"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."

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.

Parametric modeling, usually considered modeling tools, has been analyzed in this chapter in a different way: as design tools for architect. First the use of parametric design has been considered from different approaches. Starting from the approach of Kas Oosterhuis Architect, in the Saltwater pavilion (1997), or Peter Cook Architect in the Kunsthaus (2003), in which the parametric tools have been used as shapes generation tools. Until the approach of the Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, in the Sunny Hills building (2013), where the parametric tools have been used to rethink traditional construction techniques in a parametric way, known as chidori. After the analysis of the different parametric approaches, a new perception on the architectural design will be provided. In particular, the analytic way and the creative way, are usually separated in the architectural design, and it will enhance their interaction, in some cases, they become the same thing. This approach makes explicit and evaluable parts of the design process, reducing the gap between concept and goal in the design.

The Indian state of West Bengal is governed and politically dominated by the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M) for short) which has been in Government there since 1977 as the largest constituent party to the ruling Left Front. The CPI(M)'s position in West Bengal is unique both in India and in the world in the sense that it is the only Communist party to be popularly elected and reelected to power for such a long period. Today it draws most of its electoral support from the rural areas where the party is supported by peasants of practically all socio-economic sections. It is to an interesting period in the history of Communism in Bengal that this article will turn, namely to the creation of a particular alliance of Marxists and peasants in the restlessness in that state in the late 1960s and the virtual elimination of non-Marxist forces in large areas.

A cidade de Piracicaba, localizada no interior do estado de São Paulo em território brasileiro, fez parte do berço de grande importância para o desenvolvimento agrícola de toda a região. Por meio dessa cultura, assim como sua localização estratégica, ficou conhecida em todo o país, o que atraiu a atenção de produtores açucareiros e a criação de engenhos em seu território, assim como usinas de açúcar. A Usina Monte Alegre, fundada no início do século XX, foi um espelho para outras cidades de como as tecnologias voltadas à agricultura são importantes. A implantação dessas tecnologias foi tão bem sucedida que os proprietários criaram vilas operárias e infraestrutura para abrigar os milhares de funcionários nos arredores dessas indústrias. Atualmente, a usina está inoperante, tendo apenas parte de sua área ocupada por uma fábrica de papel e celulose, porém uma grande identidade visual e arquitetônica foi deixada em Monte Alegre, assim como grande potencial para novos usos e tecnologias. Com estudos necessários sobre patrimônios industriais, sustentabilidade e novos mercados internacionais, é possível fazer com que a UMA tenha mais uma vez seu momento de ascensão e crie diversos empregos e oportunidades para a região.

Developmental stages of construction technologies in Turkey followed various methods and showed differences in practice up to 20th century when the first examples of early-period reinforced concrete structures was created. Following the late 18th century, when traditional construction techniques were applied to new masses and building types, the use of modern bricks in vertical carrier elements together with the means of the 19th century was followed by an increase in masonry construction types of building structures. The paper emphasizes in the effects of traditional construction techniques applied with brick, steel, concrete materials on construction technology in Turkey. Traditional construction techniques are classified and detailed evaluations are made on the design principles of the buildings with historical characteristics.

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.
