El objetivo de la presente investigación se basa en demostrar la ausencia de límites entre el espacio interior y el espacio exterior en un escenario comercial, se desarrolla en la calle Peatonal Lijnbaan, Rotterdam con la aspiración de entender que ocurre previo y después de una fachada -escaparate- comercial; las peatonales comerciales son fragmentos de pocos metros en donde el peatón interactúa inmediatamente con el espacio y permite contacto entre lo privado (tienda comercial) y lo público (conjunto comercial calle); los elementos compositivos tanto del interior como del exterior son los datos base para la comparación, el método relacional resulta de la abstracción teórica de textos relacionados con la guía de espacios interiores de carácter comercial así como espacios urbanos peatonales; una exploración a través de tres dimensiones, la primera focalizada sobre la calle comercial, la escala humana – urbana- del conjunto, la segunda, la escala del producto, asentada sobre elementos de un interior comercial, y por último en la búsqueda de la similitud y equilibrio de elementos surge la tercera, el umbral, como un espacio sin límites definidos. Palabras clave: Espacios intermedios, tienda comercial, relación espacial, escala, elementos del espacio. AbstractThe objective of this research was based on demonstrating the absence of limits between interior and exterior space in a commercial setting. It was developed in the Lijnbaan Pedestrian Street, Rotterdam with the aspiration of understanding what happens before and after a commercial facade - window -. The commercial pedestrian ones were fragments of few meters where the pedestrian interacted immediately with the space and allowed contact between the private (commercial store) and the public (commercial street set). The compositional elements of both the interior and the exterior were the base data for the comparison, the relational method results from the theoretical abstraction of texts related to the guide of interior spaces of commercial character as well as urban pedestrian spaces. There was an exploration through three dimensions, the first one focused on the commercial street, the human scale - urban - of the set, the second one, the scale of the product, seated on elements of a commercial interior, and finally, in the search of the similarity and balance of elements the third one arises, the threshold, as a space without defined limits. Keywords: Intermediate spaces, commercial store, spatial relationship, scale, space elements.

Structures create interior spaces. However, the sense of every space depends on the type of structure used. This paper tries to evaluate structural systems apply in architecture and then analyse space identity given by different structures. The method of this study mainly depends on a survey in the current literature and case study which the colour building in the department of architecture in EMU-North Cyprus has taken as the case study. Frame concrete (column and beam) is used in the building, which has made the interiors compacted in the structure's boundary. At the same time, inside spaces have some freedom as partition walls separate them. In this case, the structure proliferates visual focal points, corners and angles, to the main space. These visual definitions lately make the spaces to be more defined.

Title: The Study of Ecological Concept in the Central Library of Gadjah Mada University Ecological architecture becomes one of the concept as well as solutions in the building design which minimizes environmental damages and maintains the quality of human life. The central library of Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta is used as the research object to rate its ecological level. This study uses a quantitative method to rate its ecological level based on the ecological design principles of Sim Van der Ryn such as ecological accounting, design with nature, and making nature visible. The assessment parameters are based on some references such as the greenship of GBCI, the principles of tropical architecture, and the principle of building accessibility. The results showed that generally, the library has applied ecological concept well through some strategies such as extensive greening, energy efficiency, adequate natural lighting, slim building masses, shading elements, and some facilities for the difable. Some measurements are done to find out the ecological performance of the building such as energy efficiency by 39.17%; daylighting 300 lux at 60.67% of indoor area, visualization of solar radiation reception, and OTTV value by 19,85 watt/m2. However, there are some necessary evaluations such as leakage on the ceiling or the application of greenroof that can be further optimized.

The Impact

This paper makes the case that a significant factor in the failure to ensure adequate daylighting performance for interior spaces is often due to the inadequacy of methods used at the early stages of planning. All of the methods currently used for daylight/sunlight planning share common failings: they cannot make meaningful estimations of performance at the outset, nor can the methods used be extended/refined to overcome these failings. Thus, it is argued, a new approach is required. The paper gives an overview of the history and development of methods to predict performance; from the conception of the daylight factor to climate-based daylight modelling. The impact of prescriptive planning regulations is described using New York City as the example. The paper concludes with an outline of a new modelling schema which can provide the much needed link between the real-world practicalities of building planning and the need to determine realistic indicators of building performance at the earliest stages of obtaining planning consent.

The Impact

One of the most important issues in Latvia after gaining independence, as in all post-socialism countries, is the assessment and further development of the economic potential and the related urban space structure. The socio-economic preconditions of planning of the urban construction environment and the architectural spatial transformation are associated with the building reconstruction and regeneration. Today, an integral part of the transformation of inhabited areas is also building renovation and injection of landscape elements in the mechanical structures of the development plans of the Soviet times. These measures ensure a harmonious balanced living space and corresponding living conditions for residents (Treija et al. 2010). The transformation process of the image of the architecturally spatial environment of inhabited areas is dynamic in its nature. This process is affected by socio-economic and engineering opportunities, as well as the peculiarities of the artistically aesthetic perception of the corresponding period. The image of the urban space has a very strong spiritual aura, which arises a series of thoughts, associations, views and emotions (Ziemeļniece 2010). The main task of the compositional image of the urban environment is to generate positive feelings in the population or in each traveler who visits the particular settlement. The Latvian historical localities – cities, manor ensembles, farmstead groups – over the centuries have been created as grid structures, where the social and economic activities overlap, according to the settlement function, scale and reachability (Briņķis, Buka 2006).

