Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysis

Maya America is pleased to publish this new Spanish-language novel by Gaspar Pedro González. Accepting an original and timely work from a leading Guatemalan intellectual and novelist would be easy enough, and Gaspar’s new novel is at once insightful and provocative. Rather than presenting his characters as villains or victims, the author leaves much up to the imaginations and sentiments of the reader to interpret and make sense of the thoughts and decisions of the main characters. "The Migrant Maya", ultimately uncovers some of the consequences of leaving home that go beyond the risks of jail and deportation, such as …

ضبط التأثير الإشعاعى لمواد البناء المستخدمة فى مصر, Yasser Al Sayed

Architecture and Planning Journal (APJ)

إن عالمنا الذى نعيش فيه عالم نشط إشعاعياً منذ الأزل، حيث توجد الإشعاعات فى كل جزء من حياتنا، وقد تحدث بطريقة طبيعية فى الصخور والأتربة المكونة لكوكبنا وفى البحار والمحيطات ويمكن أن تصل إلينا من الإشعاعات القادمة من الفضاء المحيط بنا، وكذلك يمكن أن تتواجد فى الماء الذى نشربه أو مواد البناء المكونة لبيوتنا، وليس هناك من مكان على سطح الأرض يخلو تماماً من النشاط الإشعاعى الطبيعى، وأيضاً قد تحدث الإشعاعات أنتجها الإنسان مثل الأشعة السينية X-Rays، ومحطات توليد الكهرباء بالطاقة الذرية، وفى كاشفات الدخان والحرارة. وكما أن النظائر المُشعة متواجدة منذ الأزل فى البيئة (الهواء والماء والتراب)، فهى مُتواجدة …

Architecture and Planning Journal (APJ)

لقد ارتبط الإنسان ببيئته الطبيعية والمعمارية، حيث وعبر الفترات التاريخية المتعاقبة لجأ خلالها إلى تسخير واستغلال مواد البناء التي توفرها البيئة من اجل إنشاء وبناء التكوينات المعمارية والمباني سواء من حيث المواد والتصميم المعماري الملائم لوظيفة تلك المنشات من حيث توزيع وتوجيه الفتحات والمداخل والمرافق بحيث تتلاءم مع المتطلبات البيئية والمعمارية لتلك المنشات. هذه الدراسة تبحث في الكيفية والطريقة التي تم بها توظيف مادة البناء(حجر البازلت ) في مباني مدينة أم الجمال الأثرية وعلى مر العصور. لقد نشأت مدينة أم الجمال الأثرية وتطورت عبر الحقب التاريخية المختلفة من العصر النبطي، الروماني، البيزنطي ومن ثم العصور الإسلامية وحتى العصر العثماني المتأخر، …

Architecture and Planning Journal (APJ)

مع نهاية القرن العشرين وأوائل القرن الواحد والعشرين حدث تحول في المفاهيم الحاكمة للعمارة على مستوى العالم. فنتيجة للتدهور الذي طرأ على البيئة العالمية والوعي بالمسئولية الدولية عن ذلك،اتجهت المفاهيم المعمارية إلى الطبيعة كمصدر جبري على الاحترام على المستوى المحيطي والمحلي والعولمي. وقد صاحب هذا الفكر تطور إلكتروني حول العالم إلى غرفة واحدة ووسع إمكانات الاتصالات الكونية السمعية والبصرية.وقد نتج عن ذلك دورة معمارية بيئية جديدة. وتفترض الورقة البحثية أن تغلب الفكر البيئي والاهتمام الكبير بقضايا عالمية مثل التغير المناخي والحفاظ على الطاقة والاعتماد على الطاقات المتجددة ، واستعارة بعض الأشكال البيئية التي ليس لها مدلول محلى ، بالإضافة إلى …

Architecture and Planning Journal (APJ)

تعتبر المسطحات الخضراء والفراغات العمرانية المفتوحة من العناصر الحيوية في مستويات التخطيط العمراني لما لها من قيمة جمالية وإقتصادية، فهي المتنفس العمراني الحضري، كما يمثل الغطاء النباتي عنصرا هاما من عناصر الحياة الفطرية وتحقيق التوازن البيئي، وتعانى مدينة القاهرة قصورا شديدا في نسبة المسطحات الخضراء داخل تكوين الأحياء السكنية، وقلة المساحات الفضاء التي يمكن أن تتحول لهذا الاستخدام، فضلا عن أن المسطحات الضئيلة الموجودة منها لم تحدث الأثر المرغوب فيه سواء بيئيا أو إجتماعيا مما يظهر بشكل واضح بالمناطق السكنية القديمة ذات القيمة والتي تتصف بكثافة سكانية عالية وندرة في المسطحات الخضراء والفراغات العمرانية المفتوحة لممارسة الأنشطة الترفيهية والإجتماعية المختلفة، …

Improving The Design Quality Of Housing Buildings, Ehab Nasr Elden Ahmed

Architecture and Planning Journal (APJ)

Design quality is essential to improve the standards of living and is progressively being accepted as critical to successful new housing developments. A better design quality provides attractive and sensitively planned homes that form communities, and assists in creating a healthier and advanced fellowship. As new housing growth in Egypt has missed reaching the universal rules and guidelines of design quality, this research reviews several experiences of foreign offices and governmental programs that deal with amending the design character of housing buildings. Using these Guidelines enables commissioning high performance housing facilities that improve the general standards of a better design …

We Do Not Have Borders: Greater Somalia And The Predicaments Of Belonging In Kenya, Bashir Haji Aug 2020

We Do Not Have Borders: Greater Somalia And The Predicaments Of Belonging In Kenya, Bashir Haji

The Journal of Social Encounters

Karen Weitzberg opens her book with a proverb from the early Somali independence era: “wherever the camel goes, that is Somalia.” This quote sets the precedence for the book illustrating Somalis’ rocky relationship with borders. Originally, Somalis were nomadic pastoralists that frequently moved around, crossing borders. However, after many African countries gained independence, new border lines were drawn up. As a result of this new reality, many Somali clans were forced to claim their territorial land and were also shut out from other regions, thereby impacting their way of life. Weitzberg, a Stanford graduate with a background in African and …
