<p>The main objective of this research is to develop an underground space framework which establishes design solutions to underpin the successful design of underground buildings. The poorly conceived nature of contemporary underground space often means it has little, or no contribution to its above-ground environment, as it neglects the significant relationship between the ground plane, and above and belowground space. As a result of this omission towards its above-ground environment, urban design theory and practice have neglected the subject of underground space, where it is presented typically as ancillary spaces, of a highly fragmented nature. This problem is addressed through a literature review, establishing the treatment of underground space within urban design literature, a taxonomy analysis of the physical form of 90 contemporary underground buildings, and a discussion of the five archetypes of underground space. Developed from the findings of each of these research sections, an underground space framework is established. The framework is divided into six guideline categories with which each focusing on a major design issue relevant to underground space. The presentation of each guideline briefly states the issue, its objective, and then suggests various solutions for implementing the specific objective. The guidelines are intended to be flexible, where they are selected, developed and applied with regard to the underground buildings unique site and programme characteristics. The design case study, an extension of Wellingtons Museum of City and Sea located at Post Office Square, demonstrates how these guidelines can be used, through selecting, developing and then applying, suitable guidelines in response to its specific site and programme requirements. In total, the research suggests that the underground space framework can underpin the successful design of underground space through establishing strong physical connections between below ground and above ground public space. This can be achieved through blurring the boundaries between above and below -ground space, revealing historical underground elements above ground, and considering the underground as a viable option to resolving specific urban design issues present above ground.</p>

History Of

The article researches the pedagogical potential of verbal music actualized in music classes. The authors focus their attention on the history of the question, suggesting to supplement the classification presented by S.P. Scher with such a type of interaction between words and music as words spoken during music (melo-recitation). While examining verbal music in the context of the art of music, the authors concentrate on Camille Saint-Saens’ composition “The Swan” from the suite “The Carnival of Animals,” suggesting not only variants of verbalization of the instrumental music itself by the example of Lev Druskin’s poem “The Swan Struggles with Human Anguish…”, Dmitri Bykov’s “The Swan and Archpriest Andrei Tkachev’s prose, but also the an attempt of verbalizing the plastic intonating of Saint-Saens’ piece realized in the work of Anna Pavlova, Galina Ulanova and Maya Plisetskaya. In addition, the authors bring into scholarly use the verbalization of music presented in Evgeny Vodolazkin’s novel “Brisbane.” Proposing a set of assignments aimed at the actualization of verbal music as a unique opportunity of re-expressing musical content into the spoken word presenting itself as a unit of speech of the studying youth, the authors turn to Russian scholarly literature, as well as to that of other countries. According to the authors, the inclusion of the phenomenon of verbal music into lessons provides a maximal problematization of the studied material, helps maintain the students’ interest in their music studies by stimulating children’s creativity, and also sets up the resultative qualities of communication of all the participants of the pedagogical process, enabling the musicians in their realization of the immutability of the following fact: music can be and must be talked about!

Non-technical abstract Sustainable access to outer space is increasingly threatened by growing orbital clouds of satellites and debris. A boom in competitively priced commercial rocket launches has lowered prices, prompting satellite operators to begin deploying thousands of satellites. Six decades ago, ‘hard law’ international treaties established governance for outer space designed for the few governmental space programmes. Today, non-governmental commercial entities are operating under voluntary ‘soft law’ rules of the road that expose the deficiencies of the original treaties to empower regulatory supervision of the expanding commercial orbital presence. This paper suggests how a ‘sustainable’ system of governance, required for sustainable space access and exploration, may be promoted by increasing the costs of non-compliance.
