Neubert, Christine, and Ronja Trischler. "“Pocketing” Research Data? Ethnographic Data Production as Material Theorizing." Journal of Contemporary Ethnography 50, no. 1 (October 31, 2020): 99–119. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0891241620968262.
Full textAbstract:
We analyze the relations between ethnographic data and theory through an examination of materiality in research practices, arguing that data production is a form of material theorizing. This entails reviewing and (re-)applying practice-theoretical discussions on materiality to questions of ethnography, and moving from understanding theory primarily as ideas to observing theorizing in all steps of research practice. We introduce “pocketing” as a heuristic concept to analyze how and when ethnographic data materializes: the concept defines data’s materiality relationally, through the affective and temporal dimensions of practice. It is discussed using two examples: in a study on everyday architectural experience where ethnographic data materialized as bodies affected by architecture; and in a study on digital cooperation where research data’s materialization was distributed over time according to the use of a company database. By conceptualizing data’s materiality as practice-bound, “pocketing” facilitates understanding the links between data and theory in ethnographic data production.

On 17 April 2021, Roman Tubaja, an ethnographer, museum curator, and a long-standing director of the Ethnographic Museum in Toruń named after Maria Znamierowska-Prüffer, passed away. Born on 16 February 1944 in Warlubie, Kociewie, he graduated in ethnography from the Jagiellonian University in 1966. As of 1967, he worked at the Ethnographic Museum in Toruń continuing there throughout all his career, and moving up the entire promotion ladder. Having been appointed Head of the Folk Architecture Department in 1970, in 1978, he was promoted to become Deputy Director for Research, while on 1 April 1980, he was assigned to become Director of the Ethnographic Museum in Toruń, which he remained for almost 30 years until his retirement in 2009. An excellent logistician, during his term of office he consistently extended and modernized the Museum, doubling the volume of the collection; furthermore, he held team stationary ethnographic research in the regions forming Gdansk Pomerania. Roman Tubaja’s academic output is made up of almost 40 papers tackling folk architecture as well as history and theory of ethnographic museology, of conceptual works, and of numerous conference speeches. He also authored several museum exhibitions.

Full textAbstract:
In the last quarter of the 19th century, national exhibitions had become popular in Hungary as well, following the examples of world exhibitions around Europe. A part of this process was the Hungarian Millennium Exhibition set up in 1896, which mobilised enormous energy and presented the ethnographic values of the region with special emphasis. In the Ethnographic Village of the exhibition, the counties of the country set up valid copies of 24 furnished farmhouses from their regions. Twelve of these houses were intended to present the folk culture of national minorities living in Hungary. The Toront?l County, among other things, exhibited a Serbian house type from Crepaja village and a copy of its furniture, as well as Serbian folk costumes from villages Melenci and Crepaja. A research preceded the exhibition. J?nos Jank?, an ethnographer from Budapest, conducted a fieldwork in the above mentioned settlements in 1894, with the support of the Toront?l County. During his trip, he made notes, photos and drawings. He summarised the results of his research on several occasions. After the closing of the exhibition, the objects were placed in the collection of the then-formed Museum of Ethnography in Budapest, where they can be found even today. In our work, we would like to publish the results of this research and exhibition in a wider context, since these data, drawings and photos, which are mostly unknown for the ethnography and cultural history of the region, originate from the earliest stage of professional ethnographic research in Banat.

Full textAbstract:
Active research on archaeological sites associated with the colonization of Pritomia by Russians began in the post-war period and is still being carried out by archaeologists from Tomsk University, the Novokuznetsk and Kemerovo Museum of Local Lore, the Kuznetsk Fortress Museum (G. V. Trukhin, N. M. Petrov,A. I. Matyushchenko, M. P. Chernaya, A. I. Martynov, Yu.V. Shirin). Since the 1970s , the city of Tomsk has hosted archaeological and ethnographic meetings (conferences since 1981) of museum and university employees, at which results are summarized and prospects for field expeditionary work are determined. In particular, the current Kuzbass Integrated Ethno-Archaeological Expedition of KemSU is engaged in the study of territories of the former fortresses of the 17th and early 18th centuries. The architectural and ethnographic survey of the Russian settlements of Pritomye was fragmentarily carried out by Tomsk and Kemerovo ethnographers and the architectural workshop of Novokuznetsk as part of various programs to preserve the ethnocultural heritage of Tomsk and Kemerovo regions. The Middle Pritomie is most poorly studied, where as a result of the construction of the Krapivinsky reservoir, most of the ancient villages and villages of the 18th — early 20th centuries disappeared. XX century. Monuments of Russian folk architecture collapsed in many localities as a result of collectivization and industrial development in Kuzbass, and the creators of this heritage traveled to cities and urbanized, discarding traditional household items and Orthodox cults as unnecessary. Only a small part of them went to the museums of Kuzbass and the city of Tomsk.

Humans were not aware of various operations using basic mathematical concepts and ideas. For example, counting activities by referring to a number, weighing operations (duty, area, capacity and load), art, business activities (counting currencies, profit and loss, etc.) ) and building architecture (traditional housing). The aim of this study is to study and analyze the ethnographic findings from Maimun Palace, North Sumatra, to obtain background information on the development of ethnography for learning mathematics in the field of geometry. This type of research is exploratory research using an ethnographic approach. Based on the results of the research carried out, mathematical sections and blanks are used to carry out the manual operations of the Maimun Palace. No need to study theoretical math projects, they apply mathematical concepts in everyday life. There is evidence of ethnographic patterns expressed in various results of organized and advanced mathematical operations, including: 1) planning for the construction of Maimun Palace; and 2) the carving activity on the walls of Maimun Palace.

Full textAbstract:
Many ethnic groups with unique cultures exist in Indonesia, but their vernacular architecture and living cultures need to be supported to ensure sustainability. One example of how a more anthropological approach to the design and planning of the built environment requires a better understanding is the study of the living culture of indigenous communities. Unsurprisingly, an ethnographic approach is critical to studying these communities' architecture and living culture in Indonesia. This study aims to outline the main principles of the ethnographic approach and review the implementation of these principles in previous studies on the vernacular architecture of indigenous communities in Indonesia. A comparative analysis of four case studies shows that each study has implemented the approach's main principles contextually. The results showed that the four case studies utilized observation and interviews to collect field data in slightly different terms. Although each case study's objectives, focus, and issues were different, the researchers managed to provide a cultural portrait that included the participants' views (emic) and the researcher's opinions (etic). The similarities between the four communities are religious or belief systems affecting the architecture and living culture, which are cultural aspects that significantly affect each case as part of the findings embodied in themes resulting from interpretation. These results can help to develop guidelines for designers and planners working in indigenous communities. Through ethnographic studies, architects and planners can understand indigenous communities' point of view (etic) to integrate their perspectives (emic) when working hand in hand with the community.

