Vernacular architecture typifies a majority of constraints from places where it belongs, where the use of local materials and techniques is one of the key features. In comparison to industrially-produced materials, vernacular materials have low ecological effects, being an alternate for sustainable construction. The expanding utilization of new industrially-produced and standardized materials resulted in the homogenization of the several used construction approaches, and spawned a universal architecture that oftentimes has gone out of the environment context and it is very reliant on energy and other resources. Vernacular architecture predicated on bioclimatism concepts was developed and used through the ages by many civilizations around the world. Different civilizations have produced their own architectural styles predicated on the local conditions.This paper addresses via an analytical study to indicate the relationship between vernacular architecture, locally sourced materials and structure by relating them with bioclimatic zones. To assess the contribution of these materials for sustainability, an evaluation with industrial materials at level of environmental indicators was established. This paper highlights the advantages of using local materials and techniques as a factor of local socio-economic development.  Also, indicating different solar passive features that are available in Vernacular architecture, related to temperature control and promoting natural ventilation by using locally available materials in their construction. Through this methodology, this study will introduce a new approach Bioclimatism and Vernacular architecture as a pass for new sustainable structure.

Vernacular architecture is a term used to categorize methods of construction which use locally available resources and traditions to address local needs. This paper addresses the relation between Chinese vernacular architecture and locally sourced materials, which shows that the application of the vernacular materials is the primary component of the sustainable value of vernacular architecture. To assess the contribution of these materials for sustainability, a comparison with industrial materials at level of environmental indicators was established. This paper highlights the advantages of using local materials and techniques as a factor of local socio-economic development.

The Relationship

We suggest a new approach to discourse, according to which it is analyzed as a research construct that emerges when language is described as a process in functioning and language structures considered in relation to text / statement. At the same time, the conditions due to which these correlations are possible, and these relations themselves are explicated. These conditions and procedures can be designated as a discourse. As relationships or functions, they combine various aspects of speech activity. Since these aspects are not material entities, but abstractions, the relations between them can be represented in the form of such an abstract object as a semiotic borderline, defined by analogy with the mathematical one - as a set of lines whose points belong to both adjacent sets. But this analogy can also be interpreted biologically - then this borderline appears as a membrane, and the relations between different domains become lines not only of the connection but also of the interpenetration of the elements and rules of one area into another. An observer, being located on this border, can be simultaneously transferred both to language, to the world, and to speech, he / she is able to detect domains connected through this border. So in the process of description, it becomes possible to represent the discourse in the form of an observable object and substitute relations (discourse) with its constituents (arguments) - language, world, speech, text, life form). Hence, such definitions as «text in the context of its actualization», «language in real time», «speech immersed in life», «person in language», may appear, where the discourse is identified through the members of the relationship that it connects.

The earlier masjid architectural styles were similar to Malay vernacular houses and evolved with the introduction of the modernist style. This resulted in increased energy consumption. Hence, a proper set of thermal comfort is important to provide a suitable environment for the masjid’s occupants. The vernacular characteristics in the passive designs have caused designers to find solutions towards sustainable designs. Therefore, designing a good thermal performance building can be done by readapting the Malay vernacular architecture and passive design strategies for modern masjids. This paper is aimed to document the literature and potential case studies in identifying the relationship between the design of Malay vernacular and thermal comfort elements in a hot and humid climate. The outcome is to formularize requirements of thermal comfort in Malay vernacular masjids based on four major factors namely i) architectural qualities, ii) construction systems, iii) structural components and iv) non-structural components. The research is intended to change the approach of future designers to become more sustainable based on the application of passive designs that suit the climatic condition of Malaysia.

The City

Dubai is a living example of how people play an important role in moulding the shape of a city. It started off as a small settlement in the deserts of the Middle East along a natural creek. The old city is a testament of how the natural growth led to the birth to the vernacular architecture of the region to combat its extreme climate. From a group of fishing villages, Dubai went on to become a hub for global business. It has eventually weaved itself from its people, their culture, traditions, social norms, etc. Its architecture of has undergone dynamic transformation with amazing innovation over the recent decades. Dubai has paced faster than any other city on earth and grew into eminence over a few decades. Built on the Arabian deserts with scarce resources like water, food, building materials, etc, Dubai is now one of the greatest cities in the world. With global warming being a major concern, the world is moving towards a holistic approach of sustainable living. The city has always exhibited its feat of excellence, and is now aimed at becoming the most sustainable city. This paper is an effort to study the architectural styles of the past, their sustainability and how it has evolved though these years. The study is a summary of the vernacular architecture processes that allowed its occupants a comfortable indoor environment in the hot desert conditions.

