This is an interdisciplinary analysis of Gilles Deleuze's philosophy and contemporary architecture. The objective of the survey was to determine the level of awareness among school and university teachers. The employment of Deleuze at the two extremities of a crucial architectural debate at the core of mainstream practice and as a fundamental source of secondary approaches to design and research has generated a significant body of literature on the subject's significance in architecture. Characterize. Identify this current reluctance as a repetition of earlier design reductions for a product or process, and construct a new path. This article aims to provide an overview of aesthetic studies in architecture, urban design, and the environment. Using new philosophical perspectives and interculturality principles, the study examines the past twelve years as a period of considerable research into the abovementioned challenges. During this period, architectural aesthetics research appears to have evolved into increasingly complex transdisciplinary fields, generating new theoretical concepts and enhancing creative practice procedures.

As globalization has taken root in the past decade, the circumstances within which architects work have changed dramatically. But a correlative transformation of our interpretative tools for understanding Spanish contemporary architecture has not taken place. Take for instance the traditional historiographical categorization of architectural production through its identification with political units. The old question of which political unit is more appropriate (Spanish, Basque, Catalonian, etc.) appears less meaningful in light of the fact that political boundaries no longer coincide neatly with the territories that are brought into relation through the production of buildings (global financial markets, telecommunication systems, transportation infrastructure, and international social networks). ; La historiografía suele categorizar a la arquitectura acudiendo a periodos cronológicos, ámbitos políticos, geográficos, e incluso climáticos, centrándose en arquitectos concretos o en grupos auto-seleccionados, afiliaciones mutuas, etc. Es decir, el enfoque de estudio suele ser monográfico, no necesariamente el mejor modo de categorizar la historia de las ideas arquitectónicas. El presente artículo desarrolla la idea de un nuevo enfoque poligráfico que tenga en cuenta límites menos cerrados, inter-generacionales y de múltiples capas de significados.

Introduction. The article is devoted to the characterization and substantiation of the basic principles and priority areas of the foreign policy activity of the Russian Federation in the context of the transformation of the modern system of international relations. Scenario approaches to the development of the Russian state and its functional role in the context of increased conflict potential between countries of Western and non-Western civilizations that are most frequently articulated within the political science discourse are interpreted. The study's relevance stems from the need to reconsider the dominant grounds for restructuring the contemporary world order, which lacks security and stability, while compromising the development interests of most states and societies at national, regional, and global levels. Methods and materials. The authors rely on the conceptual statements of the political organization of the contemporary world, developed by M.M. Lebedeva within the framework of a system approach. In identifying the sources of global turbulence experienced by the current system of international relations, the theoretical constructions by I. Wallerstein, S. Huntington, G. Kissinger, and O.V. Gaman-Golutvina were used. The elucidation of the functional specifics of Russia as a civilization state in the system of the world order of the past and present is based on a civilizational approach. The empirical base of the article was the normative and legal documents of the Russian Federation and the results of surveys conducted by leading centers: VCIOM, FOM, and Levada Center (this organization is included in the unified register of individuals and organizations recognized as foreign agents in the Russian Federation). Analysis and results. In the course of the study, the dominant factors that contribute to the radicalization of the conflict potential of the existing system of international relations were revealed and interpreted. The relationship between the escalation of the conflict between the Western bloc countries and Russia, the multifaceted objectification of Russophobia in all spheres of life, and the strategic vectors of Russia's foreign policy formulated in The Concept of the Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation (2023) is traced. At the same time, attention is focused not only on the principles of the new Russian statehood and the place of the Russian Federation in the contemporary world but also on the historical continuity of Russia as a civilization state. Authors' contribution. S.A. Pankratov developed the theoretical basis of the study, analyzed the dominant trends in the transformation of the modern system of international relations, and carried out the general scientific editing of the article. E.V. Klinshans summarized and analyzed the empirical data related to the priorities of the implementation of the foreign policy of the Russian Federation and formulated the main conclusions of the work.

