Abstract:

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.

This process of adaptive reusing is one method for conserving heritage buildings, however sometimes this process sacrifices the quality of daylight and well being of pupils. It has the

Objective: Some of the parliament buildings have public open and green spaces nearby. For instance, United States’ Capitol Building has Capitol Grounds, Germany’s Reichstag Building has Platz der Republik Park and Spreebogen Park, The Palace of Westminster of United Kingdom has Victoria Tower Gardens. These spaces originated as green public spaces associated with state. The parliament buildings are often landmarks. Their green spaces enhance the spatial quality. Green spaces make parliament buildings more attractive places to visit and work. There is no landscape architecture research on Türki

Abstract:

Museums housed in historical buildings combine the intrinsic value of the collections with the historical and architectural values of the building itself. Although usually made with thick elements with high thermal inertia, very effective in damping and delaying the heat flow, these buildings are usually characterized by elements with low thermal resistance, poor-quality windows and low area/volume ratio in the noblest buildings, which renders them ineffective at maintaining a stable indoor climate adequate for conservation, comfort and energy efficiency issues.

Abstract:

The restoration of historical buildings often implies a change in the main use of the building so that it can once again become a part of people’s lives. Among the interventions needed to adapt the buildings to their new purpose, improving the energy performance is always a challenge due to their particular construction solutions and the influence that these improvements can have on their protected elements. The regulations in force in European Union (EU) member states leave a gap in how the energy performance evaluations in these types of buildings can be defined, and even exclude them from t

This article presents experimental research on hygrothermal conditions in a historic wooden church in southern Poland. The scope of the research included the continuous monitoring of temperature and relative humidity in several measuring plots in different areas inside and outside of the church. We also continuously monitored the number of people attending services. This study presents a detailed analysis of the development of heat and humidity conditions within the church.

Abstract:

Historical and cultural heritage must be preserved and protected from deterioration. In particular, the integrity of structures is threatened by inadequate maintenance, exceptional events (such as fires and floods), and exposure to increasing air pollution. In addition, indoor environments may provide favorable conditions for colonizing harmful agents. Fungal contamination and growth in buildings can lead to the deterioration of surfaces. Fungi need damp environments to germinate and grow, for example, in the presence of water condensation on surfaces. In this paper, an investigation is carrie

Historical buildings need to be preserved to be remembered, and their architecture can be studied and maintained. It will maintain and preserve the building by adaptive reuse of historic buildings that adapt to the current conditions and environment. This research aims to apply the adaptive reuse of cultural heritage buildings into youth activity centers with a Betawi cultural interior design approach.

Mapping of Historic US Hookworm prevalence data from the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission (early 1900s) using current GIS (Geographic Information System) software (county shape files) illustrates the extremely high prevalence of hookworm disease (Uncariasis) in the Southeastern US at the time. Some counties in 7 states recorded 50% to 100% of the population with positive screens for hookworm in a monumental surveillance and treatment campaign. Narrative descriptions mentioned higher prevalence in “sand districts” vs. “clay districts”. In order to validate this description for historic data, fur

The aims of this paper were: (i) to compare how behavioural changes evaluated by means of rule-based and stochastic models lead to changes in indoor thermal comfort levels, and (ii) to define the patterns of indoor thermal comfort in historic residential buildings in future scenarios.
