PROJECTS FOR : ANHAI a critical hypothesis for preservation and transformation Manuela Raitano Luca Reale PROJECTS «Projects For:» is a book series dedicated to architectural design in international FOR : contexts. Looking at our own way of practicing architecture through the lens of “difference” can help magnify its identity, pointing out its most relevant characters and providing an appropriate ground for critical thinking. Creating designs – or reflecting on projects – conceived for “elsewhere” can, in our opinion, become a powerful tool to understand how to make architecture. The series wants to provide a space dedicated to this critical activity, where the pretext of a specific lo- cation around the globe can serve as the center of gravity for design-oriented considerations.

Megalithic Stone Beam Bridges of Ancient China Reach the Limits of Strength and Challenge Size Effect in Granite
Megalithic stone beam bridges of ancient China reach the limits of strength and challenge size effect in granite Ferdinando Bigoni1, Davide Bigoni1,*, Diego Misseroni1 and Dongdong Wang2 1 DICAM, University of Trento, via Mesiano 77, I-38123 Trento, Italy. 2 Civil Engineering Department, Xiamen University, Xiamen, China *Phone: +39 0461 282507; E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT In all ancient monuments stone beams and architraves have unsupported spans that seldom reach 7 m, while ordinary spans are usually much less. These structural elements were and still are believed to be prone to failure, so that several relieving systems (arches, chambers, gaps) were adopted through history to prevent collapse. The perception that stone beams could not exceed a certain span is coherent with the so-called size-effect theory of rock and concrete, which predicts that large elements are proportionally weaker than small ones. While the rest of the world started using architectural design to avoid these problems, in the Fujian region of China (near Xiamen) from the XI to the XII century megalithic stone beam bridges with spans of up to 21 m were being built. These bridges have resisted over the centuries. A spectacular example of these bridges, tending to disprove the size-effect theory and challenging all previous ancient constructions, is the Jiangdong bridge, of which only a part survives, but which should be restored, preserved, and declared human heritage monument. Keywords: Stone beam; granite strength, stone architrave, size effect. Introduction A limit of 7 m span for unsupported stone beams Stone beams for architraves, bridges and coverages were widely used by ancient civilizations but would only seldom reach spans of 7 m (Fig.1). -
Deciphering Chinese Deterrence Signalling in the New Era an Analytic Framework and Seven Case Studies
AUSTRALIA C O R P O R A T I O N NATHAN BEAUCHAMP-MUSTAFAGA, DEREK GROSSMAN, KRISTEN GUNNESS, MICHAEL S. CHASE, MARIGOLD BLACK, NATALIA SIMMONS-THOMAS Deciphering Chinese Deterrence Signalling in the New Era An Analytic Framework and Seven Case Studies RR-A1074-1 A4 Cover text only.indd 1,3 5/14/21 1:33 AM The research described in this RAND Australia report was prepared for Australian Department of Defence and was conducted within RAND Australia under Contract HQ0034-16-D-0001. About RAND Australia RAND Australia’s mission is to help improve policy and decisionmaking through research and analysis. RAND’s publications do not necessarily reflect the opinions of its research clients and sponsors.

For more information on this publication, visit www.rand.org/t/RRA1074-1 Preface The purpose of this report is to examine how China’s approach to deterrence signalling is evolving along with its expanding objectives, growing military capabilities, and the availability of new communication channels, such as Chinese- and English-language social media. As China’s pursuit of its goals becomes more assertive, one critically important question for analysts and policymakers in Australia, the United States, and other regional countries is how to interpret China’s changing approach to deterrence signalling. This report is intended to contribute to a better understanding of deterrence and countercoercion across domains in the Indo-Pacific region at a time of increased friction and strategic competition with China. -
Vertical Facility List
Facility List The Walt Disney Company is committed to fostering safe, inclusive and respectful workplaces wherever Disney-branded products are manufactured. Numerous measures in support of this commitment are in place, including increased transparency. To that end, we have published this list of the roughly 7,600 facilities in over 70 countries that manufacture Disney-branded products sold, distributed or used in our own retail businesses such as The Disney Stores and Theme Parks, as well as those used in our internal operations. Our goal in releasing this information is to foster collaboration with industry peers, governments, non- governmental organizations and others interested in improving working conditions. Under our International Labor Standards (ILS) Program, facilities that manufacture products or components incorporating Disney intellectual properties must be declared to Disney and receive prior authorization to manufacture. The list below includes the names and addresses of facilities disclosed to us by vendors under the requirements of Disney’s ILS Program for our vertical business, which includes our own retail businesses and internal operations. The list does not include the facilities used only by licensees of The Walt Disney Company or its affiliates that source, manufacture and sell consumer products by and through independent entities. Disney’s vertical business comprises a wide range of product categories including apparel, toys, electronics, food, home goods, personal care, books and others. As a result, the number of facilities involved in the production of Disney-branded products may be larger than for companies that operate in only one or a limited number of product categories. In addition, because we require vendors to disclose any facility where Disney intellectual property is present as part of the manufacturing process, the list includes facilities that may extend beyond finished goods manufacturers or final assembly locations. -
China Backpacking - Family in Hongkong - Padi & Anh-Dao's Beach Wedding in Australia
2014 February tototo May - China Backpacking - Family in Hongkong - Padi & Anh-Dao's Beach Wedding in Australia All reports and picture galleries (incl. Padi's and Evi's) can be accessed via www.xelliant.ch Background When we booked our flights on British Airways to Hongkong on 12 th January 2014 we had only one fixed target and date: Gobi's Wedding in Hongkong on 19 th of March. We booked for a period of 6 weeks within which everything else was still open. We could have visited Patrick and family in Perth or do a round trip to Philippines, Malaisia or elsewhere. Since Anh-Dao's mother had just visited them for several weeks and they themselves had plans to visit us in CH the coming summer, we chose finally to go once more backpacking in China. It was winter and so only the South would be a reasonable choice. Peggy had found out about the Hakka Tulou's in Fujian and we had never been in that region - so that was what we then did: a Tulou Walk for 1 week and a roundtrip further into Fujian. While we were in China, Patrick and Anh-Dao decided to get married on a lonely beach in the Australian wilderness at around Easter. We only learned these news when Patrick surprisingly turned up in Hongkong with the kids to attend Gobi's wedding. At that time I was still mentally exhausted from the China trip and so, at first, I could not face another big journey. A week after we had returned home to CH, Peggy felt very sad with the idea to miss out and so we booked almost instantly our flights to Perth... -
