Cultural Spaces

A large group of emerging cultural spaces abroad and in Slovakia has the adjective independent. In this context, this means that they were not established by public institution and are looking for sustainable forms of funding themselves, operating on grants and volunteering system. The limited amount of funding also determined the architecture that covers such cultural centers. Historic ruins, neglected public spaces, abandoned industrial buildings are common factors that appear throughout Europe. Is there a difference between Slovak alternative and its foreign counterparts, or is it a global phenomenon with identical characteristics? And can it be established at all based on such a small sample as the independent cultural and theater centers are?A kulturális terek nagyobb csoportja külföldön és Szlovákiában is független jelzővel jelenik meg. Ebben az összefüggésben ez azt jelenti, hogy nem közintézmény hozta létre őket, maguk keresik a finanszírozás fenntartható formáit, támogatásokból és önkéntesekkel működnek. A korlátozott összegű finanszírozás meghatározza az ilyen kulturális központok építészetét is. A történeti romok, az elhanyagolt közterületek, az elhagyott ipari épületek Európa-szerte gyakran jelennek meg helyszíneikként. Van-e különbség a szlovák alternatív és a külföldi gyakorlat között, vagy ez globális jelenség azonos jellemzőkkel? És egyáltalán ez kiderülhet-e a független kulturális és színházi központok egy ilyen kis mintája alapján?

Moral Discourses

In between 2016 and 2017, a number of terrorist attacks took place in public spaces in cities across Europe. Consequently, numerous concrete blocks were placed in the streets of Copenhagen in order to prevent similar attacks made with vehicles towards people in the public space. For the Municipality of Copenhagen, this became the first step in a long process of dealing with the question of how to secure the city’s public spaces. Literature on security points to a worldwide increase in security measures, often legitimized by way of moral discourses of protecting democratic values and saving lives. This article provides an example of a counter movement where a public institution does not perform according to this premise. The article argues that employees at the Municipality of Copenhagen mobilize moral discourses and values associated with liberal democracy and the welfare state in order to minimize the presence of security measures in the public space. To the municipal employees the concrete blocks made Copenhagen’s public spaces express negative moral values such as hostility and fear. Therefore, they initiated what I will call an ethical work of transformation by shaping the materiality of the concrete blocks into security measures more in line with the moral values they associated with the public space and the good city. By following the ethical work of transformation done on counterterrorism measures, the article shows how moral values and materiality can be intertwined. Adding this material dimension to literature on morality and ethics, sheds new light on discussions of security and morality.

<p>This thesis examines visual and physical connectivity in multi-level public atrium spaces in modern public buildings, and seeks out common factors and key design principles behind their design. Enhanced physical and visual connectivity in multi-storey public buildings can contribute appreciably to the social significance of interior public spaces. At present, connectivity is typically assessed in the design stages of buildings using two-dimensional spatial analysis theories of syntax. This thesis investigates how threedimensional spatial analysis tools can be applied to the assessment of connectivity during the design of multilevel public atrium spaces, to provide a more accurate reflection of connectivity under built conditions. The thesis focuses on atria in public buildings such as museums, investigates prominent features and factors in their design, examines three examples of atrium buildings as case studies, and asks the question: how can multi-level atrium spaces be analysed for connectivity?</p>

Swedish History

The research subject is the Swedish History Museum in Stockholm as a public institution between 1943 and 2013. I examine how public spaces in the museum body are designed in relation to cultural policy objectives and the museum’s vision of a democratic, inclusive museum. However, the focus is not on the museum’s exhibits, but on other public spaces visitors encounter in the museum, mainly the entrance, the shop and children’s spaces. These spaces tend to be invisible in the museum hierarchy, and their practices are rarely observed in museum studies. Main research questions are: How are democratic ideals materialized and expressed over time? Which publics are created by the public spaces?

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discover peer mentors’ perspectives of an education doctoral (Doctorate of Education) peer mentoring program implemented in a mid-sized public institution. Design/methodology/approach Data from one focus group and an interview collected from peer mentors as part of a larger case study of mentors and mentees in a peer mentoring program for education doctoral students are presented. Four (n=4) peer mentors participated in a focus group (n=3) and an interview (n=1). Participants were asked about their perceptions of the program and their experiences as mentors. Findings Four themes were discovered within the data: mentors relate to social, emotional and academic life balances of mentees, mentors provide support and reassurance to mentees, mentors guide mentees to focus on the future, and mentors gain personal and professional growth from the peer mentoring program. Results indicated that mentors believed that the program was helpful for their mentees and beneficial to their own personal and professional development. Research limitations/implications Limitations of this study include the small sample size (n=4) and the short period of time in which participants were asked to be a part of the mentoring program and reflect in focus groups and interview (one academic year). Implications of this study include the benefits of peer mentoring for both mentors and mentees alike. Originality/value In contrast to many other studies of peer mentoring programs, this peer mentoring program targeted scholar-practitioner students who were balancing full-time careers with their coursework and family lives. Thus, peer mentors focused more on career and work-life balance with mentees than mentors may in other programs, as well as finding benefit to their own professional development.

