The paper is about the description and analysis of methods and forms of organization of sacred landscape and religious architecture of the autochthonous people of the Pacific, to be compared to the first primitive forms of architectural art in Eurasia and Australia. The article discusses such elements of religious architecture of Polynesian peoples as the communal houses of the Maori of New Zealand, megalithic structures of Easter (Rapa Nui) island, as well as the marae ritual areas in Polynesia. A hypothesis is discussed that some of the elements of the most ancient sacred landscape of the Pacific may be considered universal for the development of human culture and spirituality. Similar forms could be considered as prototypes of the ancient sacred constructions and settlement architecture of Eurasia.

This decade can be noted for several distinct approaches to Māori architecture, reflecting a variety of nationalistic impulses. This paper offers a brief overview of the diversity of Māori architecture and ideas in this period. Pākehā, in the search for national identity, and also reflecting the interests of the global Arts and Crafts movement, were enthused by the local example of the carved and decorated whare whakairo, native timbers, Māori adzing techniques and local flora and fauna. This can be seen in the work of architects such as JW Chapman Taylor, as well as the symbolism and trademarks of popular culture, and the pattern of museum acquisitions. By the twentieth century Māori were seen as a culture that could soon become extinct and this is reflected in the images of artists such as Goldie ("The Calm Close of Valour’s Various Days"), Lindauer's interest in preserving ersatz records of tradition and custom, and Dittmer's interest in myth and legend. Parliamentarian Āpirana Ngata, a member of the Young Maori Party, was very influential in the revival of certain customary arts (seen in the later establishment of schools of Māori arts and crafts in Rotorua) but he and his colleagues promoted a form of these arts that while "encouraging national Maori unity" also suppressed the diversity of activity in modern figurative painting and tribal identity for instance. These approaches can be contrasted with the patterns of building by other Māori movements more opposed to the government and actively seeking the restoration of Māori lands, rights and mana. Rua Kēnana's settlement at Maungapōhatu in the 1910s and TW Rātana's hall and church building later in the century (his ministry began in 1918) eschew the use of any meeting house forms or customary motifs – they were turning to new forms and symbols to sustain Māori identity in the new century.

It is more than obvious to say that the signing of the Treaty was the big event of the 1840s. The initial Treaty signing at Waitangi on 6 February 1840 by Lieutenant-Governor William Hobson, representing the British Crown, and "about 45 Maori chiefs" has become a defining moment in New Zealand's history, but, as Smith notes,
[o]nly recently has the Treaty of Waitangi become central to national life ... Hastily devised at the time, the treaty sheets have become a national monument: they mean different things to different groups but have had an evolving official interpretation placed upon them.
The Treaty "is the basis of the Crown's authority and legitimised European settlement in New Zealand," but important differences between the English version and the Māori version (which most Māori signed) include differences in the translations of article one (the cession of sovereignty vs "te kāwanatanga katoa" (governorship)), and silence in the te reo Māori text "on the Crown right of pre-emption. It promised the Queen "hokonga" - the buying and selling of land that Maori were willing to part with - but not exclusively, nor even as the highest priority.

Full textAbstract:
In the research and development of multiagent systems (MAS), one of the central issues is how to conciliate the autonomy of the agents with a desirable and stable behavior of the MAS as a whole. Agent organizations have been proposed as a suitable metaphor for engineering social order in MAS. However, this emphasis has led to several proposals of organizational models for MAS design, thus creating an organizational interoperability problem: How to ensure that agents, possibly designed to work with different organizational models, could interact and collectively solve problems? In this paper, we have adopted techniques from Model Driven Engineering to handle this problem. In particular, we propose an abstract and integrated view of the main concepts that have been used to specify agent organizations, based on several organizational models present in the literature. We apply this integrated view to design MAORI, a model-based architecture for organizational interoperability. We present a MAORI application example that has shown that our approach is computationally feasible, enabling agents endowed with heterogeneous organizational models to cooperatively solve a problem.

