Spatial Learning Landscape (Sll) In The Campus Of The Digital Age, Marwa Charkas Mar 2020

Spatial Learning Landscape (Sll) In The Campus Of The Digital Age, Marwa Charkas

Architecture and Planning Journal (APJ)

Values controlling campus articulation are mainly rooted in the 'Connectivity' value. Its interpretation exceeds just the physical connections inside the campus to the wider links between the academia and the society. The digital age has thoughtful impacts on the way that every aspect of the life is performing. The campus' shaping values have changed considerably and the connectivity came at the heart of these changes. The way the students are connected to each other's, to their tutors, and even to the place is replaced. In addition, this technological revolution has profoundly wedged the business domain, restructuring the linkage between academia …


Beauty For Ashes: Reflections On Aesthetic Experience And Suffering, Douglas Gilmour Feb 2020

Beauty For Ashes: Reflections On Aesthetic Experience And Suffering, Douglas Gilmour

Verbum Incarnatum: An Academic Journal of Social Justice

In this essay, I examine the relationship between aesthetic experience and suffering, and I specifically explore how and why the former can potentially serve to meliorate the severity of the latter. Of course, that art and beauty can provide a certain measure of comfort and healing to the afflicted is a universally acknowledged truth; however, the reasons why this should be so could be considered an equally universal mystery. “I feel we understand too little about the psychology of loss,” writes Arthur Danto, “to understand why the creation of beauty is so fitting a way of marking it.” By exploring …

Music Therapy As A Treatment For Female Adolescents With Childhood Abuse, Janice M. Dvorkin Psy.D, Acmt, Sierra Belmares

Verbum Incarnatum: An Academic Journal of Social Justice

This article describes the preference to using receptive music therapy as a modality for helping an adolescent who has PTSD from childhood abuses. Adolescence is a difficult period during the life span. The second stage of separation/individuation provides challenges to almost all adolescents. This article contains a description of the adolescent behaviors of someone who is experiencing the consequences of PTSD. Along with an explanation of why receptive music therapy is an effective therapy with this population is a case study.


Recording Studios Since 1970, Eliot Bates Feb 2020

Recording Studios Since 1970, Eliot Bates

Publications and Research

Like many other specialty, purpose-built spaces, we tend to think of recording studios in instrumental terms, meaning that the space is defined in relation to the nominal type of work that the space is instrumental towards. While audio recordings have been made in spaces since 1877, not all of these spaces tend to be regarded as recording studios, partly since so many recordings were made in environments designed for other types of work; indeed, much of the first seventy years of US and UK recorded music history transpired at radio stations, concert halls and lightly treated mixed-use commercial spaces (e.g. …

Sick Buildings, Poor Design And Public Heath, Dalia Shebl Said, Yasmin Shebl Said

Architecture and Planning Journal (APJ)

There is no doubt that there is a close relationship between health problems and housing conditions. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates in developing countries those 2 million early and unexpected deaths, with close to half occurring among children less than 5 years old die from indoor air pollution and bad housing. Housing is an important determinant of health, and substandard housing is a major public health issue. Designing and bad orientation of housing are found to have significant effects on poor respiratory health especially in children, and increase an infectious disease thereby putting them at higher risk …

Architectural Renovation Of Stadiums As A New Vision For Sustainability Case Study (Renovation Of Castelão Arena Stadium, Brazil & Soldier Field Stadium, Chicago), Sherif Khashaba, Ghada Rehan

Architecture and Planning Journal (APJ)

By reviewing the current situation of some existing stadium buildings, many stadiums are not applicable to sustainability requirements, with the absence of the required principles in this field, where sustainability is considered now as one of the important current trends. Rehabilitation of existing Buildings considers a crucial contributor to most sustainable development aspects. It is a starting point for the redevelopment which promotes social, economic and environmental aspects of sustainability. Both FIFA and UEFA support the need for sustainable stadiums. They set out some of the objectives which can achieve sustainability in stadiums. These objectives include efficient use of energy, …

Achieving Visual Comfort In University Educational Spaces:A Design Framework For Responsive Kinetic Skin, Fatima Belok, Mostafa Rabea, Mohamad Hanafi, Ibtihal Y. El-Bastawissi

Architecture and Planning Journal (APJ)

Achieving human comfort in a space is an architectural necessity. Feeling comfort is related to the sense organs network, such as the eyes, ears, nose, tactile sensors, heat sensors and brain. In fact, last few decades has witnessed the integration of many technologies and trends into the field of responsive architecture; among which kinetic architecture has been significant. Thus, the aim of this thesis is to achieve visual comfort in educational spaces in universities, while arguing that a responsive kinetic skin is to be an effective mean for achievement. That should help refreshing student and enhancing their educational spaces visually, …

A Proposed New Contemporary Vernacular Architecture As An Expression Of The Spirit Of Age-Design Principles: A Case Study Of Ajloun, Jordan, Mohannad Tarrad, Diana Abu-Baker

Architecture and Planning Journal (APJ)