Abstract. Environmentalism as the overall concept of ecological architecture is defined as the inter-relations between people, and how built forms affect the surroundings through design, reflecting the impact of technology, human principles of living with nature, and of social connections in communities. Modern ecological designs have smart solutions in planning climatic zones, with optimised natural lighting to lower energy use, and reduce wastage. Passive thermal comfort methods and spatial alignment of buildings to sun orientation have brought the ideals of organic architecture full circle since the “sparse and scarce” principles of technological design limitations guided vernacular urbanism over time. Today’s modern buildings, abstracted from mass-produced designs, are shaped to trends and tastes, bringing attention to the artificial materiality of architectural forms and the hidden costs of innovations. To understand the relevance of sustainable strategies in developing critical regionalism, this paper reviews the scope of ecological architecture principles application for temperate climates, and examines the viability of strategies as passive cooling, thermal comfort and greenery-based ventilation. Through case study discussions of two Malaysian eco-architectural designers, Ken Yeang and Kevin Mark Low, it will also be argued that the spirit of nationalism and cultural regionalism can be integrated effectively into urban built forms.

AbstractOptimal Bayesian models have been highly successful in describing human performance on perceptual decision-making tasks, such as cue combination and visual search. However, recent studies have argued that these models are often overly flexible and therefore lack explanatory power. Moreover, there are indications that neural computation is inherently imprecise, which makes it implausible that humans would perform optimally on any non-trivial task. Here, we reconsider human performance on a visual search task by using an approach that constrains model flexibility and tests for computational imperfections. Subjects performed a target detection task in which targets and distractors were tilted ellipses with orientations drawn from Gaussian distributions with different means. We varied the amount of overlap between these distributions to create multiple levels of external uncertainty. We also varied the level of sensory noise, by testing subjects under both short and unlimited display times. On average, empirical performance – measured as d’ – fell 18.1% short of optimal performance. We found no evidence that the magnitude of this suboptimality was affected by the level of internal or external uncertainty. The data were well accounted for by a Bayesian model with imperfections in its computations. This “imperfect Bayesian” model convincingly outperformed the “flawless Bayesian” model as well as all ten heuristic models that we tested. These results suggest that perception is founded on Bayesian principles, but with suboptimalities in the implementation of these principles. The view of perception as imperfect Bayesian inference can provide a middle ground between traditional Bayesian and anti-Bayesian views.Author summaryThe main task of perceptual systems is to make truthful inferences about the environment. The sensory input to these systems is often astonishingly imprecise, which makes human perception prone to error. Nevertheless, numerous studies have reported that humans often perform as accurately as is possible given these sensory imprecisions. This suggests that the brain makes optimal use of the sensory input and computes without error. The validity of this claim has recently been questioned for two reasons. First, it has been argued that a lot of the evidence for optimality comes from studies that used overly flexible models. Second, optimality in human perception is implausible due to limitations inherent to neural systems. In this study, we reconsider optimality in a standard visual perception task by devising a research method that addresses both concerns. In contrast to previous studies, we find clear indications of suboptimalities. Our data are best explained by a model that is based on the optimal decision strategy, but with imperfections in its execution.

The article describes the learning outcomes that should have veterinary students (master’s degree) after the Latin language course. This issue is relevant for domestic education because of the need to revise and redesigned outdated positions and transform the results in harmony with European curricula. In particular, this study is based on the approach presented in the Tuning Project (Tuning Educational Structures in Europe), considering learning outcomes as some statements of what a learner is expected to know, understand and be able to demonstrate after completion of a process of learning. They are expressed in terms of the level of competence to be obtained by the student. The purpose of the article is to describe outcomes of veterinary students in studying the main topics of the Latin language course aimed to introduce students to basics of the Latin language, to help acquire practical skills in using professional Latin terminology in educational, scientific and professional activities, to teach Latin terminology used in veterinary medicine and general biological sciences – botany, zoology and chemistry. So the main task is to form the professional terminological competence. As a result, learning outcomes after studying phonetic and grammatical topics, as well as special topics provided for by the curriculum are given in the article.

The sixth Relating Systems Thinking and Design Symposium (RSD6 2017) was held at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design in Norway in October 2017. The central theme of the symposium was “Environment, Economy, Democracy: Flourishing Together”, and called for contributions on democratic participation and policy innovation, sustainable business innovation, flourishing communities, and related systems-thinking-oriented approaches to architecture, settlements and the built environment. A wide range of contributions addressed themes, such as social impact in flourishing and change programs, health and population wellness, ecological design and bioregion development, human-scaled and regional economies, related sociotechnical and technological systems, etc. Yet, while the five earlier symposia did receive a number of papers that were focused on architecture and urban design, RSD6 was the first RSD symposium with a dedicated paper session on architecture and urban design. This special issue of Formakademisk collects together five of the papers that focus on architecture and urban design from a linked systems-thinking and design-thinking perspective. Each article pursues a distinct theme concerning the development of the profession, performance-oriented architecture and urban design, the role of exterior space in rethinking the architectural envelope, and questions of participation and community building. This breadth of themes in the selected articles indicates the increasingly deep impact of systems-thinking in the fields of architecture and urban design.
