Modern architecture has lost its sense of place by the adoption of practices like standardization and universal modularity, over the focus and influence of unique local building practices. However, looking outside of the cultural main stream works of architecture, there exists some built structures with such purity around how they were constructed and a form of honesty deeply embedded within their material usage. Having been idealized in such a locally specific manner, these attributes become the essence of belonging that ties the building to its particular place. In this thesis, I have considered architecture both within regional or vernacular architectural traditions and the unconstrained means and methods of modern architecture. I looked at how modern technologies related to fabrication can be influenced by the subtle adaptations that traditional architecural crafts have developed, unique to specific regions. / Master of Architecture

Por mucho tiempo, el Perú ha tenido una relación no sincera con su diversidad cultural. Sin embargo, en los últimos años distintas acciones están generando cambios significativos, que permiten un reconocimiento propio de las diferentes culturas que alberga nuestro territorio. Las comunidades indígenas, por muchos años olvidadas, forman parte importante de esta diversidad, de las cuales podemos rescatar su conocimiento sobre el uso y conservación de los recursos naturales, así como del territorio. El Centro Cultural Del Arte Tradicional y Popular Amazónico, busca reconocer a través de la arquitectura, la identidad de esta cultura Amazónica, en específico la de la cultura Shipibo Conibo, la cual se ubica principalmente en la región de Ucayali. El eje principal para el diseño de este proyecto, es el respeto por su cultura ancestral, crear un hito en la ciudad que responda al lugar, a sus materiales, a su entorno principalmente pero que use los conocimientos sobre las tecnologías modernas. Asimismo, el factor climatológico es uno de los componentes más importantes para el desarrollo de esta propuesta y pone en evidencia el lazo que debe de existir entre la cultura y la arquitectura moderna. / For a long time, Perú has had a non-sincere relationship with its cultural diversity. However, in recent years different actions are generating significant changes, which allow recognition of the different cultures that our territory is home to. Indigenous people, almost completely forgotten for years, are now an important part of this diversity. We can rescue their knowledge about the use and conservation of natural resources. The Cultural Center of Amazonian Traditional and Popular Art, seeks to recognize through architecture, the identity of this Amazonian culture and specifically of Shipibo Conibo culture, which is located mainly in the Ucayali region. The main axis of this project is the respect for its ancestral culture. The architecture tries to create a milestone in the city that responds to the place, its materials and its environment. Likewise, the climatological factor is one of the most important components for the development of this proyect. / Tesis

The aim of this work is to analyse the mutual relationship of sub-regional cooperation structures and the dominant integration structure: the European Union. We follow the evolution of mutual relationship between Visegrad Cooperation and the EU from the establishment of such sub-regional cooperation structure until today. Similarly, we analyse the relationship of the Baltic Cooperation and the EU. Later, we compare the evolution of both cooperation types on the background of their integration into the EU and thus identify their specifics. In the final part, we widen the research scope on the whole European Union and even more on the European continent and we try to identify and categorize existing cooperation and integration structures in this wider European region. As a conclusion we introduce brief characteristics of sub-regional cooperation and integration process in Europe in the relation to the EU and suggest future development.

[pt] A presente dissertação tem por finalidade analisar a atual disposição da arquitetura regional da América do Sul; fazendo-a em particular, por meio do sistemático exame da composição e do conteúdo dos principais temas e agendas, que compõem as mais proeminentes instituições regionais do continente, isto é, o Mercosul, a ALBA e a Aliança do Pacífico. Para cumprir com tal objetivo, pretende-se construir um modelo analítico simples, centrado na percepção que cada uma das referidas instituições possui, a respeito de quatro temas-chave considerados institucionalmente prioritários – princípios institucionais, integração produtiva, sistema financeiro e infraestrutura e transportes – e que envolvem integração regional; visando, identificar sobre que orientações paradigmáticas integrativas tais instituições se assentam, se as agendas entre estas instituições são: convergentes, complementares ou dissonantes entre si; e a influência que a combinação das interações entre estas exercem, para com a atual disposição da Arquitetura Regional na América do Sul. Esta dissertação argumenta que a atual disposição da Arquitetura Regional sul-americana subsiste em módulos. / [en] This dissertation aims to analyze the current provision of regional architecture in South America; by doing so, in particular, through the systematic examination of the composition and the content of the main themes and agendas, which make up the most prominent regional institutions of the continent namely Mercosur, ALBA, and the Pacific Alliance. To fulfill this objective, the intente is to build a simple analytical model, centred around the perception that each one of these institutions have about four key institutional priority issues – institutional principles, productive integration, financial system and infrastructure and transport - and also involves regional integration; in order to Identify on which paradigmatic integrative guidelines such institutions are based, If the agendas between these institutions are: convergent, complementary or dissonant to each other; and the influence that the combination of the interactions between them exert, in relation to the current disposition of Regional Architecture in South America. This dissertation argues that the present layout of South American Regional Architecture subsists in modules.

