Phulgence, Winston F. "Monument building, memory making and remembering slavery in the contemporary Atlantic world." Thesis, University of York, 2016. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/18350/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a comparative study of the creation of monuments and memorials to commemorate the Transatlantic Slave Trade and slavery in the Circum-Atlantic region. It is based on interviews conducted with people who were directly involved in the processes which created these monuments, to understand their role in the process and to gain insight into the forces and issues which impacted on the process. Since monuments and memorials to the Transatlantic Slave Trade are in public spaces, archival research was done to ascertain the level of public discourse generated by the memorialization process and how this discourse impacted the process. The case studies were chosen to allow for the comparison of the process of memorialization in different parts of the region which had different historical relationships with the Transatlantic Slave Trade. This allowed for analysis of memorialization within different political contexts. The first case study was Ghana an African nation with ports from which for enslaved Africans trafficked across the Atlantic. Saint Lucia is an English speaking, Eastern Caribbean island nation which received enslaved Africans during the period of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Saint Lucia has a majority population that is descended from formerly enslaved Africans. The third case study is of the state of Louisiana in the United States of America which received large numbers of enslaved Africans whose descendants are a minority in the population. The comparison of these case studies illustrates how the memorialization process is directly impacted by the contemporary socio-political environment and the economics of each state. It also illustrates how the power of various stakeholders involved in the process creates silences and engenders forgetting, as various agendas are pursued.

Full textAbstract:
Prehistoric monument building, particularly that on islands, is reviewed. The insularity and nature of island societies and the question of possible social stress arising from these activities is posed. The degree of stress must be quantified and the technique of energetics analysis is the best available. Prehistoric Malta is chosen for detailed examination of these questions. The island is first described, including its location, geography, geology, climate and extant remains, together with the cultural phases and possible structure of its society. The rationale of an energetics analysis is covered with several examples of its application and a justification of its utility for Malta. The Ggantija temple is chosen for particular study and detailed drawings of its remains are given. The architecture of the original temple is hypothesised and the materials involved quantified. For each material the unit labour costs of procurement (including the location of sources), transport, preparation and construction are estimated. By combining the quantities of materials used with the unit labour costs, the total labour requirements are computed. A sensitivity analysis, allowing for significant variation of all the important figures, is given. Previous work on labour requirements is reviewed and found to be a grave over-estimate. The prehistoric population numbers, and the availability of temple building workers, is estimated. Combinations of the figures for labour required and labour available allows estimates of the percentage demand on worker's time to be made, including a sensitivity analysis. These percentages give a quantified view of the stress which temple building placed on society. Contrary to previous suggestions embedded in the literature, no excessive stress is indicated. Further, there is no evidence of any concentration of building effort at the end of the period and it is unlikely that temple construction per se contributed to that culture's downfall. These are major conclusions and justify the use of energetics analysis and the work involved

Full textAbstract:
Because of their age, Declared Monuments require more maintenance and repair as their building components have inevitably deteriorated with longer usage over time. Declared Monuments require a high standard in conservation, and the principle of having minimum intervention and degree of change is a basic and essential requirement. Based on this fundamental principle, the repair and maintenance of Declared Monuments will not only keep up the physical condition of the building but will also provide a safe and comfortable environment for the users and retain the heritage significance of the building.
Today, a number of historic schools have become Declared Monuments based on their heritage significance. As functioning schools, they are subject to regular repair and maintenance. However, most of the maintenance teams in Hong Kong and their employed consultants only focus on maintaining these schools in modern terms, such as reinforced concrete repair, water seepage repair, re-roofing etc. The techniques on how to maintain and repair the building as an important architectural heritage is not a matter of concern. As a qualified building surveyor, the author finds this a matter of concern.
The focus of this study is to explore a systematic and user-friendly approach to solving repair and maintenance problems in school that is a Declared Monument. The case selected to illustrate the repair and maintenance techniques is June Li Building of St. Stephen’s Girls’ College, which is a Declared Monument. The methodology adopted is to provide a side-by-side comparison of how maintenance and repair are carried out for heritage building and a modern building. Problems at different parts of the school building are identified and the appropriate solutions are proposed.published_or_final_version

Nelson, Andrew Kelly. "José, Joe, Zé Carioca: Walt Disney's Good Neighbor Colonial "Monument" in Brazil." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2017. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/6246.
Full textAbstract:
Although Walt Disney's early animated feature films were successful, a variety of economic, operational, and external forces required him to continually be on the cutting edge of new ideas and technologies in order for his studio to continue operations. Latin America became the studio's source of inspiration in the early 1940s, sprouting from Walt Disney's involvement with the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs. Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeros were the result. While many critics have decried Disney's involvement in Latin America as being an apparatus of cultural imperialism and economic exploitation, they almost universally give him credit for his pursuit of cultural authenticity within the films. They are, however, sparing in what ways such was done and are reticent in declaring that he fulfilled that quest. As one who was involved politically and economically in the shaping of a nation, with his enterprise benefiting as a result, Walt Disney can in fact be seen as a colonial, imperial power. Within Brazil, José Carioca was the "monument" he erected to that end. Unlike full-fledged colonial figures in earlier centuries, however, his "monument" was overall friendly and was not based on the image of a sovereign leader, but a character that was intended to be seen as native. Where Disney was bound by the interests of the government he represented, and consequentially the Brazilian government, his "monument" was imbued with hues that were inherently skewed toward those entities; however, he worked within those parameters to present a credible image. This thesis seeks to substantiate those ways and how the original monument-like figure Disney erected in the Brazilian public square, the image of José Carioca in Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeros, led to unity—and not division—as most imperial monuments had done in earlier centuries. A possible explanation as to how Disney's multiple nuanced iterations of the character leads to such critique of the original "monument" will also be provided.

Full textAbstract:
Il existe en France plus de 44 236 monuments historiques, dont la diversité des typologies architecturales s’est considérablement accrue ces dernières décennies (édifices industriels, constructions modernes, etc.). Cette diversification constitue cependant une perte de repère des critères discriminant les monuments à conserver. Cette thèse de doctorat s’intéresse donc aux processus de patrimonialisation et à la sélection des édifices à protéger. Précisément, cette étude porte sur le phénomène inverse, celui des annulations de protection, en France depuis 1990. La présente recherche vise à mettre en évidence les facteurs intrinsèques et extrinsèques des radiations de protection - en net accroissement, particulièrement dans les cœurs de ville - et permettre ainsi une réflexion sur l’évolution du patrimoine et des politiques de protectionIn France there are more than 44.236 listed buildings, whose diversity of architectural typolo-gies increased significantly these last decades (industrials buildings, modern constructions, etc.). However, this diversification will entail the loss of criteria specifying the monuments which are meant to be preserved. This doctoral thesis is thus focused on the processes of pat-rimonialisation and on selection rules of buildings considered for listing. To be precise, this study relates to the opposite fact: thereviews, the cancellations of protections and therefore the delisting of buildings, in France, since 1990. This research aims to highlight the intrinsic and extrinsic factors of delisting requests – a net increase, mostly in the city centres - and thus to get an overall picture of the situation on inheritance evolution and on process for listing or delisting