What began as a humble sketch on the back of an envelope, the Hundertwasser Art Centre with Wairau Māori Art Gallery project has evolved into a unique and ambitious quest for artistic representation in Northland. The history of this controversial public art project, yet to be built, has seen a number of debates take place, locally and nationally, around the importance of art in urban and rural societies and the broader socio-economic context surrounding the development of civic architecture in New Zealand. This project has not only challenged the people of Northland to think about the role of art in their community, but it has prompted New Zealanders to question whether there is an appropriate level of investment in the arts in New Zealand.

Full textAbstract:
In 1861 Scott designed an innovative hybrid for Christchurch Cathedral, New Zealand, combining a stone exterior with an independent wooden interior, at once expression of the primitive ruggedness of what he imagined to be the Maori wood tradition and an experimental response for this earthquake-prone colony.Commissioning George Gilbert Scott (1811-78) to design a cathedral for the relatively new settlement at Christchurch, in the province of Canterbury, New Zealand, was an ambitious undertaking by a predominantly Anglican community that had been established only eleven years earlier. The cathedral, which was constructed between late 1864 and 1904, was a conventional stone building, designed by Scott and executed locally by B. W. Mountfort. However, in an unusually experimental move, Scott had earlier proposed a structure that incorporated a stone exterior with an interior frame made of a series of high piers of New Zealand native timber, each almost 50 feet tall. The dramatic interior of this proposal referenced a wide variety of timber- and church-building traditions; had it been constructed, its tall wooden structure would have been ‘unique amongst colonial cathedrals’. After examining previously discussed sources for his design, this paper speculates upon further influences, testing — in particular — Barry Bergdoll’s assertion that the design was an expression of the ‘primitive ruggedness’ that Scott imagined derived from Maori work in wood, examples of which had been known in Europe since the 1770s.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores post-contact changes to the ordinary Maori whare. The main physical characteristics of the ordinary whare at contact are identified by accessing archaeological and written 18th century ethnographic data. Changes in the ordinary whare in the period from contact to 1940 are discussed. Evidence from historical archaeology, written 19th century ethnographic accounts and from previous academic research is considered. In addition, changes in the ordinary whare are highlighted, based on evidence from an empirical survey of whare depicted in sketches, paintings, engravings and photographs. Rigorous statistical analysis was beyound the scope of a Master�s thesis, however trends in the data are presented. A range of these are reproduced illustrating the text. After changing gradually for 130 years, the ordinary Maori whare appears to have been widely replaced by European-style houses in the early decades of the 20th century.
In Aotearoa/New Zealand in the 1990s, it is apparent that Maori culture has survived the 220 or so years since contact. These years entailed increasing contact between Maori and European. In mid 20th century academic studies of Maori communities, European-style houses were found to have been used in line with continuing Maori conceptions. This evidence indicates that traditional ideas were transferred to European-style houses. The gradual changes in the whare prior to the 20th century indicate that it was a conservative social construction of space conforming to expectations about vernacular architecture generally. But the process by which Maori culture was maintained and reproduced was complicated that further study of Maori conceptions of space within the home is required.

