Business center at 69 Dekabristov street: history first

Interaction between new projects and historical buildings is explored on the example of the business center at 69 Dekarbistov Street. The role of this business center in the structure of the historically significant area in Yekaterinburg is established through analysis of its spatial and urban compositions, and plastic and coloristic solutions. Opinions from practicing architects and architecture theorists have enabled general architectural and artistic approaches to the design of new architectural objects in historical contexts and criteria for their analysis to be formulated. A review of similar objects from Russian and international practice provided an evaluation scale with two opposite values: "full contrast" and "full nuance" of architectural solutions for a new facility in relation to the existing surrounding buildings. In conclusion, the importance of the business center is revealed as an object that harmoniously interacts with the historical environment and forms a corner of the city block.

Pengaruh Taman Kambang Iwak Kecik Terhadap Tingkat Suhu dan Kelembaban di Masjid Raya Taqwa Palembang

The people of Palembang city know Taman Kambang Iwak (fish pond) as a park for recreation, sports and social contact. Kambang Iwak is divided into two, namely the Kambang Iwak Besak Park (TKIB) and the Kambang Iwak Kecik Park (TKIK). Taman Kambang Iwak Kecik is behind the Taqwa grand mosque Palembang which has a pool that is ¼ the area of TKIB and has a green open space (RTH) which is quite small compared to TKIB. TKIK is surrounded by a 2.5 m wide pedestrian street that has many Tabebuya trees planted. With the fish pond and green open space, of course, the temperature and humidity of the environment affect the level of comfort in the room. Therefore this study aims to determine how much influence temperature and humidity have on the Taqwa Palembang Great Mosque. And descriptive analysis research method with an architectural approach. Data collection was carried out using Hobometers and anemometers. The data was analyzed by comparing it with the ASHRAE standard. It was found that the influence of temperature and humidity on TKIK had quite an effect on the level of comfort, especially during the day when the sun was hot which made the evaporation of the pool water enter the Raya Taqwa Mosque due to the wind blowing from the pool.

Architectural and Technological Approaches for Efficient Energy Management in Multicore Processors

Benchmarks play an essential role in the performance evaluation of novel research concepts. Their effectiveness diminishes if they fail to exploit the available hardware of the evaluated microprocessor or, more broadly, if they are not consistent in comparing various systems. An empirical analysis of the consecrated Splash-2 benchmarks suite vs. the latest version Splash-4 was performed. It was shown that on a 64-core configuration, half of the simulated benchmarks reach temperatures well beyond the critical threshold of 105 °C, emphasizing the necessity of a multi-objective evaluation from at least the following perspectives: energy consumption, performance, chip temperature, and integration area. During the analysis, it was observed that the cores spend a large amount of time in the idle state, around 45% on average in some configurations. This can be exploited by implementing a predictive dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) technique called the Simple Core State Predictor (SCSP) to enhance the Intel Nehalem architecture and to simulate it using Sniper. The aim was to decrease the overall energy consumption by reducing power consumption at core level while maintaining the same performance. More than that, the SCSP technique, which operates with core-level abstract information, was applied in parallel with a Value Predictor (VP) or a Dynamic Instruction Reuse (DIR) technique, which rely on instruction-level information. Using the SCSP alone, a 9.95% reduction in power consumption and an energy reduction of 10.54% were achieved, maintaining the performance. By combining the SCSP with the VP technique, a performance increase of 8.87% was obtained while reducing power and energy consumption by 3.13% and 8.48%, respectively.

Huachafo architecture between kitsch and aesthetic innovation

One way of theorising the fundamental reorganisation of the aesthetic coordinates that modernism brought about is to understand modern and post-modern artistic creation as phases of a dialectical movement. As Fredric Jameson and Slavoj Žižek pointed out, modernism may well be understood as the negation of pre-modern art, whereas post-modernism acts as the moment of sublation – the final synthesis – that preserves and combines elements from both stages. Admittedly, this is Plumpes Denken at its best – there is no room for finesse here – although it does work surprisingly well in the field of architecture. After all, the advent of the modern upended the lavish styles of the late nineteenth century by producing their polar opposite (think of Adolf Loos, who went as far as to criminalise the use of ornaments), whereas post-modern architecture succeeded in blending both traditional and modern elements in a jocular, casual and often parodistic fashion. Against this background, this article proposes an in-depth exploration of an even more recent phenomenon: huachafo architecture, an emerging cultural trend in Bolivia and Peru. Although frequently dismissed, or even derided, by its detractors, with the term huachafo itself being translated as ‘tacky’ or ‘tasteless’, it has already established itself in many neighbourhoods of the countries’ largest cities, often in less affluent, or even informal, areas. Much like its Western counterpart, huachafo architecture approaches its subject with a sensitivity to traditional and modern stylistic codes; however, its results differ considerably from most classically post-modern designs. This article posits huachafo architecture as a kind of alternate post-modernism that draws heavily on regional influences, while challenging some of our preconceived notions about the importance of good taste and the implicit assumptions about class that often accompany this type of reasoning.

