The Impact

Objective The study examines the integration of the Evidence-based Design (EBD) approach in healthcare architecture education in the context of an academic design studio. Background Previous research addressed the gap between scientific research and architectural practice and the lack of research on the use of the EBD approach in architectural education. Methods The research examines an undergraduate architectural studio to design a Maggie’s Centre for cancer care in Israel and evaluates the impact of the EBD approach on the design process and design outcomes. The research investigates the impact of the integration of three predesign tasks: (1) literature review of healing architecture research, (2) analysis and comparison of existing Maggie’s Centres, and (3) analysis of the context of the design project. Results The literature review of scientific research supported the conceptual design and development of the projects. The analysis of existing Maggie’s centers, which demonstrated the interpretation of the evidence by different architects, developed the students’ ability to evaluate EBD in practice critically, and the study of the projects’ local context led the students to define the relevance of the evidence to support their vision for the project. Conclusions The research demonstrates the advantages of practicing EBD at an early stage in healthcare architectural education to enhance awareness of the impact of architectural design on the users’ health and well-being and the potential to support creativity and innovative design. More studies in design studios are needed to assess the full impact of integrating EBD in architectural education.

PurposeGreen walls (GWs), comprising living walls and green facades, have been touted as environmentally friendly products in architectural design. GWs can be viable in every aspect of sustainability; they provide residents of buildings with a wide range of economic, social and environmental benefits. Despite this, the adoption rate of GW is still in its infancy stage, and the existing literature concerning the hindrances inhibiting GW adoption is very limited. To address these gaps, the aim of this paper is to identify and prioritize the hindrances to GW adoption in Hong Kong.Design/methodology/approachAfter identifying 17 hindrances through an in-depth review of literature, the fuzzy Delphi method (FDM) is employed to refine the hindrances based on the local context with the help of 21 qualified experts in the field. Subsequently, Fuzzy Parsimonious Analytic Hierarchy Process (FPAHP) is exploited as a recently developed technique to prioritize the identified hindrances.FindingsResults reveal that the most significant hindrances to the adoption of GW are maintenance cost, high installation cost, difficulties in maintenance, sophisticated implementation and inducement to fire. Findings call for scholars to address ways to improve GW installation practices and methods in order to eradicate the hindrances and provide lessons for policymakers, assisting them in facilitating the larger-scale adoption of GW.Originality/valueConsidering the dearth of studies on hindrances to the adoption of GWs, this paper provides a comprehensive outlook of the issue, providing knowledge that can be used as a building block for future scholars within the field. It also provides valuable insights for stakeholders within the construction industry about the hindrances to the adoption of GWs which could direct their efforts toward better implementation of it.

The digital model is both a simple tool of intuitive design thinking used to devise spatial compositions and the base layer of increasingly complex computational practices imbued with layers of contingent information. It has replaced paper as the primary venue of architectural communication, regardless of a user’s level of experience, specific purpose, or degree of sophistication. The ubiquity of the digital model begets complacency toward its implications, which include a significant threat to the logic of the traditional architectural design process established in the Renaissance and upheld throughout centuries of disciplinary change. The extent to which the threat poses a crisis is an open question, and architectural education today has an opportunity (if not a responsibility) to confront that question head-on, so as to produce a generation of practitioners cognizant of the stakes. After a generation of adaptation, and amid a steady stream of innovation that continually (and productively) destabilizes day-to-day practice, the logic of the digital model itself—the framework onto which innovations are applied—is taken for granted. Despite the persistence of increasingly tiresome digital-verses-analog debates, the discipline has yet to reflect critically on the basic nature of the digital model. That inquiry must begin at the most foundational level—the first year of the education of the architect. The project outlined in this paper is a central component of a new foundation design pedagogy currently under development at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. It introduces students to the digital model in a manner that lays bare how contemporary design tools are both alike and unlike traditional ones, and it challenges students to wrestle with the relevance of historical practices in an era of relentless innovation. The description of the project included here is to be deployed in the second iteration of the new program in academic year 2019/2020. Illustrations are drawn from the first iteration in academic year 2018/2019. This is an ongoing experiment in architectural education being conducted in a transparent manner. Students understand that the curriculum is dynamic, not settled, and that their work is contributing to pedagogical and disciplinary research.

