Acute stress increases ion secretion and permeability of rat colonic epithelium. However, it is not known if stress-induced mucosal changes are subject to adaptation. Wistar-Kyoto rats were exposed to either continuous water-avoidance stress (CS) for 60 min or intermittent stress (IS) for three 20-min periods. Distal colonic segments were mounted in Ussing Chambers, and ion-transport [short-circuit current ( I sc)] and permeability [conductance and flux of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)] parameters were measured. CS significantly increased I sc, conductance, and HRP flux compared with control values. In contrast, in IS rats these variables were similar to those in nonstressed controls. To study the pathways involved in IS-induced adaptation, rats were pretreated intraperitoneally with the opioid antagonists naloxone or methylnaloxone. Opioid antagonists had no effect on values in control or CS rats. However, in the IS group, naloxone and methylnaloxone reversed the adaptive responses, and all variables increased to CS values. We conclude that stress-induced colonic mucosal pathophysiology is subject to rapid adaptation, which involves opioid pathways.

The objectives of the research described in this article focus on an understanding of factors that influence creativity in healthcare design. Two areas of emphasis include the personality strengths of successful healthcare architects and elements of the current project delivery process. As part of the research, 48 healthcare architects participated in a battery of personality and creativity tests including Myers/Briggs, The Big Five, the Remote Associates Test (RAT), and an architectural creativity test. Results of the test point to strong “openness” for new ideas, particularly with the designers sampled. As a group, respondents scored low in “narcistic” bias (indicating emotional stability) and did not score high in verbal creativity. Compared to earlier studies of creative architects, the sample group included significantly fewer “perceiver” (Myers/Briggs), associated with a high level of curiosity. A second interesting finding was a significant difference between younger and older architects in the architectural creativity test. One possible hypothesis is the experience of the older architects. A second, and potentially more alarming, hypothesis is that technological disruptions are interfering with the ability to stimulate divergent thinking, particularly in the younger generation raised with smart phones and other network tools. Creativity in healthcare architecture demonstrates the case for domain-specific experience and skills along with creative input from other knowledge domains. The ability to establish group creativity may be inhibited by pressures to condense project time lines and not fully implement lean and other process strategies for exploring alternative solutions. Effective participation in group creativity tasks is particularly important for the complex world of healthcare design.

This study focuses on the early design phase in architectural design and aims to examine how participants transform their knowledge to make the initial decisions regarding design. A total of 100 volunteers, 50 architects and 50 non-architects, participated in the study. Architect and non-architect participants were to make mobile phone designs, while brain activities were being monitored during the research. All designs were rated by an independent group of 12 people. Supporting architectural education methods relating to the study; the aim is to make conclusions that help explain the early design stage and the overall design process which effects how the design ideas begin to take form. The study reveals the contribution of the early stages of design regarding architectural education and also that architects versus non-architects begin to create more meaningful designs during/at this stage.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Community perceptions and experiences of built heritage are essential in understanding the built heritage and effect in individual and community wellbeing. Subsequently, local perceptions of built heritage directly influence the conservation and heritage-led interventions. This study investigated local perceptions of built heritage in Erbil by assessing responses of 414 participants using a questionnaire survey aiming to identify how built heritage is perceived by the various group samples, exploring local perceptions’ (in)consistencies. Significant differences were found between architects’ and non-architects’ perceptions and related wellbeing. As the groups attribute different values, the results suggest that heritage buildings do not contribute to the wellbeing of non-architects as much as to architects. A contradicting result was found between modern and heritage buildings. This study contributes to the notion of human-centrality of the built environment by assessing local perceptions of built heritage, that, when implemented in urban planning and heritage management, can contribute to the city’s socio-cultural sustainable development.