Thesis, University of Canterbury. Culture, Literature and Society, 2007. http://hdl.handle.net/10092/1027.
Full textAbstract:
A whakapapa of the marae Whakapapa, a Maori word, is often abstracted to the English language as the word genealogy. Whakapapa however has a more subtle and comprehensive meaning in Maori. In that language it has complex connotations of genealogical lines, yes, but also the history of the people involved and perhaps most importantly, the inter-relationships between those people. Degrees of consanguinity are all important when establishing relationships within Te Ao Maori - the Maori world. Marae, the basis of this thesis, is another Maori word. A marae, at its simplest, might be referred to as an agglomeration of separated, functional buildings on an area of reserved land, usually deemed to be sacral to some extent. Marae have an ancient history both in New Zealand Maori culture, but really originating at least in part, in the older cultures from which our Maori culture was eventually derived, from other, earlier settled, Pacific Islands. This thesis then is a genealogy, a sort of cultural history of marae, but is based on the idea and Maori sense of the whakapapa and so partakes of the nuances involved. It is these additional complexities that are referred to by the use of the word whakapapa in the title of this thesis. This thesis investigates the lineage of the marae, tracing it back to legendary roots, but it also examines the relationships between the components of the marae and also the place the marae has established within Maori (and other) communities. Beyond the historical forms of the marae that this thesis investigates are the other aspects that delineate what a marae really is. It is not simply a group of buildings at all, although this is a common non-Maori understanding of its disposition. A marae is a tapu or sacred space, and within or nearby that space are buildings whose form, function and meaning have only come to their present conjunction in (written) historic times. What makes the marae is the combination of the people and the ritual that is involved on a marae, the marae space and lastly, the physical buildings. The buildings, particularly carved houses, have additional meaning that they lend to the thread of the story. They themselves represent the whakapapa of the marae, and specifically of the hapu (or sub-tribe) who inhabit that marae. They do this by direct representation, but also by analogy and by spiritual means that are little dealt with in most literature. Ancestors in Te Ao Maori are deemed to exist within the very fabric of the building and have a renewed or continuing existence that is created in the first instance by a melange of ritual and belief. This thesis discusses both the usage of ritual to create such physical interjacence, utilised in modern times within whare (houses), and the continued use of regular ritual on marae for human functions. It is only together that a complete modern marae is created. With any of these elements missing the marae form is truncated or lessened and diminished in some ways. So, marae which have been recreated in preserved forms, such as those in museums, are discussed at length in this thesis, by contrast with marae in regular usage for 'traditional' purposes. In essence then, this is an investigation of the marae, but in terms, manners and ways, which have not always been fully or comprehensively dealt with before.

Depuis 1991, une experience originale a ete menee en etroite collaboration entre le craterre-eag (laboratoire de recherche a l'ecole d'architecture de grenoble) et la mission archeologique francaise a mari (syrie). Cette experience nous a permis de mener une recherche selon une voie nouvelle pour poser les bases d'une reelle connaissance des problemes lies a la degradation des vestiges archeologiques en briques de terre crue. Les connaissances des phenomenes physico-chimiques lies a l'erosion des architectures en terre crue sont assez limitees. Or, quasiment toutes les recherches sur la preservation de l'architecture concernent des materiaux inertes comme la pierre, le beton, la terre cuite. . . Les quelques experiences qui ont ete entreprises de part le monde, dans le domaine de l'architecture en terre, restent timides et les resultats obtenus ont rarement connu une application significative. Le manque de references dans ce domaine se fait remarquer et le besoin de combler ce vide est urgent. Notre recherche vient rejoindre ces preoccupations et nous a permis a la fois de contribuer a l'approfondissement des connaissances du materiau terre, constituer une base de references pour d'autres projets et deboucher sur des propositions concretes de traitement adaptees aux ruines cinq fois millenaires du site de mari. Ces objectifs supposent une demarche scientifique privilegiant le travail d'observation et d'experimentation in situ, et une demarche historique afin d'apprehender les valeurs intrinseques des monuments a traiter. Ainsi, la question de preservation des ruines de marine se pose plus en terme de recettes techniques de traitement, mais integre objectivement les qualites intrinseques des ruines en se referant le plus souvent possible a leur substance historique et a leur potentiel archeologique. En conjuguant les connaissances d'aujourd'hui et les savoir-faire antiques, cela nous a permis d'adapter notre intervention dans le respect des vestiges a conserver.

