Abstract:
Stone wall terraces are a largely investigated topic in research for both their landscape and cultural/historical value. Terraces are anthropogenic landforms that interact with natural processes and need permanent maintenance to preserve their functionality. In the Mediterranean region, ground effects related to intense rain events often involve terraced slopes that, in some situations, are directly sourced areas of debris/mud flow. Starting from the 1950s, the changing socio-economic conditions caused the abandonment of large portions of rural areas. Nowadays, at the catchment scale, it is frequently difficult recognizing stone wall terraces because of their abandonment and the uncontrolled re-vegetation. This research faces the issue of identifying terraces in the Monte di Portofino promontory, which is internationally famous for its high-value natural and landscape involving broad anthropogenic modifications dating back to the Middle Ages. A remote sensing application, with LIDAR data and orthophotography, identified terraces on the Portofino promontory, enabling investigating even barely accessible areas and increasing knowledge on the territory. The aim of this paper is first of all to point out the presence of such anthropogenic morphologies in the promontory of Monte di Portofino and then to asses and highlight the related hazard. In fact, terraces can be a source of debris/hyper-concentrated flow with highly damaging power, as occurred in the recent years in neighboring areas during particularly intense hydrological events. Then, terraced area mapping, including in use and in abandonment information, is crucial to perform a spatial relationship analysis that includes hazard-exposed elements and to evaluate the possible connectivity factor of buildings, infrastructures, tourism facilities and Cultural Heritage within the hydrographical network.

Abstract:
In the member states of the European Union (EU), nearly-Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB) are becoming mandatory building practice in 2021. It is stated, that nZEB should be cost-optimal and the energy performance levels should be re-defined after every five years. We conducted cost-optimality analyses for two detached houses, one terraced house and one apartment building in Estonia. The analysis consisted on actual construction cost data collection based on bids of variable solutions for building envelope, air tightness, windows, heat supply systems and local renewable energy production options. For energy performance analysis we used dynamic simulation software IDA-ICE. To assess cost-effectiveness, we used Net Present Value (NPV) calculations with the assessment period of 30 years. The results for cost-optimal energy performance level for detached house with heated space of ~100 m2 was 79 kWh/(m2 a), for the larger house (~200 m2) 87 kWh/(m2 a), for terraced house with heated space of ~600 m2 71 kWh/(m2 a) and for the apartment building 103 kWh/(m2 a) of primary energy including all energy use with domestic appliances. Thus, the decrease in cost-optimal level in a five-year period was ~60% for the detached house and ~40% for the apartment building, corresponding to a shift in two EPC classes.

Abstract:
With the introduction of mechanization in agriculture, the area of terraced slopes has increased. However, in most cases, the planning of terracing in practice remains experience-based, which is no longer effective from an agricultural, geological, and hydrological point of view. The usual method of building terraces, especially terraces with earth risers, is therefore outdated, and a new method must be found for planning and building terraced areas. In addition to geographical information system (GIS) tools, parametric design tools for planning terraced landscapes are now available. Based on the design approaches for a selected plot in the Gorizia Hills in Slovenia, where we used a trial-and-error method, we improved previous results by defining a model using a computer algorithm that generates a terraced landscape on a selected slope depending on various input parameters such as the height of the terrace slope, the inclination of the terrace slope, the width of the terrace platform, and the number of terraces. For the definition of the algorithm we used the visual program tool Grasshopper. By changing the values of the input data parameters, the algorithm was able to present combinatorial simulations through a variety of different solutions with all the corresponding statistics. With such results it is much easier to make a conscious decision on which combination of parameters is optimal to prevent landslides, plan adequate drainage, and control soil movements when building terraces. The controlled slope intervention is further optimized by the introduction of a usage index (Tx), defined as the quotient of the sum of all flat areas (terrace platforms) and the total area of the plot.

