Design and Contestation in the Jewish Settlement of Hebron, 1967–87

In Design and Contestation in the Jewish Settlement of Hebron, 1967–87, Noam Shoked explores how this settlement, built on lands Israel captured from Jordan in the Six-Day War of 1967, became a site of both collaboration and confrontation among architects, settlers, and government officials. Working for the government, architects at first sought to mitigate the ambitions of the settlers, but their plans were undermined by unexpected actors, such as amateur archaeologists and volunteer architects, who commandeered their designs. Unearthing the architectural history of the settlement, this article questions the received history of settlement design as the outcome of military strategy and points to the unanticipated ways in which Hebron's religious settlers drew on mainstream architectural culture to fashion their identities.

The Effect of Sungai Bilu’s Riverside Design to the Physical Characteristics of the Riverside Architectural Spatial Identities in Banjarmasin

The growth of population, the urbanization phenomenon, andeconomy factor raise the amount of riverside settlement in Banjarmasin. Theincrease of the riverside settlement also raises an equal amount of problemssuch as the slum existence, reducing the river width-space, and architecturalidentity. To solve this problem, the government was beginning to design theriverside settlement.
