the other party, possesses an extensive field of study. The meaning, interpretation and association of these messages with different factors fall within the scope of this discipline. Especially in order to comprehend that architecture is a communication tool, the physical factors and the approaches of the society producing these approaches should be reviewed together. This highlights the place of interior design in semiotics. In this study, interior design is evaluated within the scope of semiotics and a place reading is performed.

Full textAbstract:
This paper discusses the possibility of adopting the study of archaeology as known in cultural theory to redesign the obsolete interior architecture element. The archaeological discipline might offer a possibility to understand the interior element thoroughly through emphasizing the specific material characteristics and their correlation to the different periodical lifetimes of the context. The idea of the archaeology of an interior introduces well-recorded analysis and material experimentation in the physical translation of interior elements. The design process is mainly conducted by emphasizing the notion of "after use" and imagining the object's future to tackle the issue of the obsolete interior. This study becomes an essential basis for understanding the role of an interior architect in responding to the subject of the decayed interior from the other point of view by taking a personal stand for "use" and "after use" beyond the conventional idea of functional space. In the case study, this paper examined the idea of repurposing obsolete stairs as an archetype element through the physical and poetic approach of the object by taking one of the projects in Master interior architecture studio in Rotterdam. This practice aims to augment the material and generate the essential foundation for a design practice that could sensitively respond to the personal stand on the spatial design process.

Full textAbstract:
The question of the cultural and physical articulation of interior and exterior is far from recent. If modern Western philosophy had identified time with interiority and the spirit, leaving space in a secondary position as the realm of mutability and imperfection, almost two hundred years later this dichotomy continues to evolve. Still, as Sloterdijk recalls, we are immersed in the ‘World Interior of Capital’, which emerges as a hypertrophic system of immunity against the erratic and unreliable exterior.
With regard to architecture, this division between interior and exterior has run parallel to the relation between public and private, city and home, façade and interior architecture. However during and after the so-called spatial turn, architecture as a discipline has experienced how one of its main and almost exclusive instruments has become a transversal element shared and studied from diverse fields and perspectives. Thus, a worth exploring theoretical gap is open within the critical relation between space and architecture, and more specifically within the cultural and spatial readings of the inside and the outside.
This research paper aims at exploring the contemporary understanding of the leftover, which forms the counterpart to hegemonic spatiality, in order to suggest a transfer from the formal dichotomy interior/exterior to a multidimensional comprehension of space, following the philosophical notion of negativity. This contemporary fascination with leftovers is manifest in the work of several authors and artists, such as Slavoj Žižek’s interest in Gould and Lewontin’s ‘spandrels’, the Chapuisat Brothers’ Intra Muros, or Gregor Schneider’s Haus u r. However, these reflections also appeared almost forty years ago when the architect Steven Peterson coined the term ‘negative space’ to designate the hybrid realm in between geometrical constraints and the neutral transparency of modern space. This unmapped, but suggestive lineage suggest a transfer from the formal dichotomy interior/exterior to a multidimensional comprehension of space.

Design studios are at the core of architecture, interior architecture, or design education. Different design problems are experienced and solved in these studios every term or year. The last step of the design studios is the graduation/degree project, which is characteristic of a threshold between education and profession. The scope of the study is to examine the graduation/degree projects’ approaches of the schools that are providing interior architecture education in Turkey and to evaluate their project outputs. Thus, quantitative analyses and qualitative evaluations have been made on the documents of the MEKAN/İç Mimarlık Öğrencileri Ulusal Bitirme Projeleri Yarışması (Interior Design Students National Graduation Projects Competition), which are served as an important archive. In this respect, within the scope of the study, an inventory has been tried to be put forward by evaluating the competition processes through the participant projects between 2012-2021. Firstly, an analysis has been made on the numerical distribution of all the participant projects according to the years and the diversity of the participating schools. Then, more detailed analyses have been carried out on the award-winning projects by narrowing the sample group. In addition, developments in the matters of the perspectives of different schools on design problems, their proposals for solutions, their design representations, etc. have been brought to light. As researchers and educators, it has been tried to open a way for how interior architecture education to reconstruct itself in the future, by rethinking the education itself.

This research will inspect factors with higher impact that are predicted to be more influential in the relation between architecture, interior architectural design and the psychological status of residents and users. The level of awareness about the importance of this relation is the basic introductory factor. Identity, privacy and safety impacts, health concerns, accessibility degree, open spaces feature, aesthetic sense are the main parts of the research. Most parts consist of two divisions. The first identifies the nature of each factor. The second recognizes the important architectural consideration needed to realize the psychological condition of residents and users. The research aims to increase the concern about the importance of the interaction between interior architectural design and human psychological behavior. An introduction of a group of important consideration can be used to help designers choose and apply a suitable interior architectural design that match psychological needs through sound relations between architecture, interior architecture and the psychological status of residents and users.

Writing is one of the main communication tools that has been widely used since the Sumerian civilization discovered it. While it had a symbolic attitude in its form in the first periods of its discovery, it was simplified over time and brought to the basic form we use today. With the discipline of typography, which allows us to use writing, which is one of the main constituent of visual communication and graphic design, both aesthetically and functionally, graphic designers visualize writing in variety of different forms, traditional and contemporary. Today, visual communication is one of the most important concepts encountered in every aspect of human life. People are now trying to meet their communication needs faster by looking and seeing instead of reading. In this study, rather than recording the verbal language, which is the main function of writing, it is explained by giving examples how writing is used as an imaginary language of expression in different art and design disciplines, especially in the graphic design discipline. In this direction, the typographic image style is defined in the study and the concept of typographic image is explained by giving examples in the disciplines of sculpture, architecture, interior architecture, textile and fashion design, and industrial design, especially in the discipline of graphic design.