Abstract:
Residential masonry buildings represent a large stock among highly vulnerable structures in medium–high seismic hazard areas, often built without any anti-seismic provisions. Their rehabilitation and/or strengthening according to optimised intervention strategies is topical and may contribute to revaluating zones characterized by depopulation phenomena. In this paper, a terraced building struck by the 2016 Central Italy earthquake is analysed through a frame by macro element (FME) model. The building is composed of six two-storey units made of stone and clay block masonry walls and semi-rigid diaphragms. The numerical model was calibrated based on the damage pattern caused by the earthquake and then used to carry out parametric analyses on the strengthened conditions by simulating both one unit and the entire terrace. The effects of interventions applied to either vertical or horizontal components, both singularly and in combination, were analysed in terms of nonlinear static analyses, and quantified by a performance factor, according to the upgraded seismic code in Italy. Kinematic analyses also completed the assessment of the building. Results compared the capacity of interventions in attaining the targets defined for improvement at both local and overall levels.

Abstract:
Contemporary research stresses the need to reduce mankind’s environmental impacts and achieve sustainability. One of the keys to this is the construction sector. New buildings have to comply with strict limits regarding resource consumption (energy, water use, etc.). However, they make up only a fraction of the existing building stock. Renovations of existing buildings are therefore essential for the reduction of the environmental impacts in the construction sector. This paper illustrates the situation using a case study of a rural terraced house in a village near Brno, Czech Republic. It compares the life-cycle assessment (LCA) of the original house and its proposed renovation as well as demolition followed by new construction. The LCA covers both the initial embodied environmental impacts (EEIs) and the 60-year operation of the house with several variants of energy sources. The results show that the proposed renovation would reduce overall environmental impacts (OEIs) of the house by up to 90% and the demolition and new construction by up to 93% depending on the selected energy sources. As such, the results confirm the importance of renovations and the installation of environmentally-friendly energy sources for achieving sustainability in the construction sector. They also show the desirability of the replacement of inefficient old buildings by new construction in specific cases.

Abstract:
Revised EPBD directive has set ambitious targets for nearly zero energy buildings. In residential buildings, energy performance can be improved mainly by applying better insulation of building fabric and by efficient energy sources, i.e. heat pumps. Electricity use and peak powers will increase when heat pumps, both air to water and ground source heat pumps, are used for heat source in new residential buildings compared to heating solutions that do not use electricity. The purpose of this study was to determine how much the high performance thermal insulation can compensate the increase of electricity use and peak power caused by extensive application of heat pumps in Finland residential buildings. The present study used five residential buildings that describe residential newbuild market. Finnish regulation defines minimum insulation level and high performance insulation level which were applied to single family houses, terraced house and apartment buildings to simulate electric power values all year round. Hourly electrical power values were simulated with dynamic simulation software IDA ICE. Results show that electricity use and peak powers are rising significantly when heat pumps are used, but better insulation level significantly decreases or even fully compensates the amount of additional electric power. The results can be used for the assesment of implications of extensive use of heat pumps to power grid.

Abstract:
Due to increasing urbanization, the need for sustainable housing, e.g., sustainable timber housing, is increasing in Finland, as in other countries. Understanding residents’ perceptions plays a critical role in the transition to sustainable housing as an important part of the forest-based bioeconomy. This study examined the change over time in Finnish residents’ attitudes towards multi-story timber apartment buildings. To do this, findings from surveys among residents in 1998–1999 and 2017 were compared with each other. Results mainly highlighted that: (1) residents’ attitudes towards timber apartment buildings remained positive over time; (2) participants of both surveys were satisfied with functionality of the apartment unit, immediate surroundings of the building, and number of furnishings and appliances; (3) positive perception regarding sound insulation, indoor climate, and coziness did not change over time; (4) dominant preferences to move to detached and one-or-two story terraced houses gradually gave way to two-story housing and apartment buildings; (5) demand for more timber inside the building and more timber apartments continued over time; and (6) while fire and environmental properties were evaluated positively, impact sound insulation was still seen as a problem. These findings will assist in understanding contemporary housing needs and provide a direction to relevant stakeholders for Finnish housing development.

