American architect Henry Killam Murphy (1877-1954) dedicated his career to a “Chinese Renaissance” that adapted traditional Chinese architecture to meet technological and programmatic needs. Although previous scholarship has surveyed Murphy’s work, it deserves a closer analysis in order to measure Murphy’s design outcomes against the goals he described. This paper examines archive drawings by Murphy’s office so as to show the architect’s design intent, identifying creative design solutions provided by Murphy and his team that balance traditional architectural principles with modern requirements.

This article discusses the 162-years history of the only known nineteenth-century timber-frame farmers’ market in existence today. Designed by an architect, this immense building required great skill from the tradespeople who built it from old-growth Michigan white pine timbers. No machinery was used in planing the surfaces or cutting the mortise-and-tenon joinery that holds the structure together. It is without question one of the most highly finished and decorated timber frames known to exist today. Its reconstruction in Greenfield Village at the Henry Ford Museum will guarantee its continuing existence for generations to come.

With their playfully pragmatic design for Donkwall, Sebastian Treese Architects has shown a possible way of building in the context of a medieval town while fulfilling the economic requirements of contemporary urban redevelopment. The project as built is informed by and adapted to the old town of Kempen, and its deliberate contradictions and inconsistencies are a sincere response to the pre-existing scale.

Las comunidades otomíes del Valle de Mezquital, en el estado de Hidalgo, construyen sus viviendas con materiales naturales de la región. La planta de maguey es un material que tiene un papel fundamental en la gastronomía y el estilo de vida de estas comunidades indígenas. Este trabajo ofrece una descripción de varios de los sistemas constructivos propios de la región y hace especial hincapié en la cocina tradicional otomí. Además de las cuestiones arquitectónicas y constructivas se analiza el espacio geográfico y las dinámicas sociales de las comunidades otomíes. También se describen tanto las problemáticas políticas y ambientales a las que se enfrentan estos sistemas constructivos tradicionales en la actualidad como los esfuerzos que se están llevando a cabo para documentarlos por su relevancia identitaria, cultural y arquitectónica.

Is it possible to analyze building materials’ culturally specific meanings? How can understanding such meanings be useful in the integration of sustainable building practices in local communities? Our research explores this question with the objective of informing future pathways in the transition to a carbon-neutral built environment including locally sourced materials. Relying on environmental behavior studies and using Rapoport’s methodology for three-tier categorization of meanings, our study examines sociocultural perceptions and behaviors around the use of building materials. It focuses on the case of a Maasai rural community in northern Tanzania with a view ultimately to shedding light on specific practices and innovations in building materials, such as compressed earth blocks, whose use should be considered by architects and designers in preference to counterproductive or non-contextual techniques.

The historic city center of Amsterdam is full of monumental buildings, most of which are dwellings up to 400 years old. Many lives have been lived there, and consequently many alterations have been made. Restoring a canal house is therefore an exercise in reading the past while simultaneously considering the present. Each aspect can require a different approach: conservation, restoration, reconstruction, and even addition. For while the first two involve a static approach to tradition in which heritage is kept accessible to future generations, this is not at odds with the tradition of altering a home to suit current and future needs.

El plomo, uno de los metales más utilizados por el hombre desde la antigüedad, se caracteriza por ser un metal blando, dúctil, maleable y de gran resistencia a la corrosión. Estas características permiten que se pueda trabajar con herramientas manuales de uso común. Las emplomaduras permiten resolver de una forma singularmente duradera las uniones de los elementos meta?licos con las estructuras de fa?brica a las que se anclan. La deformabilidad y la densidad del plomo permiten absorber la transmisión de ondas y las tensiones transmitidas por los movimientos y cambios de volumen del hierro sin que se transmitan a las fa?bricas y sin que e?stas lleguen a fisurarse. A pesar de estas propiedades, se trata de un material en desuso. Este texto presenta un recorrido histórico de su empleo en construcciones históricas y describe tanto sus cualidades como sus técnicas de uso.

A raíz de un estudio sobre los estucos realizados por el histórico líder socialista español Francisco Largo Caballero, estuquista de profesión, así como por otros de sus compañeros de oficio, y tras la prospección de numerosos palacios emblemáticos del siglo XIX y XX de Madrid, se puso de manifiesto la importancia de la investigación histórica en archivos, bibliografías y fotografías, unida a los testimonios de trabajadores y a la realización de calas estratigráficas para poder conocer la decoración original de los interiores de estos edificios, que han sufrido cambios radicales. Los estucos originales de yeso y cal han sido sustituidos sistemáticamente por pinturas plásticas de menor valor práctico e histórico. Como muestra de ello, el palacio de Villamejor no contiene ya estuco alguno; el Banco de España, menos del 5% de los que tuvo en origen; y en el Ministerio del Aire sus decenas de miles de metros cuadrados de estuco al fuego se encuentran pintados.

In an age when the practice of traditional and sacred arts has fallen almost entirely out of fashion, we should ask what relevance these forms of expression have now when so much of art is driven by the notion of modernity. Relevance being a concept centered around what is normal, this article looks at an example of traditional Islamic architecture built in our contemporary age, seeking to re-establish what was once considered normal. The example cited is the shrine of Baba Hassan Din, designed by the architect Kamil Khan Mumtaz and built by the engineers Rizwan Qadeer and Shahid Niaz.
