Particularmente, lo que siempre nos llamó la atención en la carrera, no fue tal vez la construcción de grandes edificaciones o la realización de detallados diseños de interiores en un espacio, sino, lo que realmente nos motiva a aprender y tomar cierto interés a la arquitectura, es a la que con gran afecto llamamos “Arquitectura Libre”, la cual, en términos técnicos, se asemeja en gran medida a la Arquitectura Paisajista. En otras palabras, el típico contenedor desaparece para dar mayor libertad al espacio, ofreciendo una alternativa a los tradicionales muros que nos limitan, los cuales dependen de vanos y aberturas para la visual al exterior. Dando cabida al diseño de espacios abiertos, donde la naturaleza es la protagonista de cada espacio y las visuales son el ingreso a cada escenario que se ha desarrollado con un previo estudio del lugar y sus características. Otra motivación, para esta investigación académica, es poner a prueba y profundizar los conocimientos de interés adquiridos en la carrera universitaria, poniendo un hincapié a la arquitectura paramétrica y cómo la programación evolutiva se aplica en ésta. Ya que, la tecnología sigue avanzando cada día, brindándonos la oportunidad de utilizar herramientas que nos permiten resolver de manera más eficaz y eficiente las incógnitas en el desarrollo del diseño. Este territorio es nuevo, por la tanto, aún se siguen investigaciones y es, en su mayoría, experimental. Siendo un tema poco explorado en nuestro país por la limitación de información e investigación.En aquel momento, todo fue dando sentido y poco a poco se fue originado el tema. Empezó a tomar nuestros sentidos e incluso a tenerle una cierta pasión y entusiasmo a nuestra ocurrencia. La necesidad de un espacio que vaya acorde a la realidad de la ciudad en cuanto a dimensión, además, que genere un impacto positivo para los usuarios. Que no se vuelvan un contraste entre la metrópolis y Necrópolis. Sino, todo lo contrario, que se unifiquen y genere una interrelación. Tomando este concepto de gran fuerza que se refiere a: Vida y muerte interactuando.

Cities today are suffering from public dependence on the automobile and a tendency to sprawl. The preference afforded to privatized means of mobility and dwelling has diminished opportunities for interaction and exchange in the public realm. The role of public transportation infrastructure must be elevated to reconnect our fractured communities. To achieve this, the identity of place must be translated into infrastructure- something that is by definition a regularized system of support. Combining the utility of infrastructure and a contextual reading of place, stations have a unique opportunity to communicate to the public. One station simultaneously reflects the identity of the regional network, the particular line it is located along, and the neighborhood it serves. An investigation into the need for redesign of transportation infrastructure in New Orleans explores the relationship between the ephemeral experiences of mobility through a city of shifting identity. Stations designed along a local and an express line demonstrate an approach to transportation planning and design that reinforces local identity in order to redefine the city. / Yes

La thèse porte sur l’étude de vingt mobiliers funéraire provenant des nécropoles oenôtres de Palinuro et Rivello, datées du dernier quart du VIe siècle. Le deux sites se placent dans le Golfe de Policastro, un territoire qui connaît un peuplement tardif et particulier. La position stratégique des sites oenôtres développe un riche réseau d’échanges avec les Grecs.Toutefois, Après la chute de Sybaris on assiste à une rapide décline des ces communautés, et on enregistre un vide documentaire jusqu’à la fin du Ve siècle. Le but de la recherche a été de donner une réponse aux rapports entre Grecs et Indigènes ainsi que à ce vide documentaire. A côte de l’analyse des mobiliers funéraires, la recherche s’est enrichie d’une étude topographique du Golfe et de la cité d’Elée, ainsi que de l’analyse des sources historiques, notamment la tradition autour Palinure. Cette triple approche a donné un cadre exhaustif de la région entre la fin de l’archaïsme et le début du Ve siècle. L’analyse des mobiliers a souligné, d’abord, l’adoption du coutume du banquet par les communauté de Palinuro et Rivello ainsi qu’un rôle important dans le réseau d’échanges avec les Grecs. L’analyse des mobiliers de Palinuro, en outre, a permis de baisser la chronologie de l’établissement au 480-460 av. J-C. Les sites du Golfe jouent un rôle de médiation du dit « empire » sybarite et ils bénéficient d’une certain autonomie, comme démontré par les émissions monétaires et les épigraphe en langue oenôtre. Les données acquises, pourtant, témoignent la vitalité du Golfe avant et après la chute de la cité achéenne. / My Phd’s research concerns the study of twenty burial goods dated of Archaic period and located in Palinuro and Rivello, in Southern Italy. These two sites are placed in the Gulf of Policastro, an area populated during the last Greek colonization. The strategic position of the Oinotrians sites developed a rich commercial network with the Greek cities. However, after the Sybaris’ fall, the Oenotrians communities begin to disappear and the archaeological quests reveal no data until the end of he Vth century. The aim of the research was to give an answer to the rapports between Greeks and Indigenous, as well as to the lack of data that characterizes the most part of Vth century. In addition to the burial goods analysis, the research extended on a topographical study of the Gulf and of the city of Elea as well as the study of the historical sources, especially about Palinuro’s tradition. The triple approach gave a complete context of the region between the end of archaic period and the beginning of Vth century. First of all, the grave goods are indicators of a society influenced by the Greek banquet customs. Moreover, the study about the Palinuro’s burial goods allowed lowering chronology around 480-460 b.C. This datum reduced the lack of finds between the Sybaris’ fall and the beginning of the so-called “lucanisation”. The Gulf sites play a mediator role of the Sybaris’ empire and they benefit from a certain autonomy, as revealed by the presence of Achaean-eight coins links and epigraphs in oinotrian language. The research reveals the Gulf of Policastro as a vivid region with a certain autonomy, who continues its life even after the fall of Sybaris.

FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnolÃgico / Se inadequadamente localizadas ou insuficientemente protegidas, as necrÃpoles apresentam um importante problema de saÃde pÃblica e riscos de contaminaÃÃo a aquÃferos. Em Teresina, PiauÃ, o caso do cemitÃrio Areias, localizado Ãs margens do Rio ParnaÃba e prÃximo do ponto de captaÃÃo de Ãgua para abastecimento pÃblico, chama a atenÃÃo para o descaso da falta de gerenciamento de Ãreas contaminadas e reverbera o estado atual da gestÃo de aquÃferos impactados por necrÃpoles no Brasil. Este estudo propÃs a forma adequada de investigaÃÃo do passivo ambiental causado por necrÃpoles. AlÃm disso, utilizou a modelagem computacional de aquÃferos para melhorar o diagnÃstico de contaminaÃÃo, adequando soluÃÃes que garantissem a qualidade e a simplicidade do modelo. Ademais, este estudo propÃs a implantaÃÃo de dispositivos que melhorassem os critÃrios de licenciamento indicados pela ResoluÃÃo CONAMA 368/2006. Os resultados demonstraram que o uso das etapas sugeridas podem auxiliar no gerenciamento de aquÃferos impactados por necrÃpoles e prevenir o surgimento de novos passivos ambientais em Ãrea urbana. / If inappropriately located or insufficiently protected, the necropolis mean an important problem for public health and contamination risks to aquifers. In Teresina, PiauÃ, the case of the cemetery Areias, located near the ParnaÃba River and close to the water intake for public supply, calls attention to negligence the management of contaminated areas and reflects the current state of aquifers management impacted by necropolis in Brazil. This study indicated the appropriate form of investigation environmental liabilities caused by necropolis. In addition, used the computer modeling of aquifers to improve the diagnosis of contamination, adapting solutions to ensure the quality and simplicity of the model. Furthermore, this study proposed the implementation of devices to improve the licensing criteria set by CONAMA Resolution 368/2006. The results showed that the use of the suggested steps can help manage aquifers impacted by necropolis and prevent the development of new environmental liabilities in urban areas.

Depuis 1999, le Centre de recherches archéologiques de l'Université libre de Bruxelles a entrepris l'étude de la tombe thébaine numéro 29 à Cheikh Abd el-Gourna, construite pour le vizir et maire de la ville Aménémopé sous le règne d'Amenhotep II (vers 1425-1401 av. J.-C.). La fouille du monument, sous la direction du Professeur Roland Tefnin, a été menée suivant deux axes de recherches. Le premier, dans une perspective synchronique, visait à étudier les aménagements et le fonctionnement d'origine de la tombe, sous la 18e dynastie. Le second, dans une perspective diachronique, visait à reconstituer l'histoire du monument et de ses occupations successives jusqu'à l'intervention de la mission. La thèse porte sur les résultats de cette seconde approche, et plus particulièrement sur l'analyse des occupations de l'antiquité tardive et post-antiques. Celles-ci se distinguent par une affectation de l'espace différente de sa fonction d'origine : la tombe n'est plus utilisée comme lieu de sépulture et de culte funéraire mais comme habitation. La fouille a ainsi livré les vestiges d'une installation érémitique datée des VIIe et VIIIe siècles de notre ère, associés à un matériel archéologique et épigraphique particulièrement abondant, ainsi que les ruines d'une maison villageoise construite durant la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle.