Full textAbstract:
My research is on the significance of building practice at sites that are known as chambered monuments or long cairns and long mounds. In particular, this work focuses on the long cairn sites of Gwernvale, Powys and Hazleton North, Gloucestershire; and the long mound sites of Easton Down, Beckhampton Road, Horslip, and South Street in the Avebury region of Wiltshire, and Gussage Cow Down 78 and 294 in Dorset. These sites are considered to be among the first 'architectures' in Britain. These architectures have been considered by archaeologists to characterise part of what we know about the neolithic in southern Britain. There are features and material culture associated with the mesolithic at these sites but this evidence has previously been understood as having made a 'place' for architecture, or as having created a 'setting' for later architectural constructions. I am writing to challenge our architectural understandings of these sites. In the following chapters trees, the processing of wood, hearth settings, the working of flint, grassland, worked earth, the processing of animal bone are recognised as having been a part of the connective dynamics of architectural construction. I will argue that material culture that was a part of these activities was left in these areas. These small things were parted, re-assembled and entwined together into assemblages that blur archaeologists distinctions between fifth and fourth millennia B.C. lives and that blur distinctions between hunter-gatherer and pastoralist (and partly agriculturalist) practices. Practices of making did not remain the same; neither did practices of connecting, parting, re-assembling and entwining materials. Material culture, as a media for making and understanding connections between people and things, did not remain constant. However, through encounters with the material and historical conditions of others lives, people made something of living and dying during the fifth and fourth millennia.

This thesis deals with the Influence of Renovation on the Market Value of a Real Estate Cultural Monument. The first part of the thesis explains the terms, which are specific for the issue. The second part contains information about the selected Real Estate Cultural Monument. The influence of the reconstruction was investigated by analytical and Saaty method. A situational analysis of the market was performed, then suitable methods for valuing the Real Estate Cultural Monument were selected, namely cost valuation according to the valuation decree and valuation in a comparative manner. It is necessary to mention that the valuation of the Real Estate Cultural Monument in the state before the reconstruction and in the state after the reconstruction was performed. Subsequently, the resulting values were compared. In the end, the investment spent on the reconstruction is also verbally evaluated.

Full textAbstract:
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukrainian society faced a new reality. The new reality involved consolidation and transformation of collective identities. The reinvigoration of national identity led to a change in the emphasis on how the past was dealt with – many things which were regarded as negative by the Soviet regime became presented as positive in independent Ukraine. The war-time nationalist movement, represented by the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), became one of the re-configured themes of history. While most of the studies of memory of the OUN and UPA concentrated on the use of this history by nationalist parties, this study goes beyond the analysis and scrutinizes the meaning of this history in nation- and state-building in relation to memory work realized on the small-scale regional and local levels. Moreover, this book focuses not only on the “producers” of memory, but also on the “consumers” of memory, the area which is largely understudied in the field of memory studies. Drawing on studies about post-colonial subjectivities and theories of remediation developed in memory studies, this book explores the changes in memory culture of contemporary Ukraine and examines the role of memory in producing new meanings under the rapidly changing conditions after the collapse of the Soviet Union up to 2014. The book contributes to the studies of memory culture in post-Communist countries as well as to the studies of society in contemporary Ukraine.

Full textAbstract:
Have we lost the Art of Architecture? In this post-industrial epoch economics, capitalism, apathy, and popular culture are causing modern man to neglect aspects of his humanity. The essence of his existence and the quality of his life are quietly becoming a superficial image, T.S. Eliot sees this decay as the desacralization of modernity:
"(the) assertion is that no culture has appeared or developed except together with a religion ......I see no reason why the decay of culture should not proceed much further...."
Modernity has blinded man, he is unable to see any significance between reality or representation, poetry or banality, the eternal or the temporal. The ontological view of man is being lost to a historical view of man. Thus the actuality which gives meaning, significance, and value to man's existence - the poetics; and the actuality that transcends man over time - the eternal, are slowly being dissolved in a solution of neglect, opinion, and apathy.
Architecture is the making of sacred space. Permanence and poetics are the signification for Architecture and the sacred. The poetics are man's desire to express, create and understand meaning in this world. Being a significant act of man, this expression of the infinite, manifests itself in Architecture. This is the ability to transcend beyond the need for a basic shelter toward something which expresses the aspirations, desires, wisdom and tragedies of man. The eternal has both physical and spiritual attributes. The physical aspect is man's skill and ability to make things. By joining together material, structure, gravity and geometry man assembles an artifact with the intent that it will endure and weather over time. The spiritual aspect is man's memory of things compelled by his own mortality which leads him toward permanence.
Modern Architects are faced with the fact that their abilities are disappearing. The ability to define meaning, to profoundly seduce materials, to perform the ritual of construction and to mark a place - the ability to make a work of Architecture is slowly becoming extinct. If permanence and poetics cannot be reconciled with modernity, if man cannot create an artifact which is transcendent, existential, and eternal; the Art of Architecture - a language of man - will be lost.Master of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
The Monuments at Risk Survey 1995 (MARS) outlined rates and causes of identified monument loss in England, showing that 16% of recorded monuments had been completely destroyed by 1995, and that 95% of surviving monuments in England had suffered partial destruction. Hitherto, no equivalent research has been undertaken in Scotland. Using a 17% random stratified sample of 779 field monuments surviving in 1850 within a study area encompassing much of the local authority areas of Perth and Kinross, Fife and Angus, the present research has analysed the distribution and quantified loss of archaeological monuments since 1850 in relation to a number of variables including land use, Land Capability for Agriculture, elevation, local authority area, monument period and material construction. Results show that monument distribution within the study area varies most noticeably according to land use and elevation. The highest densities of extant monuments are found in semi-natural woodland (17.2 extant sample monuments per 100km2) and non-intensive land uses such as unimproved grazing and moorland (13.8 extant sample monuments per 100km2). The lowest density of extant monuments is found in arable and improved pasture (4.5 extant sample monuments per 100km2), although this is offset by a recorded density of 11.5 cropmark sample monuments per 100km2. By elevation, monument densities are highest below 100m OD (24.4 monuments per 100km2) and between 250m OD and 400m OD (21 monuments per 100 km2)with a pronounced paucity of recorded monuments between 100m OD and 200m OD, particularly on improved and arable land. For each sample monument, a condition history has been constructed through a desk-based study using data from the National Monuments Record of Scotland. This desk-based study has recorded the greatest causes of monument loss since 1850 as unknown causes (28% of loss), archaeological excavation (24% of loss), farming (15% of loss) and development (11% of loss). The monument condition histories created through the desk-based study have then been augmented and calibrated for a subsample of 258 monuments by means of an accuracy assessment, using information from vertical and oblique aerial photographs, survey reports from Historic Scotland Monument Wardens and a programme of field survey. Using these additional data sources, the accuracy assessment has identified the largest causes of monument loss within the study area since 1850 as forestry (31% of loss), farming (28% of loss) and development (12% of loss). Analysis shows that among monuments extant in 1850, a minimum of 38% have been reduced in extent, with at least 5% destroyed. Loss has been greatest among monuments found in arable and improved land (39% reduced, 27% destroyed), forestry (79% reduced, 9% destroyed) and developed land (63% reduced, 27% destroyed), and lowest among monuments found in permanent pasture (91% undamaged), semi-natural woodland (75% undamaged) and rough grazing and moorland (85% undamaged). Although the use of a desk-based study and accuracy assessment has proved successful in identifying trends in the loss of visible monuments, it has been necessary to employ alternative methods by which to assess damage at buried monuments represented by cropmarks. To this end, a programme of excavation, topographic survey and soil depth recording has been undertaken at five locations in Perth and Kinross. Analysis of the results from this programme of excavation and survey has identified statistically significant relationships between land surface curvature and topsoil depth at three of the five sites examined, enabling the mapping at site scale of areas which are likely to have been subject to greatest agricultural damage. Extrapolating from these site-specific maps, it has been possible to map probable damage and risk to cropmark monuments at a regional scale. Although the validity of this regional scale mapping has been limited by the 25m cell size of the digital terrain model on which it has been based, the potential of such a technique in enabling a rapid preliminary assessment of damage and risk to cropmark monuments has been demonstrated.