Landscape architects occupy a strategic position in the landscape industry; yet, they have not been generally considered an important customer group by nurserymen. They influence selection of plant material for commercial, government, and residential landscapes and are generally the first to know what will be in demand. A recent survey of Georgia landscape architects found they specify $85 M of plants. This compares to the $200 M estimate for the 1989 wholesale value of nursery stock produced in Georgia. In addition, 60% of the landscape architectural firms influence which production nursery supplies plants by determining or recommending the production nursery where the landscape contractor obtains plants. More importantly, 92% of the large firms, which account for 67% of the dollar value, are involved in selection of the production nursery. The results provide the first quantitative estimate of the influence of landscape architects on nurserymen and suggest that nurserymen should view landscape architects as important customers.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to contextualise the architect–client relationship and evaluate the factors responsible for its deterioration, and then define the impact of these factors on the future needs of architects and clients, including how such knowledge can help emerging architects to develop an understanding of the profession at an early stage. It will attempt to reveal new insights and build consensus around issues, such as functionality and aesthetics, per cent-based fee structure, conflict of interest amongst architects, contractors and clients. Design/methodology/approach A combination of qualitative online survey, semi-structured interviews and online focus group discussions under the comprehensive umbrella of the case study method has been used to construct a pragmatic framework. The data collection was focused on revealed preferences rather than stated preferences, in terms of likes and dislikes, in a standard survey. Findings Overall, this paper strengthens the idea that the predicament of the profession and the marginalisation of architects is due to their detachment from clients. The findings suggest that the fee structure might be a major source of discontent and there is an urgent need for alternative routes of procurement, particularly for private residential clients. While most clients prefer functionality over aesthetics and want architects to be affordable, they are more willing to invest their trust in architects who can deliver from concept to completion. Research limitations/implications The arguments contested in this paper attempt to demystify the dynamics that are at play during the construction stage. It looks at power sharing, responsibilities and silent hierarchies that transpire between architects, clients and contractors, particularly in private residential projects. Originality/value The main recommendation of this paper is that to secure the future of the architecture profession emerging architects need to be trained more in client-centric skills than design-centric aptitude.

The purpose of this research paper is to clarify the design intentions and methodology behind the experimental application of the Frame Structure by some contemporary Japanese architects through collaboration with structural engineers. The ‘Frame’ is the simplest of structure systems, but was applied to iconic structures such as the Parthenon and Le Corbusier’s Dom-Ino House, each example expressing artistic concepts and technical skills of the concerned era. One of the recent concepts seen in 21st century modern Japanese architecture is the ‘pursuit of transparency and thinness’. This is especially true of SANAA, are presentative group of architects, who – in close collaboration with structural engineers – pursue the quality of extreme thinness in columns and roofs, creatively exploring new methods of using framed structures. This paper focuses on three such projects that exploit the structural aspects of frame construction and, makes an attempt to understand the architects’ intention behind the designs. It presents an analysis of the contemporary interpretation of the traditional frame structure, used by the architects to apparently dissolve the material presence of the building and make it become part of the surroundings. These innovative attempts, made possible through collaboration between architects and structural engineers, signify one of the significant expressions of modernity in Japan.