Abstract:
Abstract A change in livelihood and folk architecture is an indicator of cultural landscape transformation, which is often the result of changes occurring in the natural and socio-political realms. The diversity of architectural types of buildings as an element of landscape diversity distinguishes our research region. The presented study deals with a long-term change of housing and architectural types of settlements. Our goal was to identify, geolocalise, and classify the vernacular architecture of Samtskhe-Javakheti within the different types of natural landscapes. For this purpose, we used the HGIS (Historical Geoinformation System) approach, which comprises the application of both historic sources and GIS technologies. We identified seven types of buildings in the study area, the characteristics of which depended on the natural landscape features. The following factors had been determining the geography of the construction: geology, seismicity, terrain, climate, access to building materials and defence. Dominant architectural types of buildings in the study region were as follows: fortress Rabat with stone houses, stone houses, semi-underground houses mixed with stone houses, semi-underground houses, terraced semi-underground houses, cave dwellings and wooden log houses. In modern times, it is quite rare to come across these kinds of architectural buildings, and there is a tendency of their disappearance.

Abstract:
The provision requirement of 10% openings of the total floor area stated in the Uniform Building By-Law 1984 Malaysia is essential for natural lighting and ventilation purposes. However, focusing on natural ventilation, the effectiveness of thermal performance in landed residential buildings has never been empirically measured and proven, as most of the research emphasized simulation modeling lacking sufficient empirical validation. Therefore, this paper drawing on field measurement investigates natural ventilation performance in terraced housing with an air-well system. The key concern as to what extent the current air-well system serving as a ventilator is effective to provide better thermal performance is to be addressed. By adopting an existing single-story air-welled terrace house, indoor environmental conditions and thermal performance were monitored and measured using HOBO U12 air temperature and humidity, the HOBO U12 anemometer, and the Delta Ohm HD32.3 Wet Bulb Globe Temperature meter for a six-month duration. The results show that the air temperature of the air well ranged from 27.48 °C to 30.92 °C, with a mean relative humidity of 72.67% to 79.25%. The mean air temperature for a test room (single-sided ventilation room) ranged from 28.04 °C to 30.92 °C, with a relative humidity of 70.16% to 76.00%. These empirical findings are of importance, offering novel policy insights and suggestions. Since the minimum provision of 10% openings has been revealed to be less effective to provide desirable thermal performance and comfort, mandatory compliance with and the necessity of the bylaw requirement should be revisited.