The relationship between tradition and modernity significantly influences society, culture, and architectural discourse. This philosophy offers a framework for exploring the impact of traditional architecture on contemporary Iranian architecture from different perspectives and approaches. Various viewpoints exist on whether historical architecture can be a defining characteristic of contemporary architectural discourse. Through an in-depth review of analysis-centred architectural literature, a unique method was chosen for analysing contemporary architecture and gaining insight into its creation. The main goal of this study is to establish a productive relationship between past-oriented architecture, innovative architectural concepts, and contemporary thought. This article examines three critical viewpoints, tradition as imitation, transmission, and transformation, alongside analysing their influential components on architectural form to gain insight into productively connecting with historical achievements and show that the role of history is to add new values to architecture-conscious needs that have changed during history. Ultimately, the challenge lies in finding a suitable path among diverse perspectives and reinterpretations and establishing a productive relationship with history and contemporary thought.

Ara--CANINE: Character-Based Pre-Trained Language Model for Arabic Language Understanding

Recent advancements in the field of natural language processing have markedly enhanced the capability of machines to comprehend human language. However, as language models progress, they require continuous architectural enhancements and different approaches to text processing. One significant challenge stems from the rich diversity of languages, each characterized by its distinctive grammar resulting in a decreased accuracy of language models for specific languages, especially for low-resource languages. This limitation is exacerbated by the reliance of existing NLP models on rigid tokenization methods, rendering them susceptible to issues with previously unseen or infrequent words. Additionally, models based on word and subword tokenization are vulnerable to minor typographical errors, whether they occur naturally or result from adversarial misspellings. To address these challenges, this paper presents the utilization of a recently proposed free-tokenization method, such as Cannine, to enhance the comprehension of natural language. Specifically, we employ this method to develop an Arabic-free tokenization language model. In this research, we will precisely evaluate our model’s performance across a range of eight tasks using Arabic Language Understanding Evaluation (ALUE) benchmark. Furthermore, we will conduct a comparative analysis, pitting our free-tokenization model against existing Arabic language models that rely on sub-word tokenization. By making our pre-training and fine-tuning models accessible to the Arabic NLP community, we aim to facilitate the replication of our experiments and contribute to the advancement of Arabic language processing capabilities. To further support reproducibility and open-source collaboration, the complete source code and model checkpoints will be made publicly available on our Huggingface1 . In conclusion, the results of our study will demonstrate that the free-tokenization approach exhibits comparable performance to established Arabic language models that utilize sub-word tokenization techniques. Notably, in certain tasks, our model surpasses the performance of some of these existing models. This evidence underscores the efficacy of free-tokenization in processing the Arabic language, particularly in specific linguistic contexts.

Simulation-Driven Strategies for Improving Natural Ventilation in Educational Spaces: A Case Study of An Educational Building in Sari

Any architectural space, especially the architecture of an educational complex, should provide comfort for human beings in the face of geographical and climatic characteristics. Climatic factors have always profoundly affected the formation of the physical environment of buildings. Energy demand has always been one of society’s most critical issues. Saving resources is one of the architectural design goals to achieve a suitable environment-friendly architecture. This architectural approach, which comes from the concepts of sustainable development, is one of the basic human needs in the current world due to its compatibility with the environment. The goal is to build constructions that can improve the climate, prevent the waste of energy consumption, and avoid the adverse effects of construction on the environment. In traditional Iranian architecture, there are numerous passive methods; natural ventilation is an essential part of Iranian conventional building design, which is being ignored today. Since humid and moderate climates have high relative humidity on most days of the year, one important goal is to move the stagnant moisture inside to establish a suitable thermal environment for occupants. The research method of the present study is descriptive-analytical, which has been experimented with according to library studies in addition to climate and meteorological data. Then, analysis of the data is provided by an energy simulator. It is concluded that the best orientation of the educational building is south, which can provide proper natural ventilation and solar heat gain. In other words, optimal interior air quality is achieved in this orientation.

A Transdisciplinary Approach and Design Thinking Methodology: For Applications to Complex Problems and Energy Transition

In this paper, we outline a transdisciplinary approach and design thinking methodology (TADTM) to tackle complex problems. Our premise is that these problems need a fundamental understanding of technological solutions and those for human interactions, business operations, financing, socioeconomic governance, legislation, and regulations. They must be approached by different decisionmakers from different disciplines to establish seamless interactions and structured teamwork. In this regard, we emphasize the need for a transdisciplinary framework that accounts for personal preferences based on human behavior as well as the traditional interdisciplinary frameworks. To test and prove our hypothesis, three case studies are discussed. Case Study 1 is based on our studies at a major medical establishment, and Case Study 2 is about the integrated engineering and architecture approach we used at our university campus. Case Study 3 is based on an ongoing project to lead industrial corporations to change their energy policies with practical energy efficiency measures and by adapting renewable/alternative energy adaptations for their operations. Developing creative solutions and strategies to decrease atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions requires such an energy transition framework and should involve every person, company, entity, and all governments. It can only be achieved with efforts on both local and global levels, which needs to convince (a) industries to change their traditional operation modalities, (b) people to alter their consumption behaviors, and (c) governments to change their rules, regulations, and incentives. The complexity and magnitude of this enormous task demand the coordination and collaboration of all stakeholders, as well as the need for technological innovations.