The diffusion of modernist principles in Canadian building and planning occurred through many channels, but among these the Architectural Research Group of Ottawa and Montreal played a crucial role. Formed in 1938 to conduct research into postwar reconstruction, the group produced articles, radio addresses, and exhibitions in an effort to nurture modernist sentiment across the country. For these young architects, the federal government’s commitment to replanning and rebuilding postwar Canadian cities presented them with an opportunity to intervene in the future of Canadian practice. They decried the “backwardness” of conservative practitioners while promoting the ideas of a European avant-garde and orchestrating numerous transatlantic exchanges. This article discusses the group’s role in politicking for architectural and urban modernism, as well as the contributions of some of its key members. It shows that Canadian professionals were not simply passive receptors of international modernism but played an active part in shaping these ideas during the immediate postwar period, and that Canada’s federal government played a unique role in accelerating this process by allowing modernist architects and planners to operate within and through a number of government-sponsored agencies.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This research examines the practice, buildings and projects of Building Design Group Architects (BDG), a collaborative of architects and students in Durban during the period 1968-1977. It traces the careers of its principal members, firstly as students at the University of Natal, and later in private practice through the formation and practice of BDG. BDG operated at the fringes of conventional practice. Through a diminished office hierarchy, a team culture was established whereby the endeavors of all personnel were to the common purpose of furthering the architectural objectives of the practice. Responsibilities were shared by qualified architects and students alike. BDG were young and uninhibited by the dogmas of the established profession, architectural compromise being supplanted by investigation and experimentation. The practice operated in a studio atmosphere where a heightened expectation was imposed on each project design and individual concerned. The resulting product of the practice was a vibrant oeuvre of work, predominantly residential; the designs asked questions of the conventions of building form, spatial relationships, technology and building economics. The answers to these questions manifested in an architecture resonating with regional identity. The study identifies the early careers of many important architects who were associated with BDG, and who would contribute to the development of contemporary South African architecture. Paul Mikula, Bryan Lee, John Edgar, Brian Kearney as founding members of BDG would shape the direction of the practice and beyond. They were joined at various stages and durations by Kevin MacGarry, Colin Savage, Tony Wilson, Peter Wilkinson, Bruce Stafford, Luis Ferreira da Silva and Jo Noero, all of whom would later start their own independent practices. However, what emerges from the study is the pivotal role of Paul Mikula in the account of BDG. It was his vigor, vision, passion and talent for design that ignited the practice and drew the attention of the local architectural fraternity. The influence of his work and personality was felt by all those around him; he has significantly marked the architectural landscape of the region, and this study promotes the recognition of Paul Mikula as a significant South African architect.Thesis (M.Arch.)-University of Natal, 2003.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
AbstractA construction method for an FDM printed floor slab system is proposed in this paper. The integration of translucent thermoplastics and additive manufacturing enables architects to develop self-explanatory tectonics that reflect the logic and construction processes. Lightweight, transparent thermoplastics such as PET and PLA can be used in 3D printing to create visual contrast to conventional solid materials. The additive manufacturing process can improve structural behavior by controlling the material distribution. Therefore, the proposed floor slab system pursues ‘light and strong’ via using a carefully planned toolpath for FDM printing. An entire floor is subdivided into prefabricated modular components, which are then assembled using the post-tensioning method to improve the integrity and tensile strength of the floor system. A toolpath is designed based on the internal stress of the components such that the material density reflects the structural behavior of the floor slab. The material efficiency is thereby achieved by the optimized articulation. In addition, we maximize the continuity of the printing path to enhance the printing quality and reduce the manufacturing time. This construction method is applied to the renovation of a group of industrial buildings. Prototyping experiments were carried out using translucent PLA to visualize the material distribution inside modules, manifesting the design principle of “form follows performance”.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This chapter explores how art in public spaces shapes, and is shaped by, disagreements and conflicts resulting from the need to tackle »togetherness in difference« (Ien Ang), and how contemporary artistic practices play out in postmigrant public spaces, understood as plural domains of human encounter impacted by former and ongoing migration, and by new forms of nationalism. The chapter focuses on two art projects in Copenhagen, Denmark. The first one is The Red Square, a part of the public park Superkilen in the multicultural Nørrebro district. Designed by the artist group Superflex (in collaboration with architects from Bjarke Ingels Group and Topotek1), Superkilen opened in 2012. The second project is Jeannette Ehlers and La Vaughn Belle's collaboration on the sculpture I Am Queen Mary. Installed outside an old colonial Warehouse in Copenhagen harbour in 2018, it is the first monument in the country to commemorate Danish colonialism and complicity in the transatlantic slave trade. Borrowing a term from Chantal Mouffe, these projects could be characterized as »agonistic« interventions into public urban space. The chapter argues that they may provide us with some much-needed answers to the important question of the much debated yet crucial role of public art in democratic societies, particularly how works of art may form a possible loophole of escape from dominant discourses by openly contesting, or subtly circumventing, monocultural understandings of national heritage and identity, thereby helping us to imagine national and urban community otherwise, i.e. as postmigrant communities. The chapter examines what the re-configurative power of art might accomplish in postmigrant public spaces by considering the following questions: How can public art open up a social and national imagination pervaded by anxieties about (post)migration to other ways of thinking about diversity and collective identity? Furthermore, is it possible to identify a common pattern - i.e. a particular postmigrant strategy - that underpins and interconnects various types of artistic interventions into public spaces and debates, which, on the surface, present themselves as radically different kinds of projects?

