Perhaps an apology is due to the readers of the Journal of Hellenic Studies for venturing to call their attention to so fragmentary a vase as the one depicted in the accompanying illustrations, Figs. 1, 2; the excuse must be that the design offers certain points of interest which make one regret its mutilated state.All that are preserved are the stem and part of the interior design, cm. 5·5 × 4·8, of a r.-f. kylix which was purchased at Orvieto and purports to have been found there. The clay is fine and well worked, the black varnish of the stem of a brilliant lustre. Of the exterior design there remains only a small section of the ring indicating the ground, and one long, slender foot.

As the wave of sustainability is sweeping across the major countries and cities of the world, the effect of the inevitable change is finding its way through to the health sector as well. Since the main functions of the hospital include healing the patient, it aims to provide adequate health services to people. Hospitals managers should strive to realize facilities that meet a certain level of demand. This study aims to present the interior environmental quality (IEQ) of bedrooms in Jordanian hospitals and propose a solution to improve indoor environment quality using sustainable design principles. A qualitative research methodology is used in this study. A comparative analysis is made between the original set up of the hospital buildings and the present conditions in which they are in. During the research, it was found that the design to be applied for a hospital should be following the healing environmental characteristics. Besides, the design of hospitals should be made with the climatic conditions of the area in mind. In the advanced countries of the world, hospitals are generally built with extensive research and important factors such as temperature, wind direction and humidity are taken into consideration. The design for a hospital building should be assessed according to the German Green Building Assessment (DGNB) criteria. It has been found that the one-bedroom is ideal for patients because it provides the necessary privacy and also greatly reduces the spread of the disease. In hygienic practices, there should be a first-class healing environment with evidence-based medical research. It was concluded that the practices involving the use of sustainable designs can be followed with the hints received from hospitals in the advanced countries of the world.

Dive Profile

In scientific and technical diving, the survey of unknown or partially unexplored areas is a common task that requires an accurate planning for ensuring the optimal use of resources and the divers’ safety. In particular, in any kind of diving activity, it is essential to foresee the “dive profile” that represents the diver’s exposure to pressure over time, ensuring that the dive plan complies with the specific safety rules that have to be applied in accordance with the diver’s qualification and the environmental conditions. This paper presents a novel approach to dive planning based on an original underwater pathfinding algorithm that computes the best 3D path to follow during the dive in order to be able to maximise the number of points of interest (POIs) visited, while taking into account the safety limitations. The proposed approach, for the first time, considers the morphology of the 3D space in which the dive takes place to compute the best path, taking into account the decompression limits and avoiding the obstacles through the analysis of a 3D map of the site. Moreover, three different cost functions are proposed and evaluated to identify the one that could suit the divers’ needs better.

Abstract The Casa da Nostalgia, or “Nostalgic house,” in the Taipa area of the special administrative region of Macau, is a museum devoted to temporary exhibitions reconstructing everyday life in the city, especially in the epoch of Portuguese ruling. Just opposite the museum, on the other side of a large pond, a giant casino, the Venetian Macau, reproduces Venice both with its external architecture and its interior design. The article analyzes these two urban settings in order to develop a semiotic understanding of as many ways of symbolically reconstructing cities. On the one hand, cities can be reconstructed in a nostalgic form; the essay inquires on the origin and the consequences of urban nostalgia; on the other hand, cities can be reconstructed as ersatz. The article further investigates the dialectics between predominantly temporal or prevailingly spatial urban reconstructions, with reference to the socio-cultural dynamics that have changed Macau in the last decades. The article concludes with the methodological suggestion that the study of urban re-constructions requires the combined efforts of several disciplines, jointly investigating why, how, but also to what effect cities are re-built.

The Relationship

"The project for Villa Borsotti, whose construction ended in 1932, is the result of a collaboration between the architect Umberto Cuzzi and the artist Gigi Chessa, who built this small house at the edge of the village of Balme in Val d’Ala di Lanzo, in the area surrounding Turin. The essay focuses on the genesis of the project, with reference to the cultural and professional context within which the protagonists have worked. In terms of the relationship between the external aspect and its location in the Alpine context, the building seems to be characterized by the presence of two apparently opposite tendencies. On the one hand, the building looks for a contextualization in the mountain landscape through the declination in local key of a rationalist language, with a modern use of local dialect, composed of “lemmas” from the Alpine building tradition (stone masonry, wooden infill, bipartition between stone basement and wooden upper floor, etc.). At the same time, thanks to the bending configuration of the plan and the ribbon window, the surrounding environment also “enters” the house and becomes an integral part of it. On the other, the house seems to pursue the effect of alienation from the context through the conscious research of a formal autonomy with which the object “lands” in the natural framework of the valley. Another interesting trait of the house is the treatment of interiors according to the idea of configuring a wrap-around environment in which architecture and interior design are strongly intertwined."

Learning is a process that takes place within a person that changes behavior in attitude, thinking, and acting. The term "design" is a word that is quite authoritative when coupled with other words. Graphic design, visual communication design, interior design, exterior design. Initially, we knew the word 'design, design, design'. In line with the socio-cultural development, this word is further judged to no longer fully cover the activities, science, breadth and prestige of the profession. There is another word 'design'. But even that word leads to engineering practice. The experts (market) then prefer to Indonesianize the original word design (English) into design. This may be more representative of branches of science, professions, study programs.

