This document summarizes a reaction paper by a student named Lai Tzexiuan on Kenneth Frampton's essay "Towards a Critical Regionalism: Six Points for an Architecture of Resistance." The student agrees with Frampton that architecture should respond to both the natural and cultural contexts of its site. This can include reflecting the local climate and materials through openings and ventilation, or drawing from cultural traditions through placements of rooms and courtyards that evoke landscape paintings. The student believes this type of regionalism is important to avoid conflicts with the site context and create tangible and intangible experiences for humans through architectural poetics and the stimulation of senses.

The term “Vernacular architecture” in general refers to the informal building of structures through traditional building methods without using the services of a professional architect. It is the most widespread form of building .
Vernacular architecture has been growing over time with continuities changes, transformations and adaptations to the different social and economic conditions of each period.
Postmodern architecture is a reaction and evolution to the modern architecture that came before it. Not only did designers begin to make use of new innovations, but at the same time they appropriated design elements from the past. Buildings became an eclectic mix of old and new as the old "Form follows function" mantra was forgotten. One of the iconic postmodern examples is the Sony Building in New York City.
As with many cultural movements, some of postmodernism's most pronounced and visible ideas can be seen in architecture. The functional and formalized shapes and spaces of the modernist movement are replaced by aesthetics: form is adopted for its own sake, and new ways of viewing familiar styles and space abound.
Classic examples of modern architecture are the Lever House and the Seagram Building in commercial space, and the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright or the Bauhaus movement in private or communal spaces.
Transitional examples of postmodern architecture are the Portland Building in Portland, Oregon and the Sony Building in New York City, which borrows elements and references from the past and reintroduces color and symbolism to architecture.

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.

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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

Towards a Critical Regionalism: Six Points for an Architecture of Resistance
1. BACHELOR OF SCIENCE (HONOURS) IN ARCHITECTURE
THEORIES OF ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISM (ARC61303
SYNOPSIS: REACTION PAPER (August 2017)

Reader/Text Title: Towards a Critical
Regionalism: Six Points for an Architecture of
Resistance
Synopsis No: 4 (B)
Author: Kenneth Frampton
Based on the article of Towards a Critical Regionalism, Kenneth Frampton argues on the importance of
public spaces and realm of architecture place-form response to human in urban context. Place-form of
architecture in Critical Regionalism refers to how a building is placed or situated onto its site context and
how building is designed response to cultural and natural aspects of the site.
According to my opinion on Critical Regionalism, I agree on Kenneth Frampton’s essay which mention the
importance of architecture has to be design in response to its context. A building that responded to both
natural and cultural aspects of site contexts is able to evoke a sense of belonging to the building site or
place. As an example, a building which ‘sits’ onto a mountain site following the geological mountain
topography as ifit is part ofthe mountain. Moreover, the design ofappropriate openings and ventilation are
able to reflectthe nature and local climate condition. For instance, the use of low thermal capacity materials
and openings for cross ventilation clearly reflects that characteristics of tropical architecture. The
considerations of natural and cultural in response to site context in architecture are important to avoid any
conflict with the contexts.
In addition, cultural response towards the site context can be shown through architectural poetics or
intangible feelings. I agree on Critical Regionalism which states the importance of visual and tactile of
human senses to create tangible and intangible experiences within a building. For example, the placements
of rooms and courtyards of Chinese courtyard house, “Deep Deep House” are placed accordingly to the
paintings of mountain, river, pavilion and lake of the Chinese literature landscape painting. This shows that
the mountain, river, pavilion and lake ofthe landscape are visualized as rooms and courtyards ofthe house.
Whereby, the tactile sensitivity within the house on the soft and hardscapes of gardens and timber
construction materials express the natural and cultural origins of the inhabitation of ancient Chinese
courtyard house. Architectural poetics are sometimes important to human as they stimulates the senses of
human in order to express the identity and to convey significant messages of a place.