This thesis analyzes the structure, technique and iconography of an embroidered burial mantle from Wari Kayan Necropolis on the Paracas Peninsula, Peru, which dates between approximately 100 B.C. and A.D. 100. The mantle is currently in the collection of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City (Accession no. 41.2/632), and will be referred to subsequently as the AMNH mantle. This study will consist of a structural analysis of the burial mantle, addressing the design of the textile and the iconography. In addition to examining the origin and iconography of the double-headed bird motif which appears throughout the mantle, this study analyzes technical and design considerations involved in the creation of the mantle, including style of embroidery, structure, and color repeats. Ethnographic studies of Andean cultures will also be considered in the analysis of the symbolic and ritual aspects of textiles, and how they relate to the symbolic function of the mantle in its burial context.

Esta pesquisa propõe o conceito de \"cidade fictiva\", entendida como a cidade que nasce especificamente da construção estética literária. Tal conceito permite descobrir os alicerces da cidade na literatura a partir dos primeiros textos de criação literária do Ocidente (Enuma Elish, Epopéia de Gilgamesh), para detectar suas principais características e examinar omo estas constituem elementos de construção em contos contemporâneos rasileiros, chilenos e portugueses nos quais se percebe uma idéia de \"conto citadino\". O estudo da cidade fictiva estabelece alguns paradigmas observados em diversos textos, como: La Ciudad está Triste, do escritor chileno Ramón Díaz Etérovic; \"Timotu Kalu\", de Orígenes Lessa; \"Passeio Noturno I e II\", de Rubem Fonseca; e \"A tua véspera de Natal\", do escritor português David Mourão-Ferreira. Junto a esses paradigmas são estabelecidos alguns mundos possíveis da cidade fictiva, surgidos da análise comparativa entre os contos: \"Amor\", de Clarice Lispector, e \"La Elegida\", da chilena Lilian Elphick; \"Una señora\", do chileno José Donoso, e \"Sem Remédio\", de Luiz Ruffato; \"Busca\", de João Antônio, e \"A Bota\", do português José Rodrigues Miguéis. / This research paper puts forward the concept of \"fictive city\", understood as the city that is born specifically of literary aesthetic construction. This concept enables one to discover the foundations of the city in literature as from the earliest texts of literary creation in the West (Enuma Elish, the Gilgamesh Epic), in order to detect their main characteristics and examine how these constitute building blocks of contemporary Brazilian, Chilean and Portuguese tales in which an idea of \"tale from the city\" can be perceived. The study of the fictive city sets out certain paradigms, found in a number of different texts, such as La Ciudad está Triste, by Chilean author Ramón Díaz Etérovic, \"Timotu Kalu\", by Origenes Lessa, \"Passeio Noturno I e II\", by Rubem Fonseca, and \"A tua véspera de Natal\", by Portuguese author David Mourão-Ferreira. In addition to these paradigms, certain possible worlds of the fictive city are established, taken from a comparative analysis of the tales: \"Amor\", by Clarice Lispector, and \"La Elegida\", by Chilean Lilian Elphick; \"Una señora\", by Chilean José Donoso, and \"Sem Remédio\", by Luiz Ruffato; \"Busca\", by João Antônio and \"A Bota\", by Portuguese José Rodrigues Miguéis.

Les rites funéraires pratiqués dans le royaume téménide et ses environs au cours de la période archaïque témoignent de l’usage de pratiques standardisées en lien avec de fortes croyances locales. Les nécropoles pouvaient regrouper un grand nombre de tombes dont le mobilier, souvent riche, était composé de différentes catégories d’objets tels que des vases, des pièces d’armement, des parures, et des miniatures. Des ornements en feuille d’or couvraient les vêtements des défunts et pouvaient orner certains objets. Dans le cas des tombes les plus riches, des masques en or étaient présents. En analysant les informations publiées, nous pouvons mettre en évidence des assemblages d’objets, des thèmes récurrents ainsi que des caractéristiques communes à l’ensemble des nécropoles étudiées tout en soulignant les particularités de chaque site. / The funerary practices used in the Temenid kingdom during the archaic period testify of the use of standardized practices linked to strong local beliefs in the afterlife. In some cases, cemeteries could be particularly vast, and display a variety of funerary artefacts, often richly ornated, like vases, weaponry, jewellery and miniature objects. The wealthiest tombs could also contain funerary masks. If we analyze the data that has been published, it is possible to determine patterns in the selection of objects, recurrent iconographical themes as well as common features linking together these different cemeteries. It is also possible to determine local characteristics present in each site.