Full textAbstract:
This research examines the archaeological sequence from the first millennium BC in the central Welsh Marches. It situates the hillforts of this region within their broader landscape context by considering the practices involved in their construction, and their position within wider networks of routine activity. In order to achieve this, a detailed historiographical account of archaeological work on these monuments is presented. This forms the basis of a series of critically informed interpretations of the later prehistory of this region. My central thesis is that we must consider the landscape as Process if we wish to interpret the nested social relations that operated in this period. This demands that we develop a detailed understanding of the regional context of the practices associated with building and inhabiting the hillforts. As such, we need to explore the patterning and temporality of various forms of activity across the landscape, in order to comprehend how both places and objects were bound up in the reproduction of historically contingent social relations. I will work at different scales with a variety of forms of evidence. I examine the complex human palaeoecology of the region, considering how the structure of the landscape was created and sustained by the building and reworking of these monuments. In doing so, I place the developments we associate with the building of the first hillforts within their historical context. I also address the relationship between the hillforts and other classes of monuments, and how their inhabitation articulated with the creation, use and deposition of various forms of material culture. By moving beyond previous interpretative models, I demonstrate how these monuments became an integral part of the social worlds of the first millennium BC.

Full textAbstract:
From the late nineteenth-century until the outbreak of World War II, monuments were erected in large numbers across the United States. Critics referred to the phenomenon as "statue mania," because of the number and diversity of monuments appearing in cities across the country. Women's clubs and organizations were heavily involved in this monument culture, commissioning and raising funds for monuments to America's heroes. After the Woman's Building at the 1893 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition advanced the idea of a monument honoring women's work in civic space, organizations began to commission monuments to honor individual women. With few precedents to build on, both artists and patrons were challanged to create a visual language that could represent the work of real women, ideally. These monuments first followed the established form of the "hero statue," using historical figures to represent precedents for women's contemporary demands for the economic and social privileges of citizenship. Women became voters when the Nineteenth Amendment was ratified in 1920, but still lagged behind full economic and social equality. A brief period of experimentation in the 1920s attempted to create monuments representing the accomplishments of women's collective work, demanding recognition of the demographic at large as contributing members of the electorate. By the 1930s, "ideal" figures replaced individual identity in women's monuments, reflecting the demand to acknowledge the many women participating every day in reform work. Public monuments visually marked the narrative of women's reform work in civic space, supporting their patrons' ambition for autonomy and the rights of full citizenship in a democracy.

In the worst case they have been deteriorating with no hope of recovery. There are not many left. It is very difficult to find a new function and especially enlightened investor. Important thing is how we will treat with these structures in the future. Will we use this unique potential, or leave this place for a new function? Which way we can choose? What is the potential of these buildings and what they need?

Full textAbstract:
Notre étude porte sur les monuments publics réalisés en Asie Mineure sous les Flaviens (69/96 ap. J.-C.). Nos recherches ont permis de réfléchir sur le rôle des différents intervenants impliqués dans les projets et à mettre en lumière les traces de leur activité. Bien que rares, les sources textuelles, comme les dédicaces, apportent de nombreuses informations sur les évèrgètes et nous offrent parfois certains détails sur les coopérations entre les commanditaires, les épimélètes et l’administration impériale. L’étude détaillée des éléments architectoniques,en révélant des tours de mains, nous a permis d’aborder la question des structures des ateliers micrasiatiques et de proposer, pour certains, leur parcours sur les différents chantiers du dernier quart du 1e s. ap. J.-C. Cette étude s’est associée à celle des techniques de réalisation des blocs, mettant en évidence l’effort conséquent de standardisation mis en place en Asie Mineure, et plus particulièrement à Ephèse sous Domitien. Nous nous sommes également penché sur la question de la réception et de la diffusion des modèles de décor et avons mis en évidence l’influence contrastée de Rome sur les créations flaviennes micrasiatiques, en raison de la présence de traditions culturelles fortes dans cette région. Ainsi, des créations endogènes, certes limitées, montrent que des artisans locaux ont été capables d’innover, bien souvent en reformulant d’anciens modèles hellénistiques.Enfin nos recherches ont conduit à mettre en évidence l’attrait tout particulier des monuments des eaux en Asie Mineure, à travers les nombreuses réalisations balnéaires sous Vespasien en Lycie ou l’élaboration de fontaines monumentales dans la province d’Asie sous DomitienOur study handles the question of public buildings built in Asia Minor during the flavian Period (69/96 A.D.).Our researches led us to have a reflection about the different people intervening in the projects and to showsome traces of their activity. Even if they are rare, the textual sources, such as dedications, bring manyinformations about the evergetes, and offer some details on the cooperation between the patrons, the curatorsand the imperial administration. The detailed study of the architectural elements, revealing some productionskills, allowed us to have a reflection about the structure of workshops in Asia Minor and led us to offer, insome case, a view of their course between different buildings sites of the end of the first century A.D. Thisstudy naturally got associated with others handling the question of block construction, showing the importanteffort developed to achieve standardisation in Asia Minor, and more specifically at Ephesus under Domitian.We also studied the reception and spreading of setting models and showed the contrasted influence of Rome onthe flavian creations in Anatolia, because of the presence of strong cultural traditions in this country. Thus,limited endogenous creations show that local craftsmen were able to innovate, often using basis of ancienthellenistics models.

