Abstract: This article examines the growth, development, and evolution of historic value through a case study of the Loray Mill in Gastonia, North Carolina. Focusing on the first century of the building, it examines the tension between user-centered and capitalist valuation of places. This work incorporates research from oral histories, municipal and company archives, and urban planning and development records. Over the course of the building, use, and later redevelopment of the mill complex, narratives of value were developed as explanatory justifications for exploitation of workers and natur

Abstract:
The Tehran metropolitan area is extremely vulnerable to earthquakes due to the location of its active faults and its dense population. Assessing the probable damage of a high magnitude earthquake on buildings and facilities relies on a precise structural survey, which has an empirical basis depending on historic ground motions. The probability of damage and failure in discrete limits based on different ground motions is estimated by fragility curves. Using the most matching fragility curves for buildings in Tehran, the vulnerability of the hospitals in the capital, as one of the most critical

Abstract:
Very large fires (VLFs) have important implications for communities, ecosystems, air quality and fire suppression expenditures. VLFs over the contiguous US have been strongly linked with meteorological and climatological variability. Building on prior modelling of VLFs (>5000 ha), an ensemble of 17 global climate models were statistically downscaled over the US for climate experiments covering the historic and mid-21st-century periods to estimate potential changes in VLF occurrence arising from anthropogenic climate change. Increased VLF potential was projected across most historically fire

The Borah Peak, Idaho earthquake of October 28, 1983 occurred at 8:07 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time. This earthquake, which had a Richter magnitude of 7.3, was the largest earthquake to occur in Idaho in recorded history (since 1872). The epicenter was located approximately 30 km northwest of the town of MacKay (Fig. 1), in central Idaho (see also Taylor, et al). The earthquake shook eight northwestern states. Some minor damage to buildings was reported as far away as Salt Lake City, Utah and Boise, Idaho. The epicenter is located in the center of large Zone 2 seismic area, as designated in the

Abstract On 2 April 1868, an earthquake occurred which destroyed all stone buildings in southern Hawaii. It was felt on Kauai Island at 600 km, and ground shaking of intensity VII was reported up to 130 km distance. Based on the magnitude versus felt-area relationship for Hawaii, it is estimated that the magnitude of the earthquake was about 8. The foreshock sequence lasted 5 days, and the aftershocks lasted for years to perhaps a decade. It appears that this earthquake was one of the very few largest events in historic time in the United States, excluding Alaska, but its return period is unkn

Abstract While scholars have studied both the visual and material culture of slavery and the history of efforts to design cities to avert fire, the two topics have not often overlapped. In the southern United States during the antebellum period, fire was a “weapon of the weak,” and architects devised instruments for fire deterrence—or at least fire suppression—in response to perceived threats. In Building Fears of Fire: Architecture and the Suppression of Black Insurrection in the U.S. Antebellum South, Jonah Rowen brings these two lines of inquiry together to ask: Where do architectural aesth

But only one of them can dominate under specific historical conditions. The adopted political and economic strategy may be clearly seen in the funeral ritual of the society.

Fire codes seek to ensure the health, safety and property of the community by regulating the design and materials of buildings in the community.

Abstract:
Unblanced forced-air heating systems create a situation that may be detrimental to the building envelope. These systems create an air pressure differential, which acts as a moisture transport mechanism, which has the potential to carry moisture, through the smallest of openings in the building envelope. Once this warm air enters the wall cavity it comes into contact with the unheated surfaces of the components making up the building envelope, which are below dew point during the heating months. As this moisture-laden air reaches its dew point, condensation occurs.<br>Department of Architecture

Abstract:
The hilly area of Central Italy represents one of the most original characteristics of Italian agrarian system distinguished by a particular form and technique of land management, la Mezzadria (sharecropping), which was a contract stipulated between a landowner and the farmer, reflected in the construction of open space as well as artifacts. The structure of rural settlements typical of sharecropping is a mosaic of terrains with scattered farmhouses (case coloniche), connected by a dense road network. The architecture of these structures is always the same with only slight variations articulat

Abstract:
The ruins of Castiglion Balzetti, from the aristocratic family that initially had lordship over this territory, lie isolated, far from roads, communication routes and inhabited places, in the woods of the Val di Merse, in the province of Siena. This is why it is commonly known as “Castiglion che Dio sol sa”. Few historical sources are available on this settlement. It is mentioned for the first time in the Sienese statutes in 1262, being under the jurisdiction of Siena. In the early 14th century, it belonged to the powerful Sienese Saracini family with an important mill located in the Merse riv

Abstract:
Violent conflicts and crime have reached new heights in Nigeria, as cases of kidnapping, armed banditry, and communal unrests continue to tear at the core of the ethnoreligious divides in the country. Southern Kaduna has witnessed a virulent spree of communal unrest in northern Nigeria over the last decade due to its polarized politics and power differentials between the various groups in the area, particularly the Christians and Muslims, who are almost evenly split. In response to their experiences of violence, the people of that region have also shown incredible resilience and grit in transf

This rapid review examines evidence on the lessons learned from initiatives aimed at embedding better understanding of cultural heritage protection within international monitoring, reporting and response efforts in conflict and protracted crisis. The report uses the terms cultural property and cultural heritage interchangeably. Since the signing of the Hague Treaty in 1954, there has bee a shift from 'cultural property' to 'cultural heritage'. Culture is seen less as 'property' and more in terms of 'ways of life'.