The Way

The number of seniors rises worldwide. The lockdown of public institutions caused by COVID-19 influenced the lives of many of them. In the new reality, owners and managers of public spaces need to rethink the way they provide their services, and redesign public spaces to meet the needs of senior citizens. This requires the recognition of the needs of seniors concerning the use of public spaces in the times of the COVID-19 hazard. To investigate this issue, survey studies with 1000 respondents aged 65+ were conducted. The implementation of the obtained data in the process of redesigning public spaces may facilitate the opening up after the lockdown. Taking into account the requirements of a very large group of citizens being seniors is crucial, as it was found that 55% of respondents will also be afraid to use public spaces after the COVID-19 lockdown. The selected ideas that could minimize the feeling of fear when using public spaces after the lockdown were evaluated by seniors.

The adaptive construction of cultural centers with large performance spaces based on revitalization projects has become a popular trend in foreign architecture. Buildings and structures for various purposes can be as an object for the implementation of the project. The main goal of the project is to revive the role of a public place, to adapt it to local or city needs, as well as to create functional blocks for holding mass cultural events. Within the framework of the study, the objects were selected in such a way that their historical functional component was different. However, as a result of adaptation, they formed large cultural spaces. Their main element is concert technical equipment, which meets the functional purpose. The identification of the main tendencies of similar projects for the revitalization of buildings is based on a comparison of adaptive objects according to certain criteria. The selection of criteria was made based on the possibility of comprehensively analyzing the project data and identifying the main factors of the revitalization process, its goals, and results, as well. Based on the data obtained as a result of comparing objects according to the evaluation criteria, conclusions were formulated about current solutions to the issues of adaptive use, and the stages were analyzed and the results were summarized

Reinforced Concrete (R/C) shell has been constructed to cover large public spaces and large industrial buildings. RC shell is originally a continuous structure and shows the large load bearing capacity. To apply these structures to such purpose, the structure is cut at any particular portion and loses their continuum properties. Therefore, edge beams must be placed to avoid the stress concentration and a local failure. In this paper, R/C cylindrical shell with edge beam on meridional free edges was analyzed by use of FEM. RC shell had 960 x 960 mm plan and the thickness was 10 mm. The radius and the depth of the shell were 688 mm and 190 mm, respectively. As the edge beam, three kinds of rectangular beams, which had 2 cm width and 4 cm depth, were arranged. One was connected to the shell at the gravity center of the beam and the others were connected at the bottom or the top of the beam. From the numerical analyses, the deformation and the stress distribution of the shell mentioned above were analyzed precisely. The shell connected with the gravity center of the beam showed the smooth deformation and the stress distributions.

The article analyses the modern methods of estimation of stress-strain state of reinforced concrete structures. The result of the analysis is a new method for estimating the stress-strain state of reinforced concrete structures. The method is based on extracting a small sample of concrete from the array. The article describes the method of execution of works, the method of calculating the stresses. Previously, the method was investigated under laboratory conditions. The results are presented in graphs and tables. The research was conducted to assess the stress state of existing concrete structures. As the objects of research, two industrial buildings of 1933 and 1941 construction years were taken. An assessment of a stress state of a panel residential building was held. The measurement results were analyzed. The method for determining the stresses in reinforced concrete buildings and structures is recommended.

This study concerns contemporary cultural buildings in the historic city centre of Krakow, Poland, and their assessment in terms of sustainability. The paper aims to bridge a research gap in previous studies on pluralistic values and the impact of cultural heritage on sustainability. The comparative case study conducted in Krakow aims to evaluate the functioning and potential of the space towards achieving the following five goals: accessibility, conservation, mix of functions, aesthetics, comfort and sociability. The perception of these buildings and the public space around them by the city residents, as well as their operation during unexpected circumstances, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, were also evaluated. The author combined an on-site analysis, behavioural mapping and a survey. The results correlate the liveability and aesthetics of public spaces along with the amount and quality of greenery found there with the comfort of users and the popularity of particular places. This paper highlights how important it is to create cultural spaces in a historic city to develop a range of their activities linked to the surrounding public spaces and green areas. Activating cultural spaces and connecting them to sustainability goals is especially important when faced with declining tourism.
