In this essay, the history of the Brussels architecture school La Cambre is sketched. It was established in 1928 under the guidance of Henry Van de Velde as an avant-garde elite school, but in the 1960s a certain academism emerged. This led to almost two decades of ideological and political battles, with Maurice Culot, Léon Krier and Robert Delevoy as the main protagonists. In 2011, La Cambre was integrated into the University of Brussels.

The tradition, from its antique strain, has considered that architecture needs to be thought out, in order to avoid the contingencies of the moment, which is most often the result of power ratios. The theory, which properly understands this requirement, must be accompanied by the architecture, which is understood as a logical practice ordered by the community in order to ensure its destiny. ; La tradition, depuis sa souche antique, a considéré que l'architecture exigeait d'être pensée, pour se soustraire à la contingence du moment qui, le plus souvent, est la résultante de rapports de force. La théorie, à bien comprendre cette exigence, se doit d'accompagner l'architecture, saisie comme pratique logique commandée par la collectivité pour assurer son destin.

[ES] The thesis in this article supports physiological and anthropological foundations against the sociological and aesthetic foundations of architecture based on conventional codes. The genesis of the architectural shape is legitimised as an extension of the body in the movement involving the drawing of a generator, imprecise, approximate, emotional, stirring. The difference between the design design and the representation or presentation design is argued to be the difference between the design design and the representation or presentation design using sources and concepts such as 'degree zero', 'matrix space', 'diagram', so often used with a degree of ambiguity or imprecision and without critical assessments. Once again, we reflect on the digital code, an abstract and conventional annotation code that conveys aesthetic information as opposed to the original manual drawing that refers to the body and architectural sensitivities Trachana, A.

PWC (2016) ; [EN] This paper proposes an architecture aiming at promoting the convergence of the physical and digital worlds, through CPS and IoT technologies, to accommodate more customized and higher quality products following Industry 4.0 concepts. The architecture combines concepts such as cyber-physical systems, decentralization, modularity and scalability aiming at responsive production. Combining these aspects with virtualization, contextualization, modeling and simulation capabilities it will enable self-adaptation, situational awareness and decentralized decision-making to answer dynamic market demands and support the design and reconfiguration of the manufacturing enterprise. The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union H2020 project C2 NET (FoF-01-2014) nr 636909.

287 297 153 ; S ; [EN] There are numerous passive strategies for reducing energy consumption in Spanish traditional vernacular architecture, depending on external conditions and also on the intended use of the interior of these constructions. In the case study analyzed, localized in an interior area of Spain, known as La Mancha, a set of vernacular buildings have been studied. Solar protection and solar gain, for example, are the key resources related to solar control. While cross ventilation, self-ventilation, or induced ventilation are related to the energy efficiency of the airflow. Other mechanisms identified are, for example, thermal insulation and thermal inertia of the materials. All these K-factors have been checked and parameterized in order to understand these vernacular strategies. Finally, thanks to a comparison of such resources, the study achieved a set of criteria for the use of these solutions in contemporary local architecture. The authors would like to thank the European Union framework 7th program for making this work possible via the LIMA project as well as to the following fellowships: The R&D FPI-UPV (P.A.I.D. program of the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia) and the FPU by the Spanish Ministerio de Educacion, Cultura y Deporte.

Architecture as musical metaphor If Stanley Kubrick's Shining (1980) is seen, it is clear that the large repeated design spaces are asombran and fear. The principle of CREDO (colour balanced rhythm direction in order), or the broader combination of compositional rules, which are several and often extend and rebound each other (they range from the laws of: axial and radial symmetries, balance law, mass composition law, uniformity of masses, and the Caucasus section, up to long enumerations, including, for example, plastic, equilibrium, harmony, weight, space, rhythm, proportion, etc., are not sufficient to explain correctly the aesthetic value of harmony. If we compare architecture with music (what we did, in the sense of historical symbology in our book: A Modern History of the XII-XVIII Siglas Architecture), we will see the weaknesses of the aesthetic approach to contemporary architecture, but its more intrinsic values, which are functionalism and rationalism. The contemporary architecture, in these two movements, which went back to school, and the paradigm of architectural design, hence urban, are accelerating. In other words, they do not escape, or are not extraneous to, the aesthetic (or aesthetic) attempt of the straight line of the building, by repeating the same motif, whether window, door, or balcony. Thus, we can clearly say that, like rap, it has a rhythm. But also, like rap, it has only one rhythm box without harmony. Unlike classical symphony, rap does not go so far as to create agreements that develop, except when it takes some riff of another genus, which replaces the meldic absence of which this genus is absolutely suffering. It is thus as extraneous to rap, the melsodium principle, as it is to the rationaliser-functionalist architecture. ; La arquitectura como metáfora musical Si se ve The Shining (1980) de Stanley Kubrick, es claro que los grandes espacios de diseño repetido asombran y dan miedo.