Abstract:
The building sector consumes about 40 % of the total global primary energy, 60 % of the total electricity and accounts for about 30 % of all greenhouse gas emissions (UNEP, 2015). The zero energy building (ZEB) concept is considered as a step towards reducing the environmental impact of the building sector (European Parliment, Council of the European Union, 2010). This work has reviewed the concept of ZEBs by looking at three different definitions available in Sweden: nearly ZEB by Boverket (the Swedish Board of Housing, Building and Planning), ZEB by Sveriges Centrum för Nollenergihus (SCNH), Swedish center for ZEBs, and net primary ZEB by Skanska. The proposal by Boverket may form a basis for the statutory requirements for all new buildings in Sweden after 2020. The work also comprised a performance analysis, as well as a review of the development process, of terraced houses in Sweden built by Skanska according to their net primary ZEB definition.The overall objective was to facilitate the implementation of future ZEB projects. This was done by highlighting differences among the three definitions and how the implementation of Boverket’s proposal will impact other definitions. The performance analysis and process review pinpointed problem areas, acknowledging both technical, social, and economic aspects linked to the ZEB concept, which can be improved in order to successfully implement ZEBs in the future.To compare the definitions, a framework developed by Sartori et al. was used (Sartori, et al., 2012). A deductive approach was then used where a numerical analysis of one the terraced houses energy system was compared to simulations. The focus for the definition and performance analysis was the energy use of the building. In order to take other perspectives into account, the occupant experience as well as the building development process were investigated. This was done using an inductive approach by conducting semi-structured qualitative interviews with occupants and employees of the construction company.The definition comparison showed that there are important differences among the three definitions. The main differences were the system boundaries, the net balance and the energy efficiency requirements. It also showed that Skanska’s definition is directly affected by Boverket’s proposal, while SCNH’s definition may be indirectly affected.The performance analysis together with the interviews with occupants showed that uncomfortable indoor temperatures were the main problem in the buildings of study. The conclusion was that the specifications of a ZEB has to be acknowledged when choosing technical installations in a building. Furtherly, information to the occupants is seen as an important aspect in order to help them maintain a comfortable indoor environment in their homes.Interviews with employees showed that some problems may have occurred due to a lack of understanding of and commitment to the ZEB concept. Furtherly, all involved in a ZEB project needs to be informed of the concept and energy targets and encouraged to successfully reach goals and to avoid miscommunication.For “pilot projects” like the one studied in this report, it is suggested to include detailed design earlier in the project, in order to include cost for specific solutions needed for a ZEB. Interviews with occupants indicated that some may be willing to pay more for a ZEB building, therefore it is recommended to investigate the value of marketing this.
Byggnadssektorn står för runt 40 % av världens totala primärenergibehov, 60 % av elbehovet samt ger upphov till omkring 30 % av alla växtgasutsläpp (UNEP, 2015). Konceptet nollenergihus anses vara ett steg på vägen till att reducera byggnadssektorns miljöpåverkan (European Parliment, Council of the European Union, 2010). Detta arbete har granskat konceptet nollenergihus genom att utvärdera tre olika svenska definitioner för detta: nära nollenergihus enligt Boverket, nollenergihus enligt Sveriges Centrum för Nollenergihus (SCNH) och netto noll primärenergihus enligt Skanska. Förslaget för nära nollenergihus av Boverket kan komma att ligga till grund för de lagstadgade kraven för alla nya byggnader i Sverige från 2020. Detta arbete behandlar även en driftutvärdering samt en analys av utvecklingsprocessen av ett grupp radhus i Sverige byggda av Skanska enligt deras definition av netto noll primärenergihus.Det övergripande målet var att förenkla för nollenergiprojekt i framtiden. Detta gjordes genom att belysa skillnader mellan de tre definitionerna och hur implementeringen av Boverkets förslag kan komma att påverka de övriga. Driftsanalysen och granskningen av utvecklingsprocessen utfördes för att visa på problemområden med förbättringspotential, både vad gäller tekniska, sociala och ekonomiska aspekter, kopplade till konceptet nollenergihus.För att jämföra de tre nollenergidefinitionerna, användes ett ramverk utvecklat av Sartori et al. (Sartori, et al., 2012). För att driftsutvärdera byggnadens energisystem användes en deduktiv metod där uppmätt och normaliserad data jämfördes med simulerade värden. Fokus för definitions – och driftsutvärderingen var byggnadens energianvändning. För att få ett bredare perspektiv så undersöktes användarnas upplevelser samt utvecklingsprocessen. En induktiv metod användes för detta där semistrukturerade, kvalitativa intervjuer med boende och personer som arbetat i projektet genomfördes.Jämförelsen av de tre definitionerna visade att det finns viktiga skillnader mellan dessa. De huvudsakliga skillnaderna berör systemgränser, nettobalanser och krav på energieffektivitet. Jämförelsen visar också att Skanskas definition skulle bli direkt påverkat om Boverkets förslag skulle träda i kraft, medan SCNHs förslag kan komma att bli indirekt påverkat.Driftsutvärderingen tillsammans med boendeintervjuerna visade att obekväma inomhustemperaturer har utgjort huvudproblemet i de undersökta radhusen. Slutsatsen som kan dras av detta är att hänsyn måste tas till specifika förutsättningar för nollenergihus vid val av tekniska lösningar i en sådan byggnad. Vidare anses information till de boende vara en annan viktig aspekt för att de ska kunna bibehålla en behaglig inomhusmiljö i sina hem.Intervjuer med anställda i projektet visar att vissa problem har uppkommit p.g.a. en bristande förståelse och engagemang för konceptet nollenergihus. Således behöver alla involverade i ett nollenergihusprojekt informeras om koncept och energimål och uppmuntras att arbeta enligt dessa för att kunna säkerställa att målen av ett nollenergihus kan nås, samt för att undvika missförstånd.För “pilotprojekt”, likt det som studerats i detta arbete, föreslås det att projektering bör tidigareläggas i arbetsprocessen, så att kostnaden för de specifika lösningarna inkluderas tidigt. Intervjuer med boende har indikerat att vissa kan tänka sig att betala mer för ett nollenergihus, varför det också rekommenderas att denna marknadspotential undersöks vidare.