Resumo: Os concursos de arquitetura têm sido um instrumento recorrente na busca por inovação e solução de problemas complexos da metrópole. Além disso, é devido considerar o fato dos concursos serem um sistema legal de contratação tendo como objetivo a realização de obras públicas, como no caso das habitações de interesse social. Recomenda-se através da Constituição Brasileira, por meio da Lei 8666, que o concurso de arquitetura "aberto", caracterizado pelo anonimato e isonomia, seja "preferencialmente" aplicado dando cabimento, então, às contratações justificadas pelo "notório saber", qualificados como os concursos "fechados". O déficit habitacional brasileiro é de aproximadamente 4 milhões de habitações. Visando a reversão desses números, o Governo Federal Brasileiro lançou desde 2007, o Programa "Minha Casa Minha Vida", que até o presente momento realizou cerca de 1 milhão de habitações. Por outro lado, a Espanha construiu mais de 5 milhões de unidades habitacionais entre 2000 e 2005, dando origem a conhecida "bolha imobiliária" que contribuiu com a atual crise econômica e financeira do país. Salva as devidas proporções, a experiência espanhola é um exemplo considerável, tendo como objetivo a realização de habitações de interesse social por meio dos concursos de arquitetura. Dessa forma, optou-se pelo delineamento do estudo de caso, sendo então avaliados dois Concursos de Arquitetura para habitações de interesse social, que são: o Concurso Renova SP, organizado pela Secretaria de Habitação do Estado de São Paulo, em 2011 e Vallecas 49, promovido pela Emplesa Municipal de la Vivienda y Suelo de Madri, em 2006. Diante desse cenário, esta pesquisa objetiva identificar os parâmetros utilizados na organização dos concursos por meio da comparação dos editais entre si, além da comparação destes com as atas dos julgamentos, complementadas, também, com entrevistas com os participantes, os promotores e a banca julgadora dos dois estudos de caso. Com base nesse método, foi possível identificar as semelhanças e diferenças que prejudicaram ou qualificaram o processo e propor, então, uma espécie de roteiro para viabilizar e qualificar a elaboração de futuros concursos de arquitetura
Abstract: The architectural competitions are an instrument looking for innovation and solving complex problems of the metropolis. The competitions are a legal system with the objective of hiring public works, as in the case of social housing. It is recommended by the Law 8666, the "open" competition, characterized by its anonymity and equality, as "preferably" applied, giving place to the hiring justified by "public knowledge", named as "invited" competitions. The Brazilian housing deficit is approximately 6 million homes. Aiming to reverse those numbers, the Brazilian Federal Government launched since 2007, a Program named "Minha Casa Minha Vida", which until now held about 1 million homes. Moreover, Spain has built more than 5 million dwellings between 2000 and 2005, yielding known "housing bubble" that contributed to the current financial and economic crisis in the country. For good and ill, the Spanish experience is an important example, aiming the realization of social housing by the architectural competitions. That way, a case study was chosen as methodology by evaluating two architectural competitions for social housing, which are: Renova SP Competition, organized by the Department of Housing of the State of São Paulo, in 2011 and Vallecas 49, sponsored by Madrid¿s Municipal Agency, in 2006. Given this scenario, this research aims to identify the parameters utilized in the organization of both competitions by the parallel between each public notice, and the comparison of them with the judgment protocol, further on the interviews with the participants, promoters and juries. From this method, it was possible to identify the similarities and the contrasts that prejudiced or qualified the process in both cases, so that it is proposed a kind of guideline, which aims to facilitate and improve the formulation of futures architectural competitions

