The medina of Chefchaouen represents an architectural heritage of great value and its building culture constitutes a repertoire of knowledge to be safeguarded as an expression of cultural diversity in the relationship between society and nature. The volume presents the results of an in-depth research on the knowledge system that constitutes the local building culture of the medina, highlighting the characteristics of the construction systems, the risks to which the traditional heritage is subject, and its contribution to the development of a sustainable habitat. The book addresses the theme of the built heritage of the medina with an interdisciplinary approach, which includes architecture as part of a system that has to be studied along with the natural, social and cultural contexts.

Storytelling in Chefchaouen Northern Morocco includes two sets of tales told by two different storytellers with an annotated study of the oral performance, transliterations and translations. The purpose is to preserve a part of the region’s oral tradition of storytelling in the vernacular language in which it has been transmitted, presenting the original texts with parallel English translation. In addition, the cultural, literary, and linguistic background necessary for understanding this body of oral performance is given. A combination of disciplines (anthropology, philology, sociolinguistics, dialectology, comparative literature, ethnography, typology) is applied to the linguistic and literary features of the present corpus.

The Mediterranean region is distinguished by an architectural heritage of great richness and diversity. This book focuses on the preservation and enhancement of this heritage. As the building and construction sector is one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases, there is much effort to replace traditional materials with environmentally friendly materials. Great efforts are made to prioritize the use of eco-materials instead of conventional materials. There is a trend to use local materials, such as earth, stone or wood, due to their sustainability and highly favorable environmental footprint. Keywords: Tire-Based Anti-Seismic Fibers, Hydraulic Lime Concrete, Recycled Glass-Fiber Reinforced Cement, Recycled Construction and Demolition Waste, Local Clay Materials with Date Palm Fibers, Bio-Composite Building Material, Building Materials Stabilized with Gum Arabic, Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of a Building Aggregate, Soil Building Blocks, Earth Bricks Stabilized by Alkaline Solution and Reinforced with Natural Fibers, Preservation of Local Architectural Heritage, Seismic Resilience in Rammed Earth Construction, Thermal Insulation, Wall Paintings, Spectrometric Characterization, Raw Earthern Bricks, Bricks based on Clay and Stabilized with Reed Fibers, Traditional Earth Architecture, Geopolymers, Strengthening Rammed Earth, Improving Thermal Insulation, Removal of Organic Pollutants, Characterization of Stone Flooring, Fire Induced Microstructural Changes in Materials, White Marble, Limestone, Restoration and Digitalisation Strategies of Architectural Heritage, Laser Scanning, BIM for Heritage Management, Integrated Digital Survey Methodologies.

This book combines approaches from the design disciplines, humanities, and social sciences to foster interdisciplinary engagement across geographies around the identities embodied in and of peripheries. Peripheral communities bear human faces and names, necessitating specific modes of inquiry and commitments that prioritize lived human experience and cultural expression. Hence, the peripheries of this book are a question, not a given, the answers to which are contingent forms assembled around embodied identities. Peripheries are urban fringes, periphery countries in the modern world-system, Indigenous lands, occupied territories, or the peripheries of authoritative knowledge, among others. No form can exist outside historical relations of power enacted through knowledge, political structures, laws, and regulations.

Icelandic Farmhouses. Identity, Landscape and Construction (1790-1945) retraces the history of Icelandic rural architecture between the late eighteenth century and the mid-twentieth century. Through the study of Icelandic rural buildings, this book narrates a very special history of architecture: one of adaptation and tradition, scarcity of building materials and transfers of knowledge with Europe. The history of Icelandic farmhouses is intermixed with construction issues, nationalistic debates, and a quest for a much-needed modernization of the standards of living. The book aims to retrace the role of modern building techniques in the development of Icelandic rural architecture and society.

This book describes a research project begun by the author in 2015 and co-authored by the chiefs of the KhoiSan peoples living in the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality, South Africa, aided by staff and students at Nelson Mandela University. The scope of the project was to investigate methods and procedures that could help re-establish the link between the Indigenous communities and their ‘forgotten’ heritage sites due to the colonial segregations. Making use of a participatory and interdisciplinary method we explored the tangible and intangible heritage of the Eastern Cape province, with particular attention to the remains of precolonial fish traps located along the shoreline. Included also are important testimonies from the KhoiSan chiefs who, alongside the author, led the project.

Nowadays, there is an increasing recognition of the value of knowledge management in the construction projects and ontology-based semantic modelling is seen as an important means of addressing this problem, even if a knowledge-base which maps the construction planning and scheduling domains, in a formal and machine-readable way, is still missing. Addressing this issue, the book is divided in two parts. Part I, theory, is a theoretical introduction of on ontologies concepts and expert systems. Part II, application, presents a research of ontologies development for semantic modelling of construction scheduling, workspace, product and time domains. The last chapter presents the architecture of an ontology-based expert system, to show how ontologies can support automated planning mechanisms.

In recent years, authoritarian states in the Middle East and North Africa have faced increasing international pressure to decentralize political power. Decentralization is presented as a panacea that will foster good governance and civil society, helping citizens procure basic services and fight corruption. Two of these states, Jordan and Morocco, are monarchies with elected parliaments and recent experiences of liberalization. Morocco began devolving certain responsibilities to municipal councils decades ago, while Jordan has consistently followed a path of greater centralization. Their experiences test such assumptions about the benefits of localism. Janine A. Clark examines why Morocco decentralized while Jordan did not and evaluates the impact of their divergent paths, ultimately explaining how authoritarian regimes can use decentralization reforms to consolidate power. Local Politics in Jordan and Morocco argues that decentralization is a tactic authoritarian regimes employ based on their coalition strategies to expand their base of support and strengthen patron-client ties. Clark analyzes the opportunities that decentralization presents to local actors to pursue their interests and lays out how municipal-level figures find ways to use reforms to their advantage. In Morocco, decentralization has resulted not in greater political inclusivity or improved services, but rather in the entrenchment of pro-regime elites in power. The main Islamist political party has also taken advantage of these reforms. In Jordan, decentralization would undermine the networks that benefit elites and their supporters. Based on extensive fieldwork, Local Politics in Jordan and Morocco is an important contribution to Middle East studies and political science that challenges our understanding of authoritarian regimes’ survival strategies and resilience.

Consacré à la médina dans l’espace méditerranéen, ce volume repose essentiellement sur une recherche historique et photographique approfondie sur les caractéristiques de la forme urbaine et son évolution ainsi que sur des études de cas issues de l’expérience directe. L’objectif principal du livre réside dans sa valeur documentaire et évocatrice, sans oublier l’analyse des espaces architecturaux variés dotés de complexes monumentaux de grande importance culturelle disposés selon des hiérarchies précises et des usages spécifiques. La recherche résume les différentes expériences provenant de cet immense patrimoine architectonique arabo-musulman et de son évolution urbanistique. Ces aspects sont exprimés par le grand nombre de cas d’étude (de Cordoue jusqu’à Palerme, en passant par Fès, Séfrou, Marrakech et Tunis), aussi bien que par la qualité de l’ensemble des espaces construits. Les différentes contributions montrent une ossature urbaine encore lisible et significative constituée de maillages d’habitats avec des formes, des structures et des fonctions qui mettent en évidence une concentration d’espaces, de lieux et de monuments stratifiés dans le temps et développés dans les pays de la Méditerranée créant des situations très diversifiées.
