Analysis of the Spatial Pattern of Military River Defense on the Ming Great Wall: A Case Study of the Shanxi Section of the Yellow River by Tianlian WANG, Zhe LI

“…These systems are combined through points and lines to form a tight defense network of “waterfront warning−border defense−information transmission−reinforcement and response−military command−logistics support” to jointly realize the construction of a military defense pattern in the river defense space. 2) In terms of spatial distribution and site selection, military defense facilities have formed three geographical spatial distribution patterns under the influence of river morphology and specific natural factors. Starting from Laoniuwan, the Yellow River in the research area runs from north to south through Louziying to Hequ, with its southernmost end reaching Shiti Pass. …”

Les techniques de construction du second forum de Bavay (Nord) : utilisation, origine et datation des matériaux en terre cuite by Xavier Deru, Christine Louvion

“…In any case, judging by the example of the thermal baths of Trajan in Rome, and therefore subject to the available finances, only one season could allow the completion of the structural work.In addition to these results relative to the history of a monument, this article attempts to apply a precise analytic approach to the constructions and the materials used to build them. Starting from an in-depth observation of the remains, and a comparison with the standards of Roman architecture enable us to present an architectural proposal; From the analysis of the materials, an origin and supply circuits are defined; in the end, their combination serves an economic discourse that similar studies will be able to refine.…”

Evaluation of Dynamic Visual Perception of Riverside Interface in Mountainous Cities from the Perspective of Boating by Dan LUO, Ruhong WEI

“…The research on the dynamic visual perception of urban interface from the perspective of boating can provide a theoretical basis for the control and improvement of visual landscape in mountainous cities.MethodsTaking the riverside interface of the core area of “Two Rivers and Four Banks” in Chongqing as the research object and the cruise line of Liangjianghui as the movement path, this research connects the perception state and spatial characteristics by combining subjective and objective evaluation indicators, and analyzes the underlying logic of the formation of visual perception results. Starting from interface characteristics from the perspective of boating, the overall interface and visual unit are divided into two evaluation levels. …”

“Restoration of the Past Scenery-Realm”: A Research on the Scenery-Realm Restoration of Jiang’s Fu Garden During Qing Dynasty in the Historical Revolution of the Humble Administrat... by Qian BIAN

“…In terms of realm experience, the research analyzes the generation of typical comprehensive experience and emotional activities in the garden from the perspectives of “Dong You Jian Jing Can” (roaming in motion and meditation in stillness) and “Ya Ji Yu Yuan Ju” (elegant gathering and garden dwelling), pointing out that the former, in short-term composite perceptions, is more likely to form differentiated results due to changes in mood, season, and combinations of dynamic and static appreciation, while the latter, through long-term interactive attachment and more nuanced examinations over time, can make the emotional sustenance of guests in the garden more genuine and varied. 2) In response to the question of what qualified the garden as a restoration of the past scenery-realm, the focus is on the “Yuanxiang Hall” area as a clue to explore the value orientation of the Fu Garden’s restoration. In particular, the starting point is the schematic layout recovery of this area. …”
