Resumo: Este artigo trata da restauração do Cruzeiro de São Francisco de Olinda, da preservação do patrimônio cultural, das técnicas e materiais tradicionais de construção e do saber-fazer tradicional do ofício da cantaria e técnicas para preservação. No Brasil, o Decreto nº 3551/2000 estabeleceu quatro dimensões para registro dos bens do patrimônio imaterial: as celebrações, os saberes, as formas de expressão e os lugares expressivos, enquanto dimensões importantes ao estudo da cultura. Tais iniciativas rebatem-se diretamente sobre diferentes campos do saber, neste caso, à identificação, documentação e metodologia adotada na restauração do Cruzeiro, monumento integrante do conjunto arquitetônico tombado isoladamente pelo IPHAN desde 1938, a partir dos trabalhos de restauro realizados em 2016. De modo geral, essas condutas acompanham os procedimentos na área, metodologias de intervenção e preservação do saber-fazer dessa técnica milenar de construção. Sua durabilidade possibilitou a permanência e oportunidade de se poder, hoje, conhecer diversos monumentos edificados em pedra com trabalhos artísticos em cantaria. Para a conservação e o restauro de trabalhos em cantaria são necessários conhecimentos especiais quanto ao saber-fazer, cuja finalidade de estudo, nas concepções atuais, liga-se também à salvaguarda das técnicas construtivas tradicionais, assim como promover a permanência e conservação dos bens culturais. Nesse contexto, pretende-se mostrar os trabalhos realizados para restauração do Cruzeiro, identificação de danos, patologias e procedimentos para realização destes serviços em Pernambuco. Palavras Chave: patrimônio, restauração, ofício de cantaria AbstractTHE RESTORATION OF THE CRUISE FROM THE SÃO FRANCISCO MONASTERY OF OLINDA/PE. This article deals with the restoration of the Cross of St. Francis of Olinda, the preservation of cultural heritage, techniques and traditional building materials and traditional skills of the craft of stone masonry and techniques for preservation. In Brazil, Decree No. 3551/2000 established four dimensions for registration of property, intangible heritage: the celebrations, knowledge, forms of expression and significant places, while important dimensions to the study of culture. Such initiatives bounce directly on different fields of knowledge, in this case, the identification, documentation and methodology used in the restoration of Cruise, a member of the architectural monument set alone tumbled by IPHAN since 1938, from the restoration work carried out in 2016. Generally, these behaviors follow the procedures in the area, intervention methodologyes and preserve the know-how of this ancient construction techniques. Its durability allowed the permanence and opportunity to be able today to know several monuments built in stone with artistic stonework. For the conservation and restoration of stone work is required special knowledge about the know-how, the purpose of study, in the current conceptions, binds also to safe guarding the traditional construction techniques and to promote the permanence and conservation of cultural property. In this context, we intend to show the work done to restore Cruise, identification of damage, conditions and procedures for performing these services in Pernambuco.

"After a long period of neglect, a restoration work completed in 2010 brought the three artist houses on the Comacina Island back to the function for which they were born: to host artists in a charming location, surrounded by nature and silence. In 1917 the island came into possession of the King of Belgium, and then of the Italian State. The houses designed by Pietro Lingeri were built after the failure of more ambitious plans for the creation of an artists’ colony. Born in Bolvedro di Tremezzo, Lingeri graduated from the Academy of Brera, the institution entrusted with the management of the island. Commissioned in the first months of 1933, his original designs for a hotel and seven houses for Italian artists and four for Belgian artists were rejected. Therefore, he conceived three simple small villas combining local materials and traditional construction techniques with a modern vocabulary. The article traces the history of the houses, completed at the end of 1940 by one of the most important architects of Italian Rationalism."

The addition of a photocatalyst to ordinary building materials such as concrete creates environmentally friendly materials by which air pollution or pollution of the surface can be diminished. The use of LiNbO3photocatalyst in concrete material would be more beneficial since it can produce artificial photosynthesis in concrete. In these research photoassisted solid-gas phases reduction of carbon dioxide (artificial photosynthesis) was performed using a photocatalyst, LiNbO3, coated on concrete surface under illumination of UV-visible or sunlight and showed that LiNbO3achieved high conversion of CO2into products despite the low levels of band-gap light available. The high reaction efficiency of LiNbO3is explained by its strong remnant polarization (70 µC/cm2), allowing a longer lifetime of photoinduced carriers as well as an alternative reaction pathway. Due to the ease of usage and good photocatalytic efficiency, the research work done showed its potential application in pollution prevention.

Technological Tradition

In the Chinese technological tradition, no sector, apart from that of agriculture, is as rich in original ideas as naval architecture. Over the past three millennia, hundreds of different types of craft have been developed for use on China's shallow lakes, on its fast flowing rivers and along its often stormy coastal waters. Each type was developed for specific use as a means of transportation, and would seem to represent the ultimate answer to the challenges posed by local conditions. Ultimate answer, that is, within the limitations of the traditional building materials with which these boats were constructed and fitted out. Nor was ingenuity confined to construction techniques.