The development in technology and economy has led to rapid changes in architectural products. This development has effects, not only on the modern countries, but also on the developing countries, which are historically and culturally rich. Jordan is one of them. This paper investigates vernacular architecture and its approaches as conservative and interpretative attitude to explore the definition of vernacular architecture in contemporary architecture in Jordan. This was achieved by analyzing the 'Royal Academy for Nature Conservation’ building, which has been designed by the architect, Ammar Khammash. Royal Academy for Nature Conservation project has been nominated for Aga Khan Award. …


Forward To Enhancing Informal Transportation Stations In Crowded Cities, Mary Felix, Mostafa Elhefnawi Jan 2020

Forward To Enhancing Informal Transportation Stations In Crowded Cities, Mary Felix, Mostafa Elhefnawi

Architecture and Planning Journal (APJ)

By observing the planning of developing countries, it is clear that there are several factors that affect the movements and behaviors of transportation. One of these behaviors is the appearance of informal transportation modes, which move along certain paths to fulfil citizens’ needs. The phenomenon of informal transportation modes appears due to a lack of formal transportation modes existing, or a weakness in planning that does not consider the users’ needs or community behavior. This paper focuses on the location of informal transportation stops, which affect transportation movements and traffic jams, by observing and documenting the location and facilities of …


Carbon Neutral Urban Spaces Under Climate Change Case Study: Renovation Of Sidi Gaber Neighborhood In Alexandria, Egypt, Abdel Aziz Farouk Mohamed Jan 2020

Carbon Neutral Urban Spaces Under Climate Change Case Study: Renovation Of Sidi Gaber Neighborhood In Alexandria, Egypt, Abdel Aziz Farouk Mohamed

Architecture and Planning Journal (APJ)

With growing pressure from the public on governments and organizations to address climate change, the term ‘carbon neutral’ has become increasingly used in recent years. Carbon neutral is an emerging definition that relates to measuring, reducing and offsetting carbon energy used by either a building or an organization as a whole. Buildings are a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions when they operated by fossil fuel energy resources. Sustainable urban development is essential issue to enhance the quality of life of city residents and to decrease the negative impact of conventional type of energy through using the renewable energy resources. …


The Impact Of Changes In Beirut Urban Patterns On The Microclimate: A Review Of Urban Policy And Building Regulations, Hiba Mohsen, Rokia Raslan, Ibtihal Y. El-Bastawissi Jan 2020

The Impact Of Changes In Beirut Urban Patterns On The Microclimate: A Review Of Urban Policy And Building Regulations, Hiba Mohsen, Rokia Raslan, Ibtihal Y. El-Bastawissi

Architecture and Planning Journal (APJ)

Previous studies conducted on Beirut have historically overlooked research in the field of urban microclimate. A better understanding of how Beirut urban development, including zoning and building regulations, has affected the current urban thermal climate is crucial in order to analyse how different factors have led to the structure of the city, including the quality of urban space and the degradation of its natural environment. Within the context of limited government capability to set out strategies for sustainable urban development, this paper examines the historical evolution of the Lebanese building regulations specifically in Beirut and investigates the impact of changes …

Health And Wellbeing Re-Visited; An Exploratory Study Towards A “Healthy & Wellbeing” University Campus, Hisham El-Arnaouty, Nader Azab, Osama Omar

Architecture and Planning Journal (APJ)

“Health and wellbeing”, buzzword of the era! Whether the term is revolutionizing the way people think about buildings or not is still under investigation. Nevertheless, it certainly explores how design, operations and behaviors within the places where we live, work, learn and play can be optimized to advance human health and wellbeing. Knowing that the term has the possibility of being applied to different scales and arenas, this research focuses on the scale of university campuses. Numerous studies have revealed that university campuses could play a substantial role in boosting the innovation within communities and reinforcing the mission of developing …

التراكيب اللغويّة بين معياريّة التراث والاستعمال المعاصر, Khalil Ajine

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

Language is a living organism that gets born, develops and multiplies. It is either meant to survive and regenerate whenever needed and necessitated, or to fall into inertia and stagnancy, and then to perish and evanesce. Undoubtedly, this is all directly linked to the ability of its speakers, and to their constant quest to vividly express their culture, thoughts, behaviors, beliefs and other life matters, fortifying, thus, their existence and upholding their presence in this world. The Arabic language has been and continues to be the language that refuses to age, and declines to stand still, unless this pleases its …

رؤية الواقع من خلال الإبداع الأسطوري في الشرق القديم, Samir Itani

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

Myth played a principal role in old agricultural and pre-agricultural societies. The mythical thought has developed throughout the years but we got only the last versions of texts that have been recorded after being developed, though we approximately received their final version. The myth is a literary text which authors were the temples priests at that time. Its role is to determine the origins of the community’s vision towards the existence and the contribution of the society in this vision based upon a metaphysical belief scope. Thus, the text should express human feelings towards its problems on its cultural part. …

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

Abi Hayyan and Al Zamakhshari creativity was based upon each one’s method in grammatical orientation and linguistic and rhetorical analysis. These constitute important elements of the research methodologies in sciences that were common within the Islamic community being in theology, jurisprudence principle, grammar and rhetoric etc. These two interpreters were special and different than other previous interpreters and they added new theories in this area. Islam expanded among other ancient civilizations and benefited from the Greek civilization that built all its opinions upon reason. Thus, it was important for Muslims to sharpen their minds and denude their explanations to support …

This research paper focuses on the creative and living situation of the political life of most prime ministers in Lebanon.

