In October of 2004, the Museo de Medicina Laboral (Museum of Labor Medicine), opened to the public in Real del Monte, State of Hidalgo, Mexico. The museum, located on the grounds of what had been the Hospital Minero (Mining Hospital), was a building complex conceived, built, and operationalized at the height of Mexico’s Industrial Revolution and the region’s only medical facility specializing in the healthcare needs of miners and their families. Utilizing historical analysis, the hospital reveals contradictions frequently embodied by the era’s Modernist built environments. Inaugurated in 1907, the hospital was the culmination of the United States Smelting Refining and Mining Company (USSRMC) and its Mexican subsidiary, Compañía Real del Monte y Pachuca’s (CRMyP) efforts to bring healthcare to its employees while maximizing production. On one hand, the hospital’s design and operation expressed an optimism wrought by the dissemination of positivist and utilitarian philosophies and economic growth spurred by technological innovation; on the other, growing wealth inequality and deteriorating, often brutal, labor conditions. Nearly 120 years later, the hospital again embodies a global reality. In contemporary post-industrialist economies, once these built environments cease being productive, they are usually abandoned or demolished; only a few are transformed and repositioned for other uses. As the region’s mining industry ceased productivity, the hospital was first abandoned and later rescued by a newly privatized enterprise that donated the medical building complex to a non-for-profit civil association focused on mining heritage. Now the Museum, an architectural expression that fused global and local economic, technological, and aesthetic sensibilities, has become an example of commodified didactic heritage.
2004年10月，在墨西哥伊达尔戈州的Real del Monte, Museo de Medicina Laboral(劳动医学博物馆)向公众开放。该博物馆位于Minero医院(采矿医院)的原址上，是在墨西哥工业革命高峰期构思、建造和运营的建筑综合体，也是该地区唯一一家专门为矿工及其家属提供医疗保健需求的医疗机构。利用历史分析，医院揭示了现代主义建筑环境经常体现的矛盾。该医院于1907年落成，是美国冶炼和采矿公司(USSRMC)及其墨西哥子公司Compañía Real del Monte y Pachuca (CRMyP)努力在最大限度地提高生产的同时为员工提供医疗保健的高潮。一方面，医院的设计和运营表现了实证主义和功利主义哲学的传播和技术创新推动的经济增长所带来的乐观主义;另一方面，财富不平等加剧，劳动条件不断恶化，而且往往很残酷。近120年后，这家医院再次体现了一个全球性的现实。在当代后工业主义经济中，一旦这些建筑环境不再具有生产力，它们通常被遗弃或拆除;只有少数被改造和重新定位为其他用途。由于该地区的采矿业停产，该医院最初被遗弃，后来被一家新私有化的企业拯救，该企业将医疗大楼捐赠给了一家专注于采矿遗产的非营利性民间协会。现在的博物馆，一个融合了全球和当地经济、技术和审美敏感性的建筑表达，已经成为商品化教学遗产的一个例子。

As modes of work are becoming more diverse and distributed, it necessitates a revaluation of the approaches taken in designing of future workplaces. This paper argues that we are moving towards work practices that are post-digital, hybrid and collaborative in nature, requiring a closer examination of the values and requirements expected for such a workplace. In this light, the paper presents a Systematic Literature Review of research pertinent to workplace dynamics, design and management within the last decade. Two themes of ‘quality of life and satisfaction’ and ‘productivity and collaboration’ were found to be key areas of focus in literature. Collectively factors contributing to work dynamics and performance under these two themes were: crowding, degree of connectivity, degree of sociability, employee culture and perception of work, fatigue and stress, indoor environmental quality, motivation, conditions of the remote site of work, degree and culture of communication, degree of control, distractions with non-work related content, infrastructure for effective communication and interaction, mobility and flexibility, office layout and degree of spaciousness, and work and cognitive load. These raised a number of expectations for the workplace, which this paper argues renders the future workplace as a tempo-spatial phenomenon, juxtaposing constructs of the personal/individual with the social collective, dysconnectivity with connectivity and asynchrony with synchrony within a network of functions distributed across physical and digital spaces of work.