I am impressed but not surprised at how differently Tom, Richard and Iview the question of “affecting change in architectural education.” Tomtook on the more expansive issue of how the broader university might redefineitself through “design thinking” and “design thinkers’” leadership,while Richard gave a concise overview of long held aspirations forarchitectural education and the profession. And I took on architecture’srelationship to society, particularly concerned with “massive societalchanges.” All of us, however, appear to have faith in architecture’sability, using Richard’s words, to “make a difference.” It seems to methat relying on past and even present architecture education models isnot the best strategy.- - - -Change is both pervasive and evasive. In architectural education,evasive may arguably dominate. Although many aspects of change(or the potential therefore) might serve as a basis for this discussion,change to mitigate the negative environmental impacts of buildings willbe selected as a case in point. There may be no single issue of greaterlong-term impact facing architectural education and the professions itserves.

In Yerevan, as well as in a number of other Armenian cities, gardens were designed and constructed mainly during the Soviet era, and most of them were transformed, distorted and devastated in the first decade of the period of independence. In the last decade, a unique number of gardens/parks have been built or reconstructed in Yerevan. The city of Yerevan needs this kind of investigation. To observe and analyse the current state of gardens and parks, architectural and design structures as well as compositional design issues and problems concerning Yerevan’s gardens and parks can be the first study in the Armenian history of design and architecture  We still do not have any information about similar research efforts in the given sphere carried out in the countries neighbouring Armenia and other foreign countries. This article presents the right process of modernization and/or construction of gardens/parks based on the study of the best models envisions and requires application and implementation of different tools of compositional design and modification  not only in the design proper of gardens/parks, but also in the external design and aesthetic nuances of the adjacent surrounding, leaving any compositional design setup unchanged.

The study examined the qualitative originality, current state, and problems of improving journalism education in Russia. In broad terms, this topic determined the content of the research project "Theoretical and Educational Schools of Journalism in Russia" initiated and implemented at St. Petersburg State University with the participation of other domestic and foreign universities. Highlighting the school of journalism as an independent object of study, identifying and emphasizing its features of originality, project participants thus relate it to the models that deny global standardization. The authors of the article recognize the variability of approaches to education under the influence of fundamental shifts in practice and the current market conjuncture, at the same time they emphasize the significance of constant characteristics of the school phenomenon. The article is based on the materials of expert interviews, which are an integral part of the project program. The experts are the heads and leading employees of educational organizations for training journalists. Experts identified the mandatory components of theoretical and educational schools, revealed the features of their fundamental similarities and differences, and discussed the prospects and difficulties of their qualitative growth under the pressure of market conditions, unification, and commercialization of education. The training of journalists in higher education is viewed in the light of the cultural traditions of national education, press, and journalism. The school appears as an integral phenomenon in its fundamental characteristics and at the same time as a variety of specific manifestations (schools) that have developed under the influence of personal, regional, historical, cultural, and other factors. The possibility and feasibility of a monographic study of the Russian theoretical and educational school of journalism as an independent and unique phenomenon in international professional educational practice are revealed. The genesis and functioning of domestic journalism schools are presented in comparison with the experience and pedagogical ideologies of foreign universities.

Future Of Education

Since its inception in 2000, the international comparative survey of education qua­lity PISA has become a globally recognized powerful lever for improving national education systems, determining their state and development trends according to internationally agreed indicators based on measurements using internationally agreed tools (tests and questionnaires) and procedures for preparation, administration and evaluation of results. In 2015, the OECD launched the "Future of Education and Skills 2030" project, aimed at developing the foundations for an effective education system for the future, the first phase of which culminated in 2019 with the creation of the OECD Learning Compass 2030, a conceptual framework for future school curricula and studying in a learner context. At the second stage, it is planned to create the foundations of effective educating in the context of a teacher. These documents should play the role of the foundation for making the PISA program better by improving, first of all, the PISA subject frameworks in the main domains: reading, mathematics and natural sciences. For the effective improvement of Ukraine's education system, it is important not only to analyse its current state, in particular, its PISA-2018 results, but also to pursue a long-term educational policy aimed at developing an educational model that is based on national educational and cultural achievements and traditions, and is also consistent with the developments of the OECD project "The Future of Education and Skills 2030". The article analyzes the key ideas of the OECD Learning Compass 2030 and discusses some issues of their implementation in the educational practice of Ukraine.