Full textAbstract:
In 1969, Paul Tolstoy commented that archaeological investigation at La Venta had become "a fairly long and at times tortuous story of excavation, interpretation, re-interpretation, and depredation at the famous site found by Stirling." This thesis adds to the torture by describing and illustrating the architecture, burials, offerings, and stone sculpture of La Venta Complex A in an effort to reconcile data into an accurate sequence of meaningful cultural events. The details derive from excavation reports, field notes, maps, photographs, and correspondence of the early investigators of the site. This study addressed three myopic perceptions regarding La Venta: (1) the secludedness of Complex A, in particular the Ceremonial Court, from its inception to its termination, (2) the classification and identification of real human burials in Complex A, and (3) the analytical decontextualization of objects, offerings, and monuments from connected ritual activities there.

Full textAbstract:
The appropriation of prehistoric monuments in the early to middle Anglo-Saxon period is a phenomenon that has been studied by archaeologists for some decades. Prehistoric earthworks were reused as the foci for burial, as the locations of churches and pre-Christian shrines, and as places of political assembly. As such, a variety of theories have been put forward regarding the meanings of these landscape features and their significance amongst communities in Anglo-Saxon England. What is striking is that fifth- to ninth-century settlements have not featured in these discussions. There are a few exceptions, the most notable being Richard Bradley's (1987) reassessment of the 'palace' site of Yeavering. However, these studies have often led to the assumption that monument reuse in settlements was out of the ordinary, and restricted to late sixth- and seventh century high-status sites. In order to redress the balance, this thesis has reviewed the Anglo-Saxon settlement evidence from central England, demonstrating that monument appropriation did take place in settlements between the fifth and the ninth centuries. It has revealed that a variety of prehistoric monuments were reused, including Bronze Age round barrows and iron Age hillforts, and that this reuse could take a number of different forms. The study has also examined the religious and socio-political meanings of monument appropriation in settlement contexts. This has indicated that the practice may well have been one element in an early Anglo-Saxon 'catalogue' of religious practices. Furthermore, it has shown that reuse was already associated with the demonstration of authority in the early Anglo-Saxon period. As a result, it is now possible to suggest that the phenomenon was adopted on high-status elite settlements such as Yeavering precisely because it was already a recognisable and potent motif of power and ideological belief amongst communities over whom newly-emerged elites were claiming authority.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Arquitetura, com a especialização em Arquitetura apresentada na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade de Lisboa para obtenção do grau de Mestre.Compreender a crise disciplinar contemporânea em Arquitetura é fundamental para o entendimento dos processos que criaram o atual problema da aferição de Valor (Abreu, 2007) e Sustentabilidade (Rosmaninho, 2014) nesta disciplina. Se é verdade que, por um lado, a perceção humana perante o próprio ato de habitar se tem vindo a alterar devido ao conhecimento científico e ao desenvolvimento filosófico da ética ambiental, ecológica e biológica; também é verdade que os fenómenos culturais, ontológicos e poéticos são tão indissociavelmente importantes para a compreensão desta crise do habitar quanto os de ordem fenomenológica, científica e técnica (Van der Ryn, 1996). Deste modo este trabalho procura, na sua componente teórica, explorar os mais recentes e relevantes conteúdos para o estabelecer de uma abordagem operativa e contemporânea à Arquitetura, na especificidade da tarefa de reabilitação e do tema da Vilegiatura (Pires, 2013). Já na sua componente prática procurar-se-á uma leitura dos padrões e linguagens dos fenómenos (Alexander, 1977) que estruturam o habitar poético (Heidegger, 1951) desta qualidade sem nome (Alexander, 1979) que é inerente à função específica da Arquitetura no seu âmbito interdisciplinar. Propondo um método disciplinar de interpretação integral do habitar, procura-se assim contribuir para o estudo da operatividade dos conceitos matriciais destes autores testando-os, entre o que os une e distingue, na sua aplicação ao projeto de uma escola-hotel para o ensino superior em Hotelaria na Quinta do Botelho em São Miguel, fundada nos valores de desenvolvimento sustentável de Adequação, Adaptação e Eficiência, do paradigma de Edifício Vivo de Rosmaninho (2014).
ABSTRACT: Understanding the contemporary disciplinary crisis in Architecture is fundamental to begin to fathom the processes which have created the current problem of defining value (Abreu, 2007) and sustainability (Rosmaninho, 2014) within the discipline. If it is true that, on one hand, human perception itself has changed regarding the very act of inhabiting due to the most recent scientific knowledge but also to the development of bio/ecocentrism and environmental ethics in philosophy and politics; it is also true that cultural, ontological and poetic phenomena are just as indissociably important for the solution of this crisis of inhabiting as those of phenomenological, scientific and technical order (Van der Ryn, 1996). Henceforth, in this work we seek to theoretically explore the most recent and relevant content to establish an operative and contemporary approach to Architecture, in the specificity of the rehabilitation task and the Vilegiatura theme (Pires, 2013). In its practical component, we will seek a reading of the phenomena, patterns and languages of the place (Alexander, 1977) which structure and allow the poetic inhabiting to unfold (Heidegger, 1951) from the quality-without-a-name (Alexander, 1979) which is inherent to Architecture in its interdisciplinary scope as human experience. Advocating a disciplinary method of integral interpretation of the dwelling concept, we seek therefore to contribute to the study the operativity of these authors conceptual matrixes, testing their complementarity and exploring their main differences and similarities. All that shall take place under the context of a superior education hotel-school rehabilitation project for the Quinta do Botelho estate in São Miguel, Azores, Portugal, rooted in the sustainable development values of Adequacy, Adaptivity and Efficiency from Rosmaninho’s living-building paradigm.

