Designing spaces for daylight is a complex problem for architects, balancing geometry with the location of daylight sources. Conventional design practice approaches this balance one-dimensionally: common procedures, rules of thumb, and building codes lead designers to default to regulari- ty when designing windows and skylights.

The problem of daylight can be restated, starting first from the basic performance goal of distributed, uniform light. In traditional vernacular architecture, it is common to observe intentional coincidences among windows and interior surfaces,

This presentation examines refugee camp design for the people displaced by the Israel- Palestine Conflict who are now residing in Jordan. In the past, refugee communities have had little or no formal design. However, by utilizing the principles of landscape architecture, these populations can rebuild their communities in ways that empower and promote community vitality. Well-designed communities encourage responsible stewardship of land, greater human health, and quicker economic recovery. Likewise, well-designed com-

The case of contrasting and often divergent understandings between French and American views of land and landscape offers a platform for the exploration of other such relationships and the deriva- tion of general protocols for the translation and transfer of design ideas.

This presentation is a prelimi- nary sampler of a work in progress. An exploration in translation (French into English) of selected chapters from 8 texts by contemporary French landscape architects and philosophers with the intent to present the contemporary French vision of landscape and land as germane and germinal to contemporary design dialogue across various cultures. Germán T. Cruz The French Mind on the Land / Le Pensée Français sur la Terre et le Paysage.

The views and concepts of land and landscape are neither similar nor correlative between cultures. As it emerges with power and influence on the 21st century, landscape architecture finds its design thinking skills in great demand worldwide. This demand forces professionals as well as academics to consider the appropriateness of solutions to diverse environments, cultures and work traditions in order to avoid the dangers of cultural and technological colonialism. While processes and needs of design interven- tions might have common abstract and even rational bases
