A Short History of Georgian Architecture
A SHORT HISTORY OF GEORGIAN ARCHITECTURE Georgia is situated on the isthmus between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. In the north it is bounded by the Main Caucasian Range, forming the frontier with Russia, Azerbaijan to the east and in the south by Armenia and Turkey. Geographically Georgia is the meeting place of the European and Asian continents and is located at the crossroads of western and eastern cultures. In classical sources eastern Georgia is called Iberia or Caucasian Iberia, while western Georgia was known to Greeks and Romans as Colchis. Georgia has an elongated form from east to west. Approximately in the centre in the Great Caucasian range extends downwards to the south Surami range, bisecting the country into western and eastern parts. Although this range is not high, it produces different climates on its western and eastern sides. In the western part the climate is milder and on the sea coast sub-tropical with frequent rains, while the eastern part is typically dry. Figure 1 Map of Georgia Georgian vernacular architecture The different climates in western and eastern Georgia, together with distinct local building materials and various cultural differences creates a diverse range of vernacular architectural styles. In western Georgia, because the climate is mild and the region has abundance of timber, vernacular architecture is characterised by timber buildings. Surrounding the timber houses are lawns and decorative trees, which rarely found in the rest of the country. The population and hamlets scattered in the landscape. In eastern Georgia, vernacular architecture is typified by Darbazi, a type of masonry building partially cut into ground and roofed by timber or stone (rarely) constructions known as Darbazi, from which the type derives its name.

Introduction
Introduction: By Malkhaz Erkvanidze Georgian Chant, the Gelati Monastery Chant School, Liturgical Chant for the Twelve Immovable Feasts and the Twelve Celebrations of Our Lord, [Ts’inasit’qvaoba: Kartuli Galoba, Gelatis skola, Tormet’ Sauplo da Udzrav Dghesasts’aulta Sagaloblebi, Meore T’omi, Tbilisi, 2006] Volume II, 2nd Edition, Tbilisi, 2006 This volume continues a series of Georgian chant publications intended to revitalize the medieval chant tradition. The first in the series was published in 2000 and includes the basic required chants for the All-Night Vigil and Divine Liturgy. This second collection contains the basic chants of the Twelve Great Feasts and the Immovable Feast Days, but unfortunately does not include the full breadth of chants from the Feast Days of other saints. The chants in both of these publications are in the Sada Kilo (‘Plain Mode’) and Namdvili Kilo (‘True-Simple Mode’),1 and originate from the medieval school of chant at the Gelati Monastery.2 In our opinion, the Sada Kilo chant from the Gelati and Martvili Monastery schools is the most suitable for church services, as it combines a masterful balance of text and melody. Georgian chant is believed to have originated in the Tao-Klarjeti region between the seventh and tenth centuries (present day NE Turkey)3 from where it spread to the major monastery-academies throughout Georgia. Chant flourished at the academy of Iqalto in far eastern Georgia, the Gelati academy in the Kutaisi region, and Martvili (Chqondidi) Monastery. During the eleventh and twelfth centuries, chant was unified in the school of hymnography at the Gelati Monastery, which was among the leading spiritual and educational centers of the world at that time.

Brand Success Evaluation MAIA SETURI Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, Tbilisi, Georgia Abstract: It is very important for the company to use the trademark and manage them effectively in the working conditions on the competitive market. Trademark (Brand) obsesses the consumer's attention, attracts them and in case of customer’s satisfaction ensures their loyalty. But the brand can’t be considered in unchanged way, even strong and successful brand is evolving and changes over the time. The goal of my research was to study customers’ attitude toward "Borjomi" on Georgian market and to assess the weaknesses, which might be linked to the development of the brand and its further success’s based on the results of the research. There is not still well developed and thought the largest importance of branding in the business of companies commercial success, for example, non-existent work experience of branding in the past. Keywords: Trademark, market, brand, brand effectiveness, branding, brand image, marketing, consumer, loyality, competitive market. Introduction It is very important for the company to use the trademark and manage them effectively in the working conditions on the competitive market. Trademark (Brand) obsesses the consumer's attention, attracts them and in case of customer’s satisfaction ensures their loyalty. “Consumer assesses the identical products depending on how it is branded"(1). But the brand can’t be considered in unchanged way, even strong and successful brand is evolving and changes over the time. Creating a brand is an important and significant first step towards its successful, hard way. Research of the issues related to the brand creation and development is one of the actual (urgent) topics, which is discussed in this paper on the example of Georgian mineral water "Borjomi".