Full textAbstract:
Emboldened by the economic crisis of 2007 to 2008, a growing rhizome of socially and politically engaged spatial practices have resorted to alternative modes of producing architecture that focus more on its societal aspirations. Aiming to uncover some of the potentialities of the projects that emerged from this growing rhizome to introduce other modes of making architecture while resisting dominant ones, this paper considers the Deleuzian-Guattarian concept of the “minor” to propose an alternative reading of such projects as “minor architectures,” that is, critical practices that resist the canon and act in the crevices of the mainstream. Using ethnographic research methods on two empirical cases, namely the Floating Berlin designed by Raumlabor and Agrocité Paris designed by Atelier d’Architecture Autogérée, the paper identifies “minor” spatial tactics of making architecture that go beyond the limit(ation)s of the practice: (1) resisting the architectural object as a static entity, (2) fostering collective expression, (3) exploring potentialities by reterritorializing interstitial spaces, and (4) creating haptic and affective experiences. The paper reflects on the concept of the minor as an operational tool that could help break away from dominant systems of architectural production.

Province, which is located in the south-eastern corner of Poland. At the beginning of the 1970s, as the result of an initiative drawing attention to the need for documentation of the rapidly disappearing traditional Rzeszowiacy vernacular wooden architecture (and that of the neighboring ethnographic group, the Lasowiacy), the Folk Culture Open-Air Museum in Kolbuszowa was created. This paper presents a short overview of the open-air museum’s establishment and describes in detail its role in the study and protection of the wooden architectural heritage of the Rzeszowiacy ethnographic group, based on the museum’s research, carried out over fifty years, and its collection of buildings.

Full textAbstract:
'Olęder' Ethnographic Park in Nieszawka Wielka is Poland's only open-air museum that has been dedicated to construction of the rural, associated with olęder settlement. Currently, its research range covers an area of Lower Vistula Valley.
Existing conservation measures, which main task is to protect architectural monuments in situ, however, is not always sufficient or possible. Preserved until today, very few examples of this construction are threatened by the progressive deterioration leading to their elimination from the Vistula landscape. The creation of a museum in the open air and translocation of these precious relics is actually the only chance for their continued survival.
As a preliminary point, I will briefly present the characteristics of the 'olęder' settlement in the Lower Vistula Valley and the concept of 'Olęder' Ethnographic Park in Nieszawka Wielka along with attempts to establish a new branch of the Museum.
The purpose of this article is to highlight the importance of supporting architectural research during the demolition of wooden architecture on the example of pens in Kaniczek translocated into 'Olęder' Ethnographic Park in Nieszawka Wielka. Initially, the concept of conservation project was discussed, developed on the basis of architectural research conducted before demolition. These studies were conducted using a non-invasive method, making it difficult to access all components and places. Supplementing the research during the demolition shed a new light on conservation issues. The summary of activities related to the translocation will show the last phase of facility construction.

Mehedinţi County impresses with the specificity of its traditions, with its heritage that speaks of a time of peace and order, through a horizon full of special symbolism. The study is organized on two coordinates with the intention of briefly presenting the issues addressed. , On the one hand, the elements of ethnography of traditional housing will be analyzed, on the other hand, it is intended to present some aspects of authentic Romanian spirituality manifested in the area of Mehedinţi, that of the local ‘nedei’. Regarding the ethnographic aspects of the traditional house, an attempt will be made to create a typology of houses with vernacular architecture in Mehedinți County, as well as to mention their conservation and restoration actions in the conditions of contemporary research. Among the calendar customs specific to the area, the most spectacular are the ‘nedeile’, because they represent the meeting between an ancient pre-Christian substratum with certain holidays and / or church feasts, i. e. with the Christian religion. The distinction between fairs and ‘nedeile’ will be discussed extensively, bringing arguments selected from specialized bibliography. At the same time, the important role of the ‘Iron Gates’ Museum from Drobeta Turnu Severin will be mentioned in the conservation and patrimonialization of the material and immaterial culture specific to the Mehedinți ethnographic region.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of this research is the traditional dwelling in the natural and cultural space of the Russian North and the Arctic. The goal of this work is to examine the peculiarities of a peasant house in Purnema settlement as a factor of formation of the cultural landscape of Onezhskoye Pomorye. The dwelling is examines not as an isolated structure, but an integral part of the North Russian cultural landscape, one of the key elements of the traditional culture of Pomorye— the Russian variant of marine culture in the Arctic. The research is based on empirical data acquired in the course of expedition in 2020 on the territory of Onezhskoye Pomorye, settlement of Purnema, Arkhangelsk Region. The article emplopys archival sources of the State Museum of Architecture named after A.V. Shchusev (Moscow), wooden architecture sites in the open-air museum “Malye Korely” (Arkhangelsk Region). Empirical data was obtained via photographic evidence of architectural sites, schematic measurements, and ethnographic questionnaire of local residents, using the method of interview. The research also leans on methodology developed by the Doctor of Culturology A. B. Permilovskaya on the architectural and ethnographic survey of the wooden architecture sites. The conclusion is made that the architectural-construct peculiarities of the dwelling and type settlement demonstrate the specific lifestyle of the Russian people in the harsh forest zone and their adjustment to the local climate. In the conditions of the North and the Arctic, a peasant house manifests as a stabilizing factor of adaptation, which ensures sustainable coexistence of population and cultural landscape formed therein; and thus, the effectiveness of ethnosocial and environmental development of the Northern and Arctic territories of the Russian Federation.

Background/Context Studio-based courses—the primary approach in design education— have been viewed as effective environments for learning. This study uses an ecological approach to explore how the studio environment creates opportunities for social interaction through immersive studies of studio learning. Purpose/Objective/Research Question/Focus of Study We engaged in an ethnographic case study of a beginning architecture design course aimed at exploring the ways the learning environment of the studio affords social interaction, and how these interactions shape students’ understandings and behaviors as they learn. Particular attention was paid to the physical, structural, and instructional affordances that contribute to learning in the studio environment. Setting Over the course of one semester, we observed nine students and their instructor in Architecture Design 1 (AD 1), a first-year architecture studio at a large, public research institution. Population/Participants/Subjects The student participants ranged in age from 18 to 25, four of the participants identified as students of color, two identified as international students, three identified as female, and six, male. The instructor, who identifies as female, had taught AD 1 at the university for eight years prior to the study and holds a master's degree in architecture. Research Design We engaged in an ethnographic case study using an ecological approach, focused on the relationship between humans and their environment. We view learning and knowledge as individually constructed by the learner in a socially situated, public context; as such, a case study design using ethnographic methods of data collection was employed. Data Collection and Analysis Our data sources included observations of daily studio activities, participant interviews, researcher reflections on studio visits, and course artifacts such as the course syllabus and assignment handouts. We analyzed data using a two-cycle method of coding and analysis focusing on identifying patterns or themes in the data. Findings/Results We found several physical, structural, and instructional affordances that contribute to learning. The physical affordances of the studio environment of AD 1 included the open layout, public/private workspaces, and co-working in proximity to others. The structural affordances were long blocks of unscheduled work time, the project brief, and the sequencing of the projects, tasks, and deadlines. The instructional affordances included formal and informal critique, “mini-lectures,” and demonstrations. Conclusions/Recommendations Although focused within a design discipline, our findings have broader applicability to collegiate academic environments that support student learning. Recommendations include creating fluidity in the classroom space, centralizing feedback, demonstrating emerging understandings visually, and constraining constructivist learning environments.

