Synopsis: This literature proposes new ideas and innovations that consider the ultimate Beescape for Meliponaries, with bee comfort at the top of the list of considerations. Thermal comfort is a term of grave concern regarding conservation in Meliponiculture. Often enough, enthusiastic beekeepers are not overly worried about heat dissipation, especially during the summers on the fringes of the tropics. Heat waves in the tropics may leave beekeepers anxious about the stability of the colony's health and population growth. The existing colonies may see the population dwindling rather than growing. We also look at earth tremors, if not earthquakes, in the "ring of fire" zone in The Malay Archipelago and Wallacea regions. Flooding threats in Southeast Asia and Typhoons in the Oceanic Philippines are troubling. Recent reports on landslides leave affected beekeepers very distressed.Addressing these disastrous events and the potential threats is one of the aims of this book. We have scoured the region and examined how different cultures attempt to mitigate their respective regions' drastic and extreme weather. Out of these examples and data collection, we provide a gallery of designs on relevant bee housing that may impact such mitigation that may apply to the relevant type of disaster frequently faced in each region. The reader is afforded a choice of constructive possibilities depending on the availability of materials, site topography, and geography of their Meliponary location.

Der Rabe singt Die Erde swingt.Jeder Tag ist wie ein GedichtWolln wir Zeiten überstehn, verschieden Richtung Winde wehn.Facettenreich das Leben winkt,selbst wenn¿s uns im Momente stinkt. Gedichte so - erlebt, erfunden,holt aus dem Alltag Euch für Stunden.Im Reim der Schnabel mein gewachsen,mal Ernst, wie mutig - auch mit Faxen.

Houses that Sugar Built explores the largely unknown architectural legacy to be found in the ancestral houses of Iloilo, Negros Occidental and Pampanga - the three main sugar-producing provinces of the Philippines. These grand residences have yet to receive international exposure.

MISSA LAUDATE (Gå trygg framåt och lev din längtan) är ett kyrkomusikaliskt material som i sin helhet tar ungefär en timme att framföra. Mässan kan användas antingen i en tema- eller musikgudstjänst (med nattvard) eller som ett fristående musikevenemang i kyrkan, och är skriven för kör, solister, orgel och församling. Det ingår böner, bibeltexter och poesi som skall läsas, reciteras till musik eller sjungas, samt solostycken för orgel. Delar av materialet kan användas som underlag för improvisationer, som kan vara förberedda av musikerna och andra medverkande eller spontant uppstå vid framförandet. Hymner och liturgiska melodier utan körsats eller utskrivet komp är i de flesta fall enkla att harmonisera och ackompanjera på traditionellt vis vid orgel eller piano av en musiker eller körledare. Några sånger kan passa ihop med folkliga eller klassiska soloinstrument eller en improviserande kompgrupp, men huvudinstrumentet i mässan är tänkt att vara kyrkorgel.

Infrastructures of Freedom sheds light on the impact of inadequate public lighting in self-built communities in Cape Town. In democratic South Africa, where infrastructure provision still reflects deeply embedded notions of citizenship, informal neighborhoods with minimal infrastructure provision face challenges beyond access to basic services and opportunities. Fear, the feeling of being forgotten, and living in undignified conditions are among the powerful experiences darkness brings about in these neighborhoods. The book not only reveals these experiences of everynight life, but takes a step further: it considers how the co-production of a solar public lighting project within a community improved everynight life and suggests ways for infrastructure to more successfully articulate citizenship. With a foreword by Christian Schmid and Sophie Oldfield