This thesis is an exploration of the fusion of building and landscape. Along with the development of modern design education, architecture design has been subdivided into several specific branches which actually cause harm to the whole design process and education in turn. In this thesis, I try to bridge the difference between the traditional concepts of building and landscape and try to make these two parts interweave with each other. By breaking the boundary between these two fields, integrity can be created which is able to make the building an object growing from its environment and to create a new middle landscape on the campus of Virginia Tech.

Abstract:
The assignment of diploma thesis was the design of a sustainable urban structure based on a medieval city in Náměšť nad Oslavou. As part of the work, I tried to find the best solution for this solved area, which is isolated by a railway corridor and suggest a new city district based on the principle of a medieval city, which will be linked to the existing city. The proposed development of city blocks is built on a system of platforms that level the terrain within the blocks and enable optimal parking spaces and the use of commercials. This development is complemented by several blocks with villa houses and a city SPA complex. The proposal supports the construction of cycle paths that connect parts of the solved area with the Rathan recreation pond. The design also includes a large park with a lookout tower and a sports ground on the city horizon ner the SPA complex. The accent was also placed on the public area near the new railway station, which serves to gather people for cultural and entertainment opportunities. This public space should not compete with an existing Masaryk square, which fulfills a representative and administration function.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the role of building morphology and street networks in shaping street activity and transformations in the historical built form. The core inquiry applies a configurational analysis to the street, viewing it as a complex entity which interfaces with both buildings and the urban street network. The research is founded on the identification of two theoretical and methodological gaps in the canon of urban design: how generic building morphology properties relate to street liveability; and, how urban diversity emerges as the result of diachronic processes. The thesis looks at architecture beyond function, geometry and aesthetics, focusing on the urban street as a generator for social contact. Building on space syntax theory, it seeks to advance the concept of the ‘virtual community’, proposing that encounter and co-presence patterns are the product of both city-wide connections and local building morphology. In order to study building-street relations in terms of the virtual community the thesis has developed a series of specialised techniques to describe and analyse the synchronic and diachronic aspects of space. The thesis is innovative in integrating space syntax and Conzenian methods to better examine the micromorphology of the street interface configurationally and typologically, capturing the changing nature of built form and building use over time. This methodology is applied to the study of two contrasting urban areas: Islington, London and West Village, Manhattan. Both possess similar building morphologies that have sustained street liveability and diversity over centuries. The results show how urban change and diversity are affected by diachronic processes working with the synchronic structure of the everyday city. The thesis asserts that urban configuration and built form together play an essential role in shaping the character of the ‘virtual community’ as well as the potential for street life itself.