AbstractThe paper shares the experience of the building environmental eXperience Laboratory (beXLab) at the DIDA Department of Architecture-University of Florence, an interdisciplinary and open research group working on the experimentation of transferable methodological approaches and practical tools to support the challenging twin transitions, the green and the digital, starting from pivotal public buildings. As prototypical university Living Lab (born in the frame of the Med-EcoSuRe project, from here LL), beXLab is a shared space where researchers (architects, technical physicians, energy and information engineers, user experience designers, etc…) are experimenting integrated and innovative retrofit solutions, by involving key actors (decision makers, technical offices, energy managers), stakeholders (technicians, companies) and end-users (students, univerisity community). The LL place and space in the pilot university building of Santa Verdiana (in the UNESCO World Heritage Centre of Florence) was equipped with a bulk of IoT sensors for the monitoring of real-time environmental parameters and used as a test room for innovative retrofit/refurbishment and advanced technologies application, as well as to capture and valorise the users’ experience. The beXLab physical space is coupled with a BIM model, as a base for the development of a Digital Twin intended to construct a reliable and shareable image of reality (i.e. energy performances and indoor comfort/well-being assessment) and forecast trustable future scenarios (i.e. simulations towards participative design processes). Our present research, based on a crucial interdisciplinary approach and focusing on the energy-economic-social-cultural implications in the Mediterranean areas, proposes a new way of imagining and representing a sustainable, healthy and green future for buildings and urban builtup areas, in compliance with the EU Green Deal, the Renovation Wave and the New EU Bauhaus initiative.

Often I watch the architects at work, captivated by the process through which designs develop and evolve. Much of this happens in silence. Eyes concentrate on screens, computer-generated images of more or less realized structures moved and remade through barely perceptible movements of the mouse. The movement of hand on tracing paper seems a more literal relationship—eye-arm-hand-pencil-paper—but the question of what it is that animates the process is no less enigmatic. Asked where their designs come from, architects offer thoughtful reflections but confess their own uncertainty about a process that is both familiar and mysterious: “total magic,” as Megan once put it during a group discussion in the office; “something comes from nothing!”...

This chapter looks at Harry Truman's administration during the postwar period. The major development of this period was the widespread acceptance within the administration of the policy planners' ideas and aims. This was true even though the plans were altered in response to events and new voices in summer and fall of 1945. The course of events in the early Truman administration opened the door for the recommendations of a small group of Japan specialists in the State Department to become American policy. In the transition from war to victory, these recommendations were approved as SWNCC 150/4, the document that was sent to occupation administrators to guide American actions in defeated Japan.

Abstract When this prophecy was written in 1887, comparing the succession of supervising architects with that of the kings of England, the “Government Architects” were those who headed the Office of the Supervising Architect of the U.S. Treasury Department. The prophecy was not borne out and only a few of the fifteen supervising architects are remembered: Ammi B. Young, Alfred B. Mullett, William A. Potter, James G. Hill, and James Knox Taylor are the most prominent. The names of Mifflin E. Bell, Jeremiah O’Rourke, and Oscar Wenderoth are obscure at best, even in the relatively restricted field of architectural history. The Supervising Architect’s Office was a bureau located within the U.S. Treasury Department, which for nearly a century designed custom houses, courthouses, post offices, and other buildings that housed federal government functions. Established in 1852, the Office blossomed at a time when the U.S. Congress appropriated funds to design and construct a large group of federal buildings in communities east of the Mississippi River and in the South.

From the 1970s social and political changes in Australia and the burgeoning feminist movement were challenging established power relationships and hierarchies. This paper explores how in the 1980s groups of women architects actively took positions that were outside the established professional mainstream. A 1982 seminar at the University of Queensland galvanised women in Brisbane to form the Association of Women Architects, Town Planners and Landscape Architects. Formally founded the association was multi-disciplinary and not affiliated with the established bodies. Its aims included promoting women and working to reform the practice of these professions. While predominately made up of architects, the group never became part of the Royal Australian Institutes of Architects, it did inject itself into its activities, spectacularly sponsoring the Indian architect Revathi Kamath to speak at the 1984 RAIA. For five years the group was active organising talks, speakers, a newsletter and participating in Architecture Week. In 1984 an exhibition ‘Profile: Women in Architecture’ featured the work of 40 past and present women architects and students, including a profile of Queensland’s then oldest practitioner Beatrice Hutton. Sydney architect Eve Laron, the convenor of Constructive Women in Sydney opened the exhibition. There was an active interchange between Women in Architecture in Melbourne, Constructive Women, and the Queensland group, with architects such as Ann Keddie, Suzanne Dance and Barbara van den Broek speaking in Brisbane. While the focus of the group centred around women’s issues such as traditional prejudice, conflicting commitments and retraining, its architectural interests were not those of conventional practice. It explored and promoted the design of cities and buildings that were sensitive to users including women and children, design using natural materials and sustainability. While the group only existed for a short period, it advanced positions and perspectives that were outside the mainstream of architectural discourse and practice. Nearly 40 years on a new generation of women is leading the debate into the structural inequities in the architectural profession which are very similar to those tackled by women architects in the 1980s.