The object of this research is the historical,-cultural and natural environment of historical settlements of the Russian North. The subject of this research is the traditional dwelling as a factor of formation and transformation of the cultural landscape of Onezhskoye Pomorye. The goal lies in studying the peculiarities of formation and transformation of cultural landscape of the rural settlements Onezhskoye Pomorye based on the material of traditional dwelling. The research relies on the empirical data acquired in the course of expedition of the Scientific Center for Traditional Culture and Museum Practices of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences to Onezhsky District of Arkhangelsk Region (2018–2021);archival sources of A.V. Shchusev State Museum of Architecture (Moscow), experience of exploring the monuments of wooden architecture of the open-air museum “Malye Korely” (Arkhangelsk Region). The data were obtained by photofixation of the architectural monuments, schematic measurements, and ethnographic survey conducted among local residents using the method of interview. The research employs the original methodology developed by the Doctor of Culturology A. B. Permilovskaya on the architectural-ethnographic exploration of the sites of wooden architecture. Cultural landscape of Onezhskoye Pomorye (and the Russian North overall) primarily is the landscape of rural historical settlements. Northern settlements emerged in close connection with the natural landscape and transformed it into a cultural one. Special role in this process was played by the local population – the Pomors, who were guided by the principles of creating compact settlements, with closed type of dwelling to due to the harsh climate. The adaptive capabilities of traditional dwelling, reflected in its architectural design, allowed the people to survive in the severe conditions of the North. The dwelling is a reflection of natural space of the Russian North and the Arctic, passed through the “prism” of local mentality and carpenter's culture, coexistence of man and the surrounding natural environment, special marker of the North Russian identity, and intrinsic part of the North Russian cultural landscape.

Purpose. The research reveals the time and routes of field research expeditions of doctor of art history, architect Е. А. Aschepkov in Altai and the Upper Ob region, gives the assessment of conditions and methods of field research, as well as evaluates the source potential of documents of his personal fund in the State Archive of Novosibirsk Region for ethnography of Russian long-term residents. Results. The first expedition of Е. А. Aschepkov evidenced by the documents took place in the South of Western Siberia in the year 1943. The primary attention of the architect was concentrated on long-term residents' architecture characteristic of the Russian population of Rudny Altai. The second expedition in the territory of the present Kamensky district of Altai krai took place in August 1944. The choice was determined by the dominance of groups of the longterm resident Russian population. The result of both expeditions was gathering of significant selection of materials characterizing the elements of material culture of the Russian population connected with the settler body, serviceutility pictures of life in the period of conducting the expeditions, as well as the processes of development of peasant architecture of the years 1930–1940s, considered as consequences of Soviet state policy of influence that changed the layout of the village. Conclusion. The routes of surveyed villages of Altai and the Upper Ob region described in the article allow us to reveal the ethnographic heritage of the material culture of the long-term resident population of two regions – Rudny Altai and Kamenskaya Ob territory. Е. А. Aschepkov’s archive fund has a great source potential both on the ethnic groups of these regions and the methods of his field research work. The results of the research allow us to speak about the necessity of more active use of archive documents containing the information that is not fixed in field research. The interpretation of the expedition work of specialists from interconnected scientific spheres from the ethnographic point of view expands the capabilities of ethnography.

The article is devoted to the review of ethnographic expeditions of the Pereiaslav-Khmelnytskyi State Historical Museum (since 1969 – Pereiaslav-Khmelnytskyi State Historical and Cultural Reserve) to Poltava region in the 1960s–80s. Attention is paid to the prehistory of these expeditions. The topics, composition of participants and results of expeditions are analyzed. It is noted that the main task of these expeditions was to identify monuments of folk architecture for the Museum of Folk Architecture and Life of the Middle Dnieper, as well as to collect items of museum importance for the acquisition of ethnographic collections. The result was the museification of six monuments: a house from the village Kuntseve, Novosanzharsky district, a windmill from the village of Popivka,Khorol district, a shed from the village of Novi Petrivtsi, Myrhorod district, barns from the village of Myrhorod district, barns from the villages of Yakhnyky and Vyshneve of Lokhvytsia district. The conclusion about high efficiency of expeditionary activity of a museum in Poltava region is made. This region has become a priority of the museum’s research activities. According to the scale of collection work in Poltava region, the expeditionary activity of museum workers was second only to the survey of rural settlements of Pereiaslav-Khmelnytskyi district of Kyiv region.

Full textAbstract:
The article covers the expeditionary activities of employees of Pereiaslav-Khmelnytsky State Historical Museum in Cherkasy region in the 1960s–80s. The relevance of the study is determined by the lack of comprehensive scholarly research, which would enable a full-scale historical analysis of the problem.Historical studies of separate regions are a promising area of modern historical science. The attention of regional scholars (historians, ethnologists, sociologists, art critics) is drawn to the processes of regional development in natural-geographic, historical, ethnocultural, political, sociocultural, and other contexts. Understanding the regional specifics of individual territories of the Middle Dnieper Ukraine became an important task of systematic ethnographic field research conducted by Pereiaslav-Khmelnytsky State Historical Museum in the 1960s–70s. This was due to the need to complete the exposition of the newly created Museum of Folk Architecture and Everyday Life of the Middle Dnieper Ukraine with the monuments of folk architecture and ethnographic materials. The first of them, given the territorial proximity, were the studied settlements of Kyiv region. The experience gained encouraged the museum staff to expand the scope of systematic field research. Among the various districts of the Middle Dnieper Ukraine, Cherkasy region was of a local attraction.The article also considers books of orders and periodicals. Attention is paid to periodization, topics, composition of the participants, and results of the expeditions. It is noted that the main task of these expeditions was to collect items of museum value to complete ethnographic collections. The conclusion about the high efficacy of the relevant expeditionary activity of the museum is made.