Abstract:
Roof terraces are in great demand today and can add value to the home. Theirdesign can vary but often they can also contribute and increase the risk of moisture in the building and cause problems. This is because they are flat and often have doors that lead out to a terrace where water can collect. The purpose of the study is to examine how roof terraces are designed and executedwith a goal of finding designs that should be avoided and designs that can be recommended.This will be done by reviewing previously designed roof terrace projects, literature studies,interviews with people with significant experience in the subject and highlighting relevantexperiences from my previous professional experiences as a carpenter. In the study, critical areas and processes during the design as well as the production of a roofterrace will be highlighted and explained why they are critical. The advantages of asuperstructure consisting of a wooden deck will be highlighted. The importance of the rightskills at the right time will also be discussed. The results of the work will highlight the importance of a solid design of waterproofing layerson roof terraces and why implementation of waterproofing layers may be relevant. It will alsosummarize what you should think about in order to design blueprints that meet the right conditions for a high quality and improved execution.
Takterrasser på flerbostadshus är idag väldigt efterfrågat och kan ha ett stort mervärde till en bostad. De kan utformas varierat men gemensamt för dem att de bidrar till en ökad risk för fuktproblematik i byggnaden. Detta då de är nästintill platta och dessutom ofta har dörrar ut till terrassen i höjd med där vatten samlas.Studiens syfte är att granska hur takterrasser projekteras samt utförs av idag med ett mål om att finna utföranden som bör undvikas och utföranden som kan rekommenderas. Detta har gjorts genom granskning av tidigare utförda takterrassprojekt, litteraturstudier, intervju av personer med betydande erfarenhet i ämnet samt att lyfta fram relevanta erfarenheter från tidigare yrkeserfarenheter som stommontör/snickare.I arbetet granskas och förklaras kritiska byggnadstekniska detaljer och kritiska delar av projekteringen för takterrasser. Fördelarna med att en påbyggnad utgörs av en trall i trä belyses. Även vikten av rätt kompetenser vid rätt tillfälle diskuteras.Resultatet av arbetet belyser vikten av ett gediget utförande av tätskikt på takterrasser och varför en extra kontroll av tätskikt kan vara relevant. Det summerar även vad som bör beaktas för att projektera rätt förutsättningar till utförandet.

Abstract:
This chapter traces the impact of human activities on the Central Himalayas and trans-Himalayas over almost four millennia. It shows how the shifts in the use of natural resources was linked to the emergence of new political configurations and changing landscapes. Foragers inhabited the middle and lower Himalayas from the Paleolithic, whereas pastoral activity is visible on the Upper and Trans-Himalayas. The mining of gold, copper and iron led to metallurgy, tools and trade. Stone buildings, water reservoirs and the cultivation of barley, millet, and rain-fed rice supported population increase and produced terraced farming which eventually led to the clearing of the malarial valley floors and facilitated introduction of paddy. This is the agrarian landscape of today, suffering from severe stress and growing depopulation.

Abstract:
The problems of formation of the risk of a tsunami on the coast of the southern regions of the Far East Federal District. As the risk factors used features such as the relative position of the epicenters of tsunamigenic earthquakes and the coast, the underwater terrain coast, the degree of closeness of the studied bays, the presence or absence of wide beach and the first marine terraces, flowing into the characteristics of the studied coast estuaries. The factors subjected to expert estimates, taking into account their influence on the formation of the risk of a tsunami. The characteristics of the underwater topography, location in relation to the shores and bays of the epicenters of tsunamigenic earthquakes are estimated as zonal factors. Characteristics of marine terraces and river valleys are treated as local risk factors. For the first time for the coasts of Primorye and Khabarovsk area made of consequences of historical tsunamis: the presence of the devastation on the shores endured the tsunami waves from the open sea into the rivers and beaches ships, coast erosion, as well as descriptions of eyewitnesses. Characteristics of risk assessments are preceded by the WHO as areas of possible foci of tsunamigenic earthquakes, fault description and characteristics of buildings coasts. Risk assessment of the tsunami produces by the method proposed by G. Koff et al. The following characteristics was taken into account: the nature of the underwater coastal slope, exposure, banks in relation to the tsunami, the presence of the beach or I marine terrace, the presence of river valleys in the rear of the bay, the degree of openness of the bay. Overall, Nakhodka Bay and the Vostok Bay have the same performance tsunami -28,2 points. However, within these bays be provided with separate bays, with a higher risk assessment tsunami. Tsunami response coasts was made for these areas for the first time. Analysis of the materials allowed to identify the most tsunami zone, and to recommend the use of certain sections of the proposed development.

