This book develops a grammar for the basic elements in the art of building: the floor, the wall and the roof. Drawing on examples from the history of architecture, a range of archetypes connected to these basic elements are discussed. The book explores how these architectural archetypes affect us psychologically, with a particular emphasis on the relationship between archetypes and the dynamic interactions between inside and outside space. The book shows how our experiences of architecture are tied in with our bodily experiences of archetypes as carriers of specific meanings, which in turn influences our experiences of the relationship between inside and outside. The aim of the book is design-oriented. With more accurate knowledge of the archetypes and their variations, schematic post-war architecture can be replaced without necessarily resorting to copying motifs from the past.

In hoeverre zijn de ervaringen van Ayaan Hirsi Ali representatief voor andere moslimvrouwen die naar het westen immigreren en die zich vanuit hun hermetisch gesloten traditionele moslimcultuur geconfronteerd zien met de open cultuur in het Westen. In welke mate botsen de islamitische idealen met westerse idealen? Ervaren zij dit als een botsing van beschavingen? In dit autobiografische boek tracht Hirsi Ali een antwoord te formuleren op deze vragen.

Though now a largely forgotten holiday in the United States, May Day was founded here in 1886 by an energized labor movement as a part of its struggle for the eight-hour day. In ensuing years, May Day took on new meaning, and by the early 1900s had become an annual rallying point for anarchists, socialists, and communists around the world. Yet American workers and radicals also used May Day to advance alternative definitions of what it meant to be an American and what America should be as a nation. Mining contemporary newspapers, party and union records, oral histories, photographs, and rare f

Dans le patrimoine artistique médiéval, les plafonds peints ont une place méconnue et pourtant essentielle. Ce volume qui rassemble les actes du colloque tenu à Capestang, Narbonne et Lagrasse les 21, 22 et 23 février 2008, inaugure une nouvelle étape de leur connaissance. L'étude des techniques, souvent savantes et complexes, de construction et d'assemblage des bois y rencontre l'analyse d'un corpus d'images d'une étonnante richesse thématique et chromatique. Des peintres de grand talent côtoient des imagiers plus rustiques. Dans ce domaine d'études encore peu parcouru, les codes iconographiques sont, pour une bonne part, à découvrir. Comprendre les programmes choisis par chaque commanditaire, les comparer entre eux, c'est à quoi se consacre ce volume composé d'une centaine d'images.

Vibro compaction and vibro stone columns are the two dynamic methods of soil improvement most commonly used worldwide. These methods have been developed over almost eighty years and are now of unrivalled importance as modern foundation measures. Vibro compaction works on granular soils by densification, and vibro stone columns are used to displace and reinforce fine-grained and cohesive soils by introducing inert material. This second edition includes also a chapter on vibro concrete columns constructed with almost identical depth vibrators. These small diameter concrete piles are increasingly used as ground improvement methods for moderately loaded large spread foundations, although the original soil characteristics are only marginally improved. This practical guide for professional geotechnical engineers and graduate students systematically covers the theoretical basis and design principles behind the methods, the equipment used during their execution, and state of the art procedures for quality assurance and data acquisition. All the chapters are updated in line with recent developments and improvements in the methods and equipment. Fresh case studies from around the world illustrate the wide range of possible applications. The book concludes with variations to methods, evaluates the economic and environmental benefits of the methods, and gives contractual guidance.