A Proposal to Revive the Brewster Wheeler Recreation Center: An Architectural Approach

This research dives into the historical roots and proposed revitalization of the Brewster Wheeler Recreation Center, located in downtown Detroit with a focus on the city's progress and the preservation of its heritage. Almost all previous renovation plans for the city of Detroit have come to a halt due to the lasting effects of COVID-19. However, as the pandemic has come to an end, Detroit has been making huge leaps in its revitalization efforts. The paper’s main objective is to contribute to the city of Detroit and have applications to the real world. The proposal presents a pitched roof design that shows remnants of the building’s historicalness and highlights its novelty, creating a balanced blend between the two. The proposal also takes advantage of the expansive surrounding land to position the recreation center as a central community hub by including sports fields and a historical museum inside the building. The museum would serve as the history of the building’s evolution and notable figures from its humble beginnings as a library in 1917 to its present state.

STUDY OF BIOPHILIC CONCEPT IN PONDOK INDAH BINTARO HOSPITAL

A hospital is a medical facility that aims to improve the quality of life of the community through the process of preventing, treating, and medicating health problems. The mix of hope for recovery and the risk of death creates the impression that the hospital is a scary place, which affects the patient's psychological condition and causes other problems. Biophilic is an architectural approach that aims to have a positive influence on the human psyche by fulfilling his instinctive need for affiliation with nature. This study aims to understand the application of the biophilic concept at Pondok Indah Bintaro Hospital. The method used is descriptive qualitative with analysis based on the theory of 14 biophilic patterns by Browning, Ryan, and Clancy, through a hospital with a biophilic architecture that represents natural systems at a site scale through nature in space. At the building scale, biophilic is applied through architectural details that analogize natural forms (nature analogues), as well as natural spatial characteristics that affect human perception (nature of space).

A Decentralized Voting and Monitoring Flight Control Actuation System for eVTOL Aircraft

The emergence of eVTOL (electrical Vertical Takeoff and Landing) aircraft necessitates the development of safe and efficient systems to meet stringent certification and operational requirements. The primary state-of-the-art technology for flight control actuation in eVTOL aircraft is electro-mechanical actuators (EMAs), which heavily rely on multiple redundancies of critical components to achieve fault tolerance. However, challenges persist in terms of insufficient reliability, immaturity, and a lack of a measurable evaluation method. This research addresses these issues by elucidating the design requirements for EMAs in eVTOL aircraft and proposing a systematic design and evaluation approach for EMA architecture. A key enhancement involves the incorporation of decentralized voting and monitoring (VoDeMo) mechanisms within the Electronic Control Units (ECUs) to improve the overall safety of the EMA. The paper introduces an innovative triple-dual redundant architecture for aircraft control effectors, comprising three dissimilar lanes of ECUs and two similar redundant parallel channels of power electronics and motors. The design is synergistically supported by a comprehensive evaluation that incorporates quantifiable Model-Based Safety Assessment (MBSA), utilizing both physical simulation and logical safety models. Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) tests are conducted on a constructed prototype to validate the proposed architecture.

АРХІТЕКТУРА ПРОГРАМНОЇ СИСТЕМИ ДЛЯ ВИРІШЕННЯ ЗАДАЧІ КЛАСИФІКАЦІЇ НА ОСНОВІ ПРИВАТНИХ ДАНИХ

Data analysis and artificial intelligence systems are becoming widely used in various spheres of human life. This is confirmed by more typical cases of their use, in particular, the selection of recommendations for the user in e-commerce, the detection of spam in e-mail services, and the moderation of user comments; as well as cases of personal use of such tools (for example, chatbots ChatGPT, Google Bard, Microsoft Copilot have appeared and gained significant popularity in the last two years). One of the key elements of such systems is data, which is necessary for training and testing software systems of intelligent data analysis. A significant amount of diverse data contributes to the construction of a software system with high accuracy. Considering this, the task of choosing and preparation of datasets that can be used in the construction of such systems is important. One of the difficulties in this task is the presence of private information in the datasets, which limits their use for systems of intelligent data analysis. The paper is devoted to the development of the software system architecture for solving the classification problem based on private data. The existing methods and architectural approaches for privacy-preserving in machine learning were considered. The architecture of the software system was proposed, the characteristic feature of which is the protection of private datasets by using of functional encryption, which allows to increase the number of datasets for training publicly available data analysis and artificial intelligence systems. The proposed architecture of the software system is based on the client-server architecture and functional encryption. The components are a classifier, a generator of encryption keys, and modules of functional encryption and decryption. Prospects for further research were discussed.