The Indonesian architectural city growth and development are strongly influenced by their heterogenity of sociocultural lives. each region produces various cultural artifacts that traditionally accommodate cultural concepts and noble values in every social activity and environmental arrangement around it. . This existence makes all provinces and regions of Indonesia have a distinctive building typology as a regional symbol that will be found at the region. The Bandar Lampung City Government has a special policy in managing city architecture by applying its cultural artifacts to every architectural environment and fostering it as a concept of regional cultural signs and symbols. Siger is one of the various regional sign concepts that emerge as an architectural sign on public buildings and their built environment in Bandar Lampung City. The implementation this concept is done with a variety of shapes and sizes that greatly affect the architectural form of the building. This inequality needs to be systematically facilitated through the search of scientific design and architecture to produce an ideal application model. This research was conducted using qualitative ethnographic research methods with analysis based on participant descriptive and argumentative observation. The study aims to identify siger as a sign of culture and reveal the relationship of application to the facade of public building architecture, through the classification of buildings. Furthermore, the design concept and the application model of Siger will be used as a proposal for the city government in managing the order of the architecture facade of public buildings and their environment in a sustainable manner. Key words: architecture of Bandar Lampung City, Siger, model of architectural facade management

Full textAbstract:
Can architecture be treated as an artifact worthy of archaeological analysis? This is a key question that remains unanswered in Gilman's (1987) article on southwestern pit structures and pueblos. The majority of Gilman's article is a cross-cultural ethnographic overview of pit-structure and pueblo use. Gilman takes such a "big-picture" approach that when she finally presents her archaeological data it is insufficient to test her model of architectural change. More importantly, by disregarding temporal changes in prehistoric southwestern pit-structure and pueblo designs, Gilman fails to realize that pit structures and pueblos are architecturally related phenomena during the transition period that is the focus of her research. Pit structures, rather than being independent of pueblos, actually provide the construction dirt with which many of the first pueblos are built.

House is one of human’s three primary needs. It is developed alongside human civilization. Minahasa as a part of that civilization developed vernacular architecture based on their culture’s unique values, meanings, and forms. This article is a part of research concerned in answering the questions of (1) how are the knowledge and technology used by Minahasan to build their vernacular house, (2) how are the shape and form of Minahasan vernacular house in Minahasa’s cultural development, and (3) what are the value and meaning of Minahasan vernacular house for its people. These three questions were being addressed in this research by using qualitative method with ethnographic approach, where every steps and results will be described by interpretation of several patterns from the values, meanings, and forms found in the research process. Ethnography was utilized to see phenomena in this research. The results are identification of values, meaning, and forms development in Minahasan vernacular house.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the study of field ethnographic expeditions, carried out by scientists of Pereiaslav-Khmelnitskyi state historical museum in the 1960s-80s on the territory of the Ukrainian Right-Bank Polissia. It outlines the reasons for conducting these ethnographic studies – the search for architectural monuments and ethnographic objects for the Museum of Folk Architecture and Life of the Middle Dnieper Region – the first skansen in Ukraine. The topicality of the study was determined by the lack of comprehensive scientific research devoted to this problem. The scientific novelty consists in the fact that this topic became the object of independent study for the first time.The main part describes in chronological order the museum’s expeditions to the region under study. To develop the theme, the books of orders of Pereiaslav-Khmelnitskyi state historical museum were used. The topics, periodization, composition of participants, and the results of expeditions are analyzed. It has been found that the expeditions were carried out sporadically, unevenly during different periods of time and in relation to different territories. Especially successful were expeditions to Kyiv Polissia – Borodianka, Ivankiv, Polissia districts of Kyiv region.An assessment of the expeditionary activities of Pereiaslav-Khmelnitskyi state historical museum in the studied direction is given. Conclusions are made about the significant success of the expeditions, in particular, regarding the museumification of seven authentic architectural monuments. The results obtained can be used to prepare generalizing and special studies devoted to one of the most archaic cultural regions of Ukraine – Polissia.

The paper analyzes the changes in the functional and planning solutions of the rural architecture near the river Tom during the period of 1900–1960. The study identifies the main periods of transformation, factors affecting changes in the planning structure of the region, the degree and nature of their influence. The purpose of the paper is to identify the regularities of transformation and analyze the experience of adapting the functional and planning organization in West Siberia to changing economic relations in agriculture: from private ownership to strict state control (a new type of economic conditions) for the period of 1900–1960. The following problems are considered:1. Identification of factors that determine changes in the functional and planning organization of the rural architecture for the specified period.2. Determination of the development stages of the functional and planning organization of the rural architecture.3. Evolution of the nature and structure of the functional and planning organization of the rural architecture.Methodology and approaches involve the literature review, comparative and historical method of determining the architectural styles of the river Tom region for the period of the late 20th century, ethnographic methods of field research to collect the required materials (interviews, surveys, photographs).The research implications determine the nature and results of transformation of functional and planning decisions in the context of Siberian material culture of the 20th century. The theoretical basis of this research is the work of Siberian historians, architects and ethnographers.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents the results of a theoretical study of architectural taste as an architectural and psychological phenomenon, its factors and role in architectural education and practice. The peculiarity of architectural taste is facilitated by gustosology – complex science about aesthetic taste, its nature, peculiarities of formation and function in public life, role in the development of the general culture of personality and society generally. It is determined that architectural taste is an aesthetic pleasure derived from individual patterns of architecture preferences, which has an intellectual character, associated with the result of reasoning, sequence of evaluation and quick judgement, through which a non-trivial result is achieved by the proportionality of beauty. It was established that according to the theoretical research, the differences of architectural taste depend on factors: 1) professional and artistic (inherent to specialists – architects, designers and depends on the level of education and culture of a particular person); 2) sexual (for example, female tastes are more emotionally colored, more sensitive; they are mainly found in the design of the interiors of buildings); 3) national (hence – English, French taste); 4) ethnographic (for example, Hutsul style); 5) social (belonging to the noble family); 6) own and borrowed tastes (unification of tastes under the influence of fashion); 7) ecological (reflectses human’s attitude to the preservation and development of the eco-system); 8) educational (the study of tastes concerns the process of their formation in educational institutions); 9) physiological (perception of architecture); 10) psychological (temperament; psychological types of people by K. G. Jung according to the types of drawings of architectural objects (by Vinogradova E. I. and Barabanov A. A.). It is confirmed that architectural taste is formed throughout the life, and therefore may change. The results of the research are valuable for: theories of architecture; architectural education – for better understanding of students-architects by teachers of higher education institutions; for architectural practice in the field of urbanism and urban planning, as well as in work with customers; for the further experimental research, in particular, the identification of typology of architectural tastes of individuals and their psychological characteristics, which will be presented in the next publications of the author.