Within the whole town scale, the heritage objects of Vilnius contemporary architecture represent a relatively small (40 out of more then 2,500), but rather significant – due to their typological composition (most important public objects and districts of the city) and geographical location (centers and sub-centers) - group of buildings highly influencing the image of the capital city. The group encompasses the town-planning objects (two residential districts, students' campus in Saulėtekis Ave, the New Town Center and complex of the Parliament buildings), architecture objects (15 public use buildings, 3 public interiors and 6 apartment houses), as well as historical objects (1 bridge, 1 public use and 1 residential buildings). The group of protected heritage objects was mostly developed during the occupation period, in the 1980-ies, according to the legislation of the time, prevalent political and artistic trends, as well as conditions of the planned economy and state (public) ownership. Following the essential transformations in the socio-cultural context, this group has been failed to reevaluate in a systemic way, without any new structure and conservation concept being formed in compliance with the new conditions. This has inflicted some damage to expression of the public image of the city and understanding of its values, needless to say that highly valuable buildings have been just left to fade away. Considering that it is highly relevant to maintain the most valuable architectural objects of the second half of the 20th century for future generations, it is essential to perform a physical status and use monitoring of heritage objects of contemporary architecture, update the data of heritage stocktaking, identify the boundaries of authorship rights (copyright) and real estate cultural heritage protection, estimate values of the protected objects, reconsider the ways of management and coordinate the processes of document revision and building renovation/ transformation. Santrauka Šiandieninėje Lietuvoje vykstantis sovietinių metų modernizmo architektūros paveldo objektų apsaugos procesas ir taikomos priemonės straipsnyje nagrinėjami remiantis Vilniaus miesto pavyzdžiu. Analizuojami po 1961 m., t. y. formalaus amžiaus cenzo neatitinkantys, Vilniuje įgyvendinti architektūrinio ir urbanistinio vertingųjų savybių pobūdžio nekilnojamojo kultūros paveldo objektai ir vietovės. Tokių kūrinių Kultūros vertybių registre įvairiais skaičiavimais yra apie 40. Ši grupė XX a. II-ojoje pusėje formuota kaip raiškiai atspindinti laikotarpio architektūrinės kūrybos tendencijas bei tuometes politines nuostatas, tačiau po 1990 m. iš esmės nerevizuota, šiandien dėl pakitusių sociokultūrinių ir ekonominių sąlygų praranda turėtą artikuliaciją. Tai lėmė ir skirtingą objektų fizinę būklę. Straipsnyje siekiama atskleisti aktualiausias problemas, susijusias su kūrinių saugojimu, su įvykusiais objektų ir vietovių pakitimais. Svarstomos galimos tolesnės saugojimo kryptys, būdai. Bandoma formuluoti svarbius konceptualiuosius ir vertybinius klausimus, autoriaus manymu, būtinus kelti platesnių profesinių ir mokslinių diskusijų lygmeniu.

Colored glass in the form of stained-glass windows has been used to decorate buildings for over a thousand years. Due to various late-twentieth-century technological achievements, this material allows for a broad spectrum of design solutions. Glass can be used both in contemporary and historical buildings. This paper presents an analysis of the work of Tomasz Urbanowicz, an artist who works with glass, and its objective is to present not only the body of work of this artist but also the means of using colored glass in creating new values in architecture. The work is based on a study of the literature that covers the contemporary application of colored glass, on-site analysis of projects, and a series of interviews with the artist before, during, and after project completion, as well as the authors' personal experience in the matter. One of the main research methods used was an analysis of the artist's stance, as to him, the very process of pursuing creative inspiration is a fundamental procedure. Glassworks by Urbanowicz were displayed at the EXPO 2000 in Hanover (Germany), the EXPO 2005 in Aichi (Japan), and the EXPO 2008 in Saragossa (Spain). The United Earth glass sphere has been decorating the agora of the European Parliament building in Strasbourg (France) since 2004. In the paper, the artist's projects are presented in two groups: The first includes solutions that employ monochromatic color schemes, whereas in the second, color has been used to create a strong contrast. The analysis presented includes interventions in historical buildings under heritage conservation, but also compositions from architectural glass in newly built buildings and that reference place-based history. Both the initial vision and the final effect of the glass architectural compositions are site-specific. The analysis of these differences and how the artist works allowed us to formulate a scheme of how he operates. Urbanowicz's glass interventions affect the quality of the spaces they create and highlight their existing or expected features. The influence of the works can either play a primary and dominant role in relation with the surrounding space or be a secondary and delicate addition. Applied color may have different functions, from highlighting specific aspects of a building to introducing symbolic or direct reference. In many projects, color works as a source of a building interior's atmosphere. The artistic interventions in historic spaces emphasize their features without disrupting pre-existing authenticity, whereas contemporary projects with no historic reference offer a wide variety of color applications that focus on the function and form of architecture, landscape, or surroundings.

Governance architecture is a major source of research to define the principles that can guide the design of a new sustainable contemporary architecture. Traditional architecture and its methods and strategies are somewhat undervalued and often not used in the new architecture. The main objective of the project versus (funded by the European Union, Culture Programme 2007-2013) has therefore been to know and analyse the governance architecture in order to draw its fundamental lessons and principles and explore new ways to integrate these principles into contemporary sustainable construction. In addition, the research project aims to promote European intercultural dialogue, through the establishment of a network of experts and institutions working in this field, with an established research plan and a series of relations and communication strategies. The project has been developed by 5 partners, universities from 4 countries: Escola Superior Gallaecia (Portugal) as project leader, Polytechnic University of Valencia (Spain), CRAterre -Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Grenoble (France), Università degli Studi di Firenze (Italy), and Università degli Studi di Cagliari (Italy). The research project has also involved 6 institutions from 5 countries (Sweden, UK, Czech Republic, Slovenia and Cyprus) and institutional support from 3 international entities: ICOMOS- CIAV (International Scientific Committee for Government Architecture), ICOMOS- ISCEAH (International Scientific Committee on Earth Architectural Heritage) and the European Network for Earth Building.