In the fall of 1982, Dean Jaquelin Robertson of the University of Virginia’s School of Architecture staged a two-day conference on the state of architectural practice. Held in UVA’s Rotunda, the closed-door conference included twenty-four invited architects. The group, although ideologically diverse, was notably entirely male and overwhelmingly Euro-American. Those in attendance included established and emerging architects Philip Johnson, Paul Rudolph, Tadao Ando, Peter Eisenman, Robert Stern, Michael Graves, Frank Gehry, and Rem Koolhaas among others. Organized much like a studio review, each architect presented a single, unpublished project which was then critiqued and debated by the group. The full transcript of the proceedings, was later published by Rizzoli. The Charlottesville Tapes, was intended as the first in a recur-ring series of conferences and publications of “architects on architecture” emphasizing the role of designers, rather than critics, historians, or journalists in establishing the discourse of contemporary practice.Organized at a critical moment in the early 1980s, the disci-pline was caught between competing claims and shifting ideological viewpoints on innovation and tradition, history and theory, and modern and post-modern aesthetics. Rather than resolve these tensions, the event intended to explore the pluralistic state of contemporary practice through a series of open debates, a democratic format, further reinforced by the auspicious setting of Thomas Jefferson’ Academical Village. Frequently referenced as an early moment of recognition for the younger generation of invited architects, many of the conference’s participants later served in prominent leader-ship roles in practice and academia, receiving international recognition for their work. As a result, the conference has had lasting repercussions for architectural practice and pedagogy, particularly in the US context.

The paper critically examines the experience in implementing an innovative pilot project from students and learning facilitators' perspective. It highlights examples of modeling innovative practice through research and teaching with emergent technologies in a frame of Let's play as architects in the city! project launched in 2012 as optional subject-matter for the third and fourth grade of elementary school. Developed by a group of architects (Grupul De-a arhitectura) and implemented in partnership with the University of Bucharest and Architects' Order, the project has an interdisciplinary approach and involves architects, teachers and University faculty and students. Project aims to make primary school students acquainted with basic concepts from architecture and urbanism by direct observation, neighborhood exploration and creative use of data gathered through a variety of ICT tools. Firstly the paper explores young students' textual engagements with mobile technologies and the changing nature of literacy in the context of being involved in an engaging complex activity. Project activities provide contextual learning experiences and rich exploration and discovery of the connected nature of information in the real world. Specific assignments reinforce skills development, use of mobile technologies and articulation to school curriculum: reading, writing, math, technological education, civic participation, arts and digital skills. Secondly the paper investigates the perceptions of learning facilitators' on the use of mobile technology for project implementation. Architects and teachers will provide narrative information on the balance between planned and unplanned in using new technology for classroom and outdoor activities with elementary school students, between types of emerging collaboration encouraged by use of mobile technologies. Instructors will reflect not only on strengths but also on the challenges in implementing this integrative learning approach. Thirdly, the evaluation of project implementation during the pilot phase will allow changes aiming at making of the extended phase a platform of quality education. Experiences gained in the frame of Let's play as architects in the city! could provide genuine examples about ubiquitous learning, where learning opportunities and experiences are dramatically changing (Burbules). Therefore we expect to stimulate research efforts that focus on key areas like mobile learning, new literacies (e-texts) and engaging faculty and students in the pursuit of digital perspectives to research and teaching.