The president has the most authority in power while his prime minister holds full political responsibility. Prime minister Sami El Solh, showed his creativity by being member of the cabinet in two different presidential terms. His diaries in his presidential terms appeared in four different volumes though the main book was titled “Diaries of Sami El Solh”. Other books were titled “ Refer …

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

The theme of sustainable development today is a growing concern of society. It aims to reconcile objectives of respect for the environment, economic efficiency and social equity. Transposing and applying this new approach to economic development, which is more systemic and more transparent, requires innovation and creation. These two requirements will bring about new ideas being capable of arousing the interest of the inhabitants of the planet, involving them and pushing them to adopt new ideas, to demonstrate eco-responsible behavior, and be to be more ethical in this regard. Humor in advertising for sustainable development is increasingly seen as a …

Le Roi De Kahel Et Le Terroriste Noir De Monenembo: Une Reecriture Postcoloniale De L’Histoire, Meriem Zeharaoui

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

The historical evolution of the African continent was not smooth; the region experienced many upheavals including two powerful traumas that are slavery and colonialism. It is therefore not surprising that African writers, who are mainly inspired by the world around them, revisit History to write their novels. Among them, the Guinean writer Tierno Monénembo. The writer sheds the light on the history that has painfully shaken his continent, West Africa more precisely. His novels translate the almost obsessive concern to narrate the story of the African continent. We propose to study two of his novels: The king of Kahel (2008) …

Profession Du Pere, Un Reel Deraisonnable, Soumaya Al Jarrah

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

The current French literature is experiencing a tremendous renewal in all areas. At the beginning of the 21st century we are witnessing a great tendency of writing about oneself. This has created novel forms such as autofiction. The term is invented by Serge Doubrovsky in 1977. It is presented as a new version of the autobiography which takes as its subject the individual story of the subject of writing. There is a certain permeability between autobiography and autofiction. It is the fictional side of narrated events that differentiates between the two genres. Sorj Chalandon's novel 'Profession of the Father' (winner …

Creation Et Procreation Dans Le Roman Lait Noir D’Elif Shafak, Nadia Naboulsi Iskandarani

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

Black Milk, is the title of a book by Elif Shafak, the Turkish writer, and it deals with the complexity of female identity and the difficulty encountered in reconciling different aspects of this identity. The writer expresses these identities in an allegorical way, manifested in the chorus of inner voices of midget women representing the different aspects of this identity. They introduce themselves alternately into the life of the narrator, assailing her in order to orientate her towards the determined role of Woman. The theme mainly focuses on the “incompatibility” between motherhood and literary creation. The problematic of the topic …

Auto-Bio-Fiction La Litterature A La Poursuite Du Reel Dans Lambeaux, De Charles Juliet, Carole Auroy

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

Separated at the age of three months from his sick mother following a depression and attempted suicide, Charles Juliet only discovered her existence at her funerals seven years later. It took him many more years to relate the tragedy experienced by this woman to the policy of extermination which, under the occupation, caused the death by starvation in psychiatric institutions. Between 1983 and 1995, the novel was accompanied by a hard biographical investigation; the writer attempted to uncover the mystery of his own depths and the origins of his own story: he came out enlightened on the feeling of guilt …

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

One of the most important examples of the connection between fiction and the real world is the writings about office and work, a subject of increasing interest to writers who wish to shed light on the conditions of work in the modern century. This is why we chose to study Bonita Mersiades’s "office novel" Whatever it takes, published in January 2018, and that we translated recently to French.

La Créativité Linguistique Des Ados Entre Évolution Et/Ou Régression De La Langue, Abdelfettah Nasser Idrissi

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

Today's young people use a language that we sometimes find strange. It is about a language which, for them, has a meaning, since they understand it and are themselves understood. It is a language that is both forged and coded, borrowed, using neologism and abbreviation, etc. This linguistic creativity reflects the interest of young people in language practices. Or what impact is there on the language? are we in the presence of a degradation of the language and its regression, or we are rather witnessing its evolution and /or revolution since some words, by the frequency of use, become attested …


Ideologie Et Metamorphose De La Langue, Mohammed Al Khatib Jan 2020

Ideologie Et Metamorphose De La Langue, Mohammed Al Khatib

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

Language, like any object in this world, is susceptible to various changes. These changes, visible or invisible, can be due to a natural development, or to unexpected external reasons. The language is also exposed to a natural and continuous mutation, and to a mutation due in general to external reasons. The metamorphosis that the language undergoes can be studied from three points of view: the close relationship between language and identity; the ideological side in the historical evolution of the language; graphic and phonic mutation in the language. Who says "language" says "identity" because these two elements constitute an important …