En la Teoría de los Campos de Bourdieu el diseño se "entromete" en términos de transformación y reconfiguración de ese campo, donde su emergencia no implica, necesariamente, la destrucción de las premisas disciplinares; más bien, la nueva disciplina emerge como un proceso inherente a la deconstrucción revolucionaria de la aparición de nuevas y novedosas formas, mecanismos, configuraciones y estructuras mismas, analizando, revisando y reinterpretando el fondo.

AbstractThe discursive search for the institutionalization of interior design leads us to analyze the field of habitat in which architecture has become the guiding discipline. Interior design appears as a kind of entropy. In Bourdieu's Field Theory, design "intrudes" in terms of transformation and reconfiguration of that field, where its emergence does not necessarily imply the destruction of disciplinary premises. Rather, the new discipline emerges as a process inherent to the revolutionary deconstruction of the appearance of new and novel forms, mechanisms, configurations and structures themselves, analyzing, revising and reinterpreting the background.
Keywords: Bourdieu Fields theory, habitus, nomos, metaphor, game, specificities, academic preparation.

Changes in the supply-demand relationship depending on eating and drinking, one of the basic needs of human beings, have also induced some transformations in the spatial formation of cafes operating in the food sector. Therefore, it is critical to ensure spatial quality by considering the functional, aesthetic and psychological conditions in the formation of cafe interiors. In this study, which was discussed to contribute to the design approach by supporting the theoretical and practical unity in the discipline of interior architecture, the changes and innovations that the franchising system contributed to the interior design understanding of cafes were analysed. Besides the determination of the components in the interior design for cafes, the study also aims to question the relationship between theoretical knowledge and practice. While the study includes literature analysis and evaluation as a method, it also reveals the analysis of the components that affect the interior shaping for each cafe space. The interior design application projects used to support the theoretical dimension in the research are the cafes of the David People brand that serve with the franchise system in the provinces of Isparta, Konya, Mardin and Eskişehir. The spatial components determined through these cafe interiors, which have similar and different dynamics, were analysed and the findings were discussed. As a result, it is assumed that this study contributes to the designer in the design process to develop a new method and create a design proposal that includes the interior components of the cafes set as the sample area.

Full textAbstract:
Residential interiors (RIs) have been designed by anonymous designers throughout history and have reflected their users’ identity, culture, and habits until modern times, although design and architecture courses rarely involve residential interiors in their curriculums. Therefore, decision-makers (architects, interior architects, designers, and users) took them for granted. However, COVID-19 forced revisiting this approach towards RIs and they faced a gap in the literature helping them to design these interiors, especially workspaces, in order to improve their users’ experience. In connection with previous studies, which explored creativity in workspaces, this study aims to compile colour-related literature work on workspaces in RIs (WRI) which will require further attention from interior architects to reconsider the discipline under new normal conditions. Providing a framework for WRIs in terms of function and activity might lead to the semantics of RIs in future studies. This study’s findings contribute to the interpretation and understanding of new normal workspace interiors after the COVID-19 pandemic so it will be beneficial for decision-makers in addition to researchers who aim to investigate this topic in future studies.

This paper presents a study on the architecture created for the needs of Maggie's, a charity organisation, whose main aim since 1995 has been the creation of facilities (centres) for the short-term stay of cancer patients and their families without accommodation options. The main purpose of Maggie's facilities is to provide patients and their loved ones with a sense of home security and peace during hospital therapies. This paper discusses several centres, located all over the world, as well as the features of shaping space common to the presented examples as determined. Their architectural layouts were analysed with a focus on patient needs and activity. Based on the designs of Maggie's Centres, we identified basic principles of design and interior arrangement that can be used in other medical buildings and those that require their patients to maintain a high degree of psychophysical comfort. This paper presents evidence of the importance of a homely atmosphere in healthcare settings.

Dendrimer is derived from the Greek word “dendron” which is used for tree and from the Greek suffix “mer” (segment) which describes the synthetic, three-dimensional molecules having branching parts.“A dendrimer is generally described as a macromolecule, which is characterized by its dendritic and hyper branched 3D structure that offers a high degree of surface functionality and versatility.” Dendrimers possess three distinguishable architectural components i.e. an interior core, interior layer(generations) composed of repeating units radially attached to the interior core, and exterior (terminal functionality) attached to outermost interior generation (Fig. 1). The higher generation dendrimers, due to their globular structure, occupy a smaller hydrodynamic volume compared to the corresponding linear polymers. The dendritic structure is characterized by layer between each generation.Dendrimers are generally prepared using either a divergent method or a convergent one. There is a fundamental difference between these two construction concepts. Dendrimers shows the various properties such as structure, shape, aqueous solubility, non-polar solubility, &architecture. Dendrimer can be classification on the basis of their shape, structure, branching, solubility, chirality and attachment. Dendrimer can be differentiated on the basis of their shape, end functional groups and internal cavities.