Tese de Doutoramento em Urbanismo apresentada na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade de Lisboa para obtenção do grau de Doutor.A investigação aborda a temática da evolução morfológica dos tecidos urbanos na sua relação particular com o edificado monumental. A tese, neste contexto específico, tem como objectivo compreender como se transforma, cria e inventa sistematicamente o património urbano ao longo tempo. Pretende-se construir um quadro crítico de processos implementados, que, de um ponto de vista teórico, seja possível de transpor para a intervenção patrimonial portuguesa de hoje. Metodologicamente, o estudo estabelece uma análise contextual e reconstrutiva das sucessivas fases que compõem a dinâmica morfológica dos sítios patrimoniais. A abordagem aos casos de estudo centra-se na leitura crítica de múltiplas operações de produção e transformação do tecido urbano, compreendidos na ideia de invenção criativa dos lugares patrimoniais e organizados de acordo com a sua concepção e aplicação prática. Complementarmente, são abordados os conceitos e processos aplicados na intervenção patrimonial japonesa, como contraponto às lógicas defendidas no ocidente, particularmente em Portugal. Este trabalho pretende demonstrar diferentes tipos de acções criativas no processo de produção e transformação do património urbano, para, constituir uma ferramenta prática de apoio ao exercício de projecto; e crítica às noções correntes de salvaguarda do património urbano. Como hipótese afirma-se assim que o património urbano é um produto resultante de um processo criativo de invenção. Ou seja, é uma identidade criada pelo homem que resulta de um processo construtivo, sedimentado e nunca estagnado. Desta forma, acrescenta-se ao tema da conservação do tecido urbano um sentido de intervenção contínua, demonstrando que é possível, na actualidade, adicionar novas etapas, formas e valores identitários ao processo evolutivo do espaço urbano. Restaurando, assim, a sua utilidade sem perda da especificidade histórica.
ABSTRACT: The theme addresses the issue of the morphological evolution of the urban fabric in particular its relationship with the monumental buildings. The main goal of the theses, in this specific context, is to understand how the urban heritage was systematically transformed, created and invented to build a critique table of processes implemented that, from a theoretical point of view, can be transpose to the Portuguese heritage intervention of today. Methodologically, the study establishes a contextual and reconstructive analysis of the successive stages that make up the morphological dynamics of the heritage sites. The approach to the case studies focuses on the critical reading of multiple operations of production and transformation of the urban fabric over time, understood as examples of the creative invention of the heritage sites, organized according to their design and practical application. Complementarily, the concepts and processes applied in the Japanese patrimonial intervention are approached as a counterpoint to the logic defended in the West, particularly in Portugal. This work aims to demonstrate different types of creative activities in the production and transformation of the urban heritage, to constitute a practical tool to support the practice of project and a critique to the current notions of urban heritage conservation. As a hypothesis it is stated that the urban heritage is a product resulting from a creative process of invention. That is, it is a man-made physical and cultural identity that results from a constructive process, settled and never stagnant. In this way, adds to the theme of conservation of the urban fabric the idea of an continues intervention in the production of the heritage sites, demonstrating that it is possible to add new steps, forms and identity values, to the evolutionary process of urban space. Thereby restoring its usefulness without loss of the historical specificity.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis documents the book collecting activities of Sir George Grey (1812-1898) and the formation of his libraries in Cape Town (1861) and Auckland (1887). As this bio-bibliographical narrative unfolds, the variety and richness of each collection is revealed. Much of what is presented on Grey the bibliophile is new and detailed here for the first time. Importantly, it reveals another dimension to one who was the most important nineteenth-century governor in the Southern Hemisphere.
Coverage of Grey's life as a book collector extends from his early years at Bodiam, Sussex, to his last years in London, and includes those periods when he was governor in South Australia (1841-45), New Zealand (1845-53; 1861-68), and the Cape Colony (1854-186l). A bookish environment and a precocious willingness to engage in literary and antiquarian studies assisted a latent collecting instinct. This is nowhere more evident than in his early forays into the collecting of indigenous language materials and the collecting of natural history specimens in Australia. In his early years, Grey was fortunate to attract the attention of influential mentors such as Richard Whately, Richard Owen, and Sir John Herschel. Each played a part in encouraging his collecting. In later life, far removed from the centres of the book world, he continued to collect. As a committed bibliophile, it was a habit that he could not break.
The book dealer plays an essential role in the book collecting process. Grey was fortunate to gain advice and friendship from some of the most prominent antiquarian book dealers in nineteenth-century England, including Henry G. Bohn, T and W Boone, and Bernard Quaritch. Others included Asher and Heberle–the so-called 'German Connection'–and booksellers representing the growing colonial book trade in New Zealand and Australia. This study examines his relationship with these men, what type of books he acquired, what he paid for them, and when they were purchased. His chief method of acquisition was through dealer catalogues, but he also obtained books and manuscripts through private individuals and auction houses. If a buying pattern is evident, it is one that is continuous, with a gradual accumulation of books over long periods.
Grey also sought materials outside established book markets. His world-class collections of African, Maori, Pacific, and Aboriginal language materials were obtained by the patient development of networks with church officials, missionaries, explorers, linguists, and army and naval officers. Once again, each primer, catechism or word list was accumulated over a number of years. Full justice was given to these rare materials when they were documented in various printed catalogues that were instigated by Grey and completed by the philologist Dr Wilhelm Bleek.
There are no barriers to the persistent collector, and Grey's success in overcoming the frustrations of supply and the problems associated with distance is measured by the libraries he collected. His position as Governor assisted the collecting process, and once his collecting preferences were known, items flowed in for inclusion. That he gave both libraries away in his lifetime is remarkable, an unparalleled action in the annals of nineteenth-century book collecting. Both remain testaments to his persistence and vision.

El estudio estratigráfico permite definir dos tipos de facies: facies calacarenita y facies calcidolosiltita. Esta última presenta diversos grados de dolomitización del 20 al 90% con dos tipos de fábricas: una idiotípica zonada y una hipidiotípica de dolmicroesparita. Mineralógicamente se trata de dolomitas cálcicas deficitarias en magnesio.
Además de la caracterización petrológica y estratigráfica de materiales de cantera, se ha realizado una caracterizacián petrofisica de alterabilidad y de comportamiento mecánico.
Los resultados de los ensayos de laboratorio y de los "mapping" de las formas de alteración realizados en los monumentos indican que la litología más alterable corresponde a la roca procedente de las "Coves del Llorito" con un importante porcentaje de la fabrica idiotípica.
Se observa que paralelamente a los procesos de retroceso superficial se produce la formación de una porosidad móldica intracristalina, por disolución preferente de los núcleos deficitarios en magnesio, termodinámicamente inestables, de la fábrica idiotípica.

Full textAbstract:
While the construction techniques associated with building British Neolithic and Early Bronze Age ritual monuments and earthworks have been widely discussed (for instance, the types of tools used for construction, the choice of timber, earth or stone materials and how the particular structure was to be used), archaeologists have often tended to overlook those events which took place before any structure was actually constructed, that is, the pre-construction processes of building a monument or earthwork. In this thesis, I focus on three important processes involved with the pre-construction phases of building structures. That is site selection, site preparation and, most significantly, the setting-out process. Importantly, through a series of archaeology experiments, I have explored in greater detail the processes of the setting-out of monuments and earthworks prior to their construction. In the main body of this thesis I present the results of three case studies in which I re-enacted the setting-out process for reconstructing the ground plans of three different types of prehistoric structures: the Capel Garmon long barrow, Arbor Low henge and the Barbrook I stone circle. The successes of these experiments have allowed me to propose that similar methods of setting out could have been used to construct a number of other Cotswold Severn long barrows, henges and stone circles. The analysis of both the respective archaeology and my successful experiments lead me to propose that during the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age people might have planned the desigus of their monuments and earthworks using rudimentary methods. Consequently, I suggest that there may actually be a "middle ground" option in terms of understanding whether or not structures were deliberately planned, that is between the suggestion that these structures were the result of complex planning, astronomy and mathematics, and the alternative which is that structures were set-out by eye and built with little or no planning at all. In essence my thesis attempts to contribute towards our knowledge of the processes of construction by highlighting both the importance of the pre-construction phases involved with building as well as filling the middle ground regarding the subject of deliberate planning. Indeed, this thesis will contribute towards that debate by offering an original theory that can be proven by experiment.