Universal Design came into prominence as a successor to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), contributing to broader notions of accessibility beyond baseline codes and standards. Rooted in human factors research, Universal Design primarily centers on supporting human performance through the development of accessible and usable environments (Steinfeld and Maisel 2012, 95-96). As such, Universal Design pedagogies predominantly focus on enhancing environments for people with disabilities and aging populations (O Shea 2018, 721; Steinfeld and Maisel 2012, 49). However, some believe Universal Design is on the cusp of a paradigm shift to address broader aspects of social justice (Salmen 2012; Steinfeld and Maisel 2012, 159-160). This paper synthesizes existing literature to explore how current academic and practice-facing Universal Design pedagogies support the movement’s expansion to address social justice across demographic groups. Critical audiences for this work include architectural educators, students, researchers, policymakers, and building professionals interested in advancing the theory and practice of Universal Design. Recommendations from this work reposition Universal Design pedagogies as a pathway for creating more equitable and inclusive buildings, spaces, and communities that are truly designed for all.
通用设计作为《美国残疾人法案》(ADA)的继承者而变得突出，为超越基准代码和标准的更广泛的可访问性概念做出了贡献。通用设计植根于人的因素研究，主要侧重于通过开发可访问和可用的环境来支持人的绩效(Steinfeld and Maisel 2012, 95-96)。因此，通用设计教学法主要侧重于改善残疾人和老年人的环境(O Shea 2018, 721;Steinfeld and Maisel 2012, 49)。然而，一些人认为通用设计正处于解决社会正义更广泛方面的范式转变的风口浪尖(Salmen 2012;Steinfeld and Maisel 2012, 159-160)。本文综合现有文献，探讨当前面向学术和实践的通用设计教学法如何支持该运动的扩展，以解决跨人口群体的社会正义问题。这本书的主要读者包括建筑教育工作者、学生、研究人员、政策制定者和对推进通用设计理论和实践感兴趣的建筑专业人士。这项工作的建议将通用设计教学法重新定位为创造更加公平和包容的建筑、空间和社区的途径，这些建筑、空间和社区真正为所有人设计。

The culture of the architectural design studio continues, in large part, to be based on centuries old traditions. Research on teaching, learning and bias suggest, however, that a rethinking of these traditions is long overdue if we aim to create inclusive learning environments and diversify our profession. Drawing on recent research on the cultivation of expertise, student motivation and stereotype threat, this essay considers how we might rethink design studio instruction. Studies on the development of expertise suggest a critical re-imagining of the instructor’s role in design studios. Research on student motivation suggests that many of the traditional practices of architectural education inevitably leave students unmotivated and need to be reconsidered. Finally, research on the ways in which stereotypes impact academic performance illuminate some of the roadblocks to diversifying our classrooms and profession. This essay shares evidence-based strategies to address these roadblocks and traditions to develop a more inclusive and effective design studio culture.

This essay posits the role that the spaces for architectural production have played in supporting a design ethos that has historically neglected our relationship with the Land, and how its reconceptualization could contribute to a ‘spiritual and cultural’ shift through a placed-based ethical framework. More specifically, the space where design typically takes place is most often described in English as the “studio”, a term that has been adopted by universities and professional offices alike, and is broadly considered the core of architectural education and production around the world. Yet, surprisingly, we rarely question - why a “studio”? What is the nature of a “studio” exactly, and how does this potentially impact how we teach design and, subsequently, what we design? Can an element of the sacred infiltrate the spaces of architectural production in the twenty-first century in an effort to prioritize the flourishing of all life on our planet, and how can Indigenous knowledge guide us along this path? The essay first examines the history of the “studio” and questions its ongoing relevance, as well as recent alternatives. This is followed by a proposition for the concept of a “design lodge” that might best be able to inspire “transformational” change in architectural education by transcending conventional fixations on object-centred design.

Urbanization and building production that accelerate with globalization, cause excessive resource consumption and waste generation. The circular economy concept which is a contemporary economy approach, has been developed to solve this environmental and economic problem. The construction sector and architectural practice that provide building production need innovative solutions through the circular economy concept, as they consume different resources and produce waste crises. The circular economy concept is applied with the "adaptive reuse" approach in the field of architecture. One of the important applications of the concept of adaptive reuse is the reuse of architectural elements and materials. However, the relationship between the concept of circular economy and the reuse of architectural elements can be developed by examining several recent projects and its advantages. In this article, it is aimed to examine the relationship of this architectural reuse approach with the circular economy concept and to emphasize its importance. For this purpose, the theoretical perspectives and effects of circular economy were examined in the first part of the article, and the reflections of the circular economy concept on architecture were given in the second part. This section continues with description of the comparative analysis methodology that relates the building life cycle and circular economy principles to examine the architectural projects built as an example of circular economy paradigm. In the third chapter, two architectural sample projects built in China and France were selected and introduced. Being pioneers in their countries in circular economy approaches and the different environmental policies of countries have been effective in the selection of examples from different geographies. The fourth part consists of analyzing the projects according to circular economy parameters using comparative analysis method. In the last section, analysis results show that although China is one of the pioneers in adopting circular economy principles with architectural design and building life cycle, it has been found that France considers circular economy design from a broader perspective. Also, the design approach with circular economy criteria in different stage of building life cycle is gaining momentum over the years through national and local governments and collaborations. It is recommended that technological design systems such as BIM can be developed as integrated cloud systems that can share information from other sectors. Because the building life cycle is not only related to the architecture and construction sector. It is a cyclical system and economy that works with different sectors such as supply and waste management.

