Religious spaces in Islamic traditional Cities
The present paper aims for the most part to prove the fact that religious and spiritual places and above all, mosques play major roles within Islamic urban areas. They are in fact the basis of civil infrastructures. A historical analysis focusing on where mosques stand in Islamic urban areas reveals that mosques have always been the center of development and growth and that they must be studied...
متن کاملStretching the boundaries in turbulent convection
Laboratory experiments investigating turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection (RBC) have nearly always been confined to cylindrical cells of small diameter-to-height aspect ratio Γ (typically 1/2). The motivation for this has been that the governing control parameter, the Rayleigh Number Ra, depends on the cube of the height, and so laboratory experiments have been made as tall as possible, which f...
متن کاملBoundaries of Right-angled Hyperbolic Buildings *
We prove that the boundary of a right-angled hyperbolic building is a universal Menger space. Corollary: the 3-dimensional universal Menger space is the boundary of some Gromov-hyperbolic group. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 20E42, 54F35, 20F67
متن کاملSmooth and rough boundaries in turbulent Taylor-Couette flow.
We examine the torque required to drive the smooth or rough cylinders in turbulent Taylor-Couette flow. With rough inner and outer walls the scaling of the dimensionless torque G is found to be consistent with pure Kolmogorov scaling G approximately Re2. The results are interpreted within the Grossmann-Lohse theory for the relative role of the energy dissipation rates in the boundary layers and...
متن کاملOn the antifragility of cities and of their buildings
We discuss the relevance of the concept of antifragility, introduced by Nassim Taleb, to the theory and practice of urban planning and design. We further contrast the antifragility of cities with that of their “smartness”, suggesting that the former deserves a greater focus in the planning practice. Finally, we explore the potential antifragility of buildings, arguing it to be an important fact...
