This document discusses courtyards in Indian context. It defines courtyards and their roles in buildings. It describes different types of traditional courtyards found in India and their functions. It discusses the importance of courtyards in ancient Indian texts like Vastushastra. It then outlines the history of courtyards dating back to 6500 BC and their use as focal points in early settlements. It also discusses the religious, climatic, social and cultural implications of courtyards. It notes the influence of British architecture and reasons for disappearance of courtyards in modern times. Finally, it concludes that while some new designs attempt to recreate courtyard principles, they often lack the characteristics of traditional courtyards.

a ppt presenting abt two different types of housing. these housing are completely contrast in their charaters when compared to its environmental characteristics and requirements.
Lawrence Wilfred "Laurie" Baker (2 March 1917 – 1 April 2007) was a British-born Indian architect, renowned for his initiatives in cost-effective energy-efficient architecture and designs that maximized space, ventilation and light and maintained an uncluttered yet striking aesthetic sensibility. Influenced by Mahatma Gandhi and his own experiences in the remote Himalayas, he promoted the revival of regional building practices and use of local materials; and combined this with a design philosophy that emphasized a responsible and prudent use of resources and energy. He was a pioneer of sustainable architecture as well as organic architecture, incorporating in his designs even in the late 1960s, concepts such as rain-water harvesting, minimizing usage of energy-inefficient building materials, minimizing damage to the building site and seamlessly merging with the surroundings. Due to his social and humanitarian efforts to bring architecture and design to the common man, his honest use of materials, his belief in simplicity in design and in life, and his staunch Quaker belief in non-violence, he has been called the "Gandhi of architecture".[1]
He moved to India in 1945 in part as an architect associated with a leprosy mission and continued to live and work in India for over 50 years. He became an Indian citizen in 1989 and resided in Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum), Kerala from 1969 and served as the Director of COSTFORD (Centre of Science and Technology for Rural Development), an organisation to promote low-cost housing.Baker was born into a staunch Methodist family, the youngest son of Birmingham Gas Department's chief accountant, Charles Frederick Baker and Millie Baker. His early schooling was at King Edwards Grammar School. His elder brothers, Leonard and Norman studied law, and he had a sister, Edna who was the oldest of them all. In his teens Baker began to question what religion meant to him and decided to become a Quaker, since it was closer to what he believed in. Baker studied architecture at Birmingham Institute of Art and Design, Birmingham, and graduated in 1937, aged 20, in a period of political unrest in Europe.Throughout his practice, Baker developed a signature style in designing and building low cost, high quality, beautiful homes, with a great portion of his work suited to or built for lower-middle to lower class clients. He derived creatively from pre-existing local culture and building traditions while keeping his designs minimal with judicious and frugal use of resources.[13] [14] His buildings tend to emphasise prolific – at times virtuosic – masonry construction, instilling privacy and evoking history with brick jali walls, a perforated brick screen which invites a natural air flow to cool the buildings' interior, in addition to creating intricate patterns of light and shadow. Another significant Baker feature is irregular, pyramid-like structures on roofs, with one side left open and tilting into the wind. Baker's designs
MORPHOLOGY OF ISLAMIC TRADITIONAL IRAQI COURTYARD HOUSE TOWARD HOLISTIC ISLAM...Hayder Haraty
The traditional Iraqi house represents the ideal living style of its occupants. Its exceptional form has been designed to respond to the Islamic social and cultural needs of the house residents. The people behaviors have magnificently shaped the architecture identity of Iraq. By the time, the dilemma of traditional courtyards house appeared in the 20th century after numerous consequences causing the terrifying disappearance of this monument. Not only the lack of understanding the Islamic function of this traditional house but also the new modern designs of housing have been missing the identity of Iraq architecture. The urgent demand is to investigate the remaining cases of traditional courtyards house, and its function as Islamic space to emerge to the new housing applications in Iraq. Additionally, this study is focusing on the way that the courtyards house function and embrace certain Islamic elements that could be utilized to the new modern houses. Therefore, a morphological study has been carried out with the intention of analyzing the planning form and physical characteristics of two traditional Iraqi dwellings. The study has gone some way toward understanding that the courtyard house in Iraq does hold meaningful Islamic principles that implemented in its design physically and in its form. Accordingly, it empathizes the main reason that this kind of houses has been ideal is that it flourished from people culture and necessities over the years. The result of this study enhances the architecture design of the current and future worldwide Muslims houses into more expressive manners.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. Courtyards in India and their
functions
Nattukottai, South India
Haveli,
Rajasthan
Vada,
Maharashtra
4. Importance in Vastushastra
• Sri Chakra is the Yantra of the
Cosmos.
• Courtyard represents the four
corners of the Universe.
• Brahmasthan is the main centre
of any plot.
•Plot should be fixed for open
space.
•Construction in the centre of plot
means blocking the main energy.
5. History of courtyard
• Before courtyards, open fires were kept burning in a central place within a
home, with only a small hole in the ceiling above to allow smoke to escape. Over
time, these small openings were enlarged.
• Traced back to 6500-6000 BC.
incorporating from Mehergarh (Kacchi
Plain of Present Pakistan).
• Acting as the focal point of the settlement.
• The settlement consisted of an irregular
scatter of mud brick houses arranged
around a central open to sky space.
8. Social and Cultural Implications
• Heart of the house, where different activities could take place
during different parts of the day.
• Used as an extension of the kitchen and dining area during
mornings, an extension of the living room during evenings to
entertain guests and as a sleeping area for the nights.
• More than one courtyard can be observed.
• To separate the public and private spaces within the house.
• The public sphere is mainly for the guests and is largely used by
the male members of the family
• the inner court is more constrained to the family and is usually
an outdoor space enjoyed by the female members of the house.
10. Reasons for disappearance of
courtyard
• People prefer their house to express their status and, as a medium of relation
with others.
• the individualization of rooms .
• Construction has moved from horizontal development (plotted neighbourhoods)
to vertical development (high rise apartments) houses.
• New ways of construction and technology ensure safety
• The need for privacy for women and children.
• Climate was moderate and adjustable
• Joint families: Need for a large common space for interaction and family activities
• Nuclear families: Living room/Bedroom become the new space for family
interaction
• Less inclination on religious activities
• Abundant number of parks and play grounds for children in high rises and
neighbourhood homes.
14. Conclusion
• Some designs attempt to re-interpret the courtyard
principle in housing using backyards and gardens.
• The exterior space created is pushed to either the corner or
rear of the house plot.
• Moreover, its poor spatial quality and inefficient
relationship to other spaces makes it a deserted and a
useless space for the inhabitants. Hence, it lacks the
courtyard characteristics of the traditional house and is
neither a functional nor a symbolic space.
• Certain contemporary houses offer an extension to the
living or bedroom which is semi covered and landscaped
with trees and water bodies. Here, this space does not have
genuine courtyard characteristics because there is no sense
of enclosure. Its character is that of a modern garden rather
than that of a traditional courtyard.