Plastics present a vast and pressing issue in modern society. Currently recycling efforts fall dangerously short of dealing with even a small percent of the millions of tons of plastic waste produced yearly across the globe. This article investigates resistance toward plastic recycling in three areas from both a contemporary and a historical context, highlighting the magnitude of the problem and the insufficient nature of current solutions. The three primary areas covered are the plastics problem from (1) a design perspective, (2) a material science perspective, and (3) a systems perspective. Solutions are proposed that emphasize a synergistic collaboration across disciplines and research modes. Ultimately, the conclusions point to a need for stronger engagement at the level of people (both consumers and decision makers) and reintegrating reused and recycled plastics into everyday life to build a solid foundation for success.

Waste is a modern global crisis. The world is drowning in an unprecedented amount of waste due to an increasing linear economy model that drive societies to consume more every day. It was reported that the average American citizen consume nearly 32 times more that the average Indian citizen. Companies, businesses, and corporates are continuously racing to deplete the planet’s natural resources in an astonishing rate. The design and construction sector alone is responsible for 30-40% of total solid waste worldwide, yet as architects, designers, and planners the waste problem is almost absent from the current discourse, both in practice and academia. Beyond sustainability, and if ideas such as the Dutch “CircularCity” become more appealing to architects, designers, and clients, the architectural education must adopt a transformational shift in the design thinking process to prepare a more responsible future architect. A shift from goal-oriented design to means-oriented design requires a shift in the design education, and the studio pedagogy. A transformation is needed in education, practice, research, and the related professions to address the current and emerging economic challenges more so post crises and pandemics, and through the built environment lens. It is time to define the role of architecture and design in the circular economy paradigm shift.

LIFE CERSUDS is a project carried out over the period 2016-2019 whom the main objective was to improve the ability of cities to adapt to climate change by promoting the use of green infrastructures in the renewal of urban environments. Under the project, an innovative permeable urban pavement (hereinafter, CERSUDS) was designed using ceramic tile stock of low commercial value. This pavement solution was tested in a demonstrator in the town of Benicí ssim. The main objective of the project was to improve the ability of cities to adapt to climate change by promoting the use of green infrastructures in the renewal of urban environments. Under the project, a Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) was built as a demonstrator in the town of Benicí ssim, using ceramic tile stock of low commercial value to manufacture an innovative permeable floor (hereinafter, CERSUDS flooring), a subject already dealt with in an earlier presentation at this congress . Once the demonstrator had been built, a monitoring period was run between August 2018 and July 2019, which enabled both the CERSUDS floor and the demonstrator's value as a rainwater management system to be validated. This article presents the design process of the ceramic permeable pavement including the main results of the tests carried in the laboratory and the main results of the project relate to: environmental and economic assessment of the CERSUDS system, user's validation of the system, monitoring of the system's mechanical performance and permeability, and monitoring of the demonstrator's hydraulic response in terms of the quantity and quality of run-off water.
LIFE CERSUDS项目于2016年至2019年期间开展，主要目标是通过在城市环境更新中促进绿色基础设施的使用，提高城市适应气候变化的能力。在该项目下，采用低商业价值的瓷砖材料设计了一种创新型透水城市路面(以下简称CERSUDS)。这种路面解决方案在Benicí ssim镇的一个示威者身上进行了测试。该项目的主要目标是通过在城市环境更新中促进绿色基础设施的使用，提高城市适应气候变化的能力。在该项目下，可持续城市排水系统(SUDS)作为示范在Benicí ssim镇建成，使用低商业价值的瓷砖库存制造创新的透水地板(以下简称CERSUDS地板)，这一主题已经在本次大会的早期介绍中讨论过。示范系统建成后，将在2018年8月至2019年7月期间进行监测，从而验证CERSUDS地板和示范系统作为雨水管理系统的价值。本文介绍了陶瓷透水路面的设计过程，包括在实验室进行的主要测试结果和项目的主要结果，包括:CERSUDS系统的环境和经济评估，用户对系统的验证，系统的机械性能和透气性的监测，以及在径流水量和质量方面对演示器的水力响应的监测。

As developing nations continue to progress, people of these countries face problems of shortages in building materials and rising production of solid waste. The purpose of this research study is to explore the potential of establishing a circular economy by recycling/reusing solid waste as alternative building materials. Focused on the slum of Dharavi in Mumbai, a settlement well-known for its existing recycling business, this article explores the concept of a circular economy utilizing local informal labor by considering the flow of waste materials in the slum. This article presents an analysis of the case studies where waste is reused as a building product and identifies the gaps, advantages, and disadvantages related to how and where the building materials from the case studies could be adapted in the context of the Dharavi slum.
