19世紀終盤から20世紀初頭のドイツにおける集積型ミュージアムの展開に関する一考察

This study aims to analyze the development of the "agglomerate museum" which appeared in Germany at the beginning of the 1890's. At first, this new type of museum architecture mainly depended on the interior planning (: to consist of various exhibition rooms which correspond to each collection), without presenting distinct exterior design. Although the prosperity of this type around 1900, its interior exhibition planning slowly gained the critics and doubts because of its practicability. And as the last example, the Markisches Museum was presented in 1908, emphasized the exterior design which consisted of various local architectural styles, independent of the interior system.

Un martyrium octogonal découvert à Homs (Syrie) en 1988 et sa mosaïque

Below is published a posthumous article of N. Saliby, the Syrian archaeologist, born in Homs, the ancient Emesus (cf. supra his necrology). In 1988 he had organised a rescue-excavation near the Great Mosque (which is a church transformed in mosque and dating in its present state from Nour ed-Din). During the dig, a Christian building was discovered. Its external shape is half rectangular, half octagonal; the central part, surrounded by an ambulatory, is a regular octagon. Though the dig is incomplete, the building does not seem to have any central apse. It could be a martyrium (some privileged burial have been excavated in a lateral apse), though we do not know the martyr honoured. The date is not certain: N. Saliby proposes the 5th century, without excluding a later date. The pavement now very mutilated was of high quality. Made in opus sectile in the center, it was decorated with very refined mosaics on the border. On one of the preserved panels is represented the side of a Christian basilica (though the front is visible too). The representation is very much detailed. M. Griesheimer gives a more complete description of it and proposes a classic interpretation of it as a basilica with a projecting portico on the side. N. Duval has another interpretation: the interior plan has been projected at the exterior. Such an interpretation is grounded on similar representations from late antiquity. Arguing from the preserved tower, he supposes that this is a city representation. [N. Duval, transl. by M. Jones]

Louis Sullivan's Building for John D. Van Allen and Son

Long regarded as an anomaly among his later works, Louis Sullivan's retail dry goods store for John D. Van Allen and Son of 1913-1915 in Clinton, Iowa, is one of his best documented buildings in surviving drawings and correspondence. Though related to his earlier Schlesinger and Mayer Store in Chicago, the Van Allen Building was Sullivan's only design for a regional adaptation of a metropolitan department store for a smaller city. Often criticized for the ornamental vertical mullions on its main elevation, the Van Allen store's exterior was carefully conceived with respect to its interior plan and its method of construction. Analysis of the design's development reveals that the mullions may have been Sullivan's architectural solution to interrelated questions of the visual rhythm of openings on both street fronts, the expression of the structural system that defined the store's main interior aisles, and the Van Allen Building's height and position in its urban context. The ornamental motifs on the mullions may suggest the relation between mercantile interests and regional agriculture which preoccupied the Van Allens as progressive businessmen who saw Sullivan's building as part of a larger vision for their city's urban development. In its symbolism the Van Allen store is thus related to Sullivan's banks of the same period. The response of Sullivan's design to the particular requirements of the commission makes the Van Allen Building an instructive example of his interest in architectural expression of a building's specific character as one facet of his theoretical ideal that "form follows function."

Dental Office Design: Perceptions of Dentists in Texas

The design of the dental office can play a role in improving dentist/patient relationships. The design can also enhance dental services marketing efforts. This study was undertaken to determine the level of satisfaction of dentists in Texas with the design of their offices and to identify which aspects of dental office design needed further improvement. A two–page questionnaire was sent to a random sample of 199 dentists currently practicing in Texas eighty–six (43.2%) responded. The questionnaire asked subjects to evaluate the interior design of their offices. Results determined that as many as one–half of dental office relocations occur because of changes needed in the interior. Dentists do most of the interior planning for their own offices. Features of dental office design perceived to be in need of improvement were: planning of a staff lounge area, access for wheel chairs, and design of the office to be suitable for future plans. “Warmth” and “competency” were images dentists most wanted to communicate to the patient community, and most Dentists perceived a need for improved dental office design services.

Technology's Impact on Library Interior Planning

Each component of a library requires careful planning so that precious financial resource are maximized, and future renovation costs minimized. Library administrators and governing boards need a realistic conceptualization of the future library, and a solid understanding of building sciences, prior to launching a new construction, renovation, or addition project. Reading, visits to other library facilities, and a spirit of teamwork and cooperation within the entire planning team will be vital, as always.

Therapeutic space design: planning an inpatient children's unit.

The physical space of a treatment facility is conceptualized as therapeutic, in that it can facilitate and support clinical goals. A method for translating clinical concepts into architectural and interior design plans is described, and the environmental planning of a 12-bed psychiatric unit for latency-age children is set forth in detail.

Stylobate and Roof in the Olympieion at Akragas

The Temple of Zeus at Akragas is poorly preserved and imperfectly known. This article offers an analysis of its dimensions and of the principles which might have determined the anomalous arrangement of the columns. Suggestions are made for the interior plan and for the roofing of the structure, which probably included an hypaethral section in the center. Pythagorean beliefs and number theories may have influenced the shaping of this unusual temple.

Surface lineaments displayed on lunar orbiter pictures

Closely spaced parallel lineament sets are observed in most pictures taken by the Lunar Orbiters. These surface features may be related to subsurface fracture sets and systems and are evident on surfaces believed to be underlain by fragmental as well as consolidated material. If such is the case, then the surface expression of underlying fractures would indicate relative movement along the fractures after the overlying surface was last formed. Judging by the relationships in the pictures, the forces necessary to produce or reactivate the lineament sets are not restricted to a single temporal interval in the lunar history. Some of the rims of flooded craters appear to be younger than the interior plans and may be extrusive equivalents of “ring dykes” formed along preflooding fractures. Surface features are illustrated with pictures taken by Lunar Orbiter of the far side, Gambart, Maskelyne F, Marius, Oceanus Procellarum, Gambart C, Kepler, and Copernicus.