O objetivo geral foi caracterizar a arquitetura civil, nomeadamente o casario circunscrito à localidade mineira de São João del-­-Rei. O recorte temporal se definiu entre os anos de 1810 e 1880 aproximadamente, tendo como referências o desembarque da Família Real Portuguesa no Rio de Janeiro, acompanhado da aberturas dos portos em 1808, e a chegada da ferrovia na cidade são-­-joanense em 1881. A pesquisa foi motivada pela identificação de uma lacuna historiográfica em torno do segundo quartel do século XIX, pelo enquadramento estilístico usualmente restrito aos termos \'colonial\' e \'eclético\' e, ainda, por um respectivo acervo arquitetônico remanescente em São João del-­-Rei, que resistia a tais classificações. Devido a limitações inerentes à pesquisa, a aproximação se restringiu aos aspectos do exterior do casario. A escassez de referências cronológicas locais levou à consideração de outros contextos, de acordo com as conexões geográficas e culturais da época. Destacaram-­-se, nesse ínterim, a cidade do Rio de Janeiro e Portugal, além da produção historiográfica paulista, que se mostraram fundamentais para a maior compreensão do caso são-­-joanense. Foram acessadas diferentes fontes de informação, a começar pela reconhecimento empírico dos conjuntos arquitetônicos e seu respectivo levantamento fotográfico. Uma contribuição significativa foi dada pela iconografia coetânea (aquarelas, desenhos, fotografias etc.) e por imagens fotográficas produzidas já no século XX. Foram ainda consultados alguns manuscritos, escritos de época e documentos cartográficos e planimétricos. Com a consideração das referências, o cruzamento das fontes e a análise da amostra são-­-joanense, as edificações foram agrupadas de acordo com suas características formais e tipológicas. Ensaios sequenciais e as relações com períodos históricos resultaram em uma leitura cronologicamente situada do casario. Nesse ínterim, os motivos arquitetônicos remetidos ao século XVIII foram gradualmente cedendo lugar a outros de orientação classicista. Percebeu-­-se, por um lado, o prolongamento e a resistência de motivos tradicionais e, por outro lado, uma paulatina consolidação do sistema classicista, acompanhada de uma maior profusão no regime ornamental. Observou-­-se uma notável transformação da arquitetura ao longo do tempo, expressa tanto na diversidade compositiva como nas intervenções periódicas demandadas pelas necessidades de manutenção e reforma. A presença concomitante de estilemas tradicionais e neoclássicos implicou composições híbridas, que não apresentaram correspondência plena com categorias estilísticas usualmente praticadas. Aspectos arquitetônicos variaram de acordo com matizes regionais, com destaque para os peculiares estuques do casario são-­-joanense. Nesse sentido, verificou-­-se um movimento de apropriação da cultura arquitetônica, o qual passou por um processo de acomodação local. De forma geral, ficaram sugeridas a relatividade das balizas cronológicas e as limitações dos enquadramentos estilísticos e tipológicos para o estudo da história da arquitetura brasileira, tornando-­-se pertinente considerar as contingências artísticas e históricas das obras em sua individualidade, em seu conjunto e no contexto em que se inserem. / The objective general was characterize To architecture civil, Namely O House Circumscribed The Locality Mining Of Are John The - King.

Mountain family hotel should offer accommodation and the possibility of spending an active holiday for tourists and families with children.

The diploma thesis deals with the topic of contemporary countryside. The result of the thesis - illustrative Manual originated from searching for the basic principles in the area of land-use planning. It focuses especially on urban issues and tries to answer some of them in a comprehensible form. Manual consists mostly of schematics, sketches, visualizations, etc. The issue of new construction and the so-called satellites become one of the key issues. The Manual offers an alternative for this land-grabbing style and it motivates to create a better environment. The basic principles are applied to a specific municipality. Consultation with nine village mayors could be considered as the added value of the work. Mayors shared their experience in building and planning and gave feedback on some chapters. Interesting mayor's remarks are are incorporated in the Manual. The appendix to the manual – Good Practice Examples brings inspiration for creation of regional architecture. The intention is to offer this Manual to all of those who are involved in the management of smaller municipalities.