MARINA TABASSUM Architecture: My Journey is the first book devoted to the Bangladeshi architect Marina Tabassum and her multifaceted architectural oeuvre.Marina Tabassum's exploratory approach makes her architectural practice one of the outstanding contemporary positions internationally. Her diverse oeuvre spans from governmental projects to housing and has brought her numerous honors and accolades in the international field of architecture.This volume presents various public and private building projects that Marina Tabassum has worked on since 1995, first with the architectural office URBANA and since 2005 through Marina Tabassum Architects (MTA). The selection of her architecture in this book ranges from early projects in the city of Dhaka shortly after completing her studies at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), such as the Museum of Independence and the celebrated Bait Ur Rouf Mosque, to recent mobile modular structures called Khudi Bari. Tabassum is establishing the latter for the people affected by displacement in various geographically and climatically challenged locations-both in the Ganges Delta and in the Rohingya refugee camp at Cox's Bazar on the border to Myanmar, which is currently the largest refugee camp in the world.The internationally renowned authors reflect on various perspectives and interpretations of Tabassum's work. Besides the historical and political background, the contributions deal, among other things, with spotlighting particular architectural elements that pervade Tabassum's work, such as place and memory, light and spirituality, brick and materiality, and people and community.With contributions by Sean Anderson, Vera Simone Bader, Kareem Ibrahim, Hanif Kara, Andres Lepik, Nondita Correa Mehrotra, Tanzil Shafique, Cristina Steingräber, Marina Tabassum, Sarah M. Whiting, and Danny Wicaksono.

Ihre zeitlose Schönheit und ganzheitliche Gestaltung macht die Häuser rund ums das Mittelmeer zum Inbegriff guten Wohnens.Mediterrane Häuser beeinflussen und bestimmen seit der Römerzeit die westliche Wohnkultur und Raumgestaltung. Das Buch zeigt Häuser und Innenräume, zwischen Griechenland und Portugal, Italien und Marokko.

Egal ob die Einrichtung der Häuser rustikal oder elegant, puristisch oder verspielt ist, stets sorgen Möbel und Einrichtungsgegenstände für eine unverwechselbare mediterrane Atmosphäre und das Innenleben dieser Häusern ist so wichtig wie ihre Außenbereiche, denn auf ihren Terrassen und Balkonen in Gärten findet das Leben im Freien statt, hier wird entspannt, gegessen, gefeiert und lustvoll gelebt.

In never-before-published photographs from the archives of the New Haven Colony Historical Society, New Haven: Reshaping the City, 1900-1980 portrays the twentieth-century changes that altered the face of a major Connecticut port.New Haven, as its name implies, has always strived to be a place of betterment for its citizens. Its Puritan founders wanted to make it a religious utopia. Its Colonial leaders transformed its shallow harbor into a shipping port and worked to bring Yale University to town. Nineteenth-century entrepreneurs won industrial fame for the city with the manufacturing of arms, hardware, and carriages. By 1900, New Haven was home to thousands of new immigrants seeking a better life. It is no surprise, then, that as the century proceeded, local leaders tried to create a model city. This time, however, the tools of progress were the bulldozer, the wrecking ball, and millions of dollars from the U.S. government. It was called urban redevelopment. In never-before-published photographs from the archives of the New Haven Colony Historical Society, New Haven: Reshaping the City, 1900-1980 portrays the twentieth-century changes that altered the face of a major Connecticut port. The book spotlights the bustling shops of downtown, the crowded flea markets on Oak Street, and the other neighborhoods that lost and gained most during this period of swift and remarkable change: State Street, Church and Chapel Streets, Wooster Square, Long Wharf, Dixwell and Newhallville, Fair Haven, the Hill, and Dwight Street, among others.

Ein umfassendes Referenzwerk zum traditionellen Bauen Vom Pueblo zum Fachwerkhaus oder dem japanischen Minka - traditionelle Bauweisen zeigen eine faszinierende Vielfalt und prägen mit ihrem Erscheinungsbild das Gesicht von Regionen. Doch im Zuge der Globalisierung werden sie vieler Orts zurückgedrängt. Gerade in den sich am schnellsten entwickelnden Ländern geht ein jahrhundertealter Erfahrungsschatz unwiederbringlich verloren, der auch für modernes Bauen von Interesse ist. Am Beispiel von ausgewählten Wohnbauten aus allen Kontinenten zeigen 30 internationale Experten, warum wir noch immer von diesen traditionellen Bauweisen lernen können: Sie analysieren den kulturellen Kontext, die Anpassung an topografisch-klimatische Gegebenheiten und legen ihr Augenmerk auf die verwendeten lokalen Materialien und die Konstruktion, den Bauprozess und den notwendigen Unterhalt. Zahlreiche Beispiele vernakulärer Wohnbauten aus allen fünf Kontinenten Mehr als 1000 eindrucksvolle Farbfotografien und detaillierte Planzeichnungen Auch auf Englisch erhältlich