The analysis of the higher education in the sphere of sustainable development shows that there is a need to include the concept of sustainable and practical design thinking at all levels, starting from ideological level (stability as conceptual and ethical justification of architecture), methodological level (the principles and strategy for the solution of various subject matters), and finally, practical level, by introducing stability concerning programs for architectural education to impart abilities to critically analyze process and to creatively find sustainable solutions which can be developed for creation of the environment. The two-level programs implemented at the universities consisting of the system of architectural education and a subsystem of steady architectural design (consisting of the steady theoretical and design training/practical courses and cross-disciplinary courses connected with education in the field of sustainable development in the architectural training program) are presented in this article.

The Right

The Constitution of Ukraine enshrines and guarantees the right to labor as an opportunity to earn a living by work that a person freely chooses or agrees to. However, the current conditions indicate that the consolidation and guarantee of everyone’s right to labor is not an unconditional evidence of its inviolability, the absence of unjustified restrictions and obstacles to its realization. One of such obstacles to the realization of this right is gender discrimination, which violates the balance of male and female labor at the labor market and creates an imbalance in the harmonious development of labor and closely related relations. In this regard, the author has emphasized the importance of the existence of a wide range of effective legal principles in the national labor legislation for non-discrimination while employment, in particular on the grounds of sex, as well as an effective mechanism for their realization. It has been clarified that the legal regulation of non-discrimination on the grounds of sex while employment is the legal regulation of labor and closely related relations through legal means in order to achieve gender parity, prevention of any manifestations of gender discrimination in the realization of the right to labor by each person and citizen. It has been established that the current state of the development of legislative provisions of Ukraine in the field of employment implies the existence of a certain range of legal principles regulating the prevention of discrimination on the grounds of sex while being employed. The emphasis has been placed on the analysis of certain legal principles of non-discrimination, the effect of which extends to the stage of job search and acquaintance with current vacancies at the labor market. Their legal content has been analyzed and suggestions for their semantic improvement have been provided. It has been determined that an unjustified refusal to be hired should be considered a refusal that is devoid of any motivation or when an employer refuses a candidate for reasons other than his professional and business qualities, or does not take into account a number of special requirements provided by the current legislation. The author has emphasized on the need to create legal conditions for the harmonious combination of the interests of an employee and an employer, which can assist in preventing discrimination and allowштп each party to labor and closely related relations to achieve the desired result in realizing their labor rights and interests.

Alternating Magnetic Fields

The current state of technology is characterized by the mass use of electricity, the use of various electrical, electronic and radio devices. This causes expansion of magnetic measurements and the need to develop new highly sensitive measuring equipment for a wide range of frequencies. One of its main elements, that largely determines the accuracy, frequency and dynamic ranges, are the primary measuring sensors of strength (induction) of alternating magnetic fields. Many works have been devoted to the analysis and development of various sensors of strength (induction) of magnetic fields. At the same time, it can be noted the lack of a systematic approach to the measurement of alternating magnetic fields. The problem of the general classification of methods of measurement of alternating magnetic fields and, accordingly, primary measuring sensors of strength (induction) of alternating magnetic fields is not solved. In most cases, separate issues of measuring alternating magnetic fields and certain types of sensors are considered. That does not allow obtaining a holistic picture in this area and make the right choice of direction for solving assigned tasks. The comprehensive analysis of methods of measuring alternating magnetic fields was carried out in this work. Based on it, the classification of primary measuring sensors of strength (induction) of alternating magnetic fields, on the physical principles of transformation was proposed. Accordingly, the available measuring sensors of alternating magnetic fields following to the group of used physical phenomena can be divided into: magnetomechanical, induction, galvanomagnetic, quantum, magneto-optical and photomagnetic. Depending on the characteristics of each of these phenomena, separate measurement methods and types of measuring sensors were highlighted. The current state of development of each of the types of measuring sensors of strength of alternating magnetic fields was analyzed, their advantages and disadvantages were determined, the limits of dynamic and frequency ranges, the maximum values of errors were outlined. The obtained results allow to significantly simplify and reduce the time of choosing the necessary method of strength (induction) of alternating magnetic fields measuring and to choose the necessary type of measuring sensor to effectively solve the tasks.