Abstract:
Enbridge operates the world’s longest hydrocarbon transmission system. The pipeline infrastructure has experienced additions over its 50 years of operation. The expansions were implemented as successively larger pipe sections upstream from pumping stations. After completing three lines (20″, 24″ and 34″) in parallel configuration, 48″ sections were installed upstream from pumping stations in 1972 and 1973. In order to accommodate future throughput requirements, part of the Enbridge’s 1998 Terrace Expansion Project was designed to connect the 48″ pipe sections into a continuous line with 36″ pipe sections. The first Terrace Expansion design included sending and receiving traps for both the 36″ and the 48″ sections. An intricate network of crossover piping and mainline valves would allow in-line tools to be both launched and received at the diameter transition point without impacting flow. Since the transition points occur anywhere from 10 to 40 kilometers upstream from pumping stations, more aboveground facility locations would be added. Enbridge approached vendors of the different in-line inspection technologies to conduct feasibility studies for building 36″ by 48″ dual diameter tools for pipeline cleaning, geometry and metal loss inspection applications in January 1998. Enduro Pipeline Services, Williamson Industries (TD Williamson) and Pipeline Integrity International (PII) were selected to assemble the working tools based on the viability of their technical presentations and cost estimates. The development of 36″ by 48″ dual diameter cleaning and inspection tools would save Enbridge time and money by eliminating the need to install traps and associated valving at the transition areas. As a result, the accelerated schedule and targeted project completion for inspection in Enbridge’s Terrace Expansion line within a twelve-month time frame was accepted by all parties. This paper discusses the phases of the project from the technical feasibility studies, original and progression of design concepts, test loop execution and actual field use and validation of the tool performance and information.

Abstract:
The Imeretinsky lowland – the central fragment of a large Black Sea terrace of the Caucasian coast of Russia, is located in interfluve the rivers Mzymty and Psou. In its central and western part large sports complexes of the winter Olympic Games "Sochi-2014" and the Olympic village are under construction. It has led to necessity of engineering protection of coast from the constructed port Imeretinsky to east board of cape of Konstantinovsky. In the report the site located from the Southern pier of port to the western board of cape of Konstantinovsky is considered. On a site the underwater canyon Novuy is located. To provide stability of a shore, the project of coastal protection now is realized. This project provides building in a surface part of a beach ferroconcrete grille on piles and a slope from concrete cubes. Before should be fill an artificial pebble beach in width not less than 50 m. As has shown inspection of coastal protection constructions, rates a beach lag behind rates of its washout. The width of a surface beach makes now no more than 13 m. For scoping executed embankments sandy a material comparison bathymetric shootings before port building (2007) has been made and April, 2012. By comparison is established that slept pebble the material is at the bottom and doesn't move waves on coast. Thus, massed filling the pebble material, coasts of Imeretinsky lowland spent recently on a considered site, haven't led to formation of a steady surface beach in design width of 50 m. On this site, and also on a site around Konstantinovsky's canyon updating of design decisions is required.

Abstract:
Resumen: La Villa Sarabhai ha sido considerada en gran parte de las referencias críticas como un paradigma de la "architecture femelle" por absorber el emplazamiento y por sus espacios abovedados, llegando a ser asociada con la arquitectura rústica, folklórica, incluso primitiva. Sin embargo, la evolución del proyecto muestra que no existe ninguna voluntad por parte de Le Corbusier de integrar la villa en su entorno ni de rendir tributo a la arquitectura tradicional. Le Corbusier continúa evolucionando dando un nuevo giro a estrategias arquitectónicas ya consolidadas y resistiéndose a las clasificaciones: genera una planta libre mediante muros; transforma la terraza jardín de una habitación sin techo en una pradera; y en lugar de laminar el espacio en vertical lo lamina en horizontal. No obstante, el objetivo de su arquitectura se mantiene firme desde los años 20, generar una sensación continua de desconcierto. En la Villa Sarabhai el visitante no es capaz de afirmar si se encuentra en un edificio anclado al terreno o que se posa sobre él, en una construcción arquitrabada o abovedada, arriba o abajo, dentro o fuera, ni siquiera si lo que percibe es real o una representación de la realidad. Así, la ambigüedad se convierte en el medio para alcanzar la riqueza arquitectónica. Abstract: Villa Sarabhai is considered by many critics to be a paradigm of "architecture femelle", because it absorbs the setting and has vaulted spaces, which are elements associated with a rustic, folkloric, and even primitive, architecture. However, the evolution of the project shows that Le Corbusier did not intend to integrate the villa into the landscape or pay tribute to traditional architecture. Le Corbusier kept evolving. He added new twists to his consolidated architectonic strategies and defied classification: he generated a free plan by using walls; he transformed the garden terrace from a room without a ceiling into a prairie; and, instead of laminating the space in vertical, he laminated it in horizontal. Nevertheless, the aim of his architecture remained constant since the 1920s, generating a permanent feeling of bewilderment. Inside Villa Sarabhai, visitors are not able to confirm if they are in a building which is anchored to the ground, or in one which is resting on it; in an orthogonal construction or in a vaulted one; up or down; inside or outside; not even sure whether what they perceive is real or a representation of reality. The ambiguity becomes the means for reaching the architectonic richness. Palabras clave: Le Corbusier; Villa Sarabhai; Ahmedabad; Architecture femelle; Bóveda; Ambigüedad.