Diabetes mellitus, or just diabetes, is a gathering of diseases described by high blood glucose levels that outcome from surrenders in the body's capacity to deliver or potentially use insulin. It is a condition essentially characterized by the degree of hyperglycaemia bringing about risk of microvascular harm (retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy). It is related with decreased future, critical grimness because of explicit diabetes related microvascular complications, expanded risk of macrovascular complications (ischaemic coronary illness, stroke and fringe vascular sickness), and reduced personal satisfaction Several pathogenetic processes are engaged with the advancement of diabetes. As the diabetes is a slow progressive disease which causes target organ damage if not control. Study shows that controlled diabetics have also risk of target organ damage. Managing a diabetic patient needs to be combination of diet, discipline and drugs. Only drugs is given by the physician but the other two control parameter like diet and discipline is done by the patient himself. Life style modification can bring these two factors under control.

Problem statement. The problem of improving the learning process can be solved by increasing the educational collections of minerals and rocks that can be found every day, but for various reasons, do not pay attention to them. The best samples of various stone materials were usually used for cladding. Similarly, in the external and internal cladding of the academy buildings were used varieties of rocks that differ in strength, color, texture, structure and inclusions of minerals and are the best examples of decorative building materials. Purpose of the article. All this diverse stone decoration of the Academy can be used in the educational process, in particular, for the study of minerals and rocks within the discipline “Engineering Geology”, which is read to all students of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture, as well as the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Ecology. Conclusion. All this diverse stone decoration of the Academy is quite possible to use in the educational process, in particular, for the study of minerals and rocks in the framework of teaching the discipline “Engineering Geology”, which is read to all students of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture, as well as the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Ecology. Thanks to the polished surface of large slabs of facing rocks, it is possible to visually and more fully identify rocks while studying the relevant disciplines, which is convenient for teaching students of all specialties. It is expedient to use facing materials of buildings of educational institution in the course of studying of geological disciplines, especially for students-architects for what it is necessary to provide target excursions on buildings of academy. Various rocks, with which the interior elements are faced, serve as a good addition to the existing educational collections of the Department of Engineering Geology and Geotechnics.

One of the main reasons for acquiring a Bachelor's Degree is the perception of higher education as a means of improving graduates' financial status. In light of the increased accessibility of higher education, a growing number of students hope to use their studies as a financial springboard. In the current study we sought to examine this perception and to check whether and to what degree baccalaureate degrees indeed improve graduates' financial situation. In cooperation with Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics we gathered data on 6,091 graduates who completed their studies at the Ariel University Center during 2000-2008. Data analysis included exploring graduates' rate of employment and monthly salary from the day they began their academic studies until eight years later. We divided and distinguished between graduates by discipline and gender. The findings show that graduates earn almost three times the national average salary (and five times the median salary) and indicate employment rates of nearly 100%. Analysis of findings by discipline indicates that the most profitable fields are computer sciences and mathematics, engineering, and architecture. Salaries in the natural and social sciences and in the humanities are significantly lower both compared to the former fields and to the national average salary, at least for this eight year span. Analysis of the data by sex showed that the rate of employment among men is 12% higher than among women and that there is a disparity in employment within each discipline as well. Research conclusions show that academic degrees per se are not a guarantee of financial or occupational security. Employees with degrees in the social sciences and the humanities may find that their pay is no higher than those with no degree. One of the implications of this issue, already evident at this stage is that students are attempting to attain higher degrees in the hope of improving their financial status. The equation of a higher education with a higher income seems to involve other components as well, such as graduates' field of study, seniority on the job, and field of occupation.

This paper is the subject of the Bachelor's Degree by Albina Dervishi under the guidance of the lecturer Dr. Otjela Lubonja. Through this study, it is intended to show what is recycling, what is its impact on nature and society. As an efficient process for the handling and reuse of materials, which promotes innovation and an important and long-term economic growth. Equally important are both social and environmental benefits because it promotes the sustainable use of our natural resources and fosters community development, saving of new land use, pollution prevention, energy conservation and reduction of greenhouse gas effects. To tell us at what stage of our recycling is our country and whether we have it or not as a culture. To explain what it means to use indoor and outdoor recyclable materials and what these materials are. The paper continues to detail how recyclable materials are selected in detail from their chemical and structural composition as these materials can be applied to the interior and exterior. In practice, it is unlikely to achieve this ideal in the near future most of the construction companies in Albania. However, a significant contribution that the society itself, but also the construction industry can do, is to link design and ecology to building buildings and buildings without harming the environment. So use the design in such a way as to make possible the reuse and recycling of the materials used. The work at the current stage was supported by secondary data, the study at a second stage could be extended to public policy presented as a project for its realization, in public institutions such as municipal units, city hall. Through this paper, UET draws the attention of the country's scientific opinion and beyond to the opportunities created for in-depth studies in the field of Architecture and Design Sciences.

Abstract. Modern specialists in the field of architecture work exclusively in three-dimensional space. At the same time, their training completely ignores the state-of-the-art technologies associated with obtaining three-dimensional models of engineering structures. In such circumstances, the connections between the three key participants in the design and construction of engineering structures, namely architects, builders, and surveyors are broken. The main technology that allows obtaining three-dimensional models is photogrammetry. The purpose of the presented article is to determine the subject matter of close-range photogrammetry in solving architectural design problems. Based on certain architectural tasks, educational modules for the discipline of architectural photogrammetry of the bachelor educational level were developed. The peculiarity of the proposed program is that it is designed in such a way that it allows using the whole complex of the modern achievements in the field of automated image processing and the specifics of setting and solving architectural problems. At the same time, this program covers such modern technologies and concepts as UAV photogrammetry, digital photogrammetry, photogrammetric scanning, BIM, GIS, etc. Such an approach allows students without problems to learn several special knowledge, which is owned by surveyors and photogrammetrists. The approximate content of the course of architectural photogrammetry for bachelor students is presented.