Full textAbstract:
Le Concordat, qui permet le retour à la paix civile et le rétablissement du culte, est accueilli avec soulagement dans un diocèse de Nantes durement éprouvé par la décennie révolutionnaire. Il instaure un régime neuf dans lequel la religion catholique, de même que les autres cultes reconnus, est protégée et financée par l'État mais également placée sous la surveillance du pouvoir civil. Les édifices et les objets religieux nationalisés en 1789 sont mis à la disposition du clergé et des fidèles mais demeurent des propriétés publiques. L'affectation exclusive à l'exercice du culte place néanmoins l'Église dans un rôle qui lui permet de faire prévaloir les besoins religieux sur le droit de propriété ou sur les considérations archéologiques qui apparaissent au cours du XIXe siècle. Le système concordataire crée les conditions d'une transformation spectaculaire des édifices religieux, agrandis, modifiés ou remplacés pour répondre aux besoins du culte, laissant peu de place à la conservation des monuments anciens et prenant dans le diocèse de Nantes le caractère d'unevéritable table rase. L'Église semble pourtant adhérer au mouvement général de reconnaissance des monuments religieux, apportant son concours aux politiques publiques et contribuant aux initiatives du milieu érudit. Cette participation reste cependant superficielle et révèle des motivations inconciliables avec les préoccupations archéologiques. L'engouement pour un passé monumental largement idéalisé provoque, au lieu de la conservation de ses vestiges matériels, la naissance d'une architecture et d'un art religieux nouveaux, inspirés des formes médiévales mais répondant aux besoins contemporains du culte et à des constructions symboliques propres à l'Église du XIXe siècle

Full textAbstract:
Historical monuments are the most invaluable reflections of our architectural heritage and cultural identity, both of which have significant roles to create a strong link between the past and the present. They should be conserved in their own settings with their original characteristics or with as minimum changes as possible. However, natural or man-made hazards cause a serious risk for the survival of historical monuments. While some of them require to be strengthened only, some should be relocated to a new site since there are no means to save them without transporting.
In this study, an innovative methodology is developed in a general sense for transporting historical masonry monuments without destructing their unity. In the proposed methodology, which is applicable especially to the slender historical structures, it is aimed to transport the structure by tilting it up to a horizontal ground level without dismantling into pieces. Due to the fact that masonry is a very brittle material, externally located prestressed cables are used to strengthen the structure against tension forces, which occur at the time of tilting.
Hasankeyf, which is the cradle of various civilizations, is an impressive medieval city located in Mesopotamia region in Turkey. Unfortunately, this unique heritage will be flooded by the reservoir of Ilisu Dam unless the project is cancelled. Therefore, a masonry minaret located in Hasankeyf is selected as a case for this study. Because of the non-homogeneous characteristics of the structural material, Finite Element Method, as a powerful analytical modeling tool, is used in order to evaluate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed methodology. Finally, it is certified that this methodology is successfully applicable for the relocation of historical masonry monuments.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the relationship between Christianity and urban monumental space in the late antique Levant. Through the analysis of both textual and archaeological evidence it seeks to clarify both the motives and the stages of the process of Christian takeover of the urban space of Levantine cities from the 4th to the 7th century AD. In doing so Christians were in essence both projecting their growth as the predominant religion and, at the same time, creating an entirely new monumental landscape. The case studies are presented in three separate groups, selected on the basis of the principal strategy that was chosen in the process of Christianisation of urban space. The first section analyses the cases of Gerasa, Jerusalem, Heliopolis, and Petra to illustrate the first of these strategies: the main method for occupying the symbolic space of the city was the construction of a contrast between the surviving ruins of the earlier, Hellenic, temples and the new Christian churches. The second group of case studies includes Scythopolis, Caesarea Maritima, Gaza, and to a certain extent Heliopolis. This section deals with those cities where the main strategy was the physical demolition of all or at least the most pre-eminent Hellenic buildings and their direct replacement with a new, and often grand, church. The third group, and the last, consists of the cities of Bostra, Gadara, Apamea, where rather than having to engage with a major Hellenic monument the main competitor was the secular state whether local or imperial. This is found to have resulted in a search for integration into the landscape rather than active competition.

Full textAbstract:
Scholarship on late antique cities has largely conceptualized them as singular entities, either decaying or transitioning as Roman imperial power and economic structures shifted. Improved archaeological data from urban sites, accompanied by a number of broad synthetic studies, now allow for fresh exploration of the details of urbanism in this transformative era. This study examines the ways that a select group of public buildings were used and reused in the Mediterranean West between 300 and 600 CE. This examination is primarily carried out through the collection of a broad catalogue of archaeological evidence (supplemented with epigraphic and literary testimony) for the constructions, work projects, abandonments and reuses of key public monuments across the Western Mediterranean region—principally Italy, southern Gaul, Spain, and North Africa west of Cyrenaica. This broad survey is augmented with case studies on select cities. Such an analysis of the late antique histories of baths, aqueducts, and spectacle buildings (theaters, amphitheaters, and circuses) shows that each of the building types had a distinct history and that public monuments were not a unitary group. It also reveals unexpectedly few regional trends, suggesting that these histories were broadly common across the West. Further, this study shows that each building type was reused differently, both in terms of purposes and chronology. Finally, by considering economic, technological, cultural and legal factors affecting patterns of use, abandonment and reuse, this study establishes that the primary cause for the transformations to public building was largely a change in euergetistic practices in late antiquity. Cities with access to imperial or other governmental patronage used and maintained their public monuments longer than those without. Together these observations demonstrate the complexities of urban change in this period and prove that the idea of a single pattern of decline in late antique cities is no longer tenable.

Explanar sobre as descobertas arqueológicas feitas, com o objetivo de conseguir informações, para execução de um projeto de intervenção correto e adaptado às necessidades de uso atual, salvaguardando o bem patrimonial, bem como promover a auto-sustentabilidade do empreendimento, adquirir suporte financeiro para a sua sobrevivência e conservação. O procedimento levou em conta outros monumentos, onde foi observado o emprego de materiais modernos, utilizados com a finalidade de adaptar os monumentos para usos contemporâneos onde o comércio, o turismo, os serviços, as comunicações e o conforto ambiental são imperativos, isto sem perder os seus valores culturais no sítio histórico. Também descreve e destaca os materiais modernos dos antigos, não criando falso histórico nem falso artístico. Exemplo bem dado pelo novo bloco anexo complementar, situado ao fundo da Sinagoga. Em geral, os materiais de construções modernos, dão um novo sentido de intervenção aos monumentos.This study shows new restoration concepts about interventions and construction materials used in historical monuments. The study views the specific case of Kahal Zur Israel (first synagogue of the Americas), and what exactly motivated the restoration of this monument. Some questions considered were: which was the historical context of the time? What was the history of the monument in itself? Which were the intervention criteria adopted, based on the newest theories, while at the same time preserving some of the present recommendations of the heritage letters? The study also described some of the archaeological discoveries that were carried out with the objective of gathering information to best execute the restoration project. The intervention tried to adapt the present necessities of the locale, preserve its historical value, and promote its financial self-sustainability. The procedure included considerations done on other monuments where modern materials were used so that contemporary uses could be adapted (commerce, tourism, services, communications and environmental comfort). At the same time the preservation of the cultural values of the historical center was observed. Moreover, the procedures show and differentiate the modern materials from the old, avoiding a false representation of the historical and artistic value of the locale. A good example of this at Kahal Zur Israel, is the complementary annexed bloc, situated in the depths of the synagogue. In general, modern building materials give a new sense of intervention to the monuments.

