Base Design

The (Grid) is one of the most important fundamentals in architectural design and it was adopted from ancient civilizations to contemporary architecture, thus enhancing the creation of products characterized by system, harmony, unity and integration,. Methods and basis of adoption the (Grid) for the twenty-first century have been varied for the diversity of products and architectural trends with correspondence to technology impact in general. The research problem was articulated as: the lack of comprehensive framework to the nature of the adoption of the (Grid) as a design base in contemporary architecture, the goal of research is to introduce the most comprehensive and clear knowledge of (Grid) role in the process of architectural design and to identify the nature and specificity of its adoption as a conceptual basis in contemporary architecture. The research was based on a descriptive and analytical approach to a number of specialized and other backup studies aiming to identify the main terms that define the knowledge related to the (Grid) as a design base in contemporary architecture and applying this framework to selected samples of Zaha Hadid projects as one of the contemporary architecture pioneers. The research hypothesized that Zaha adopted a variety of (Grid) forms to generate and organize architectural configurations according to multiple structural principles. The research reached to a set of theoretical conclusions related to the methods and principles of the use of the (Grid) at varying levels, as well as the conclusions related to the selected case study.

The contemporary ideas were characterized by the abundance and diversity of their knowledge, human and conceptual production, the strategy is both a general and a detailed framework covering all design disciplines both inside and outside the field of architecture. From here, many of these terraces emerged from fields outside the field of architecture, but soon moved to form an important nerve within the field of architecture. Hence the need to define a more comprehensive framework for studying one of the concepts that can frame the framework, namely the concept of "Alliteration", and its adoption as an architectural design strategy aimed at giving the resulting form a feature of rhetoric. So the research highlighted the "scientific need to clarify knowledge about the concept of alliteration as a strategy in the design process". The aim of the research is to "clarify the knowledge about the concept of alliteration as a strategy in the design process and to reveal its mechanisms through which it can reach a contemporary architectural form characterized by rhetoric. The research approach represents several procedures to achieve the goal of research and solving the problem of research through the construction of a theoretical framework and the development of the main and secondary vocabulary after the introduction of previous cognitive studies to the selection of samples for application, then discuss, analyze the results and conclusions. Which explained that the strategy of the alliteration enables the reading of the text of the architect within the objectives of both the designer and the recipient of the product, by combining similar systems in form and content, and the integration of properties, reducing the number of words and expand their participation of recipients as a result of reliance on subjective references within the field of architecture.

The nature of architectural design in the early twenty-first century is considered through a comparison between the author's recent design for a university hostel and earlier examples of the genre.This project was designed by a Lecturer in Architecture at Cambridge for one of its Colleges. It is occupied by undergraduates, some of them architecture students, and during its construction it was used as a teaching case study. The design is somewhat ‘didactic’ in nature, attempting to be quite explicit in its thematic and formal procedures; stylistically, it can be seen as an examination of the possibilities inherent in a late modernist tradition. For this reason, and because of its privileged site and budget, it offers an opportunity for some reflections on architectural composition at the beginning of the twenty-first century, in relation to earlier traditions of formal manipulation.

This study aims to highlight the boundaries of a woman’s obedience to her husband in Islamic jurisprudence and discuss the method that should be followed by the spouses between whom there are juristic differences on certain issues, so that the juristic differences may not lead to marital disputes. The research problem is that Allah Almighty has made it an obligation upon a woman to obey her husband. However, He has prohibited a man or a woman in general to blindly obey his fellow man if he disobeys the commands of Allah. Therefore, what is the Islamic juristic ruling pertaining to a woman who is asked by her husband to carry out an order she believes is not juristically allowed, even if it is allowed in the eyes of her husband? Does she, in this case, comply with the will and order of her husband or follow what she believes to be juristically right? Does this affect the type and nature of the case? This research uses the inductive approach in gathering different juristic statements and cases, and an analytical approach in investigating those statements and cases. It uses critical approach in selecting the statements that are preponderant. Finally, the research concludes with several findings: man has no right to oblige his wife to comply with an order which is not recognized by the Sharīah especially if complying with it will cause her harm; a woman must obey her husband in carrying out a command that is obligatory upon her by the Sharīah and upright customs.

This study explored the utility of the learner autonomy concept in the Zimbabwean O Level English as a Second Language (ESL) classroom focusing on three Gweru urban high schools of the Midlands Province. The researchers intended to establish whether learner autonomy was a reality or just a myth in Zimbabwean classrooms. A qualitative multiple case study design was applied focusing on teaching strategies, availability of resources, challenges faced and ways of optimising it. Questionnaires and document analysis were used for data collection. The findings revealed that the concept did not manifest in explicit terms, the learners did not participate in decision making, and the teachers were not adequately prepared to administer autonomous processes with students. For it to be a reality, the Education Ministry is recommended to establish a comprehensive framework of how autonomous learning should be implemented. Teacher training should explicitly focus on how to develop autonomous learners. Teachers ought to be flexible enough to accommodate learners' contributions towards their learning.