Full textAbstract:
In 2013, an archaeological and ethnographic expedition of the Scientific Research Institute of Culture LLP explored the southern regions of Kazakhstan. The main priority was given to field research on the issues of archaeology, ethnography, culture and art of nomads. In the village of Karnak, Turkestan Region, unique tombstones were discovered, which are an integral component of the moral foundations of Muslim culture. Karnak necropolis is located in the northern part of the village of the same name and covers more than 3 hectares of area, the main part of which is occupied by modern memorial complexes of the 20th century. The researchers' interest was aroused by a part of the Karnak cemetery, where monuments of funerary and cult architecture of the late Middle Ages and modern times were located. The novelty of this study is associated with an attempt to clarify a number of provisions in the study of the funeral and cult architecture of South Kazakhstan. Many people believe that traditional burial and cult architecture has survived only in the western regions of the republic. Nevertheless, the Karnak memorial complex studied for the first time and the materials contained in it prove that an attempt to reconstruct the history of the tombstones, identify its origins, the factors that caused the formation of various attributes are still far from being solved. The study of burial and cult architecture in the context of Muslim archaeology makes it possible to solve a number of issues in the humanities dedicated to the memorial complex and folk craft, including the stone-cutting art of the southern regions of Kazakhstan.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper we argue that the normal work of practitioners engaged in the design and use of information systems involves socio-technical reflections on these systems that are essentially symmetrical to the reflections that we social scientists make in our ethnographic observations of those actors and their systems. This has important consequences for research methods because it shifts ethnographic fieldwork amongst such practitioners from a ‘study of’ a given community or project towards an entangled process of semi-collective reflection on these systems and practices. To articulate this reframing, we first explore the notion of “infrastructural inversion” to show how information infrastructure studies has always in theory understood actors and analysts to be both doing infrastructural analyses, and we extend this insight to our understanding of ethnographic fieldwork and methods. Next, we relate two of our recent fieldwork experiences amongst designers of information systems in the sciences to show practically how, through the course of research, we became entangled with our subjects through the sharing of notes and analytical insights, engaging in jointly authored papers and otherwise collectively making sense of the partially connected worlds in which we work. Finally, we move to a discussion of what we see are the entailments of this reframing of fieldwork, focusing on how all of this changes our understandings of collaboration and reflexivity in ethnography. Overall we suggest that our frame promotes an attunement to the field as a place of heterogenous engagements rather than simple observation, and asks the fieldworker to be both conceptually and ethically open to the possibilities and consequences of collaboration with those that they study.

Here we present a translation of paragraphs concerning the saunas of the Estonians, Livonians and Latvians, as described in the Doctoral thesis “Bastu och torkhus i Nordeuropa” (“Saun ja kuivati Põhja-Euroopas”, 1960) written by the ethnographer and writer llmar Talve, who studied the culture and history of various nations. The Doctoral thesis summarises ethnographical sources describing saunas assembled mainly during the time of the Republic of Estonia (1918–1940), providing also a comprehensible overview for the Swedes.
Ilmar Talve (17.01.1919–21.04.2007) studied ethnography, folklore and literature in Tartu University, graduating cum laude in 1942 after his Master’s studies with a research paper on burning tar and coal in Estonia. While studying he also worked in the Estonian National Museum from 1940 on. After the war he worked in the Stockholm Ethnography Institute and continued his studies at the University of Stockholm. After defending his Doctoral thesis in 1960, he applied for the position of the ethnography professor in University of Turku. He conducted thorough ethnographic research in Finland, Sweden and Estonia.
In Sweden, Talve mainly worked with local ethnographical materials, integrating it with his interest in Estonian ethnography. It may be assumed that the central barnhouse theme in Estonian farm architecture encouraged Talve to study heated ancillary buildings in rural areas in Sweden and neighbouring countries more thoroughly. In 1960, a thorough research paper containing two parts was completed, of which one part (his Doctoral thesis of 1960) focused on the saunas and driers of Northern Europe, while the other part focused on threshing barns in North-East Europe (“Den nordost-europeiska rian: en etnologisk undersökning”, published in 1961). In both parts, references to Estonian vernacular architecture can be found.
In his Doctoral thesis, Talve explained that he focused on ethnographic auxiliary buildings of Sweden and other northern countries (primarily in Norway and Finland) used for drying and washing like bastu (‘drier’ or also a ‘washing house’) and kölna (‘grain drier’). He wanted to study their historical development, their various types, layout solutions, constructions, heating appliances, functions and other ethnological data. Buildings constructed during the period of 1850–1900 were the ones observed.
He used comparative examples of architectural heritage in several other European and nearby areas in order to make conclusions about different aspects of the construction and the usage history of saunas and driers.
The main source for the ethnographical study is material collected from country people during the first decades of the 20th century. The author used archive materials from Norway and Finland (data from fieldwork, questionnaire sheets) and his own field work materials. For other regions, he used the existing and available literature.
In case of the Doctoral thesis concerning mainly Sweden, Finland and Norway, it is important for us to trace the difference between the words denoting the sauna. While the Finnish word sauna means a washing sauna familiar to us, then the Swedish bastu may historically mean a building for drying agricultural products as well as the washing sauna. The latter was rather rare in Sweden. To distinguish the function of washing one’s body in the auxiliary building, in his Doctoral thesis Talve used the term badbastu – washing sauna. The situation was similar with the threshing barns: for Swedes, rian denotes a threshing barn, not the multifunctional barnhouse as we know it. In Sweden village life was conducted differently.
In addition to the name of the building, he also gathered information about its position in the farm yard, the material of its walls, saunas dug in the ground, anteroom or its absence, building a sauna together with auxiliary buildings, the shape and the covering material of the roof, the most widespread solutions of ceilings and floors, the method of letting smoke out, the location of the bathhouse platform and the pile of stones on top of the stove, the location of the hearth opening, and the details of piling the stones.
An overview of sauna usage then follows: when was the sauna used (by days of the week and according to holidays), family traditions: did men and women go to sauna separately or all together, the sauna as a place for ritual washing, healing and giving birth. Smoking meat, using the sauna as a dwelling and a shed for animals, one sauna used by several families and a place where young people came together (kildsann, istjad). An overview is given of the information in earlier written sources, comprising very interesting information about older saunas located in towns.
The same plan is followed in the overview of Livonian and Latvian saunas, depending naturally on the reference sources available to the author at that time.
If you are interested to know more of Ilmar Talve’s work dedicated to the Estonian sauna, you may read his book “Virolainen sauna” (“Estonian sauna”), which was published in 1960 – the same year as his Doctoral thesis – in the University of Turku.