We consider the division of a territory into administrative districts responsible for providing a set of goods and services to residents who aresensitive to service congestion. We deduce the optimal architecture of public governance (i.e. the division of government into several levels, thedistribution of services among them, their number of jurisdictions and the size of their administrations), which depends on how citizens weigh theperformance capacity of administrations and the services they produce. We compare it to a decentralized organization where each jurisdiction is free to choose the size and scope of its administration. The resulting architecture generally involves more countries with fewer levels of administration than the optimal one. We use our results to estimate citizen preferences using U.S. data. We find that the country is divided into two zones ("Northeast & West" and "Midwest & South") whose estimated values are statistically different.

Research report, creation of a database on the work of French architects in Indochine between 1887 and 1914. ; Rapport de recherche, constitution d'une base de données sur le travail des architectes français en Indochine entre 1887 et 1914.

The aim of this research was to identify, gather, organise and update a collection of references useful for research on the history of the architecture and urban forms of the nine new French cities: Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, Marne-la-Vallée, Shanghai, Cergy-Pontoise, Villeneuve d'Ascq, Rives de l'Etang de Berre, Val-de-Reuil and L'Isle d'Abeau. The investigations, undertaken in the light of the existing bibliographies, made use of three investigation protocols: cross-checking of information accessible on various websites and computerised databases (Urbamet, Sudoc, Archires, Docthesis, etc.), on-site surveys for different academic places, and systematic examination of a body of journals interested in architectural and urban planning issues. The report consists of an introduction and three separate bibliographies, available in digital form (CDRom, Word files), with a total of almost 4500 references. 1- written sources (1965-2002). Approximately 1000 references to publications (books, summary work, studies, diagrams and reports, implementation files, legislative texts, etc.), broken down into two sections: general documents, documents by cities. 2- specialist journals (1945-2002). Approximately 3000 references to articles or folders of French periodicals, presented chronologically under 12 chapters. 3- education and research (1969-2002). 442 references of work carried out under the 2th and 3th university programmes, including traineeship reports, memories and end of study work (TPFE) of architectural schools and other institutions with an interest in urban areas ; L'objectif de cette recherche était de repérer, de réunir, d'organiser et de mettre à jour une collection de références utiles à la recherche sur l'histoire de l'architecture et des formes urbaines des neuf villes nouvelles françaises : Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, Marne-la-Vallée, Sénart, Cergy-Pontoise, Villeneuve d'Ascq, Rives de l'Etang de Berre, Val-de-Reuil et L'Isle d'Abeau.

The 15M movement was extended since its birth to the squares in Madrid and other cities in Spain through popular assemblies. These are the method and form of the policy exercise that 15M deploys in urban public space. Organised using a precise methodology, air assemblies constitute a rhythmic street occupancy exercise which puts not only speech but also the bodies of its participants at the forefront of their practice. In her street, the assemblies carry out the most genuine political gesture: the aeration of things that concern us. In this article we wonder about the political atmosphere brought to the city by the assemblies and we highlight two unique aspects: an outpatient architecture characterised by constant transit and concern for care practices. Our argument is that air assemblies implement a policy that is in abeyance and is characterised by its fragility and by making the same conditions visible. ; Peer reviewed ; The 15M movement was extended since its birth to the squares in Madrid and other cities in Spain through popular assemblies.

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.

154 170 61 ; S ; [EN] The Horizon 2020 MANGO project aims at exploring deeply heterogeneous accelerators for use in High-Performance Computing systems running multiple applications with different Quality of Service (QoS) levels. The main goal of the project is to exploit customization to adapt computing resources to reach the desired QoS. For this purpose, it explores different but interrelated mechanisms across the architecture and system software. In particular, in this paper we focus on the runtime resource management, the thermal management, and support provided for parallel programming, as well as introducing three applications on which the project foreground will be validated. This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 671668.

This Article explores the legal issues arising from the implementation of JI. After a brief comment on regulatory problems relating to climate change, Part I will examine the precedents in U.S. domestic law and look at occurrences of JI in other international instruments. Part II will explore the regime of JI in three steps. First, it will discuss the specificities of project-based JI, as opposed to quota-based JI, and see whether the FCCC itself provides for a first criterion on JI. Second, it shall elaborate on the criteria for "Activities Implemented Jointly" (AIJ) as adopted in 1995 at the first Conference of the FCCC Parties (COP 1) in Berlin. Third, it will show what steps were taken with respect to JI in 1997 at the third Conference of the Parties (COP 3) in Kyoto. Part III will analyze the legal practice under the Pilot Phase. JI presents many unresolved legal difficulties, especially with regard to agreements involving both state and non-state actors. Finally, Part IV will discuss two issues that may develop after the Pilot Phase: the problem of baselines and the need to provide domestic incentives for non-state actors.
