  • Comparative Compatibility Assessment on Reused Iranian Houses from Qajar Era
    v.XX n.x 2020 DOI: 104013/arq.2020.161.XX v.17 n.1 2021 DOI: 10.4013/arq.2021.171.03 COMPARATIVE COMPATIBILITY ASSESSMENT ON REUSED IRANIAN HOUSES FROM QAJAR ERA AVALIAÇÃO COMPARATIVA DA COMPATIBILIDADE EM CASAS IRANIANAS REUTILIZADAS DA ERA QAJAR Negin Nazari Moayed1 Özlem Olgaç Türker2 Abstract Reusing heritage buildings with a compatible function provides the opportunity to sustain their significance. In this regard, the listed traditional houses in Tabriz, as one of the historical cities of Iran, play an important role in presenting cultural heritage values. Privacy as an intangible aspect of culture along with both physical and socio-cultural factors, have played a major role in the spatial organization of traditional Iranian houses, and formed the access hierarchy in the interior spaces. The purpose of this study is assessing the continuity or discontinuity of interior spaces in original and reused states of listed traditional houses in Tabriz from Qajar Era, to contribute to a better understanding of compatibility of new functions with the existing heritage building. The research methodology is based on literature survey for defining the original functions and observation of interior spaces for defining the current functions of each space. Additionally, the analytical approaches of ‘space syntax methodology’ are used to achieve the access hierarchy in space organization of the houses. Findings are derived from the comparison of ‘relative depth value’ as a reflection of privacy; and ‘integration value’ as a reflection of accessibility in both states. Keywords: Residential interior Space, architectural conservation, space syntax method, space organization, space hierarchy. Resumo A reutilização de edifícios patrimoniais com uma função compatível oferece oportunidade de sustentar seu significado patrimonial.

  • Resumé Konkretisering Af Skybrudsplan Bispebjerg, Ryparken & Dyssegård Skybrudsoplandene
    BISPEBJERG, RYPARKEN & DYSSEGÅRD RESUMÉ KONKRETISERING AF SKYBRUDSPLAN BISPEBJERG, RYPARKEN & DYSSEGÅRD SKYBRUDSOPLANDENE I forbindelse med det meget voldsomme skybrud, der ramte København den 2. juli 2011, blev store dele af København ramt af omfattende oversvømmelser. Oversvømmelserne medførte store problemer for infrastrukturen i det meste af det indre Kø- benhavn og Frederiksberg. Der stod visse steder op til en halv meter vand i gaderne, og mange boliger og butikker fik alvorlige vandskader. Grundet de alvorlige konsekvenser, som skybrud- det den 2. juli 2011 og andre, mindre kraftige skybrud har haft for store dele af byen, har Københavns Kommune igangsat dette projekt. Kontretiseringen af skybrudsplanen har til formål at belyse initiativer, der kan medvirke til at reducere skaderne i forbindelse med skybrudshændelser fremover. Projektområdet omfatter Københavns Skybrudsplan 2012’s vandoplande Svanemøllen, Lersøgrøften, Utterslev, Utterslev Mose samt Tingbjerg i Vandløse vandopland, kort benævnt Bispebjerg, Ryparken og Dyssegård skybrudsopland. De foreslåede løsninger til skybrudssikring opfylder serviceni- veauet vedrørende oversvømmelser under skybrudshændelser i København, dvs. at der maksimalt kan accepteres ti cm vand på terræn ved en 100-års regnhændelse. Endvidere er det tilstræbt i henhold til de overordnede intentioner i Københavns Sky- brudsplan 2012 at udforme løsninger, der også har en værdi i sig selv og kan bibringe byen attraktive grønne og blå elementer. 2 SKYBRUDSOPLAND BISPEBJERG, RYPARKEN & DYSSEGÅRD BISPEBJERG, RYPARKEN & DYSSEGÅRD BAGGRUND OG UDFORDRINGER Bispebjerg, Ryparken og Dyssegård skybrudsopland modtager vand (regn-, spil- devand, vandløbs- og søvand) fra to vandbassiner: Utterslev Mose/Emdrup Sø bassinet på 21,9 km² og Lersøgrøften/Vilhelmsdalsløbbassinet på 7,2 km², i alt 29,1 km². Halvdelen af dette område ligger i Gladsaxe og Gentofte kommuner.

When leaves fall off the trees and one takes a closer look – grey, the publication concrete, black-yawning shooting sta- tions can be observed on the lake shores. How come this idyllic land hosts such sinister bunkers? We will definitely find the answer to this question while hiking along the Mazury Fortifications Trail. Not everyone knows that this colourful land of the Mazury lakes, forests and fields, among which numerous monuments of the past can be found, has an interesting, as well as complicated history. Testimony to the turbulent history of the region are the innumerable defensive structures, built from the time of the Middle Ages through to World War II. The magnificent scenery of hills and plains, cross-cut by ribbons of lakes and river valleys, next to the broad and large Śniardwy and Mamry lakes with marshes and wetlands hidden in the forest thicket. These are the natural defensive qualities of the Warmia and Mazury regions. The inhabitants and rulers of these lands have learned to use such gifts of nature, creating fortifications which were to protect their land against foreign invaders. Mazury and Warmia were parts of an area which has been an enclave surrounded by the territories of foreign states during almost the whole At the gates of the Hitler’s quarters, of its history.