The article presents carried-out research work on the artistic heritage of Vasily Stasov (the buildings that identify to the greatest degree the architect’s stylistic techniques) as determining the main trends in the development of Russian architecture from the end of the 18th to the mid-19th century, namely, the “High Classicist” style, which was predominant during this period, and the sources of historicism. In order to minimize subjectivity when analyzing the evolution of Russian architecture following the main buildings designed by Vasily Stasov, the principle of this assessment was formed. Within the framework of the creative heritage of Vasily Stasov, research was made of: a complex of shopping malls, the interior of a palace (using the example of a ceremonial office), triumphal arches (gates) (four examples), a complex of stables (two examples), food warehouses (two examples), a complex of barracks, restoration work (by the example of a cathedral in an architectural ensemble), cathedrals (two examples) and a church, a tenement house, and a palace ensemble.

Full textAbstract:
Resource misallocation (RM) refers to the existence of marginal output inequalities between different industries or companies in an economy. Prior studies of RM have mostly focused on effect analysis, construction industry structure upgrades, and organization management. However, these studies have been fragmented and unrelated. This paper analyzes the status quo, consequences, and emerging trends of RM research at the macroscopic level based on current problems and with the aim of exploring potential solutions. Drawing on grounded theory, a qualitative analysis using text-mining is used to analyze the characteristics of 124 RM-related papers. The results more comprehensively and systematically reveal that current RM research encompasses four major dimensions of sources and concepts, misallocation degree measurement and characterization, focused issues (field), and RM research deficiencies. Methods for measuring RM have also been developed from the simple proportional method to current mainstream methods (e.g., growth rate decomposition and variant substitution). We conclude that, in order for this discipline to thrive and effectively reduce RM, future research into RM should focus on core categories, especially the reform of market-oriented factors, transformation of government functions, construction industrial structure adjustment, and methods of income distribution. This systematic review provides a discipline oversight and uncovers necessary and potential research directions.

Currently many real estate developers offer their products through their websites. The aim of this medium is not only to facilitate understanding of the building, but also to capture the attention of potential customers, provoking feelings and emotions that influence the purchase decision, especially in the case of off-plan property sales. Understanding the cognitive factors behind customers' evaluation processes prior to a purchase is of great interest for defining successful design criteria. The interior space of the property is one of the most important aspect in users' purchase decisions. The paper aims to determine which property design elements in floor plans provoke the emotions users use to describe its interior design. A field study was carried out on a sample of 75 individuals who evaluated a set of images of real estate promotions. The results show that the landings and corridors are fundamental; the area must be spacious so that larger surface areas score best; the living room must be well differentiated from the bedrooms; the valuation of the space depends on the graphic form of presentation, the use of warm colours and the degree of detail in the plans has a positive influence on the assessment. This information may be of great interest for architects and designers in the graphic representation of the space.

There are many definitions of facilities management. Wes McGregor and Danny Shiem-Shim Then describe facilities management (FM) as „the infrastructure that supports the people in the organization in their endeavours to achieve business goals”. In other words, facilities are the tools which people in the business have at their disposal to carry out their tasks. The Library of Congress (USA) provides an initial definition that is often quoted to explain the breadth of the field of facilities management: “The practice of coordinating the physical workplace with the people and work of the organization; integrates the principles of business administration, architecture and the behavioural and engineering sciences”. One of the most exact definitions of Facility Management used by F. Becker is: “Facility Management is a term which encompass the activities in planning, designing and managing complex facilities such as offices, hospitals and schools, differ from architecture and interior design”. The scope of the discipline covers all aspects of property, space, environmental control, health and safety, and support services, and requires that appropriate control point are established in the organization. The article presents an example of multiple criteria analysis of commerce centre in Vilnius. Initial data are given in Tables 1 and 2. A comparison of premises lease alternatives is carried out: from the tenant point of view and from that of the owner. The result—the best variant for tenants and owner is to rent the premises with all services.

The interior spaces that depend on their functional activities often evoke diverse receiving impressions that are embodied in different responses according to what the vocabulary and design elements emit according to the contradictory mechanisms of foundations and principles, as in the subject of amplification and reduction, and every duality is implicit in the meaning of these contradictions that enhance the sense of the luxury of the place and affect the use towards The optimal and appropriate performance, especially in the space of the public court hearings. On the other hand, the motives for the function of the interior space call for this design character when it requires a sense of the awe of the place and its activities, through regular geometric shapes abstracted from plankton of sense, addressing the imagination of the recipient with its physical and intellectual framework when imagination takes them To meditate on the interpretation of the luxury of forms borrowed from ancient architecture with a metaphysical tendency. Accordingly, the researcher finds the need to address this study and explore its origins and references, in order to be able to agree between the contradictions within the framework of a common field. Therefore, the researcher presents the problem of his research in the following question: How can a contradictory duality be used, such as amplification and reduction, to express the function of major internal spaces, while the thesis aimed at: First Finding contradictory conventions within the data of amplification and reduction that present design mechanisms with regular rhythms that call for everything that represents a sense of luxury, discipline and justice, and second: identifying the functional motives achieved by the expressive side in the elements of forms provided by both amplification and reduction within one design system, and the research reached results The most important of them: 1- The first model appeared in a modernist character away from stereotypes, so simplicity appeared in reducing the space of the interior space, the furnishing elements and the secondary ceiling in a circular shape. 2- The secondary ceiling and the industrial lighting units in the first model were characterized by a somewhat complex organization and cylindrical geometric formations, in contrast to the designer, the curves of their circular shapes in Floor tile inscriptions also appeared, while in the second model appeared square formations that harmonized with the shape and size of the interior space, The most important conclusions are: 1- Reducing the meaning of the identity of the place through geometric shapes with complex inscriptions and a civilizational allegorical character is of great importance to the societal and ideological feeling as expressive elements that enhance functional privacy that often calls for one common performance, values and belonging to unite the group,2-The role of amplification and reduction in expressing the function of the inner space comes from the quantities of the first and the qualities of the second, the optimal use depends on the correct reception.