Neither a ‘hospital’ nor a ‘home’; the in-patient hospice has a unique architectural identity remaining largely undocumented. There is a plethora of architectural research regarding more common-place healthcare buildings such as hospitals and care-homes. (RIBA n.d) However the architecture of in-patient hospices is misunderstood in the role it can play in supporting the holistic principles of palliative care as backdrops for ‘not just a good death but a good life to the very end’ (Gawande 2014, pg. 245).Reconciling the social and spatial this research aims to establish an authentic identity for in-patient hospices; developing opportunities and situations for environments that become ‘sympathetic extensions of our sense of ourselves’ (Bloomer KC + Moore CW 1977, pg. 78) enabling those at the end of their life to dwell with dignity.An ethnographic study involving practise led design research; the research engages with experiences of the researcher and users of Welsh in-patient hospices alongside interrogations of existing architectural strategies. This inter-disciplinary methodology will provide a ‘back and forth’ movement to reflect with the community of practise upon design projects and fieldwork.Foundation work concluded that ‘homely’ is a too broad and subjective concept with which to define meaningful architectural responses for the variety of users and uses of in-patient hospices. Building upon this initial visits to Welsh in-patient hospices and design primers of key moments of inhabitation aims to provide conclusions on how architecture can create and balance the individual phenomenological experiences and needs of patients family and staff.References.

Though the concept of an ethnographic open-air museum is not a new one, little is known about the interplay between a visitor and an amalgam museum setting. Ethnographic open-air museums are complex spaces with shared qualities of outdoor sites and indoor museums. Grounded in Gibson’s theory of affordances (1979), the article explores how visitors interact within and in relation to the hybrid space of ethnographic open-air museum and how communication shapes their interactions. The analysis is based on a qualitative study of visitors in the Belarusian State Museum of Folk Architecture and Rural Lifestyle (Aziartso, Belarus) and the Open-Air Museum of Lithuania (Rumšiškės, Lithuania). The data were collected using participatory observation and semistructured interviews with visitors. The article employs a constructivist approach and conceptualizes an ethnographic museum as a free-choice environment, where behavior patterns are linked to the institutional context and the visitors’ ability to perceive the information about the objects and environments that specified the possibilities and constraints for interacting with the museum’s space. The study reveals how cultural communication fosters the diversity of visiting scenarios and the perceptions of ethnographic open-air museums as cultural heritage sites, natural parks and stages for entertainment. The implications of this research could be relevant to cultural policymakers and communication specialists in designing the cultural, recreational and educational policies of museums.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents the preliminary results of the architectural and ethnographic survey of the Varzuga settlement. The subject of the study is the traditional complex-houses in the cultural landscape of the rural historical settlements of the Terskoye Pomorye. The purpose is to determine the place and role of the house in the space of a modern Pomorye settlement; to identify the architectural and structural features, layout and decor of the dwelling as an ethnomarker of Russians in the North and the Arctic. The research is based on empirical material obtained during expedition survey in 2022 in the Tersky district of the Murmansk region. Also, it is based on the application of the author's methodology of the Doctor of Sciences (Culturology) A.B. Permilovskaya on architectural and ethnographic survey of wooden architecture objects. The author concludes that the Varzuga dwelling is a more compact version of the “brus” (beam), which is found in the settlements of the southern coast of the White Sea. The main constructive difference is that the “back” hut here is adjacent not to a cold barn, but to a significantly reduced utility yard, and has its own “main” facade overlooking the back of the house. However, in general, even a significantly rebuilt house retains its place as a factor in the formation of the cultural landscape of the settlement, bears the features of the continuity of ancient carpentry traditions, and in its laconic decor contains cultural meanings that reflect the mentality of the local Pomors population.

In the article, I attempt to estimate the number of inhabitants of Neo-Babylonian households based on archaeological data based on the example of Babylon (Neo-Babylonian period: 1100/1000–539 BCE). In order to discover how the household or an individual room was used, we must reconstruct the way that a household functioned. However, since no households can be found in archaeological research, it is necessary to turn to ethnographic sources. The article has been divided into three parts. The first part contains key information on households in the Neo-Babylonian period, indicated on the basis of ethnographic sources and compared with archaeological remains. In the second part of the article, I analyse various mathematical formulas used to calculate the number of residents on the basis of archaeological data. The third part comprises a discussion presenting my own mathematical formulas regarding the collected data.

Full textAbstract:
Kampung Kusamba Village is a relatively small size village in the Bali Island with a majority Muslim population. The village area is surrounded by villages that are predominantly Hindu. The Kampung Kusamba is an example that tolerance in social life is actualized. This research emphasizes on documenting tolerance between Kampung Kusamba dwellers with the Balinese through architectural forms and folklores, myths, or any other oral histories. The research method used is qualitative. Data were collected using a purposive approach, utilizing an in-depth interview technique to resource persons and photographic surveyed for architectural forms. The analysis was carried out descriptively using an ethnographic domain analysis technique approach. Preliminary findings from this study were that physical architectural features that reflect the local culture are the same or almost the same as Balinese architecture. A form of tolerance was also found in the form of artifacts that reflected the diversity of the population of Kampung Kusamba in the past. Oral histories of the past as a manifestation of the intangible landscape also showed the attitude and tolerance of the people of Kampung Kusamba and the people who live in Bali respectively. Moreover, there was also a story that shows the position and special relationship of Kampung Kusamba with Klungkung Royal.

This study examines the ethnography studies of communication with HIV-infected children at Rumah Cemara Bandung by reviewing the elements of communication components. This research uses a qualitative approach with an ethnographic type of communication study. The research subjects were children infected with HIV in Bandung who was selected using the purposive method. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, document analysis, and literature study. The results revealed that the genre in the communication component of children infected with HIV at Rumah Cemara was seen in the delivery of problems, namely the presence of viral infections in children. The setting that occurs in the communication component is carried out at the child's home/residence and Rumah Cemara as a community location and Klinik Teratai, Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung. Children use Indonesian and Sundanese as their daily languages. All HIV-infected children are infected with the virus because it is transmitted from their parents, namely the mother, and the mother is infected with HIV from her husband. Conversations that are usually carried out by informants when meeting at Klinik Teratai, Rumah Cemara, and at home are usually related to conditions of health development, children's adherence to taking anti-retroviral drugs, and mental and social development of children with messages of mutual encouragement and support as well as instilling a sense of optimism.

The paper tests the methodology of architectural and ethnographic research of the object of material culture-a masterpiece of world architecture of the Roman Pantheon. The method involves performing the proportional-metrological analysis of the forms using the results of three-dimensional laser scanning. The sequence of actions allowing receiving extremely reliable dimensional drawings of necessary elements of an architectural monument is presented. The analysis suggests that the design metrological module of the Pantheon was a Roman foot of 0.445 m. A detailed analysis of the size of the rotunda plan made it possible to confirm the hypothesis that the design was based on the use of an integer analogue of the number "PI" - fraction 22/7. In addition, an integer right triangle 5: 12: 13 could be used to construct the right angle and to determine the basic proportions of the elements of the facade of the portico. Apparently, in the process of designing the forms of the Pantheon, the method of harmonizing elements on the basis of the similarity method with a change in their scale was used.