Abstract:
Resumen: El escrito recoge la experiencia vital de Le Corbusier en su humilde barraca del Cap Martin, el lugar donde el arquitecto establece su particular pacto con la naturaleza, y finalmente con la vida. La cabaña se construye en 1952 como habitación anexa al chiringuito que regenta Robert Rebutato, fontanero en Niza, pescador, al que Le Corbusier conoce de sus anteriores estancias en la E 1027. En los años siguientes el arquitecto va apropiándose del lugar: L’Étoile de Mer, su terraza, el algarrobo, la barraca de obra. Es el Mediterráneo, pero también la amistad con el pescador, lo que le ligarán a este lugar hasta el día de su fallecimiento en las rocas. De esta relación son muestra varias pinturas murales, entre ellas la que retrata a los dos amigos “À l’Étoile de Mer règne l’amitié”. Este paraje es también objeto de proyectos edificatorios del arquitecto, entre ellos la serie Roq et Rob o las Unités de Vacances. En estas viviendas-taller pensaba establecerse Le Corbusier en sus estancias en esta costa, sin embargo tras la muerte de Yvonne en 1957, Le Corbusier opta por no llevar a cabo sus proyectos, y seguir alojándose en Le Cabanon, esa célula mínima de habitación, parasitada a L’Étoile de Mer. Decide no ocupar el territorio, dejarlo virgen, construir lo mínimo para mantener el máximo espacio libre. Varios planos dan fe de la permuta de propiedades entre Le Corbusier y Rebutato. A cambio de una gran cuña de terreno que incluye la cabaña del arquitecto, éste entrega las Unités de Camping a Robert. Se convierte en propietario de una extensión de rocas para no construir nada, mantener el paisaje intacto y así proteger su soledad. Abstract: The text reflects the life experience of Le Corbusier in his humble hut of Cap Martin, where he establishes its particular pact with the nature, that finally becomes a pact with his life. The cottage was built in 1952 as an attached room to the snack bar that runs Robert Rebutato, plumber in Nice, fisherman, who met Le Corbusier during his stays in the E 1027. In the following years the architect endorses the site: L'Étoile Mer, its terrace, the carob tree and the work shed. It is the Mediterranean, but also the friendship with the fisherman, which will bind him to this place, until the day of his death on the rocks. This relationship is shown in several murals, including the portraying of the two friends "À l'Étoile de Mer règne l'amitié". The architect works too on some projects in this place: Roq et Rob and Unités de Vacances series. In these last ones Le Corbusier found to stay during his visits to the coast, but after the death of Yvonne in 1957, he chooses not to carry out their projects, and keep staying at Le Cabanon, the minimal cell room, parasitized to L’Étoile de Mer. He decides not to occupy the territory, keeping virgin it, building the minimum to maintain the maximum empty. Some drawings attest to the exchange of properties between Le Corbusier and Rebutato. In exchange to a large wedge of land that includes the cabin, the architect deliveries the Unités de Camping to Robert. So he becomes owner of an extension of rocks where isn’t possible to build anything, in the way to keep the landscape intact and protect its loneliness.