Aiming at the goal of high-quality development of the landscape architecture industry, we should actively promote the development and integration of digital, networked, and intelligent technologies and promote the intelligent and diversified development of the landscape architecture industry. Due to the limitation of drawing design technology and construction method, the traditional landscape architecture construction cannot really understand the public demands, and the construction scheme also relies on the experience and subjective aesthetics of professionals, resulting in improper connection between design and construction. At present, under the guidance of the national strategy, under the background of the rapid development of digital technologies such as 5G, big data, cloud computing, Internet of Things, and digital twins, the high integration of landscape architecture construction and digital technology has led to the transformation of the production mode of landscape architecture construction. Abundant professional data and convenient information processing platform enable landscape planners, designers, and builders to evaluate the whole life cycle of the project more scientifically and objectively and realize the digitalization of the whole process of investigation, analysis, design, construction, operation, and maintenance. For the landscape architecture industry, the significance of digital technology is not only to change the production tools but also to update the environmental awareness, design response, and construction methods, which makes the landscape architecture planning and design achieve the organic combination of qualitative and quantitative and also makes the landscape architecture discipline more scientific and rational. In this paper, the new method of combining grey relational degree with machine learning is used to provide new guidance for traditional landscape planning by using big data information in landscape design and has achieved very good results. The article analyzes the guidance of landscape architecture design under the big data in China and provides valuable reference for promoting the construction of landscape architecture in China.

The article substantiates the need for training architects in the field of industrial heritage conservation and re-use. Based on a review of European and domestic experiences in industrial heritage revalorization and advanced approaches to the training of such professionals, a concept of master’s degree course is proposed to be delivered at the Ural States University of Architecture and Art within the discipline “Architectural Design of Urban Industrial Infrastructure”. Theoretical and methodological foundations of the course are defined within the framework of a concept of comprehensive revalorization of the Middle Urals mining and metal-making landscape. This concept allows for the historical background of this Russian old industrial region and includes a specially developed methodology for conducting research at different levels and developing re-use projects. In conclusion, a detailed consideration is given to how relevant research and design skills should be developed in students by engaging them in individual and team work based on specialized historical and theoretical knowledge in the field of industrial heritage management.

Explicitly regional projects have been a comparatively recent phenomenon in Mediterranean archaeology. Classical archaeology is by far the strongest discipline in the university, museum and antiquities services career structures within the Mediterranean countries. It has always been dominated by the ‘Great Tradition’ of classical art and architecture: even today, a university course on ‘ancient topography’ in many departments of classical archaeology will usually deal predominantly with the layout of the major imperial cities and the details of their monumental architecture. The strength of the tradition is scarcely surprising in the face of the overwhelming wealth of the standing remains of the Greek and Roman cities in every Mediterranean country. There has been very little integration with prehistory: early prehistory is still frequently taught within a geology degree, and later prehistory is still invariably dominated by the culture-history approach. Prehistory in many traditional textbooks in the north Mediterranean countries remains a succession of invasions and migrations, first of Palaeolithic peoples from North Africa and the Levant, then of neolithic farmers, then metal-using élites from the East Mediterranean, followed in an increasingly rapid succession by Urnfielders, Dorians and Celts from the North, to say nothing of Sea Peoples (from who knows where?!). For the post-Roman period, church archaeology has a long history, but medieval archaeology in the sense of dirt archaeology is a comparatively recent discipline: until the 1960s in Italy, for example, ‘medieval archaeology’ meant the study of the medieval buildings of the historic cities, a topic outside the responsibility of the State Archaeological Service (the Superintendency of Antiquities) and within that of the parallel ‘Superintendencies’ for monuments, libraries, archives and art galleries.

The purpose of this article is to present an architecture of a reduced-size greenhouse, monitored and controled via Internet of Things (IoT). As an experiment, seeds of Apuleia leiocarpa (Vog.) Macbr were used and at 25oC, 75% germination was obtained. In order to apply the automation on seed germination process, sensors are required and a prototype has been built with support of a computational system installed in its interior by including the control in conserving temperature, humidity and the degree of brightness inside the structure. In this sense, sensors are used for monitoring and control of the variables that most influence in the development of a vegetal species. The proposed system has a cloud-based storage and the effective contributions of the computer system are started from the web platform, transfer the set-points to the controllers, and upload data read from sensors to the same web page.

