Download or read book The Protection of Minorities written by European Commission for Democracy through Law and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication aims to make the Venice Commission's work in the field of protection of minorities more available to the public. It includes, on the one hand, the Proposal for a European Convention on the protection of minorities, as a reply to the heartfelt need for protection of minorities at the European level. The proposal and its explanatory report appear in the first chapter of the publication. This publication includes, in addition, firstly the report on the protection of minorities at domestic law level which was drawn up within the framework of the Venice Commission and secondly the report concerning the special protection of which minorities can take advantage in States with a Federal or Regional structure. The report in question was established on the basis of replies provided by representatives of several European and non-European States to a questionnaire drawn up by the Commission; the questionnaire, together with the replies, appears in an Appendix to the report. Perusal of the replies given by representatives of different States to the same question allows for a rapid appraisal of the solutions adopted in national laws to identical problems of protection of minorities. The European Commission for Democracy through Law considers the question of the protection of minorities to be one of the most important fields of its activity. (Adapted from.

This book was released on 2010-12-15 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Es bien sabido que la arquitectura es un tipo muy especifico de arte, de ciencia o de acto etico,porque los edificios, las ciudades y los territorios son artefactos fisicos y sociales, no representaciones «virtuales», como sucede en el cine, en la literatura, etc. Mijail Bajtin era consciente de esta especificidad cuando afirmaba que la arquitectura, «toda la arquitectura», solamente tiene «sujetos esteticos potenciales», no «heroes esteticos reales».1 Sin embargo, estas cualidades especificas de la arquitectura no significan que «el proyecto arquitectonico virtual», es decir, un proyecto aun no construido, aun no usado, sea real. - See more at: http://ebooks.upc.edu/product/arquitectura-y-virtualidad-architecture-virtuality#sthash.qKiK1LUK.dpuf

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since it was first published, French in Action: A Beginning Course in Language and Culture—The Capretz Method has been widely recognized in the field as a model for video-based foreign-language instructional materials. The third edition, revised by Pierre Capretz and Barry Lydgate, includes new, contemporary illustrations throughout and, in the Documents section of each lesson, more-relevant information for today’s students. A completely new feature is a journal by the popular character Marie-Laure, who observes and comments humorously on the political, cultural, and technological changes in the world between 1985 and today. The new edition also incorporates more content about the entire Francophone world. In use by hundreds of colleges, universities, and high schools, French in Action remains a powerful educational resource that this third edition updates for a new generation of learners. Part 2 gives students at the intermediate level the tools they need to communicate effectively in French and to understand and appreciate French and Francophone cultures.
Download or read book Durabilit sociale de l habitat written by Andrée-Anne Lemieux and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet essai (projet) s'intéresse au rôle qu'ont à jouer les concepts architecturaux de seuil et de parcours dans le développement d'un nouveau complexe intergénérationnel. Le vieillissement de la population présente, pour les professionnels du domaine de l'habitation, un défi important tant au niveau de la réfection de l'existant que pour le développement de nouveaux concepts d'habitats durables. Le projet aura donc comme principal objectif de développer une architecture intergénérationnelle durable, afin de permettre un vieillissement au sein du milieu de vie grâce au principe d'habitat évolutif. Cette intention est mise en place dans un contexte propice, soit la frontière entre Charlesbourg et Limoilou, à l'angle de la 41ième rue et de la première avenue. Cet environnement présente une mixité de population qui saurait profiter de ce type de développement. Les concepts théoriques, allant des besoins de la clientèle cible au rôle de l'architecture et de sa matérialité, abordent toutes les sphères du résidentiel intergénérationnel. Les différents enjeux qui y sont reliés mis en parallèle avec des précédents innovants permettent de bien faire le lien entre la théorie, l'idée et le projet. Le projet se déploie donc à toutes les échelles, de la transformation du contexte urbain à l'étude du seuil entre l'habitat et l'espace public. La cohabitation entre les générations se fait par les possibilités d'appropriation diverses amenées par les différents types d'espaces, allant de l'espace public au seuil semi-privé, que l'on découvre à travers le parcours. Les logements explorent l'évolutivité du milieu de vie à différentes échelles par la variabilité des seuils proposés.
