The document discusses cities and settlements during three ancient periods - Assyrian, Egyptian, and Roman.
For the Assyrian period, the emergence of Neo-Assyrians led to territorial expansion and new levels of urban development. Cities fell into three categories - continuously existing, re-founded, and new foundations. Regional planning shifted north for access to agricultural land and water supply. Cities featured a citadel with a temple-palace unit separated from the rest of the settlement.
During the Egyptian period, the city of Amarna was built as the new capital by Akhenaten for his Aten religion. It was laid out with residential and administrative areas, temples, and a workmen's village.

Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect, designer, writer, and educator. He designed more than 1,000 structures over a creative period of 70 years.
Wrightt believed in designing in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture.
This philosophy was best exemplified by Fallingwater (1935), which has been called the best all-time work of American architecture. As a founder of organic architecture, Wright played a key role in the architectural movements of the twentieth century, influencing three generations of architects worldwide through his works.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:

2. Neo-Assyrians emerged as formidable
power (10th century)--> territorial
expansion & political consolidation
Reached new levels of size and
grandeur, funded by wealth of
conquest (to about 600 BC)
3 categories of Assyrian cities:
Continuously existing settlement
(Assur)
Re-founded settlement (Nimrud, Nineveh)
New foundation (Khorsabad)
3. Patterns in regional
planning
Shift toward N. Mesopotamia--> late
10th century
Need for agricultural land--> large
populations need sufficient water
supply
Agricultural surplus possible
Greater degree of topographical
variation
S. Mesopotamia--> flat, less water, not as
much farmable land
“Southern versus a northern tradition”
4. Intentional avoidance of the
high mound settlement?
Evidence in one inscription-->
Sargon orders removal from
mounds and re-build at bottom
Height reserved for cities of
higher rank? Symbolic importance
8. Patterns in Urban
Planning
Characteristics of Neo-Assyria
Massive size compared to previous
Complex central administration
Greater concentration of people
Size does not necessarily equal
population--> space devoted to
gardens,grazing land, etc.
Location near rivers--> control
waterway
New urban form--> citadel with closely-
linked temple-palace unit, separated
from rest of town by height or walls
9. New urban form-->
Citadel (Palace/Temple)
Palace given increased space--> I.e..
importance
Ramp--> bring king to door of his palace,
easier for chariots to rush/defend
citadel
Temple importance still relevant,
ziggurat’s height still rivals other
structures
Symbolic significance--> Close
relations between administrative and
religious institutions
King as high priest, national religion
10. Khorsabad: A Case study
Site not previously built upon
Uniquely Built--> continuous sequence
Records well kept--> Sargon
King closely involved in process
Provincial governor responsible for project
Borrowed funds from private lenders
Exalts grandeur of project & city
Choice of location (Reasons?):
Better Administrative control of Northern
fertile land
Assert imperial presence
Close to Nineveh
Water supply--> no more advantage than
elsewhere
11. Why Khorsabad?
No topographical advantage
River location not unique
More irregularities (intentional?)
Temple of Nabu out of alignment with
all other citadel structures--> planets?
Seven gates assymmetrical,
uneven/random locations, no relation
to road system outside city
Citadel meets fortification wall at
slanted angle
Quadrilateral shape of Khorsabad
Most mesopotamian ground plans were
square?
12. cosmological
Mesopotamian tradition of seeing
universe as square, reflected in
ground plans
Neo-Assyrians knowingly reject this,
stands out--> new cosmological
meanings for them?
New expression of Imperial ideology,
identity, Organization--> unite
administrative/religious roles of king

