This paper studies the street and block plans of Mohenjodaro and Sirkap of Pakistan, and Thimi of Kathmandu Valley. Mohenjodaro was a reknowned city of Indus civilization, while Sirkap of Taxila, was an important cultural center in later half of first millennium BC. While both of the cities are archaeological remains, Thimi is still a living town. The three cities, apparently separated by enormous time span and geographic space, exhibit certain features that is striking to draw the attention of archaeologists and urban historians. This study finds that all the three settlements employ exactly the same grid dimension in making the division of urban blocks. The standard modules conform to ′danda′ and ′rajju′, which are stated in Arthasastra, the work of Kautilya who lived during the later quarter of 4th century BC. This paper makes a morphological analysis of the revealed plans of Mohenjodaro, Sirkap and Thimi, and demonstrates a relationship in their town plan, the division of quarter blocks and the plot divisions as shown by the built clusters and street boundaries. This is the first direct evidence to link the urban civilization of Indus with the living settlements that continue to exist up to modern times.

This paper aims to illustrate the design review process of ″General Construction Companies″ (GCCs) and ″Design Firms″ (DFs) in Japan. It then quantitatively evaluates the time duration for the production of ″design and supportive documents″ which is required to go through a design review. The research is divided into three stages. First, the constraints in the design process in both GCCs and DFs are illustrated. Second, the duration of each design phase is measured to assess the allocation of resources for design coordination required by the constraints. Third, the most commonly shared building types in the survey were evaluated based on the ″designed floor area per month.″The survey statistically confirms the characteristics of the front-loaded design process by GCCs in the Preliminary Design phase to the Detailed Design Phase. GCCs have more cost and time constraints than DFs, through the involvement of the Cost Estimation and Procurement division in the construction department. It requires the production of ″design and supportive documents″ throughout the design process. On the contrary, DFs tend to spend more time and resources in the later part of the design process. This grants DFs more flexibility in cost and time throughout the design process as they have less strict constraints than GCCs.

The masonry arch is one of the oldest structural designs used to span openings of considerable length. Although a variety of forms of brick masonry arches have been used for aesthetic reasons throughout the history of architecture, the unique employment of simple geometric forms is conspicuous in Louis Kahn′s buildings. In particular, Kahn has distinctively used overlaid circles cut into the building façade for window openings. The research elaborates on how Kahn juxtaposed circular shapes for the design of window openings in his buildings, particularly in the Indian Institute of Management (1962-74) and National Capital Complex in Bangladesh (1962-83).

The present paper attempts to clarify the characteristics of the modern Filipino style which was introduced by leading architects following World War II. The primary questions examined herein are as follows: 1) what is the background of the quest for Filipino style, 2) what are the sources of design connected with this tradition, and 3) how modernists designed structures according to their own design methods. Among leading Filipino architects, Leandro V. Locsin and Francisco Manosa are outstanding figures who embraced the possibility of a Filipino style that was based on their culture and gave clear direction to modern design.

This paper first discusses the fundamental notion of shape morphing and morphing techniques. Then it sets out to introduce early applications of the notion in architecture. Antoni Gaudi′s Sagrada Familia Cathedral in Spain and Le Corbusier′s Firminy Chapel in France are examined with regard to shape morphing. The examination seeks to cast new light on the significance of the two designs whose morphing method has become the legacy of an innovative characteristic of considerable contemporary architecture.

Kings Road House has become an icon of early modern architecture. This innovative house, described by Schindler as ″a cooperative dwelling for two young couples″, was considered by Reyner Banham to be a totally new beginning. Although many papers devoted to the house have been published, no research has been conducted into its relationship with the interpreted characteristics of Japanese architecture or the sources from which Schindler may have obtained information about Japan in 1921 without ever having traveled to the country. In this paper, the authors hope to clarify the matter and shed new light on some of the elements of Japanese architecture found in Schindler′s House, including the aspects of sun and light control. This was done through research into original documents in archives in California and with the help of contemporary simulation tools, duly tested by means of on-site measurements. The results show clear similarities between key concepts of Schindler House and descriptions of Japanese architecture. Some of these concepts have been considered essential elements of Schindler architecture and were subsequently reproduced in other houses in California.

This paper examines the "complexity" of space in Agoras by analyzing their architecture using image-processing technology. Agoras were central to the lives of Western European people and can be called the starting point of Western European civilization. Image processing technology was used to perform the initial restoration of the architecture and city shape. Each building in the 3D model of the plaza was then constructed, centering on the formation of the Agora. The box-counting method was used to determine the relationship between the shadow image and the fractal analysis of the 3D plaza composition. This was applied in the fractal analysis of the changes in the arrangement of the facilities from generation to collapse.

This paper studies landscape recognition of the Kamakura historical area by inhabitants. A region is composed of sets of individual events with a broad range of scales. Such embodiments constitute the regional environment that is made up of both nature and man-made structures. In a regional environment, the sharing of these mental spaces is considered to be a necessary precondition for regional coexistence. This study focused on landscape recognition as a shared mental space. A cognitive region map is drawn using the results of a questionnaire, and this map reveals the inhabitants′ recognition of the landscape. A visualization model was used to analyze the area′s environment and the relationships with the inhabitants′ recognition of the landscape. This paper quantifies the urban forms of the regional environment using fractal dimensional analyses of aerial photographs and considers their relationships to the inhabitant′s cognizance of the landscape. Therefore, the objective area of the fractal analysis is extended to include the region of ″a landscape, which has the identity of Kamakura,″ and ″a place that has changed (recognition),″ In this paper, the above analysis was used to quantify complex urban forms. The paper evaluates landscape recognition and the relationships of the urban forms in terms of the continuity of the fractal dimensions.