Resumo: Recentemente o processo de urbanização das cidades brasileiras tem seguido um modelo de expansão horizontal, com a construção de novos bairros afastados dos centros urbanos, e com moradias em áreas periféricas. Dentre os problemas decorrentes, destacam-se a ocupação de áreas cada vez maiores, os problemas ambientais, a ocupação de áreas de proteção e de áreas de risco, os problemas sociais, a gentrificação, a especulação imobiliária, o distanciamento de locais de trabalho, a falta de infraestrutura adequada, além de problemas com assentamentos precários e habitações de baixa qualidade. Em resposta, arquitetos e urbanistas apontam, há algumas décadas, a necessidade de "retorno ao centro", sendo atribuída à habitação, dentre outras soluções, potencialidade de melhoria das áreas centrais, adensadas e consolidadas. Ainda que haja variadas pesquisas sobre o assunto, na atualidade, ainda existem lacunas na bibliografia, principalmente no que diz respeito à análise crítica das práticas recentes e à formulação de novas teorias. Portanto, o objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar as possibilidades metodológicas, teóricas e projetuais, na arquitetura e urbanismo contemporâneos, para projetos de habitação de interesse social em centros urbanos consolidados. Para tanto, foram analisados projetos recentes de habitação de interesse social na área central da cidade de São Paulo, reunindo e organizando documentos sobre o tema da habitação social no Brasil, a fim de se contribuir com o processo de elaboração de novos projetos dos programas habitacionais e de suprir a lacuna existente na bibliografia. Complementarmente, realizou-se a análise e a comparação da base teórica, técnica e metodológica de tais projetos com outros, de natureza semelhante, apresentados em áreas centrais de Madri no começo do século XXI. Os estudos de caso revelam boas soluções de projetos preocupados com o contexto urbano e a qualidade dos resultados. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa pretende contribuir com a discussão sobre a produção habitacional no país, em contraste com a realidade na Espanha
Abstract: The process of urbanization of Brazilian cities has recently followed a horizontal expansion model, with the construction of new districts far from urban centers, and with housing construction on the outskirts of the cities. Among the problems originating from this, one should emphasize the occupation of increasingly larger areas, the environmental problems, the occupation of protected areas and risk areas, the social problems, the gentrification, the land speculation, the distancing from workplaces, the lack of adequate infrastructure and the problems with slums or substandard housing and poor quality housing. In response, architects and city planners have been pointing out for decades the necessity of "returning to the center", assigning to housing, among other solutions, the potentiality for improvement of dense and consolidated central areas. Despite extensive research on the topic, at present, there still are lacunas in the bibliography, mainly regarding the critical analysis on recent practices and on the formulation of new theories. Thus, the objective of this research is to analyze the methodological, theoretical and project possibilities in contemporary architecture and city planning for social housing projects in consolidated urban centers. With this purpose, projects of social housing in the central area of the city of São Paulo were analyzed, and documents about the topic of social housing in Brazil were collected and organized. All this was done in an effort to contribute to the process of elaboration of new projects for housing programs and to contribute towards filling the lacuna that exists in the bibliography. In addition, these Brazilian projects were contrasted to Spanish projects of a similar nature, elaborated in central areas of Madrid, in the beginning of the 21st century; the analysis and comparison of the theoretical, technical and methodological basis of both sets of projects were made. The case studies reveal good project solutions concerned with the urban context and the quality of the results. In this manner, this research aims at contributing to the discussion on housing production in the country, in contrast to the reality in Spain