27. roman
civilizationIntroduction –
The Etruscan were the early settlers of west –
central part of Italy. But latter on, the roman
occupied the whole part of it. The ancient capital
Rome founded near river Tiber was protected by
seven surrounding hills.
the country is located
centrally in Europe and is very mountainous.
the romans were not seafaring people and
colonists like the Greeks. They did not depend on
mere colonization but they conquered first by
war and then ruled by law.
28. Roman architecture
The architecture of romans was essentially an art
of shaping space around rituals. Many structures
were utilitarian type such as acqueducts and
bridges.
the plans were complex in appearance
and hidden in design and display in impression of
vastness. for example ‘thermae’ ‘amphitheaters’
‘basilicas’ etc.
29. TOWN PLANNING
The provinces, and above all the western provinces
of the Roman Empire, tell us even more than Italy
about Roman town planning.
They contain many towns which were founded
full-grown, or re-founded and at the same time
rebuilt, and which were in either case laid out on the
Roman plan.
But the modern successors of these towns have
rarely kept the network of their ancient streets in
recognizable detail. Though walls, gates, temples,
baths, palaces, amphitheaters still stand stubbornly
erect amidst a flood of modern dwellings, they are
but the islands which mark a
submerged area.
30. Timgad
The town of Thamugadi, now Timgad, lay on the
northern skirts of Mount Aurès, halfway between
Constantine and Biskra and about a hundred miles
from the Mediterranean coast.
The town grew. Soon after the middle of the
second century it was more than half a mile in width
from east to west, and its extent from north to
south,
The first settlement was smaller. So far as it
has been uncovered by French archaeologists—
sufficiently for our purpose, though not
completely—the 'colonia' of Trajan appears to have
been some 29 or 30 acres in extent within the walls
and almost square in outline (360 x 390 yds.).
31. diminished by the space needed for public
buildings, though it is not easy to tell how great this
space was in the original town.
The blocks themselves measured square of 70 Roman
feet (23 x 23 yards), and may have contained one, two,
three, or even four houses apiece, but they have
undergone so many changes that their original
arrangements are not at all clear.
The streets which divided these blocks were 15
to 16 ft. wide; the two main streets, which ran to the
principal gates, were further widened by colonnades
and paved with superior flagging. All the streets had
well-built sewers beneath them.
32. It was entered by four
principal gates, three of
which can still be traced
quite clearly, and which
stood in the middle of
their respective sides;
the position of the south
gate is doubtful.
33. STREET PATTERN
The interior of the town was divided by
streets into a chess-board pattern of small
square house-blocks; from north to south
there were twelve such blocks and from east
to west eleven—not twelve, as is often
stated.

38. GREEK ARCHITECTURE
Ancient Greek architecture is best known from
its temples, many of which are found throughout
the region, mostly as ruins but many
substantially intact. The second important type
of building that survives all over the Hellenic
world is the open-air theatre, with the earliest
dating from around 350 BC. Other
architectural forms that are still in evidence
are the processional gateway (propylon), the
public square (agora) surrounded by storied
colonnade (stoa), the town council building
(bouleuterion), the public monument, the
monumental tomb (mausoleum) and the stadium.
40. ATHENS
the leading city of Ancient Greece in the
first millennium BC and its cultural
Athens is one of the oldest named cities
in the world, having been continuously
inhabited for at least 7000 years.
Situated in southern Europe, Athens
became achievements during the 5th
century BC laid the foundations of
western civilization
41. PLANNING
Athens grew from its focal
point, the Acropolis, which
became the ceremonial center
of the city-state, decked with
temples including the
Parthenon.
It has organic plan.
Propylea, is the main entrance
gate at Athens.
42. Agora was the center of Athenian
life. Laid out in the 6th century
B.C., northwest of the Acropolis,
it was a square lined by public
buildings, which served Athens'
needs for commerce and politics.
The streets of Athens as
narrow and tortuous, unpaved,
unlighted, and more like a chaos
of mud and sewage than even
the usual Greek road.
44. • The placement of buildings were decided on
natural factors such as the morphology
of the land
• For eg. The theatres were generally built
around a slope to provide natural seating.
• The Agora was built over a flat surface.
• The houses were generally placed along
the southern slope and part of Acropolis
facing the sea.