AbstractIntellectual property claims have long been sustained in a way that is now under severe scrutiny. Pacific Island countries continue to face unauthorized uses of their traditional knowledge and practices. In response, international agencies in collaboration with Pacific Island countries are promoting sui generis forms of protection. The Institute of Fijian Language and Culture's Cultural Mapping Programme looks beyond ongoing debates about indigenous collection and digitization of intangible heritage to promote sui generis protection measures in lieu of western intellectual property law. Supported by an Institute grant, the unfolding Sawau Project creates an archive of sites, stories, and shared memories of the Sawau people of Beqa, an island iconic in Fiji for its firewalking practice (vilavilairevo). Advocating a form of social intervention in situ, The Sawau Project has become a collaborative tool to encourage digital documentation, linkages, and institutional collaborations among Fijian communities and their allies to negotiate and promote alternative forms of protection.

Design And Construction

With the increase of the population recently, changes have occurred in the design and construction techniques of the buildings due to the insufficient building stock. With the development of science and technology, new construction techniques have emerged in the construction and design of structures. In the global population increase, high-rise buildings were built to meet the need for shelter and these structures were built with the development of technology. However, high-rise buildings have become the symbol of technological development for countries and cities. Since the 21st century, the construction of high-rise buildings in cities with different designs and new construction techniques has provided the development of architecture and engineering. It is important to design high-rise buildings in accordance with the culture and texture of the city. In addition, high-rise buildings should be built as structures resistant to natural disasters such as earthquakes, fires and floods. For this reason, the design and construction techniques of high-rise buildings have become a research subject in the field of architecture and engineering. The aim of this study is to examine the designs and construction techniques of high-rise buildings. In the first part of the study, the concept of high rise building and its historical development are discussed. In the second part of the study, the designs and construction techniques of high-rise buildings are investigated. In addition, the study was conducted to examine the high structure by giving examples from the world and Turkey. Within the scope of the study, literature researches such as domestic and international articles, books, published theses, web resources were conducted and data were collected. As a result of the examinations made within the scope of the study, it is important to select the building materials in accordance with the characteristics of the building materials in the design and construction techniques of high-rise buildings with the development of technology. Therefore, the architect should know the properties of the materials in the design of high-rise buildings and use them in accordance with the properties of the material in the construction of the buildings. In addition, increasing the height of the building by making aerodynamic designs in high buildings reduces the effect of the wind speed.

Building materials and construction technology are strongly interrelated with the pillars for sustainable development (e.g. environment, society economy, culture and politics). Earth Building, an 11,000-year-old practice of building using sustainable and earth materials, is practiced worldwide. Earth has been used to construct walls, floors, roofs, and even furniture. Today it is estimated that between 33-50%of the world's population is housed in earth homes. This chapter reviews the two-year process of earth buildings and earth architecture carried out by the Department of Architecture Faculty of Built Environment and Engineering at National University of Malaysia (UKM). The current research emphasis is on the types, construction methods, and architectural aspects of earth buildings and earth architecture. The current manuscript compares type of earth buildings and their properties and applications based on building materials and architectural aspects in construction.

As part of the current re-envisioning movement in professional practice doctoral education, the culminating activity and subsequent product have received heightened scrutiny. This chapter responds to the mandate that, in order to differentiate herself from her sister, the research-based PhD dissertation, the EdD's capstone exercise and culminating product arise through a practice-based, pedagogically appropriate application reflecting the philosophy and principles established for a problem-based dissertation in practice. Inexorably bound to context, and therefore unique in purpose, practice-driven models reflect a range of purposes and formats. This chapter presents a model that engages improvement science methods, the four dimensions characterizing a problem-based thesis, and the lens of contemporary thinking on the professional practice degree. The disquisition is an alternative capstone framework that affords doctoral candidates the opportunity to develop the qualitatively distinct ‘empirically-grounded know-how' of practitioner-scholar thinking.

Traditional Construction Techniques

This chapter is going to deal with the evolution of structural systems; traditional structural systems, modern structural systems and more than traditional approach to the structural systems. Beyond this, even though this chapter is related with structural systems as an integral part of architectural design, it is also going to explore the link between culture, traditional structural techniques, and influence of culture, cultural beliefs and local materials, natural constraints as local available materials, climate effects and disaster risks as drivers affecting the evolution of structural systems. Structural principles of traditional construction techniques will be analyzed. The link between modern buildings and their structural systems and traditional construction techniques will be discussed by tracing modern buildings and structural systems in terms of their evolution. The subject matter will be approached in a descriptive manner. The examples given will be used to trace the link between past and present as a way of associating cultural effect with the architectural uniqueness.