Engels-Schwarzpaul, Anna-Christina. "Myth, symbol, ornament: The loss of meaning in transition." 2001. http://wwwlib.umi.com/dissertations/fullcit/3029985.
Full textAbstract:
Whole document restricted, see Access Instructions file below for details of how to access the print copy.How meaning is articulated, suggested or repressed in transition processes is an inherently social phenomenon. The history of theorising about ornament bears evidence to this as much as do current practices of ornamentation. From myths, as narratives of meaning, to ‘mere ornament’ – the various signifying practices (and forms of life within which they take place) determine how meaning changes. People will perceive such change differently, depending on their perspectives and circumstances and, under certain conditions, change can be conceived of as loss. This thesis, in its theoretical part, explores issues pertaining to meaning and ornament in epistemology, philosophy, sociology, semiotics, aesthetics and psychoanalysis. In its practical part it seeks to make connections with signifying practices involving ornament in the life-worlds of users, the use of ornament in public buildings, bicultural relationships involving appropriation or misappropriation, and the education of designers in New Zealand. For that, data derived from four empirical research projects are presented and theorised. In the fourth part, theories and practices are brought together to shed light on struggles with ornamental meaning in the past and in the present. Theories, with their classification of myths, symbols and ornament, ignore wide ranges of signifying practices and privilege some form of significations at the expense of others. Because of their separation from the language- games and forms of life of ornamental practice, they often fail to grasp issues that are important to non-theorists. All the research projects demonstrated that the large majority of participants like and relate to ornament. They also showed, however, that Pakeha traditions of ornament are not only perceived to have suffered the same historical rupture as those in the West but also that the theoretical discreditation upon which they were based was used as a tool of oppression when applied to Maori art. Attempts to explain bicultural practices of appropriation or misappropriation without reference to the history of colonisation and present power configurations must fail. Whether or not a cultural image retains or loses its meaning depends on factors such as knowledge, understanding, relationality and co-operation. If culture is, however, treated as a resource for commodification – as it is by the culture industries – cultural elements are subjected to rules inherent in marketing and capitalist economies and their meaning is deliberately changed. Those who ought to be able to deal competently with these issues (designers and other cultural intermediaries) receive little in their education to prepare them for the ornamental strategies and tactics of their future clients. The academic environment is still largely determined by modernist agendas, and ornament as a topic and as practice – continues to be repressed. If a meaningful ornamental language and practice relevant to Aotearoa is to be shared, created, and sustained the divisions between theory and the life-world need to be interrogated; the distance through an assumed superiority of Pakeha to Maori history, culture and people relinquished; and a type of conversation must commence that takes seriously the Treaty of Waitangi as the founding document of this country. The partnership concept of this document facilitates conversation about differential positions and rules and can ‘take us out of our old selves by the power of strangeness, to aid us in becoming new beings’ (Rorty, 1980: 289).

Abstract The chapter argues that indigenous data sovereignty is not new, but rather is rooted in the practices and protocols Indigenous communities developed to secure, verify, and maintain traditional and ancestral knowledge. Centring Hawai‘i, this chapter provides a comparative Indigenous epistemological framework for reconsidering artificial intelligence (AI) as Maoli Intelligence (real, indigenous, Hawaiian). It provides a mini example in the successful inter-Indigenous prototyping project called Hua Ki‘i, which produced a point-and-click Hawaiian language application. Because ʻIke Hawai‘i is instantiated in the largest indigenous language oral-to-textual archive in North America and the Polynesian Pacific, it provides sufficient materials to develop approaches that are scalable to other contexts. The author makes the case for using Maoli Intelligence to shape the computational architecture of our future digital technologies, asking what the future of computational science, AI, and an ethics based out of Indigenous concepts of relationality might become if Indigenous technological capacity is allowed to flourish.

Full textAbstract:
The new 16th century fortification theories, with which “modern-style” fortification began, were also established by the sea. The control of the strategic maritime frontier from Livorno to Piombino and to the islands was implemented through articulated and complex instruments developed both by the coasts and by the sea; famous architects of the time contributed to these fortification solutions. The present contribution aims to investigate in parallel the evolution of the port fortification systems of Livorno and Portoferraio from the first half of the 16th century to the end of the 17th century. The two systems were strategic strongholds of the maritime frontier of Medicean Tuscany, which developed within a complicated chessboard full of disputes in which the new Spanish frontier broke through. In this articulated framework, Livorno’s forefront and the military port of Elba were constantly fortified synergically and dynamically according to the principles of the "science of war".

