Download or read book Urban Challenges and Urban Design Approaches for Resource Efficient and Climate Sensitive Urban Design in the MENA Region written by Elke Pahl-Weber and published by Universitätsverlag der TU Berlin. This book was released on 2013-06-10 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era defined by climate change, huge resource consumption, a lack of social cohesion, rapidly accelerating technological innovations, economic shifts, and the transformation of political systems, solutions must be pursued at every level of action. This book shows how solutions from urban design and planning can, by integrating the approaches of multiple disciplines, be the first steps toward envisioning the sustainable, energy-efficient, and climate-sensitive city of the future. This book is compiled for readers from a range of professional backgrounds. Its intended audience includes the government bodies, municipalities, urban planners, engineers, architects, civil servants, and citizens who are part of urban development, from initiation through implementation. The facts and findings presented herein are relevant to any national or international debate concerning urban development which aims to create sustainable, resource-efficient, and climate-sensitive urbanization processes. The text and visuals of this book are intended to serve as a comprehensive decision support tool, taking into account that current and future urban challenges and planning tasks can only be tackled through an interlinked and stakeholder driven iterative process. As a result of the Young Cities research project, this book acts as a multilayered reference manual by providing: (a) a brief outline of the MENA region’s urban challenges; (b) a proposal for generic principles and actions for creating an energy- and resource-efficient as well as environmentally sustainable urban environment; (c) the opportunities and impacts of each discipline involved in an integrated planning process; and (d) the findings of the applied principles in the 35 ha “Shahre Javan Community” pilot project.

Download or read book A BIBLICAL JOURNEY SUPPORTED BY SCIENCE written by Edouard RIVIER and published by RIVIER. This book was released on 2022-09-05 with total page 682 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science, in the present state of our scientific knowledge, including the most advanced, can support our faith in order to make the texts not only understandable, but also interesting and often beneficial for our reflection or our interior life. This systematic alliance between faith and science is one of the most innovative aspects of the book, which is highlighted by its title. Thus, on a general level, history, geography, archaeology, linguistics, paleoanthropology, and other disciplines are now able to retrace the history of ancient palestine over a long period of time. Retracing by the same token, the history of the small territory of canaan that the hebrews conquered under the leadership of moses and then, joshua. You will discover egypt, master of the entire near east for more than a thousand years, and the invasions of the sea peoples who ravaged the land of canaan shortly before its conquest by joshua, as well as the hittites and the invasion of egypt by the hyksos. If we place ourselves at the more modest level of the protagonists of the profane or sacred stories that are told in this volume 1, “the time of the patriarchs,” science will teach us a lot about their habits, their fears, and their joys. Texts found in the remains of the city-state of nuzi will shed light on the lifestyle of these nomadic shepherds. Finally, I propose to use the theories of information and communication, in a totally new way, as two scientific tools at the service of the bible. We will consider the sacred text as containing a series of “messages” (in the sense of telecommunications) that god addresses to us through time and space. The senders of these messages are characters “inspired” by god (the patriarchs in this volume 1). These messages reach our mailbox (either e-mail or brain). Communication theory and habits will dictate our first action: authenticate the sender so that he doesn’t send spam or bugs! You will discover how to authenticate abraham through history and plate tectonics, and jacob through paleoclimatology and hieroglyphic inscriptions. Geophysics, including paleoclimatology, plate tectonics, volcanology, and seismology, makes it possible to convert facts tainted with divine wonder to simple manifestations of the earth’s moods, which can often be dated, and which make it possible to take these great patriarchs out of the mythical fog in which our ignorance has tended to confine them.

Download or read book Climate Change and Conservation of Coastal Built Heritage written by Maya Hassan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-11 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the preservation principles and the current environmental challenges relating to monitoring heritage sites and buildings under the effects of climate change. It provides a clear overview of conservation action levels and the importance of participation and cooperation between them, and discusses evaluation and management methods, thermal comfort for the common usages, and conceptual methods for enhancing the built heritage. The research presented employed the “Zoom In, Zoom Out” approach for monitoring the Syrian coastal heritage sites threatened by the direct and indirect effects of climate change. Lastly, the book establishes the basic principles and conservation strategies for preserving the coastal heritage sites and buildings. As such, it is a valuable reference resource for researchers, developers, architects, and conservators involved in protecting the architectural heritage in coastal areas. It can also be used as a guidebook on preserving and monitoring built heritage sites at both macro and micro levels.
Download or read book The Great Arab Conquests written by Hugh Kennedy and published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. This book was released on 2010-12-09 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A popular history of the Arab invasions that carved out an empire from Spain to China Today's Arab world was created at breathtaking speed. Whereas the Roman Empire took over 200 years to reach its fullest extent, the Arab armies overran the whole Middle East, North Africa and Spain within a generation. They annihilated the thousand-year-old Persian Empire and reduced the Byzantine Empire to little more than a city-state based around Constantinople. Within a hundred years of the Prophet's death, Muslim armies destroyed the Visigoth kingdom of Spain, and crossed the Pyrenees to occupy southern France. This is the first popular English language account of this astonishing remaking of the political and religious map of the world. Hugh Kennedy's sweeping narrative reveals how the Arab armies conquered almost everything in their path. One of the few academic historians with a genuine talent for story telling, he offers a compelling mix of larger-than-life characters, battles, treachery and the clash of civilizations.
