Rabiul Abstract: Climate changing has been a debated issue during the last few years. Some institutes in different countries have worked on this subject. Several future climate predictions have been generated. Each future climate is based on some assumptions and consequently has some uncertainties. These uncertainties are dragged to the building simulation results by using the climate data for assessing the future performance of buildings. Bangladesh is newly a developing country. Many more construction is going on in full swing now days. This rapid construction is changing our earth surface very quickly. So that it increases heat on earth surface, energy consumption, decrease the comfort level. The answer to this challenging situation is the adoption of a holistic design approach, whereby the different disciplines required is brought together and interacts since the first steps of the design process. This study revealed the present implementation status of factory building sector energy standards in Bangladesh, implications for sustainable energy efficient designs in factory building and increasing demand for sustainable energy efficient industrial building Tue, 11 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://103.99.128.19:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/278 2011-01-11T00:00:00Z http://103.99.128.19:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/155 Title: Conserving Modern Architecture Issue Authors: Timothy P. Whalen Abstract: For the past few decades, our colleagues who advocated for the preservation of great twentieth-century architecture have been successful. They have not only saved important buildings—think the De La Warr Pavilion in England or the Century Plaza Hotel in my hometown of Los Angeles—but have also, in the process, raised public consciousness of their significance and helped preserve the ideas of optimism, innovation, and progress that they contain. These colleagues have my admiration and appreciation! Still, despite these successes and a considerable amount of work on issues facing practitioners, done early on by a number of key organizations, the conservation field has lagged behind in the research necessary for the development of best-practice solutions for the maintenance, repair, and renovation of these structures. Working closely with international partners, our Conserving Modern Architecture Initiative (CMAI) attempts to reinvigorate some of those efforts that began in the 1990s. We seek to bring a strategic focus to these challenges through a program of research, through the development and dissemination of knowledge intended to fill identified gaps in practice, and through training and education efforts. This edition of Conservation Perspectives is a small piece of this effort. The feature article in this edition is authored by Susan Macdonald, who not only is head of GCI Field Projects, but also serves as the project director of the CMAI. In her article she notes the relatively recent emergence of myriad organizations dedicated to saving and conserving modern heritage and delineates the challenges that lie ahead, including achieving widespread recognition and support for the conservation of twentieth-century places, as well as developing a common vision and approach to do so. It is, in fact, the goal of the CMAI to address some of these challenges—and one of the ways in which the CMAI seeks to do this is through model field projects, the first of which is our Eames House Conservation Project. Kyle Normandin, who directs that project for the GCI, describes in an article of his own how the Institute is working with the Charles and Ray Eames Preservation Foundation to assess the current condition of this iconic work of modern residential architecture, and to assist in the development of a long-term conservation management plan for the house, in the process demonstrating how existing conservation methods can be applied to modern cultural heritage sites. Moving from the micro to the macro, Danilo Matoso Macedo and Sylvia Ficher in their article examine some of the preservation issues connected to Brasilia, a city planned and constructed under the principles of modernism; the article explores how today, over a half-century since its inception, Brasilia must grapple with preserving its founding character while accommodating the tremendous growth that has followed its establishment. Growth and change are inevitable, and Charles Birnbaum in his article on modern landscapes argues that preservation is more likely to be successful when the public is engaged and when feasible alternatives to destruction are advanced. And in this newsletter’s spirited dialogue, Catherine Croft, Hubert-Jan Henket, and Johannes Widodo bring differing perspectives to questions of temporality and materiality in the quest to preserve the built heritage created in the Modern era. I hope you enjoy this edition of the newsletter and find it valuable.

Obtained in every case by personal observation, there may be among them some details valuable even to the experienced architect; but with respect to the opinions founded upon them I must be prepared to bear the charge of impertinence which can hardly but attach to the writer who assumes a dogmatical tone in speaking of an art he has never practised. There are, however, cases in which men feel too keenly to be silent, and perhaps too strongly to be wrong; I have been forced into this impertinence; and have suffered too much from the destruction or neglect of the architecture I best loved, and from the erection of that which I cannot love, to reason cautiously respecting the modesty of my opposition to the principles which have induced the scorn of the one, or directed the design of the other. And I have been the less careful to modify the confidence of my statements of principles, because in the midst of the opposition and uncertainty of our architectural systems, it seems to me that there is something grateful in any positive opinion, though in many points wrong, as even weeds are useful that grow on a bank of sand.
