گستافلو در رمان مادام بواری در ابتدای اون رمان دانشآموز تازه وارد به کلاسی رو کلاهشو توصیف میکنه توصیف این کلاه تقریباً دو صفحه از اون رمان طول می‌کشه. امروز که حدود ۱۷ سال از نوشتن اون رمان می‌گذره، هنوز طرفدارانش موفق نشدن به نتیجه مشترکی در تجسم اون کلاه برسن. هرچه بیشتر طلاح شده نتایج دورتر شده شاید دلیلش اینه که فلوبر که در ظاهر به شکل اول شخص جمع کلاه رو توصیف کرده توصیف کلاه توصیفی از طرف تمام همکلاسی‌ها یک روایت جمعیه که ترکیبیه از تمام این تکصداها ها و این تکداها هیچ‌وقت در تجسم هیچ‌کس به یه کلاه ت ...

TEDx Talks· 2025-11-17 17:25
Architectural Design Philosophy - The design aims to create a neighborhood-like environment within the school, blurring the lines between classroom corridors and play areas [1] - The design intentionally avoids a traditional enclosed schoolyard, opting for a space that integrates elements of home, school, and the surrounding environment [1] - The design incorporates "mud play areas" that function like neighborhood squares, encouraging interaction and play [1] - The architect challenges the notion of architecture as providing definitive answers, instead advocating for designs that keep questions and possibilities open [2] - The design promotes a labyrinthine layout, encouraging exploration and discovery, contrasting with the transparent and easily controlled structure of traditional schools [2] Educational Approach - The school emphasizes student independence, confidence, and self-reliance, believing that these qualities contribute to personal growth [1] - The school environment is designed to feel like home, with features like carpeted floors to promote comfort and a sense of belonging [1] - The school acknowledges that forced learning is ineffective, allowing students the freedom to choose their activities and learn at their own pace [2] - The school challenges the traditional model of education, which it argues has historically focused on standardization and separation [2] - The school views play as the primary occupation of children, integrating it into the learning environment [2]
Awakening Climate Empathy Through Architecture | Vikram Sami | TEDxQuito
TEDx Talks· 2025-11-17 16:44
Climate change is the biggest challenge that we face as humanity. It's an existential threat and yet we don't seem to be responding fast enough to it. And I believe that the way we design our built environment contributes to it.We've isolated ourselves from the climate. Therefore, we don't see what's happening to the climate on a day-to-day basis and we care less about it. We've developed what I call climate apathy.A recent article in the New York Times titled How Air Conditioning Conquered North America, E ...

Architectural Design & Urban Planning - Architecture is often treated as capital, with buildings viewed as assets and land as investment, prioritizing profit over emotional and social value [2] - Public spaces are shrinking while glass towers are increasing, indicating a shift away from designing for people and towards maximizing property value [3] - Subtle architectural elements, such as narrow sidewalks and benches without backrests, can negatively impact people's experience and sense of belonging [3][4] - The lack of legal requirements for design diversity in some regions, like Korea, leads to monotonous architecture and reduced aesthetic value [8][9] - Korean building regulations, requiring buildings to stand apart by 0.5% of their height for sunlight and fire safety, can create undesirable and impractical spaces [9] Societal Impact of Architecture - The built environment significantly impacts people's well-being, similar to how positive or negative interactions affect living organisms [6][7] - Neglecting the emotional and social aspects of architecture can lead to people feeling ignored and disconnected from their surroundings [6] - Architecture should prioritize inclusion and interaction to maximize happiness within society, rather than focusing solely on financial gain or awards [13] - Historically, Asian architecture often prioritized community service and collaboration over individual recognition, focusing on the architecture's impact [15] - The industry should encourage society to consider the impact of architecture and strive for better buildings that prioritize people's needs and well-being [17]