World energy consumption attends to increase in all sectors, which leads to more CO2 emissions and air pollution. In 2016, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects that world energy consumption will increase up to 48% by 2040. The building sector is the largest consumer of the energy. Consequently, the global needs a universal proposal to mitigate and reduce the impacts on the environment and the natural resources. The energy consumption is accumulative of different aspects, such as buildings, transportation, industrial and other sectors. The building sector is the largest consumer of the energy.
The energy consumption in the building is accumulative of different aspects of the annual usage, such as cooling, heating, lighting, and others. For instance, lighting consumes up to 22 % in the commercial buildings and 14% in the residential buildings in the hot-arid climate (Arizona). Therefore, this study focuses on proposing a method of daylight optimization that leads to Net-zero energy buildings in the hot-arid climate. Achieving Net Zero buildings needs high efficient buildings at the first step to make the task more affordable. By exploring and applying the daylight optimization strategies, energy consumption will be reduced in the way that cut down the CO2 emissions and the air pollution. These strategies attempt to turn off the artificial lighting during the useful daylight illuminance and provides a comfortable level for the occupancies. The Daylight passive technique usually categories under three main topics, which are the Sidelighting, Toplighting, and Corelighting. Furthermore, the daylight performance is assessed through different methods, such as daylight factor, daylight autonomy, glare index and the useful daylight illuminance. The method in this study is proposing passive daylight strategies and, testing how the new strategy would contribute to achieving the net-zero status, and validate the results (physical and digital experiments have been conducted to achieve the optimum proposal) to maintain the daylight through the building envelope (shading device, and fenestrations orientation sizes and materials).

Full textAbstract:
The most recent investigations at the site of Sechín Bajo in the Casma valley resulted in the discovery of a sequence of three buildings dating from the Late Archaic to the Early Formative Periods, evidencing phases that span more than 2000 years (3500-1500 BC). The First Building comprised a simple platform that underwent numerous extensions, each phase of which received a circular sunken plaza. It was subsequently backfilled and sealed with a clay floor before the Second Building was constructed above it, expressing a change, both in its function and the way it was used. The Third Building represents the most monumental phase, demonstrating a pronounced division between a public area and another zone to which access was unmistakably restricted. In its public areas, the building’s surface was extensively decorated with clay reliefs, exhibiting a complex iconography. The abandonment of the structure, between 1500 and 1300 BP, involved either the destruction or walling-up of the flights of steps that granted access to it. On an external wall of the Second Building, c. 130 graffiti were inscribed.Las investigaciones en el sitio arqueológico de Sechín Bajo, valle de Casma, han continuado y se ha registrado una secuencia de tres edificios correspondientes al Arcaico Tardío y Formativo Temprano, lo que representa una historia constructiva de 2000 años (3500 a 1500 a.C.). El Primer Edificio, el más antiguo, está compuesto por una plataforma rectangular que sufrió varias ampliaciones, siempre asociadas a plazas circulares hundidas. El Primer Edificio fue enterrado y sellado para levantar encima el Segundo Edificio, que tiene dos grandes fases constructivas. Posteriormente, se erigió el Tercer Edificio, que corresponde a una estructura de tamaño monumental, con cambios en los conceptos de uso y función, y modificaciones en su construcción. El Tercer Edificio tiene áreas de carácter público, con muros que presentan relieves relacionados con un corpus iconográfico bastante complejo, entre cuyos diseños sobresale el personaje denominado El Degollador, mientras que en los espacios privados los muros tienen hornacinas y los ingresos son restringidos. El decaimiento de Sechín Bajo, durante el Formativo Temprano, se puede reconocer en una pared exterior del Segundo Edificio —decorada con 130 grafitis realizados con una técnica muy simple—, en la destrucción de las escaleras principales y el sello de los accesos. Con estos nuevos datos, se pueden evaluar mejor las características de la arquitectura monumental-ceremonial en el valle de Casma desde el Arcaico Tardío al Formativo Temprano.

The protection of monuments in Slovakia is mostly concentrated on „classical“ examples of cultural heritage (castles, historical city centers). It is not paying much attention to industrial buildings, which are important documents of national development in European context from the era of industrialization. These buildings are often also on the edge of public interest, due to their brownfield character, what places then into the great risk. Because many of these buildings are in private hands, it is often complicated to define the protection policy. It is in the interest of healthy development of society to protect cultural heritage as part of its own identity. The thesis is monitoring approaches to protection of monuments in Slovakia, as well as in global context and offers alternative approaches in terms of protection of industrial heritage.

Full textAbstract:
Shelters, as preventive conservation methods, have traditionally been considered a better option than leaving the site exposed. However, there has been limited research on their effect on the preservation of heritage materials and, as a result, there is no clear scientific evidence to support sheltering. This study aims to provide the first rigorous scientific assessment of the effect of lightweight, open shelters on limestone deterioration at archaeological sites. A method based on the use of low-cost environmental monitoring equipment and limestone blocks and tablets (as indicators of decay) has been developed to determine the degree of protection provided by the shelters at the Bishop' Palace (Witney, England) and Hagar Qim (Malta). Preliminary visual assessments of the field sites were followed by 12-18 month exposure trials. Temperature extremes and fluctuations, frost events, relative humidity extremes and fluctuations, NaCl crystallisation events, solar radiation, wetting events, salt content, atmospheric pollutants and dust deposition were monitored. In addition, stone decay was studied by analysing changes in weight, elasticity, surface hardness, ultrasonic pulse velocity, surface colour, moisture content and general appearance (microscopic and macroscopic pictures) in stone samples. An exhaustive assessment of the shelter at the Bishop's Palace was carried out using Chalk, Cotswold and Portland limestone blocks as well as Portland limestone tablets (specifically for studying dissolution, soiling and biological growth). Additionally, a comparative assessment of the effects of the two shelters in contrasting climatic environments, the Bishop's Palace (temperate maritime) and Hagar Qim (Mediterranean), was undertaken by monitoring Globigerina and Coralline limestone blocks simultaneously at both sites. The research has shown that lightweight, open shelters do not exclude decay completely but minimise it. However, there are some areas at higher risk of decay, i.e. top parts of the walls and the periphery. In addition, problems with the shelter design can enhance some decay mechanisms, such as biocolonisation on the periphery at the Bishop's Palace and dust deposition under the shelter at Hagar Qim. Therefore, the effectiveness of shelters should not be assumed.

