The Assessment of some Contextual Architecture Factors with an Approach to Culture and Identity in the State and Public Buildings of Pahlavi Era (Case Study: Oil Cinema, Oil Industry College and National Bank)

Important subjects in architecture is the design of buildings according to their contexts. This context can include his‌torical, physical, cultural- social, or climate aspects. Abadan is a city that its basic s‌tructure has been formed in the Pahlavi era. This city has been attracted to the local architecture in this period. Also, it has been influenced by the modern s‌tyle. The method of this research is applied and a survey one with an emphasis on the ques‌tionnaire. The main purpose of the present s‌tudy is to es‌timate the relationship between culture and identity factors of the contextual architecture of three important buildings of the Pahlavi era such as oil cinema(Taj), oil indus‌try college, national bank building in Abadan, and modern architecture of Europe. The research data has been gathered according to the ques‌tionnaire. Cronbach has been used to get the validity of the research. The number and the type of sampling are through the snowball method. SPSS, K.S, and the single tes‌t have been used for the research analysis in the present s‌tudy. The research results show that the amount of tes‌t level in all cases is less than 0/05. Therefore, the normal trend of data has been rejected. Moreover, there is no relationship between the building indicator with 3.87 and level of 0/000 and the plan indicator with 3.82 and the level of 0/000 in the aforementioned buildings. In this case, the use of the indicators of building and plan in the architecture of the Pahlavi era in comparison to European modernism has been less important.

REHABILITATION OF AN ICONIC SKYSCRAPER POISED TO SPUR REVITALIZATION OF A DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD

INTRODUCTION The revitalization of downtown Richmond, Virginia, in the 21st century has been a slow process, beginning in the financial center near the State Capitol Building and migrating slowly westward along Broad Street, the traditional retail avenue of the City. One by one over the course of the past several years, large, iconic buildings have been rehabilitated for new and exciting uses. These buildings have long been associated with the history of the City itself: the Miller & Rhoads Department Store, the John Marshall Hotel, the First National Bank Building, and the Hotel Richmond among others. The Central National Bank (CNB) Building was built at the dawn of the Great Depression and eventually became one of the last Art Deco style skyscrapers remaining in downtown Richmond. Its location in the neglected western fringe area of Broad Street made it the next logical target for rehabilitation. When Douglas Development purchased the vacant building in 2005, they were buying the crowning piece of architecture that they hoped would become the linchpin project to spur the revitalization of the surrounding neighborhood. That lofty goal was not without challenges, of course, and it took 8 years to put the project together and start the building's renovation. The complications inherent in the rehabilitation of any iconic 75-year old building listed on the National Register of Historic Places to suit continued use for contemporary life also clearly came into play.

Louis Sullivan's First National Bank Building (1919-1922), Manistique, Michigan

Louis Sullivan's proposals for remodeling the First National Bank Building (1919-1922) in Manistique, Michigan, were executed in part. They reveal his underappreciated ability to bring order to someone else's design chaos by skillfully manipulating the tiniest of details. They also suggest that after his partnership with Dankmar Adler ended in 1895 he refined a vocabulary of façade composition meant to differentiate commercial structures according to program. When newly available archival material is fully exploited, it will likely reveal a good deal more about this neglected building, which was not only Sullivan's sole bank remodeling but also proof that as his career came to a close his ornament remained as powerful as ever.

Tensometric Measurements For Static SecuringOf Historical Buildings

Often during a reconstruction of historical buildings it is necessary to repair or replace damaged element of the structure by a new part. In such situation it is inevitable to reach a stage when the damaged part is not statically stressed. The deformation tensometric measurement was used to monitor and verify stress changes during reconstruction. Electric resistive strain gauges were glued mainly on the supporting metal structure or directly on repaired parts. In this paper some examples how this method was applied are demonstrated on the three structures: Reparation of the sandstone portal in the Prague Castle Picture Gallery Measurements of deformation changes in tensile rods for static securing of the lateral walls in the Wallenstein Palace Replacement of columns in the Czech National Bank building.

The retention of dentures

accurate master casts, final survey and design, education of the patient, insertion and maintenance of the dental prosthesis are a ll of equal importance. M outh preparation may encompass a ll fields of dentistry. The importance of modification of teeth by grinding and polishing, or cast restorations to harmo­ nize w ith the path of insertion of the denture, has been discussed. These modi­ fications should provide the partia l den­ ture w ith adequate support, stability and retention w ith in the physiological lim its of the supporting structures. M od ifica­ tions of the opposing occluding surfaces are indicated to aid in establishing proper occlusion. A removable partial denture made in accordance w ith these principles is not the forerunner of a complete den­ ture, but maintains oral tissues and health. 504 Security National Bank Building

Report of Committee on Dynamics of Streams, 1938–39

All members of the Committee on Dynamics of Streams have been quite active in the field of the Committee's assigned work and in immediately related activities. Individual members are represented on several of the other Committees of the Section of Hydrology of the American Geophysical Union and on Committees on related subjects of other organizations. This has been advantageous in the stimulation of cooperative effort in the field of the Committee's activity.Last year nine reports of the Committee's membership were presented at meetings of the American Geophysical Union and published in its Transactions. Several other persons solicited by the Committee prepared papers for presentation at the Union s meetings. Numerous articles on stream‐dynamics by the Committee's membership have also appeared in other publications. There have been no changes in membership of the Committee on Dynamics of Streams during the past year. The membership of the Committee is as follows:K.

Follansbee, Folse, Horton, and Houk are new members who accepted appointment on the Committee in 1936.The Committee has been working on the chapter on Evaporation from Free‐Water Surfaces for the proposed Bulletin on Hydrology in the Physics‐of‐the‐Earth Series of the National Research Council. The Chairman of the Committee had been asked to prepare such a chapter and has sought the assistance of the members of the Committee in its preparation. A first draft was sent to the members of the Committee in December, 1936, with a request for criticism. Several carefully prepared and helpful reviews of this draft as well as discussion of the subject of evaporation were received from members of the Committee. A second draft, condensed to the length allotted in the Bulletin for this chapter, is nearly completed. If time permits, it will also be sent to the Committee members for further comment. This work has been the only direct activity of the Committee during the year.
