About that, aesthetic value and interior space concept will be arranged in an example kind of new in visual forms. The interior space of the Yogyakarta Presidential Palace concept was a development from the interior space concept during the era of Sukarno. This research is based on the aesthetic and historical approach that stressed on the artistic aspects and design that are associated with aesthetic appeal. The study uses a qualitative research method with an interdisciplinary approach that includes historical, social, cultural, and aesthetic approaches by not leaving descriptive aspects and critical analysis of reading sources and field surveys. It is inductive qualitative research because the inductive process is more able to find multiple realities as contained in the data. The analysis was done using observations of form and function, including the meaning of space composition, which was arranged to 1produce a proportionate composition with the art collection object. This research is expected to be a basis for the interior aesthetic of the Yogyakarta Presidential Palace and to contribute to designers in the fields of architecture, fine arts, and especially the interior design.

    Mr. Ilham Aliyev Presidential Palace Istiglaliyyat street 19 1066 Baku Republic of Azerbaijan Fax: +994124923543 and +994124920625 E-mail: [email protected] 23 April 2012 Urgent appeal for the prompt and impartial investigation, followed by a fair and open trial, of the attack against journalists Idrak Abbasov, Gunay Musayeva and Adalat Abbasov Mr. President, On 18 April 2012 in Baku, security guards attacked a prominent Azerbaijani journalist, Idrak Abbasov. This violent assault constitutes another case out of a long list of journalists harassed and attacked in Azerbaijan. The authorities of Azerbaijan bear the international responsibility to fully guarantee and promote the right to freedom of expression, as well as to carry out a prompt and impartial investigation and bring those responsible for these hideous crimes to justice in fair and open trial. Idrak Abbasov, a reporter of the newspaper Zerkalo and of the Institute for Reporters' Freedom and Safety (IRFS), was beaten by security guards of the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) whilst filming the confrontation between the residents of the settlement of Sulutepe on the outskirts of Baku and SOCAR, which is in charge of demolishing irregular homes in the area. Idrak Abbasov was wearing clear journalist identification when he was approached by the security guards and consecutively beaten up during 5 to 7 minutes. The journalist – unconscious, coughing up blood, with many bruises and hematomas – was taken to the hospital. According to doctors, his present state of health is very poor and he suffers from serious head and body traumas. His brother, Adalat Abbasov and a female journalist Gunay Musayeva were also assaulted.

  • Re-Imagining Haiti's National Palace
    Research Design Competition Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights shows that adequate, dignified buildings and housing are fundamental to our human rights. Symbolic Power, History and Humanitarian Crisis: Re-Imagining Haiti’s National Palace Site: Palais National (National Palace), Port-au-Prince, Haiti Introduction: The National Palace in Haiti has shaped and been shaped by the course of the geopolitical history of the modern world. After suffering major damage in the 2010 earthquake, the building has lain in ruins in Port-au-Prince. As a poignant reminder of the neo-colonial impact on the Caribbean before the disaster, the building’s current state stands as a metaphor for the country’s crippled political system and tumultuous history. However, it remains unclear whether the presidential palace will be reconstructed, demolished, or replaced. The complex relationship between its historical influences, the current political climate and presence of international actors will be explored in this research design competition. History: The site has a tumultuous and violent history that begins long before the 2010 disaster. Serving as the Haitian rulers’ residence since the 18th century, the site has seen several forms of rule, from colonial to imperial, dictatorship, and finally democracy. Initially the Government Palace, it was visited by Simon Bolivar seeking troops for his South American campaign. In 1850, renamed the Imperial Palace it was destroyed in 1869 by a rebel army bombardment which ignited a store of munitions and gunpowder held by the president. A replacement was built in 1881, which was then destroyed by a bomb blast in 1912, ending the rule of President Cincinnatus Leconte.