Asianisms, that is, discourses and ideologies claiming that Asia can be defined and understood as a homogenous space with shared and clearly defined characteristics, have become the subject of increased scholarly attention over the last two decades. The focal points of interest, however, are generally East Asian varieties of regionalism. That “the cult of Asianism” has played an important role on the Indian subcontinent, too—as is evident from the quote above—is less understood. Aside from two descriptive monographs dating back to the 1970s, there has been relatively little scholarly engagement with this phenomenon. In this article, we would like to offer an overview of several distinct concepts of Asia and pan-Asian designs, which featured prominently in both political and civil society debates in India during the struggle for Independence. Considering the abundance of initiatives for Asian unification, and, in a more abstract sense, discourses on Asian identity, what follows here is necessarily a selection of discourses, three of which will be subjected to critical analysis, with the following questions in mind:•What were the concrete motives of regional—in this case Indian—actors to appropriate the concept of Asianism? Is the popularity of supranational frames of reference solely to be explained as an affirmation of a distinctive identity vis-à-vis the imagined powerful West, or are there other motives to be found?•What were the results of these processes of appropriation, and how were these manifested politically and culturally?•What tensions resulted from the simultaneous existence of various nationalisms in Asia on the one hand and macro-nationalistic pan-Asianism on the other?

AbstractThe Parodos of Medea, with the following musical exchanges between Chorus, Medea (offstage) and Nurse, has some unsatisfactory features in the manuscripts and in editions, for which some new remedies are proposed. Already in the Entry-verses (131-8) the detail of the text has long been controversial, on grounds partly linguistic, partly metrical. Later, at 160 Medea is heard invoking "Themis and Artemis", in words directly referred to by the Nurse at 168-9 as addressed to "Themis and Zeus", and less directly at 208-9 by the Chorus as addressed to "Themis (wife) of Zeus". The apparently irrelevant '′Αρτεμι in 160 has been variously emended by Weil and others. A number of other points of interest (especially of metre) are discussed in passing. But the most important single proposal is a transposition putting lines 160-72 after 173-203; thus on the one hand making the antistrophe 173-83 directly sequential to the strophe 148-59, and on the other hand making the concluding choral epode (204-13: "I heard . . .") directly responsive to the Nurse's question at 168-70 ("Do you hear . . .?"). The Nurse's sinister forecast at 171-2 becomes her parting words, as she goes into the house (we shall not see her again) to fetch her mistress.

On the one hand, traditional culture plays a very important role in the creation of indoor environment nowadays. On the other hand, the sustainable development of the indoor environment makes the traditional culture to have the vitality again. Diverse and healthy indoor environments can be developed by learning from traditional culture. Traditional thinking and elements and Feng Shui (geomancy) concept subtly permeates modern interior design and makes the indoor environment healthier, more interesting and more vitality.

During the interwar period, Polish interior design consulting stimulated our national achievements; however, it did not happen in isolation from foreign trends. One of the most distinct influences were the accomplishments of German residential culture. The previous German influence had been coloured by negative associations: with the period under German occupation on the one hand, and with the outdated apartment functions and aesthetics based on the residential culture of the late 19th century and its neo-style furnishings on the other. Yet as early as in the late 1920s, a completely different German horizon began to appear, gaining popularity in the 1930s. Ever since then German interior design and furnishing achievements became synonymous with rationality, functionality, and even, broadly speaking, general modernity. It is therefore difficult to present an unambiguous diagnosis of the German-Polish relationship relating to habitation during the interwar period. On the one hand it was difficult to escape the tensions generated by political and national prejudices, and on the other, to evade the neighbouring German cultural achievements and their real and positive impact on many Polish accomplishments, especially in the realms of architecture and habitation. One may say that the emotional antagonism which could be seen during the 1920s faded with time and was displaced, at least among experts, by an awareness of the nearby existence of successful models which, thanks to specialist literature and books, along with visiting fairs and exhibitions, were well known and appreciated.

Despite the development of architecture, the courtyard remained one of the most important methods of preserving the privacy and suitability of the environmental and social aspects as well as its role in the process of regulating the spatial relations between the mass and the vacuum, highlighting the importance, especially in light of the increasing seriousness of slums in the design and neglect of its role in the architectural form and reflections of the shape of the courtyard In the form of the composition of the building, thus the problem of the search was (Lack of cognitive perception available on the role of the internal courtyard in the organization of the function of architecture and its implications at the level of bilateral and three-dimensional mass configuration). And the approach of research to clarify the architectural characteristics of the structured internal courtyard and its functions and strategy as well as the patterns of spatial structure through the construction of knowledge framework, and then a comprehensive theoretical framework of the internal courtyard structured derived from the architectural proposals to reflect the final in four main words: The architectural characteristics of the structured inner courtyard, the spatial structure patterns of the structured inner courtyard, the functions of the organized inner courtyard, and the structured interior design strategy. It has been applied to selected projects to clarify the extent to which these indicators are achieved and to reach conclusions, which showed the existence of a relationship between the two (vacuum and mass) on the one hand and between the two (vacuum, and spatial organization of the spaces) on the other hand, and three aspects: Mass formation, function formation, and movement configuration", reflecting the internal courtyard structure in terms of simplicity or complexity.