This study focused on spatial analysis to identify the changes in adaptability over the last five decades. The features influencing adaptability were selected from the reference study. An appropriate method was used to analyse these features through spatial analysis. Six distinctive typologies of rural houses were selected from six regions. Unlike the traditional houses, the contemporary houses in the same area reflected a different character. Urban houses built since the early and mid-20th century were compared with contemporary houses. After analysing the openness, generality, flexibility, depth, typicality, construction technique, involvement of end-users, and the feedback from the inhabitants, the study identified a significant decrease in contemporary houses' adaptability. Spatial analysis was used to quantify the different features and compare between traditional and contemporary houses. Though the adaptability had been reduced over time, the latest houses started to achieve better flexibility in some features due to government policy and implementation of statutory building regulations. Further recommendations were provided to enhance the residential architecture's adaptability in future. The study samples were selected from different regions of Bangladesh. Still, the result and policy recommendations can be helpful for other countries, especially with high population density and a developing economy.

The paper will address George Kubler's Portuguese Plain Architecture [PPA] (1972) and its effect in Portuguese architectural practice. Kubler's philosophy of art history implied that closed sequences of objects could be opened by several reasons. Thus, it will be argued that there is an effect upon Portuguese architecture post 1974, that is apparent by the reemergence of some of the form classes treated by Kubler. This was mostly achieved through the popularity of Kubler's book within architectural practice, scholarship and moreover by the establishment of the term "Plain Architecture" in portuguese architectural vocabulary. Plain Architecture of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries shared some qualities with the architecture to be built in post‑revolutionary Portugal, most importantly the effect that could be achieved with low budget buildings that were responding to a situation of crisis, and simultaneously exhaled aristocratic sparsity. The connection of PPA with the ideological attributes of early modernism and the political context of the time catalysed the reemergence of a new order of Portuguese Plain that resonates still in contemporary architecture. ; Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT), Fundação Millennium bcp

Focusing on the non-Western context and case studies, this book explores theories of interdisciplinary architectural thinking and the construction of urban memory in Chinese cities, with an emphasis on contemporary architecture and the diversity of agencies.

In the first decade of the millennium, the need for the reconsideration of the concept of value has intensified. The intention that had already been expressed in the value approach of modern architecture required the defining of the relationship to historicity in the approach of the architectural and art theorists at the beginning of the 20th century. [13] This imagined the relationship of old and new through a heritage that can be excavated from the deep layers of culture and denied the continuity in respect of the form. The major social and political changes occurring in the 20th century virtually forced the definition of the concept of "value". Carthas closely related to the fields of monument protection ascertained the paraphrase of definitions and the basic requirements of an ethic-expectable creative behaviour. The heroic age of monument protection – being the 50s-70s both in international and domestic aspects – was followed by some decades when civil initiatives, developed and strengthened along the approach of the protection of cultural heritage, represented a broader social need. However, for the clarification of the concept of value, even today, there are only experiments – especially regarding monument protection that goes through an organizational transformation. Now, instead of individual historic value, heritage can be mentioned in a wider context; with official communications also emphasising the socially broader community value protection instead of authority protection.

Veränderung im Lauf der Zeit ist eine spezifische Kategorie der Landschaftsarchitektur bei ihrer Arbeit mit Freiräumen und organischen Materialien: Nachhaltigkeit, Identität, die Bewahrung und Entwicklung unserer natürlichen Umwelt und unseres gebauten Wohnumfeldes werden in und durch zeitliche Prozesse gestaltet. Was bedeutet dies für die konkrete Umsetzung in landschaftsarchitektonischen Konzepten und aktuellen Projekten? In Essays, Interviews und Darstellungen der besten realisierten Projekte aus den letzten Jahren nimmt "Zeiträume" eine Ortsbestimmung der Herausforderungen, Aufgaben und Leistungen der Landschaftsarchitektur vor. Das Buch erscheint anlässlich der Verleihung des Deutschen Landschaftsarchitektur-Preises im Jahr des 100-jährigen Bestehens des Bundes Deutscher Landschaftsarchitekten und des internationalen Symposiums "Stadt und Landschaft - Zukunftsszenarien" im September 2013