Full textAbstract:
Between 1961 and 1963 a large terraced Etruscan building on the southside of the Acropolis at the archaeological site of San Giovenale in Italy was excavated. The building, named House K, remained largely unpublished and unstudied throughout the years, leaving our picture of the ancient settlement at San Giovenale incomplete. This thesis aims to get a better understanding of the Etruscan architecture, settlement, culture, and society at San Giovenale, by doing an architectural analysis of the building of House K, using unpublished field journals, drawings, and photographs. By comparing the architecture of House K and any structural elements immediately connected with the building, to other structures at San Giovenale, as well as other Etruscan sites, this thesis set out to learn: what kind of structure House K is; what function it had; what its relative dating is; what role it played in the settlement at San Giovenale; and what it can tell us regarding the society and culture at San Giovenale. Using environment-behaviour relations and building archaeology, the study first examined the structural elements of House K, before comparing House K to other structures at San Giovenale built 700–400 BCE. Thereafter, the study looked at parallels outside of San Giovenale, looking at the sites of Acquarossa, Luni sul Mignone, Poggio Civitate, Cerveteri, Pyrgi, Montetosto, Vulci, and Narce. Finally, a discussion was had regarding the character and function of House K, whether it was public, private, sacred, or profane. In the course of the study, an architectural chronology of San Giovenale was established, which dated the construction date of House K to between c. 565 BCE and the late 6th century BCE. The interpretation of the function of House K that seems most probable is that it was a monumental building complex of administrative, political and/or religious significance, which probably also acted as a residence for the ruling elite at San Giovenale – in other words: a palazzo. House K being a palazzo would mean that there was a centralised authority at San Giovenale, suggesting that there was some sort of ruler or leader at the top of the social hierarchy, splitting the social division at San Giovenale further than it was previously believed to have been.

Full textAbstract:
En äldre industribyggnad är oftast byggd i hårda material så som tegel, stål och plåt vilket alla ger upphov till hög andel reflektioner av ljudenergi. Absorptionsnivån i dessa material är låga vilket leder till långa efterklangstider. Att montera in akustikreglerande åtgärder i dessa byggnader står i konflikt med att äldre industribyggnader ofta har ett kulturhistoriskt värde. Syftet med arbetet var att undersöka möjligheten till att genomföra akustikreglering i en kulturhistoriskt värdefull byggnad utan att väsentligt påverka detta värde. Avseende ambitionsnivån ur akustisk synpunkt var målet att halvera efterklangstiden. De genomförda efterklangstidsmätningarna visar på en relativ lång efterklangstid i mellanregistret och en kortare vid låga och höga frekvenser. Resultatet av de beräkningar som är genomförda visar att i den mindre, av två stycken, hyttan kan målet med en halverad efterklangstid uppnås för majoriteten av oktavbanden. Åtgärdsförslaget för den större hyttan skulle däremot inte leda till att målet uppfylls fullt ut, utan för detta skulle ytterligare åtgärder behöva sättas in. Hänsyn till hyttans kulturvärde motiverar dock att en längre efterklangstid kan accepteras.An older industrial building is usually built in hard materials such as brick, steel and sheet metal, all of which give rise to a high proportion of reflections of sound energy. The absorption level in these materials is low, which leads to long reverberation times. Installing acoustic regulatory measures in these buildings conflicts with the fact that older industrial buildings often have a cultural-historical value. The purpose of this work was to investigate the possibility of implementing acoustic regulations in a culturally and historically valuable building without substantially affecting its cultural value. Regarding the level of ambition from an acoustic perspective, the objective was to halve the reverberation time. The measured reverberation time shows a relative long reverberation time in the mid frequencies and a shorter one at low and high frequencies. The results of the calculations that have been carried out show that in the smaller production hall, of two, the objective of a halved reverberation time can be achieved in the majority of the octave bands. The proposed measures for the larger production hall would not lead to the objective being fully met, but further measures would need to be implemented. Consideration of the cultural value of the glass factory justifies that a longer reverberation time can be accepted.

Full textAbstract:
Dans l’est des Gaules et les Germanies, quelques monuments encore conservés en élévation témoignent du nombre et de la qualité des constructions publiques en territoire lingon, éduen, leuque, séquane, rauraque ou helvète durant l’époque impériale. Notre connaissance de cette architecture monumentale reste pourtant très lacunaire, du fait de l’absence d’étude monographique sur les monuments ou de catalogue des collections lapidaires. L’étude présentée dans le cadre de cette thèse, consacrée à la ville de Mandeure, révèle une panoplie monumentale ambitieuse, depuis l’époque augustéenne jusqu’à l’époque tétrarchique. Elle s’appuie sur une reprise des recherches sur le terrain depuis 2001, comprenant des fouilles mais surtout des prospections de toute nature. Mandeure, ville où se situait le plus grand sanctuaire civique séquane, présentait sous le Haut Empire toutes les composantes monumentales d’une ville romaine canonique : théâtre, temples, thermes, portes monumentales, horrea , etc. L’étude des vestiges conservés in situ et des blocs isolés permet de restituer les programmes architecturaux de plus d’une dizaine d’édifices complètement inédits et de leurs différentes phases de construction, de restauration ou de réaménagement depuis l’époque médio-augustéenne jusqu’à l’époque sévérienne. L’étude des programmes décoratifs permet également de restituer un répertoire ornemental très riche. L’influence des modèles italiens, sans doute par l’Italie du nord et la Gaule narbonnaise, signale le caractère canonique des réalisations. Plusieurs séries de grands chapiteaux en marbre de Carrare constituent un témoignage rare dans la région de l’activité d’artisans italiensIn Eastern Gaul and Germanies, several monuments still standing witness of the quantity and the quality of public buildings in lingon, aeduan, leuquan, sequan, raurac and helvet territory during the Imperial period. Our knowledge of this monumental architecture remains however incomplete, since there is no monograph dealing with those monuments or any lapidary collection catalog. This study, devoted to the city of Mandeure, reveals an ambitious display of monuments from the augustean period to the tetrarchian's. It is based on the fieldwork carried out since 2001, including digging and more specifically prospecting of all kind. Mandeure, the city where the largest sequani civic sanctuary was located, displayed during the imperial period every monumental elements of a classic roman city: theatre, temples, thermae, monumental gates, horrea, etc. The study of the preserved remains in situ and of isolated blocks unables us to re-establish all the differents process of construction, restitution or redevelopment from the medio-augustean era to the severinian's. The study of the decoration programs allowed us aswell to restore a very rich ornemental repertoire. The influence of italian models, probably coming from Northern Italy and the Narbonese Gaul, is a sign of the classic dimension of those realizations. Several set of large Carrare marble capitals constitute a rare testimony of the work of Italian craftsman in this area