The history of theorizing over typology in architecture is centuries old. Quartremere de Quincy begins to discuss the idea of typology in the 18th century by classification – tent, cave and hut 1. Contemporary Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand codifies architecture within type 2. The postmodernists weigh in with Adolf Rossi’s reclassification of typologies regarding geometric form and historical archetypes 3. These theories put into context the contemporary design ideas of their day. However, there are new versions of form currently infiltrating design that have not been classified. These latest sculptural gestures are buildings whose singular idea of form directs every decision. These form-driven edifices by “stararchitects” and their protégé have left an indelible mark on contemporary design. The author has dubbed five form types: tubular, ribbon, peeling, shed and fractal. Each adhere to a geometric construct that is embedded in every major design decision. Within these designs the question is not whether the form fits the building type – a home, a church, a museum. The question is, does the building hold clearly and well to the formal strategy? In Tubular Form Type | understanding design complexity 4, the tubular form type was dissected. Building on this work, this paper introduces the ribbon form type. Within this ribbon form type designers must still answer the pragmatic questions of opening/light, architectural program, touching the ground, and termination of form that architecture has always grappled with. However, in this new form type the answers to these questions are built around the sculptural motivation of ribbon. Inspired by the work of Anthony di Mari, which uses simple diagrams to discuss complex ideas 5, this paper explains the ribbon through diagramming. This work endeavors to reveal basic principles of contemporary form and develop a critical study to help the next generation of designers understand geometric complexity.

Indigenous people are overrepresented in the criminal justice system throughout the world.1 In Hawai’i, the 1893 overthow of the Kingdom of Hawai’i subjected Native Hawaiian people (kanaka maoli) to the sufferings of colonization, that has likewise contributed to the disproportionate over-representation of Native Hawaiians in every part of the criminal justice system.2 In response, multiple task forces have called for a new vision for corrections that restores Native Hawaiian individuals to their families, communities, and the land (aina).3 In 2018, the State of Hawai’i Department of Public Safety (DPS) established a partnership with the University of Hawaii Community Design Center (UHCDC) to explore a new corrections model for Hawai’i, a restorative model that addresses and leverages the state’s unique social, cultural, ecological, and economic context. The center assembled a multi-departmental team of faculty, staff, and students from the School of Architecture, College of Engineering, and Social Science Research Institute, to develop different studies to inform this new vision. The School of Architecture’s scope evolved into the development of a Cultural Competency Framework aimed at “decolonizing” the state’s correctional system, understanding facilities, programs, and agency operations as an inseparable whole. This discussion follows the development of a Cultural Competency Framework, that leveraged three tiers of university activity: teaching, research, and outreach to also produce a Cultural Design Process and Resource, and Aina-based Design Strategies that ultimately aim at restorative cultural landscapes for incarcerated individuals.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract A particularly corrosive and poisonous by-product of a range of feedstocks, including fossil resources like coal and natural gas as well as renewable resources, is hydrogen sulfide (H2S). H2S is also a possible source of hydrogen gas, a significant green energy carrier. Our business would greatly benefit from the recovery of H2 from chemical compounds that have been classified as pollutants, such as H2S. Due to the large volumes of H2S that are readily accessible across the world and the expanding significance of hydrogen and its by-products in the global energy landscape, attempts have been undertaken in recent years to separate H2 and Sulphur from H2S using various methods. In addition to deep gas reservoirs, hydrogen sulfide may be found in a wide range of other reservoir types. Due to their low use, these gas reserves often have little economic viability. Thanks to novel strategies for converting hydrogen sulfide into hydrogen and its remaining components, it has become possible to efficiently recover hydrocarbons and its hydrogen sulfide components. This paper introduces a unique deep learning (DL) architecture for improving field recovery over time based on thermal-enhanced recovery. We investigated performance of the framework on the Maari Field in New Zealand. The ultimate goal is to optimize recovery and, within the limits of processing, reach a specific volume of H2S. The optimization results indicate the ability to increase oil and natural gas recovery while constraining H2S levels within the reservoir and converting the associated H2S into hydrogen. The deep learning architecture that has been built provides a technique for developing field strategies to improve sustainability for thermal-enhanced recovery strategies. The framework is flexible enough to incorporate additional reservoir and production parameters.