Full textAbstract:
The Einstein Tower was the product of the complementary investigations of expressionism, reinforced concrete construction, and relativity undertaken by its architect, Erich Mendelsohn, between 1912 and 1920. The war-ravaged German economy of 1921, which impeded its construction, and the scientific agenda of its patron, Erwin Finlay Freundlich, which determined the character of its interior spaces, also helped shape its final appearance. Designed to serve scientific inquiry, it occupies a distinctive intellectual, as well as stylistic, position within the history of German expressionism. In this building Mendelsohn established the design approach that would characterize the rest of his German career, fusing attention to program with bold images of the thrilling instability of modern life. As its reception demonstrates, the functional aspects of the tower have been overshadowed by the degree to which its form has mistakenly been identified with a contemporary enthusiasm for mysticism, which in fact played no role in its design.

Abstract In response to the topic of this conference, this paper mainly adopts the strategy of introducing database technology into the renewal and renovation of existing housing. The construction industry, particularly those involved in the renovation of existing homes, must adapt to the new information era by applying information transformation strategies. In the architecture sector, it is still utilized for the storage and visualization of project and product information, but that is about all for the time being. According to the findings of this study, the database platform should be utilized more extensively in such a case. Through the establishment of a new online platform, residents will be able to engage in the design process to a significant degree. This study, which used WAMP as its foundation and database technology as its vehicle, created a core database on the supporting and accessory systems of existing housing in order to provide people with an interactive platform for free renewal design and, as a result, make it easier for people to become involved in the redevelopment and renovation of existing housing.

Exploring the work of Antonio Gaudi and his knowledge in descriptive geometry, which develops a spatial imagination, we notice the use of lines, shapes, volumetric geometric images in architectural creativity. In his early work, Antonio Gaudi designs buildings under the influence of the Moorish style, using geometric shapes and lines that emphasize Arabic motifs in the patterns. So in the house of Vissenty, made in the style of modernism, he applied the idea of a self-repeating element of a simple form toa more complex one. In a fragment of the gallery of the city park Guell, which is an example of the urban style, Gaudi used the transformation of one surface to another, while showing the smoothness of lines and the accuracy of surface construction and without violating their regularity.Combining various forms in one building or structure, Gaudi perfectly mastered the geometry of the curved lines of the second and third order in space. To achieve a similar effect of shaping, scientists tried in the 60s of the XX century by constructing curved lines and Bezier surfaces. Gaudi achieved a similar effect of shaping in a practical way.n his work, he used cylindrical, conical and spherical surfaces that smoothly passed one into another, as well as the surfaces of Catalan: a hyperbolic paraboloid, conoid, cylindroid. In creating volumetric interior plastic, the curved lines with a kinematic movement created bizarre shapes of the ceiling, smoothly turning into other geometric shapes of the walls.The staircasein one of the towers of the Sagrada Familia is a geometric image of a helicoid, where a complex geometric shape is taken as the generatrix, and the guides are two helises -cylindrical helical lines of different radii.In the geometric construction of a direct or inclined helicoid, it is necessary to have two guides and a movement step, which can be set mathematically. In any case, such a surface remains one of the most unique in nature because the helicoid is a minimal surface.Park Guell is located in Barcelona on the Carmel hill, an area of 17.2 hectares. It was built in the first half of the last century. The customer, who was Eusebi Güell.He huge park complex includes a territory with residential buildings and comfortable relaxation areas, amazing picturesque gardens, quaint shady alleys, multi-tiered terraces, colorful flower arrangements, winding grottoes and gazebos.Working on a park project, Gaudi was inspired by the beauties of the surrounding nature of the Carmel Upland and its picturesque landscapes. In the project, walking paths stretched across the entire park, the mountains were not specially cut from the terrain to emphasize the natural landscape of nature.Necessary for the construction of the elements of the park: poles and beams, were decorated under palm trees. Despite the fact that the height difference was 60 meters, the master skillfully beat the landscape with bizarre forms, emphasizing the desire of a person from simple to sublime.If you delve into history, you can see that the construction work is divided into three stages: the strengthening of hills and slopes with the arrangement of terraces for curved paths and the erection of walls; the construction of a colonnade, a market and mansions; building a bench in the shape of a snake. To date, all the facilities of the complex have been preserved in their original form. At the entrance to the park there are two houses resembling fabulous gingerbread houses, the walls of which arelined with ceramic fragments. The facade of eachhouse is decorated with a medallion with the inscription “Park Guell”. In Gaudi’s work, the “hundred columns” hall, which is inscribed in the landscape of the hill, is a terrace with 86 columns of 6 meters each. These columns support a ceiling with a bizarre shape of complex geometric surfaces of revolution. The plastic of the ceiling vault is made of modern concrete of the time, the decoration of which is made of ceramic in the form of a mosaic. In practical work, Antonio Gaudi took a self-repeating algorithm that developed in space in the form necessary for his design. Gaudi perfectly mastered the skills and knowledge of the discipline called Descriptive Geometry. Developing the spatial imagination, this discipline offers us all kinds of lines, geometric shapes and three-dimensional bodies, for the embodiment of the ideas of masters of architecture, one of which is Antonio Gaudi.

Full textAbstract:
Wayfinding is the study of how humans use a variety of informational media to orient themselves and navigate in a space, such as a library. This multi-method case study tested the applicability of a wayfinding framework developed in architecture to a public library environment. Research methods included unobtrusive observation of a random sample of users’ wayfinding in the facility and interviews with a convenience sample of users to discuss their wayfinding behavior. Patrons used various wayfinding behaviors in the facility, some corresponding to the framework, but other behaviors did not fit into the existing framework and not all aspects of the framework were observed or expressed. Additional research is necessary to investigate more fully the degree to which the framework validly describes how library users wayfind. Results have value for librarians, architects and interior designers, all of whom may apply findings toward their work designing facilities that are intuitive to navigate.