This communication is developed within the activities of the project funded by the Valencian Regional Government “The heritage consideration of the social Modern Movement’s public housing. The Virgen del Carmen group, revitalization, and energetic updating (MOMOvivso). In this project, a Modern Movement heritage social housing research is proposed to progress in the preservation of this architecture. Accordingly, a methodological model is made and applied to Valencia’s 614 housing estate, placed in the suburb zone named “El Cabañal”. This residential complex was designed by the architects Fernando M. García-Ordóñez and Juan M. Dexeus Beatty, and it was built between 1958 and 1962. It was developed under the new social housing regulatory framework, which considers different configurations, as well as new constructive techniques, aimed at standardizing the quality of their systems and components and improving the dwelling’s indoor comfort.The present communication is a summary of the analysis process leading to ideation of a comprehensive methodology for the buildings envelope characterization which has been performed under the referred regulatory framework and applied to different types of buildings. For this purpose, three action lines have been proposed: analysis of documentation and contemporary regulations, an inspection report with the visits carried out, and the envelope non-destructive testing.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Success of a housing program depends on compatibility of its housing provision with the needs, resources, and priorities of the target group. This is especially true for housing programs in developing countries, which often do not reach the urban poor. This paper argues that the main reason for their failure is the design approach that is used to develop them. The paper addresses two major questions: What is the framework that explains the success or failure of different housing programs? and, What design approach should architects adopt, and the role they should play, so as to reach the urban poor? Different households have different needs, resources, and priorities in various aspects of housing. The conventional design approach addresses only a few aspects and produces incompatible housing. An integrated design approach, on the other hand, addresses all related aspects of housing and achieves compatibility. The Khuda-ki-Basti incremental development scheme in Hyderabad, Pakistan demonstrates that compatible housing can reach the urban poor. To produce compatible housing, the conventional approach needs to be modified to an integrated approach. This, in turn, requires broadening the architects' role and changing the focus of architectural education in the arena of housing for the urban poor.

The research question at the center of this paper was initiated in response to my participation in a larger Department of Energy funded project awarded to the Greater Philadelphia Innovation Cluster for Energy Efficient Buildings (GPIC). My particular research initiatives within GPIC are focused on developing a roadmap of use by architects, engineers, builders and building owners for the successful implementation and market adoption of rigorous Integrated Design Practices in the energy efficient retrofit of buildings in a 10 county region of the Mid Atlantic region, that includes the city of Philadelphia and its Navy Yard. A group of computer scientists and building engineers comprise the Integrated Technologies Team, whose “subtask [is to] utilize models, tools, and methods developed by the Design Tools Team for rapid synthesis of systems.” 1 And a sub-group of researchers from the Architecture Department at the University of Pennsylvania is more broadly devising innovative Integrated Design strategies that can be implemented in the process of whole building design of high performance buildings.

