    Of Palaces, Hunts, and Pork Roast: Deciphering the Last Chapters of the Capitulary of Quierzy (a. 877) Martin Gravel Politics depends on personal contacts.1 This is true in today’s world, and it was certainly true in early medieval states. Even in the Carolingian empire, the larg- est Western polity of the period, power depended on relations built on personal contacts.2 In an effort to nurture such necessary relationships, the sovereign moved with his court, within a network of important political “communication centres”;3 in the ninth century, the foremost among these were his palaces, along with certain cities and religious sanctuaries. And thus, in contemporaneous sources, the Latin term palatium often designates not merely a royal residence but the king’s entourage, through a metonymic displacement that shows the importance of palatial grounds in * I would like to thank my fellow panelists at the International Medieval Congress (Leeds, 2011): Stuart Airlie, Alexandra Beauchamp, and Aurélien Le Coq, as well as our session organizer Jens Schneider. This paper has greatly benefited from the good counsel of Jennifer R. Davis, Eduard Frunzeanu, Alban Gautier, Maxime L’Héritier, and Jonathan Wild. I am also indebted to Eric J. Goldberg, who was kind enough to read my draft and share insightful remarks. In the final stage, the precise reading by Florilegium’s anonymous referees has greatly improved this paper. 1 In this paper, the term politics will be used in accordance with Baker’s definition, as rephrased by Stofferahn: “politics, broadly construed, is the activity through which individuals and groups in any society articulate, negotiate, implement, and enforce the competing claims they make upon one another”; Stofferahn, “Resonance and Discord,” 9.

    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.

  • Walled City of Baku with the Shirvanshah's Palace and Maiden Tower (2000)
    Walled City of Baku with the Shirvanshah's Palace and Maiden Tower (2000) Baku (Azerbaijani: Bakı), sometimes known as Baky or Baki, is the capital, the largest city, and the largest port of Azerbaijan. Located on the southern shore of the Absheron Peninsula, the city consists of two principal parts: the downtown and the old Inner City (21,5 ha). As of January 1, 2003 the population was 1,827,500 of which 153,400 were internally displaced persons and 93,400 refugees.Baku is a member of Organization of World Heritage Cities and Sister Cities International. The city is also bidding for the 2016 Summer Olympics. Baku is divided into eleven administrative districts (Azizbeyov, Binagadi, Qaradagh, Narimanov, Nasimi, Nizami, Sabayil, Sabunchu, Khatai, Surakhany and Yasamal) and 48 townships. Among these are the townships on islands in the Bay of Baku and the town of Oil Rocks built on stilts in the Caspian Sea, 60 km away from Baku. The first written evidence for Baku is related to the 6th century AD. The city became important after an earthquake destroyed Shemakha and in the 12th century, ruling Shirvanshah Ahsitan I made Baku the new capital. In 1501 shah Ismail I Safavi laid a siege to Baku. At this time the city was however enclosed with the lines of strong walls, which were washed by sea on one side and protected by a wide trench on land. In 1540 Baku was again captured by the Safavid troops. In 1604 the Baku fortress was destroyed by Iranian shah Abbas I. On June 26, 1723 after a lasting siege and firing from the cannons Baku surrendered to the Russians.

The case of Icheri Sheher, Baku. City & Time 3 (3): 1. [online] URL: http://www.ct.ceci- br.org TO MAINTAIN INVISIBLE? THE CASE OF ICHERI SHEHER, BAKU Andrey Ivanov♣ Abstract Actual conservation charters not reflect practically the “soul of place” phenomenon that is important for appropriateness and feasibility of the conservation programs in the sites of urban heritage. Some attempts made by the author to raise the interest to the soul of place issue in the historic cities of former USSR countries are show that a possibility of its considering exists despite the resistance of convention conservation practice. The Integrated Area Management Action Plan (IAMAP) for Icheri Sheher, the World Heritage site in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, included in the list of the World heritage in danger due to the vigorous redevelopment, was elaborated by international expert team with the author participation in 2006-2007 according to universal rules of the international urban conservation consulting. The mental opportunity of creation of “another project” for this place more targeted to the genius loci’s understanding and preservation is discussed. The development of methods of the soul of place investigation and the categories needed is in the very beginning only. Anyway it is stressed that the soul of place issue must become a significant useful component of urban conservation

  • Extended Abstract
    Extended Abstract Tipology and evolution of noble staircases between the XVII th and XVIII th centuries Case study: Lisbon João Pedro Neves Petersen Silva Insituto Superior Técnico, Portugal ABSTRACT To understand the evolution that took place in the vertical communication systems of the noble houses, in Portugal, from the beginning of the XVIIth century until the end of the XVIIIth century, it is necessary to realize the reasons that made a simple utility element of connection between floors to become a key element, around which, the palaces came to conform. Among the factors that influenced the Portuguese society in this two centuries, are to be noted: the Iberian Union and the lack of wealth that the country already exhibited, due to the decline of the maritime empire, the Restauration of Independence and the war that succeeded, making the country even more poorer, the displacement of the court nobility to Lisbon, after the war was over, the discovery of gold in Brazil that enriches the Portuguese crown once more, the Baroque and the import of ideals that are associated with it, the construction of major public buildings such as the Convent of Mafra, the earthquake of 1755 and the reconstruction of Lisbon’s downtown, and also, already in the transition between the XVIIIth century to the XIXth century, some influence from the Industrial Revolution and the European Neoclassicism. The Architecture is directly influenced by all these factors, softly leaving behind the “Plain Architecture” ’s, austere, poor and military style, to become an international baroque architecture, turning to be, at the end of the XVIIIth century, a mixture between the Baroque, the Late-Baroque and the Neoclassicism.

  • Introduction
    JOURNAL OF ARCHITCTURE, PLANNING & CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT Volume 8 Issue 2, 2018 EXPLORING METHODOLOGY TO EVALUATE A HERITAGE DISTRICT FROM THE ARCHITECTURAL PERSPECTIVES IN RELATION TO PALACES, RELIGIOUS BUILDINGS AND MAUSOLEUMS IN KUALA KANGSAR DISTRICT, PERAK, MALAYSIA *1 Nurul Hamiruddin Salleh, 1 Mazlina Mansor, 1 Lokman Hakim Mahamud, 1 Zumahiran Kamarudin, 2 Nurul Syala Ab Latip 1 Kulliyyah of Architecture & Environmental Design, IIUM 2 Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia * [email protected] ABSTRACT Preservation and conservation of heritage sites is an essential effort to achieve sustainable development in Malaysia. However, due to rapid development, many heritage sites and buildings are at risk around the world including Malaysia where many developments encroach into heritage sites and diminish the traces of our culture and history that are embedded in these sites. Eventually, these traces that are important for the identity and sense of place of a particular area and crucial in the educational and cultural development of a nation may be lost. The aim of this research is therefore to explore and examine the methodology to evaluate Kuala Kangsar as a Heritage District from the selected architectural attributes. Kuala Kangsar is chosen as a case study to test the methodology. Employing qualitative method, this research documented and examined the palaces, religious buildings and mausoleums in Kuala Kangsar district on its heritage values through field observation, contents analysis and interviews. All the identified attributes are marked within the related grids in the GIS map of Kuala Kangsar district that has been divided into 2,711 grids according to 1 km x 1 km grid.