Full textAbstract:
A comparative analysis of the formation and development of the Neo-Moorish style in the architecture and interiors of France and Russia in the 19th century is presented in the article. How did the interest in studying the architecture of medieval Moors form in these countries? What are the main differences and similarities in the development of the Neo-Moorish style in Russia and France? In the 19th century, the first manifestations of the oriental theme appeared to a large extent owing to the work of writers and artists. The mysterious world of the East became a rich source of new plots, palette, exotic customs, and architectural forms. In parallel with literature and painting, the oriental theme was developing in architecture and interior design, and it would later flourish in copying the Moorish style. Among the monuments of medieval Moors, the Alhambra Palace, built in the Emirate of Granada in the period from the 13th to the 15th centuries, became an architectural model for European architects. The French world exhibitions, on which architectural and historical pavilions were exhibited, were a significant source of the proliferation of the Neo-Moorish style in Europe. Russian architects such as Paul Notbek and Carl Rachau also made a significant contribution to the study of the Alhambra. Recognized both in Russia and in Europe, the results of their work allowed St. Petersburg architects to have original samples of Moorish architecture and to develop this style in many St. Petersburg interiors with a high degree of skill of their work during the peak of historicism development. In the second half of the 19th century, the Moorish style spread throughout Europe and became an international historical oriental style. In each country, borrowings showed their own characteristics and developmental features due to cultural, political, and geographical influence. In France, the Moorish style was actively borrowed not only for interior decoration but also in the construction of public and commercial buildings such as casinos, cafes, thermal stations. In Russia, the Moorish style was used mainly in palaces and mansions of the highest nobility and the bourgeoisie. In France, the Mauresque style took on various forms and had different sources, whereas in Russia it referred mainly to the historical examples of the Alhambra. Thus, France and Russia participated in the pan-European trend of the Neo-Moorish style; however, each country has developed its own variation of this oriental style of the period of historicism.

The article deals with doctoral dissertations prepared and defended at the Faculty of Architecture at current Vilnius Gediminas Technical University in spite of changes of its institutional subordination. It deepens into fields of scientific research investigated during doctoral studies that are considered an important part of research in architecture. The tendencies of evolution of doctorate at the Faculty of Architecture of VGTU are contextualised in architectural research and doctoral studies in architectural research and education institutions both in Lithuania and abroad. During the Soviet times, Lithuanian architects had a possibility to prepare and defend dissertations for a scientific degree of candidate of architectural sciences either at the Faculty of Architecture at Kaunas Polytechnic Institute (afterwards – at Vilnius Engineering Building Institute) or at institutions of architectural research and education in the Soviet Union, outside Lithuania, depending if Lithuanian institutions had the right to educate the aspirants for scientific degree and the right to defend their dissertations. It mostly influenced the dynamics of scientific degrees obtained (see Fig. 1). Architecture was defined as an autonomous research field under the Soviet classification and it helped to shape the identity of the discipline: its width, specific methods and questions. Architectural dissertations of Soviet times were rigorously specialised and empiric, closely connected with practice, deepening into urban issues more than architectural ones (see Fig. 2). Since 1998, architecture loses its integrity and becomes a subfield of Art Critics in Humanities. Since then doctoral dissertations defended at the Faculty of Architecture of VGTU investigate architectural history, theory and critics according traditional methodologies of humanities including interdisciplinary contexts; fundamental academic research dominates. Recent international dynamic changes in both doctoral studies and architectural research directs for the impact of research beyond academia generating more efficient contribution to architectural research and innovation related to ideas, forms, techniques, materials and practices based upon technological advances for the so-called society of knowledge; one of the means is creating various forms of doctorates. Nevertheless, the present situation of doctorate at the Faculty of Architecture of VGTU is not supportive for tuning to new tendencies – revision of national classification of research towards integrity of architecture field, and also introduction of a program of research by design, priorities for innovative, practice-embedded, interdisciplinary, future-oriented research in doctorate at the school might create much more positive medium for the progress. Santrauka Straipsnyje nagrinėjama doktorantūros (aspirantūros) Vilniaus Gedimino technikos universiteto Architektūros fakultete, nepaisant jo kitusios institucinės priklausomybės, raida.

“The task of critical regionalism is to rethink architecture through the concept of region.” (Tzonis & Lefaivre, 2003) The term critical regionalism, in its sense, raises several arguments in the architectural field. Critical regionalism could debate the essence of the utopian idea of international design, that every building can be placed anywhere and function with high compatibility. Critical regionalism questions the approaches used in international design; it opens up the idea that each region could have a specific characteristic that could serve function, form, and efficiency. This could also mean that each region will be distinct in the means of materials and treatments. “Critical regionalism self- consciously seeks to deconstruct universal modernism in terms of values and images which are locally cultivated, while at the same time adulterating these autochthonous elements with paradigms drawn from alien sources.” (Frarmpton, 1983) Critical Regionalism does not intend to revisit history or dwell in the past, but to find a middle ground between two extremes. The universal design that the modernists strive to achieve by spearing Louis Sullivan’s saying “Form follows function” wherever the building might exist, and the post modernists who celebrated ornamentation for its own sake. Globalization is definitely a benefit for designers as it expands the visual cultures; yet designers need to use this design exposure in a way that could benefit the environment and maximize the built environment's efficiency.This paper questions the possibility to use critical regionalism in promoting a region’s identity but at the same time adheres to the international developments. The aim is to explore the idea of critical regionalism applications, and whether it could relate to both international design and regional identity. Its being applied to four different interior design Master’s degree student projects in Florence, Italy. The students were given a specific building in the center of Florence to redesign but there were several fixed factors. First, the building should be a hotel that relates to the identity of the city of Florence, second, the design should be minimal, third the use of literal images or direct analogies were not allowed. The data is analyzed through a comparative study between the four projects in terms of concept, analogy, color scheme, materials and level of ornamentation.The paper represents results of this focus group of interior design students who are from different demographics with only fixed education levels’ postgraduates in either interior design or architecture, and project description.