Full textAbstract:
Since 2004, archaeological, ethnographic, and archival investigations at the ex-hacienda San Miguel Acocotla in Atlixco, Puebla, Mexico, have explored the lives of indigenous workers who toiled at the hacienda from 1577 through the twentieth-century Mexican Revolution. The aim of this project is to understand the ways in which incorporation into an industrial capitalist system impacted individual and community identity. This report presents a summary of the archaeological components of the project. Research focused on the area of worker housing, the calpanería, in an effort to expand our understandings of the conditions of daily life of the hacienda's indigenous workers. I describe the completed fieldwork and summarize the results of studies of nineteenth-century domestic architecture andfoodways. These data challenge assumptions about the quotidian experiences of hacienda laborers, often made using incomplete historical records, and allow us to connect the ethnographic present with the prehispanic past by illuminating the transformative processes at work in rural Mexico during the last quarter of the nineteenth century.

Full textAbstract:
Eco-architecture is a concept that places architectural designs in harmony with nature. This study explores a broad application of this concept in a traditional settlement of Lasaen Village, Malaka Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. In doing so, it correlates customs, norms, communal lifestyle, and spatial tradition with the eco concept. This study uses a qualitative research method with an ethnographic approach. Analysis within is underlined by a view proposed by Dinur that outlines three parameters in measuring the accommodation of eco-architectural concepts in building design. These include fluctuation, stratification, and interdependence, which in this study are respectively used to measure eco-architectural practices in eleven uma (home) of the Lasaen Village. Building design elements that are examined in this context embrace: building form and structure, the use of natural energy, the use of local building materials, the inclusion of openings and natural lights, impermeable walls and floors, pitch and hollow roofs, and detailed construction. This study demonstrates that the architecture of Lasaen Village, especially its homes, has applied the eco-architecture concept.

Patients with inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs) were recruited from two understudied populations: Mexico and Pakistan as well as a third well-studied population of European Americans to define the genetic architecture of IRD by performing whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Whole-genome analysis was performed on 409 individuals from 108 unrelated pedigrees with IRDs. All patients underwent an ophthalmic evaluation to establish the retinal phenotype. Although the 108 pedigrees in this study had previously been examined for mutations in known IRD genes using a wide range of methodologies including targeted gene(s) or mutation(s) screening, linkage analysis and exome sequencing, the gene mutations responsible for IRD in these 108 pedigrees were not determined. WGS was performed on these pedigrees using Illumina X10 at a minimum of 30X depth. The sequence reads were mapped against hg19 followed by variant calling using GATK. The genome variants were annotated using SnpEff, PolyPhen2, and CADD score; the structural variants (SVs) were called using GenomeSTRiP and LUMPY. We identified potential causative sequence alterations in 61 pedigrees (57%), including 39 novel and 54 reported variants in IRD genes. For 57 of these pedigrees the observed genotype was consistent with the initial clinical diagnosis, the remaining 4 had the clinical diagnosis reclassified based on our findings. In seven pedigrees (12%) we observed atypical causal variants, i.e. unexpected genotype(s), including 4 pedigrees with causal variants in more than one IRD gene within all affected family members, one pedigree with intrafamilial genetic heterogeneity (different affected family members carrying causal variants in different IRD genes), one pedigree carrying a dominant causative variant present in pseudo-recessive form due to consanguinity and one pedigree with a de-novo variant in the affected family member. Combined atypical and large structural variants contributed to about 20% of cases. Among the novel mutations, 75% were detected in Mexican and 50% found in European American pedigrees and have not been reported in any other population while only 20% were detected in Pakistani pedigrees and were not previously reported. The remaining novel IRD causative variants were listed in gnomAD but were found to be very rare and population specific. Mutations in known IRD associated genes contributed to pathology in 63% Mexican, 60% Pakistani and 45% European American pedigrees analyzed. Overall, contribution of known IRD gene variants to disease pathology in these three populations was similar to that observed in other populations worldwide. This study revealed a spectrum of mutations contributing to IRD in three populations, identified a large proportion of novel potentially causative variants that are specific to the corresponding population or not reported in gnomAD and shed light on the genetic architecture of IRD in these diverse global populations.

Mathematics is found in many activities of traditional culture. However, many perceive that mathematics is culture-free. Based on the occurring phenomenon, ethnomathematics study is made as the connector between mathematics and culture. The presence of ethnomathematics provides many opportunities to discover unique mathematical ideas exist in the traditional culture. This research aims to explore mathematical ideas in the layout of tui gubuk and the architecture of Segenter traditional house that can be made as mathematics learning sources. This study was a qualitative research with ethnographic method. This study was conducted in the traditional village of Segenter, Sukadana Village, Bayan District. Data were collected through an observation and interviews with Adat figures, cultural anthropologists, and traditional leaders who have the knowledge of the customs and culture of Bayan people, which consisted of three informants. Research results indicate that there are mathematical ideas in the layout of tui gubuk and the architecture of Segenter traditional house that can be made as the learning sources of mathematics and can be developed in mathematics learning, especially in materials of set and geometry, both geometry of space and flat geometry.

Traditional folk architecture on Tara mountain, generally speaking, belongs to cultural areal of traditional building of dinarska brvnara type, i.e. building made of wood. In direct connection with Zlatibor mountain, where we can find some of the best examples of vernacular architecture, traditional building on Tara mountain does not show any specificity but at the same time does not lag behind comparison with other regions with the same type of building. In this paper we are presenting results of ethnographic field research in traditional folk construction of economic buildings. The field research was accomplished during years 2015 and 2016 in villages on Tara. The emphasis is on the economic buildings which are directly derived from structure of economic activities of rural population and we are taking into account both traditional and contemporary economic buildings. In this paper basic forms of organisation of space in households are presented as well. Preliminary analysis of the economic buildings on Tara shows that they clearly follow needs of traditional economy, needs which are determined with the culture of social organization as well as with the structure of economic organization. Construction and architecture of economic buildings also points out that they are on high utilitarian level and that they can represent relations between some economic activities.