Sancho Panza

In an essential rejection of the Aristotelian model for perfect friendship, the intensely detailed account of the relationship between Don Quixote and Sancho Panza inaugurates a radically new approach to writing narrative friendship. Freed from the determinism of the traditional tale of two friends, the introduction of Sancho Panza into the narrative drives a new poetics of friendship in which hyperbolic genuflecting before the Aristotelian ideal gives way to an interest in verisimilitude now understood as the act of representing the world beyond the text. More specifically, Cervantes’s novel proposes a vision of narrative friendship that is radically anti-exemplary, serving not as the model for some universal ideal, but rather as an expression of the idiosyncratic inimitability—both practical and theoretical—of human relationships in the world.

Abstract. This article is the result of the work of four years of field trips (2016-2019) to the village of Gatlang (Nepal) and visits to some of the surrounding villages in the Rasuwa district. This area is mainly inhabited by Tamang, of Buddhist culture and of distant Mongolian origin. The architecture of the Tamang ethnic group is unique although shares some common characteristics with other mountain or isolated architectures around the world. Due to its difficult access and remote location of these communities, the architecture uses mostly local materials (stone and wood). Although this characteristic is common to many other communities of the Himalayan mountain range, even today it is possible to differentiate architectural styles associated with ethnic groups in different regions. The primitive state of these constructions is progressively altered by the inclusion of new materials, especially in areas affected by earthquakes, such as this one, where the urgency and need to guarantee the safety of new constructions has resulted in disparate and uncontrolled reconstructions. The article aims to identify and analyze Tamang vernacular architecture constructions, their invariants, and gain in-depth knowledge of their general behavior when faced with environmental factors, as well as conservation possibilities. The final objective is to promote the recovery of this architecture, guaranteeing its structural safety and adapting it to the current habitability needs, but trying to maintain the typological invariants that preserve its value as a set of historical, cultural and tourist interests, which form part of the Tamang Heritage Trail.

This chapter takes a new approach to the much-analysed relationship between domestic and international law. It considers how global changes in domestic constitutional structures have changed the sources of international law. It argues that domestic constitutional structures have changed in similar ways in many countries around the world over the past century. Treaties, custom, and ‘soft law’ as sources of international law have each been shaped by these changes, particularly the rise in legislative power for treaties, the rise in legislative and judicial power for custom and general principles, and the rise of the administrative state for soft law. This chapter also considers how the content of each source of international law is influenced by domestic constitutional structures. It concludes with some normative perspectives on the relationship between each source of international law and changes in domestic constitutional structures.

Banking fragility phenomenon  in the world as well as in Indonesia whip out some interesting issues to be investigated. The objective of this study is to investigate the dynamic causality relationship between competitionand stability of bank in Indonesia. The relationship between competition and stability of bank has long been a controversy before some crises takes place in the world either in theoretical or in empirical sphere. The crucial question  such as will competition  increase stability of banking industry  or the other way around will competition create instability in banking system in Indonesiaare going to be investigated in this study. Stability will be analyzed by z-score, and competition will be measured by HHI. Testing the relationship between competition and stability will be conducted by Panel Vector Autoregression, a relatively new approach in econometrics. Empirical result indicates that competition  decreasedstability of banking industry,whereas stability has aninsignificant effect to competition.

Sustainable architecture is a well-known and studied subject for severeal decades. The environmental awareness of professionals has put sustainability in the center of the profession of architecture and has resulted in introducing and implementing ecological designs both in the scale of buildings and cities. This article presents sustainable architecture criteria, reckons regional aspects, interprets vernacular architecture and, proposes sustainable housing unit models for Mediterranean region, specifically Cyprus. The article intends to study existing researches regarding the subject, reveals and updates key aspects on sustainable housing by focusing on the passive solar systems through proposals. The article contains proposals of an experimental and conceptual approach of a group of graduate studio course students who are architects and interior designers. The conceptual approaches of design proposals are sustainable through the usage of local materials, orientation, usage of passive solar systems, natural ventilation and lighting, hence these proposals are intended to create a diversity. In that sense, this article presents possibilities of ideal plan layouts and facades for sustainable architectural housing units in Mediterranean region, Cyprus, based on the revealed key aspects on sustainability. The originality of the article is on the design proposals that take inspiration from the characteristics of vernacular architecture, but show a contemporary approach of design.