Rapid changes due to the globalization process, cause in disappearance of traditional values and identity in the new architectural designs, particularly in the historical settlements. Presence of courtyard in the houses of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean countries dates back to nearly six thousand years ago. Privacy is one of the fundamental notions in the spatial organization of the traditional houses in this region and courtyard is the main component that assists achieving privacy in such houses. Kashan as one of the ancient cities of Iran possessing a considerable number of distinctive traditional courtyard houses, is crucial to be interrogated in terms of its traditional architecture to maintain its values and to sustain identity of the city. Space syntax as an effective method to clarify the spatial pattern of buildings and the degree of privacy in the interior spaces is applied in this study to identify privacy concerns on the formation of courtyards in the spatial organization of the traditional houses of Kashan. This paper may contribute in providing an approach for distribution of spaces in the house according to their level of privacy and its relationship in the process of current house layout design

Abstract - Dutch East Indies Empire architecture in Indonesia must be preserved as a result of acculturation between a foreign culture and a local one. The century-old Tawang Railway Station in Semarang has been hit by annual rob floods and has undergone somerenovation, but the latter has made the impact of reducing the architectural values of “Indies” style in its features. This research study may deepen understanding of this type of colonial architecture, exploring its application to this railway station. Furthermore, an in-depth analysis determines how function, form and structure have affected the spatial hierarchy of this railway station. This study is descriptive, analytical and interpretative, employing theories dealing with archetypes, ordering principles and Dutch East Indies Empire architecture. After data collection, the analysis compares these theories with the object of study. The findings indicate that this station has indeed applied the concept of the Dutch colonial style, starting from the context of the local area to the building elements, except for the floor. At present, the latter has already been changed in its entirety, from the initial building stage to its current state, where the specific “Indies” character can no longer be discerned. The zenith of hierarchy can be observed in the main lobby whose function is to receive visitors in its cube-shaped space similar to the Sokoguru (central Javanese pillar) and the cupola not found in any other part of the building. The building mass of the station is symmetrical in keeping with its typical “Indies” character, but the function of the interior space is asymmetrical. This shows the importance of achieving a high degree of spatial efficiency to make the activities run smoothly and effectively. Keywords: Hierarchy, Space, Dutch East Indies Empire Architecture, Semarang’s Tawang Railway Station

Abstract The European Higher Education Area was implemented as a result of the Bologna Process and set the mobility of students and staff as its main goal, suggesting tools to facilitate it. The European Union has supported the suggested measures, as mobility can be a way to support a common European identity and a strategic way to improve the quality of higher education institutes. Architectural studies, due to their special character as both an art and a science discipline, are chosen as the education area most suited for mapping degree mobility and highlighting the characteristics that differentiate each school in terms of attraction to international students. How do architectural students select the school to continue their studies? On what criteria is that based? There were more than 351 schools of architecture in the European Higher Education Area with 49 participating countries at the time the research was conducted. Do international students choose them at the same degree? What makes a difference between them, causing some of them to become famous schools of excellence while others are barely visible in the international competition? To answer the above questions, a research based on two questionnaires was conducted during the academic year 2018-2019. The aim of both questionnaires was to map the state of the art in architectural studies and determine the criteria students value the most to make their choices at master studies. The process of combining the data collected from both questionnaires showed that the study programmes and the city or country of the school are the main reasons for master’s students to choose a specific school and for schools to stand out. This is followed by the criteria: offered studies’ quality, institution’s reputation, teaching language, the host city’s economy, giving students the possibility to work during and/or after studies, the offer of third cycle. The paper concludes suggesting changes schools could implement if they wish to get a better position in the competitive market of attracting international students.

Full textAbstract:
The practice of architecture, a discipline that is inescapably contingent on the particular, but that is also required by society in some way to represent an ideal, raises a number of specific ethical issues. Following an essay by the philosopher Thomas Nagel, this paper argues that it is intrinsic to professional judgement that this involves the prioritizing of unquantifiable ‘goods’. A twentieth-century case study is examined, which exhibits the choices made by a well-known architect. The changed nature of architectural practice in the United Kingdom in the twenty-first century is then described, whereby the privilege of making such judgements has been severely limited by the substitution of managerial values for professional values. In the face of different ethical imperatives – most obviously to design responsibly within pressing ecological concerns – it is argued that the task for architects now is to re-establish a context within which sound judgements can be made, which of course implies a degree of professional trust. Their ability to balance managerial values (technical competence for example) with ethical decision-making is what may prove to be most valuable. There are implications for architectural education, which in the past has either pretended to be a science or has retreated into aesthetic speculation, providing training in the skills of persuasion rather than relationship-building. The conclusion is that ethical thinking is inescapable for the profession of architecture in the twenty-first century.