Abstract: The program of the summer house will mark the acceptance period of modern architecture in Portugal. The modern life is put into practice by a group of architects to an enlightened bourgeoisie clientele, in some summer resorts that will start to be developed in the Portuguese coastline. The Existenzminimum, will be a German expression used throughout the twentieth century, particularly after the First World War, where the concerns of social nature and housing, for a large number of people will be important issues to be discussed by architects. Petit cabanon was Le Corbusier’s summer house in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. This small pavilion experienced new possibilities of living in minimum area, similar to the theories of the existenzminimum studied by Modern architects in the post-first world war period. New ways to dwell in minimum space are then reinterpreted in the early experiences of holiday houses in Portugal where a simple way of living started to be tested. Resumen: El programa de la casa de verano se cumplirá el plazo de aceptación de la arquitectura moderna en Portugal. La vida moderna se pone en práctica por un grupo de arquitectos a una clientela de burguesía, en algunos centros turísticos de verano que comenzarán a desarrollar en la costa portuguesa. El Existenzminimum, será una expresión alemana utilizado a lo largo del siglo XX, sobre todo después de la Primera Guerra Mundial, donde las preocupaciones de carácter social y vivienda, para un gran número de personas serán temas importantes a tratar por los arquitectos. Petit Cabanon fue la casa de verano de Le Corbusier en Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. Este pequeño pabellón experimentó nuevas posibilidades de vivir en área mínima, similar a las teorías de la Existenzminimum estudiados por arquitectos modernos en el periodo posterior a la primera guerra mundial. Nuevas formas de habitar el espacio mínimo son entonces reinterpretadas en las primeras experiencias de casas de vacaciones en Portugal, donde una forma moderna de habitar comenzó a ser testada. Keywords: Petit cabanon; Le Corbusier; Holiday houses; Existenzminimum; Arquitecture; Modern. Palabras clave: Petit cabanon; Le Corbusier; Casas de Verano; Existenzminimum; Arquitectura; Moderno.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
After the golden age of the city, due to the peninsular bishops and humanists and later through the military and civil architects, the Italians returned as protagonists after 1989, when in Oradea, the third spoken language, after Romanian and Hungarian, became Italian, not only through native speakers, but also through the corollary of speakers around the central native group, employees, collaborators, family, friends. Where there is an Italian, in a professional or private entourage, everyone present becomes an Italian speaker! The closest trusted collaborators of Italian entrepreneurs are always good Italian speakers. The Italians represent a force with significant vitality and impact on the urban demographic and cultural texture. Therefore a still discreet but increasingly evident phenomenon of „re-romanisation” is taking place through presence and language; a presence that is now visible, not only through the economic realities it brings, but which also produces linguistic contamination and transformation.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
<p>Digital workflows are already widely used by the designers (architects and engineers) in creating a better Building Information Modelling (BIM) data flow. In the core of this design method is a para- metric model, which thanks to open source software can be easily customized according to the pro- ject or user needs. Shell or gridshell structures are very sensitive on the external loads, due to the low weight and big span. The accuracy and reliability are therefore a crucial point in design. More and more architects are using parametrical models, based on visual programing (like Grasshopper or Dynamo) to develop form of spatial structure. The parametric model in shell design gives a high precision in creating BIM model and is the starting point for the structural analysis. In this paper we will present a design method, in which the parametric model is not only the starting point for struc- tural analysis. Thanks to a well-established digital workflow it can occur, that structural analysis is made simultaneously with architectural form finding of the shell. The digital workflow, developed by our research group is based on the Finite Element Method (FEM). The design methodology is to create two kind of structural analyses. The first one, called global, is using beam elements to inves- tigate the general forces and deformations. The second one, called local, is using solid/volume ele- ments to investigate the connection solution. Thanks to fast information transfer between this two analysis and automation of this process, the architect can achieve information about feasibility of the whole designed structure in real time. To validate our approach the timber gridshell was de- signed. The structure with nontrivial shape and customized each of the 61 nodes, was build in 2016 in Trondheim. The nodes were manufactured with usage of the 3D printing technology.</p>

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Geelong and the Surf Coast are treated here as one entity although there are marked differences between the two communities. Sitting on the home of the Wathaurong Aboriginal group, this G21 region is geographically diverse. Geelong serviced a wool industry on its western plains, while manufacturing and its seaport past has left it as a post-industrial city. The Surf Coast has benefitted from the sea change phenomenon. Both communities have fast growing populations and have benefitted from their proximity to Melbourne. They are deeply integrated with this major urban centre. The early establishment of digital infrastructure proved an advantage to certain sectors. All creative industries are represented well in Geelong while many creatives in Torquay are embedded in the high profile and economically dominant surfing industry. The Geelong community is serviced well by its own creative industries with well-established advertising firms, architects, bookshops, gaming arcades, movie houses, music venues, newspaper headquarters, brand new and iconic performing and visual arts centres, libraries and museums, television and radio all accessible in its refurbished downtown area. Co-working spaces, collective practices and entrepreneurial activity are evident throughout the region.

Ruisinger, Ulrich, e Heike Sonntag. Internal insulation: two condensed guidelines for beginners. Department of the Built Environment, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.54337/aau541623517.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
On the way to a reliable and large-scale application of internal insulation, clear and simple guidelines for building practitioners are needed, across all phases of refurbishment planning. Closing this gap was one objective of the “IN2EuroBuild”-project, completed in 2022. As a support in the planning process and for decision-making within the framework of the project, two comprehensive guides for the planning of internal insulation measures were developed. They guide users from the as-is analysis of the building (part one) to the renovation planning of the façade, the selection of suitable insulation systems and the verification and consideration of constructional details (part two). It describes the aspects to be considered during the entire process of planning and implementing an interior insulation measure. Both parts of the guide are aimed at people who have little or no experience in the field of energy efficient refurbishment and interior insulation, but who want to be informed and at least have a say. This group of people can include, for example, building owners, investors or public authority employees, but also architects or engineers who have rarely dealt with interior insulation and therefore do not know the various planning bases and dependencies in detail. The reader should be enabled to assess an issue and select a suitable interior insulation system in the numerous, unproblematic cases in which experts do not need to be consulted.
