Abstract: Entrance, Vermont Marble Museum, Proctor, Vermont. We manipulate what nature creates; weathering defines and finishes both. (Photo by Frank Matero, n.d.)It's a material world. The paper or digital issue you are now reading is only possible through the complex assemblage of raw materials that have been grown, extracted, or synthesized, fabricated, and then designed into copy as print on paper or pixels on an LCD (liquid crystal display) that has been delivered through a real or virtual network. Each step and process involves people and machines in a chain far more complicated than the space available here to fill. Materials still matter yet in the worlds of architectural theory and practice, and especially in ... Read More PubDate: 2024-05-17T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: UQ St Lucia Campus Aerial Photograph. (Photo from Fryer Library, University of Queensland Photograph Collection, UQFL466, 1969)The challenges involved in managing the legacy of late modern buildings on university campuses exemplify the broader challenge of reconciling economic, social, environmental, and cultural values in the management of the greater built environment. In this respect campuses have the potential to operate as sites for experimentation and innovation in ecological design, as they have done in the field of urban design in previous decades. Contemporary campuses, like cities, demand environmental accountability in decision-making processes and design ethos, in both the production of new buildings ...

Abstract: At a reconstruction site in Bhaktapur, a mason kneads lime with water and surkhi (brick dust) with his feet. This method is similar to the traditional mixing of mud, which is also worked on site before use. (Photo by Vanicka Arora, January 2020)In the years that have followed the widespread devastation of the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake, built heritage has emerged as a key sector in the post-disaster recovery landscape of Nepal, receiving funding and expertise through both national and international sources.2 Most international attention has been directed toward reconstruction of built heritage in the Kathmandu Valley, which along with being the political and economic center of the country is also home to some of the ...

Abstract: Downstream view of the Salime dam under construction. (Photo by Juan Miguel Pando Barrero, Pando Archive, signature PAN-056589, IPCE, Ministerio de Cultura y Deporte, 1952)Modern autarky is a political economy model that pursues the self-sufficiency of a state through the intensive and optimized use of its own resources.1 During the first half of the twentieth century, several European fascist states dreamed at some point about achieving full autarky: Italy, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Greece, France, Portugal, and Spain pursued a model of autarkic economy with varying vigor and success.2 The Spanish case is particularly relevant because this period of pursuing self-sufficiency lasted for nearly two decades ...

Abstract: Along Anthon Schjøths and Geitmyrsveien Streets, now centrally located in Oslo as a result of the city's expansion, eleven rammed earth houses stand. While they blend in with their built neighbors, an attentive observer will notice the generous roof overhang and the short height of the free-standing walls, two signs that indicate the use of earth as construction material. (Photo by Katarina Kierulf, 2022)An astute observer wandering the streets north of St. Hanshaugen, a residential neighborhood in upper Oslo, might notice a small commemorative plaque mounted on a white house's wall that reads, "11 ARBEIDERSBOLIGER BYGD 1870–72 AV SOLTØRKET LEIRE SOM ET TEKNISK OG SOSIALT EKSPERIMENT"; simply translated, "11 worker ...

Abstract: Sir John Carling Building, Ottawa, prior to the demolition of the main building in 2014. The one-story cafeteria wing with its distinct vaulted roof was initially salvaged for a new use, but then it was also demolished in 2021. (Photo by Susan Ross, 2014)Given the massive quantities of waste generated from construction, renovation, and demolition (CRD) debris, materials reuse should be a bigger part of building conservation. This article considers this objective in the context of modern heritage, which is increasingly demolished in whole or in part. Although materials reuse should be more important in retrofit, adaptation, and other conservation work in existing buildings, the focus here is on the potential for ...

Abstract: Philopappou Hill Pathways. Athens, Greece, 1954–57. Architect: Dimitris Pikionis. (Photo by Miguel Guitart, n.d.)The homogenization of space debilitates the experience of being and erases the sense of place.The exhibition Modern Architecture: International Exhibition, curated by Philip Johnson and Henry-Russell Hitchcock at the Museum of Modern Art in 1932,2 reflected a time of active confrontation between the driving forces behind MoMA, figures such as the Rockefeller brothers and Lewis Mumford, who claimed for a new way to understand regionalism in what Liane Lefaivre has called "the regionalist rebellion."3 Positions favorable to regionalism were again confronted in the form of another exhibition at MoMA.4 "The ...