In the 1940s-1970s, the ethnographic study of the territory of the modern Republic of Altai was conducted by both ethnographers and representatives of the neighboring sciences. During this period the population of the Altai Mountains became the object of field research of art historians and specialists from the Research Institute of Art Industry (hereinafter referred to as NIIHP). The publication aims to show the contribution of the staff of the Art Industry Research Institute to the study of the Turkic-speaking population of the south of Western Siberia within the historical boundaries of Altai Krai. The publication aims to reveal the routes and results of expeditions on the territory of the Altai Republic to study arts and crafts and decorative-applied art of the indigenous population of the Altai Mountains. The main source base for the research is the archival funds of the Scientific Research Institute of Arts and Crafts, most of which have remained in the All-Russian Museum of Decorative-Applied and Folk Art (hereinafter referred to as VNIIHP). The basis is formed by the reports on scientific topics and business trips, as well as visual sources (sketches, photographs, drawings of artists). The source base created by the staff of the NIIHP is not only varied but also of very high quality due to the high professionalism of the staff artists and photographers of the Institute who participated in the expeditions. The territory of the modern Republic of Altai was covered by the fieldwork of 4 expeditions in the 1950s (1951, 1954, 1955) and one in 1979. The initial interest of the researchers in studying this territory was in the culture of the Turkic-speaking population, Turkic traditions of carpet-weaving, and ornamentation. The main objects of research were the architecture of houses, domestic utensils, clothes, shoes, as well as ornaments, and weaving items. The field expeditionary activity of NIIHP is very important for the study of ethnography of the Turkicspeaking peoples in the south of Western Siberia and opens great potential for its further research in different fields of ethnographic science. The expeditions resulted in the collection of a considerable amount of illustrative material, not introduced into scientific circulation and not analyzed from the standpoint of ethnography Expeditions included the acquisition of exhibits for the Museum of Folk Art of the NIIHP, including those of the Turkic-speaking peoples of the south of Western Siberia, which can be used for research on various topics. Also of interest for researchers are the materials of analytical reports of the NIIHP staff, which can be used for comparison of the results and further analysis.

To what extent do we need structuralist cognitive settlement models such as the Central Cattle Pattern and the Zimbabwe Pattern for future research and understanding of Iron Age social life in southern Africa? How will alternative approaches enable us to progress beyond the present status of knowledge? While the three last decades of debate have underpinned key aspects of archaeological inquiry, notably questions of social change, gender dynamics, analytical scale and the use of ethnographic and ethnoarchaeological insights, the sometimes entrenched nature of the debate has in other respects hindered development of new approaches and restrained the range of themes and topics scholars engage with. In this article, we identify the issues of analytical scale and recursiveness as key to the development of future approaches and present an alternative framework through empirically grounded discussion of three central Iron Age themes: ceramics and the microscale, the spatiality of metal production and the temporality of stonewalled architecture.

Mills located on the waterways of Ukraine still remain little-explored architectural monuments. The main waterway of Podillya is Southern Bug River, which is quite fast and overflowing. Being associated with the activities of mankind, the water mill was not only an industrial object, but also mythological and mysterious and had a distinctive architecture and bright decorated facades, which often distinguished it from other buildings in the city. The mill in Medzhibozh on the Southern Bug is the oldest building in the region. M. Hrushevsky pointed out the important fortification function of the mill during the siege of the city. F. Vovk and M. Sumtsov studied mills as an ethnographic component of people's life, and according to S. Taranushenko, mills together with bell towers and churches determined the nature of Ukrainian monumental folk architecture and were the main accents in village or city planning. Modern researches by M. Dolynska and R. Mohytych localize topography and investigate economic significance of mills. The Medzhibizh mill stands in the area of the upper Pobuzhye in the zone of flooding of the Southern Bug and Buzhok rivers in a wide swampy ravine. Iconography and cartography depicting the mill is uncommon, from the first drawing to reproduction in postcards and photographs there are about 10 fixations. The water mill in Medzhibozh, Khmelnytsky region, which is now in a terrible state, was explored in the summer of 2019 by an expedition of Kharkiv National University of Construction and Architecture led by PhD in architecture I.R. Akmen, T.D. Kutsenko, M.V. Rusanova. Research of the object aw well as architectural and archeological measurements are stored in the archives of the State Historical and Cultural Reserve "Mezhibizh". According to the existing appearance of the dilapidated mill with the remains of industrial culture, carrying out historical and architectural-archaeological research, as well as looking at the iconographic material, it was determined that from its inception to the state of the XXI century. the construction of the mill went through four stages: the period of active construction of the city by Mykola Senyavsky and the time of the Polish-Turkish wars (1540–1699); the period of activity of the Senyavsky family, who restored the castle and fortifications (1699–1727); the period of the Czartoryski economy and the transfer of Medzhibozh to a military unit of the Russian Empire (1730–1941); period of perestroika in the postwar period to the end of the XXbeginning of the XXI century.

Abstract This study examines the influence of modernity on residential buildings as a new form of expansion built during the Jordanian Rule (1948–1967) outside the Old City of East Jerusalem. Through investigating a sample of houses, the study shows how building typologies, layouts and architectural characteristics depict and inform reinterpretations and adaptations of modernity. Unlike the modernity that emerged out of the western locus, these buildings do not ignore their vernacular roots but adapt to the Palestinian socio-cultural lifestyle, and at the same time borrow from the aesthetic and ideological characteristics of the modern idiom. Based on architectural documentation and ethnographic research, the analyses show that the peasants (Fallahin) made an important contribution to the adaptive modernity of residential buildings in East Jerusalem. The designs were influenced by some aspects of modernity but were also subject to local and cultural determinants. The study contributes to the literature on ‘other modernities’ outside the west, and to an architectural history that is informed by people’s private and individual experience rather than by those working in the profession. This is considered to be a neglected heritage that this article aims to redress.

In this paper, we explore what architectural practice and, more specifically, the architectural research domain, may gain from the theoretical and methodological premise of anthropology and ethnography. The paper explores a historical link between anthropology and architecture as academic disciplines, arguing that the disciplines are aligned through anthropology’s search for understanding the conditions of humanity and architecture’s role in forming these very conditions. We do not intend to explicate the individual disciplines but are interested in the crossover between the two and, more specifically, what insights anthropology and ethnography may offer to the discipline of architecture. We consider the relationship between anthropology and architecture, as both a research domain and a profession, and question how anthropology—as an approach to research more so than a discipline—can contribute to the advancement of architectural practice and research.

This article outlines a novel way of performing experimental“Wizard of Oz”(WOz) User Experience (UX)research that specifically targets driving in different levels of self-driving modes. The reasons for exploring the possibilities of combining experimental and ethnographic WOz-testing have been twofold. On the one hand, this mixed-method approach responds to a growing body of critique concerning how the WOz test is biased by the claim that it explores real-life behaviour in an experimental setting. On the other hand,our approach also meets the demands for innovative research methodologies that can contribute to deeper understandings of how to better evaluate and account for human expectations and experiences when automated technologies become integrated in everyday life contexts. This knowledge is inevitable for a broader understanding of the overall user experience and expectations of autonomous driving and, more specifically, building an interdisciplinary collaborative testing approach.
