For more than a hundred years, art and architectural historians, architects, and engineers interested in structure have attempted to interpret Gothic architecture, one of the most technologically complex and sophisticated structural systems in history. Indigenous Gothic, however, such as non-vaulted Gothic in the Lower Languedoc region of southern France, has been largely ignored. This study intends to analyze the Gothic non-vaulted nef unique (aisleless) structures of Lower Languedoc which have never been scientifically tested, and to provide as comprehensive an explanation as possible of the way in which these non-vaulted buildings work. In order to achieve this goal, this paper is to examine, by means of finite element computer analysis, a selected example of an existing building. The church of Notre-Dame de Lamourguier, the earliest surviving example of a Gothic nef unique with wide-span diaphragm arches in Lower Languedoc, is selected. Thus, hypothetical models of diaphragm arch buildings and an existing building as a complete structural system were scientifically analyzed in order to provide a comprehensive explanation of how the non-vaulted nef unique system works. The result of the analysis, allows us better to understand the structural behavior of this type of masonry arcuated system and the processes involved in the design and construction of medieval buildings.

This research aims to enrich the field of decorative designs for the T-shirts of youth clothes. Youth T-shirts have been chosen because they are essential apparel and one of the most important casualwear. T-shirts are probably the number one item sold across the world. Every tourist shop has many of them, worldwide. The decorative ideas have been inspired from some symbols of Coptic arts. This incorporates the cultural power of Coptic art as a vital starting point for new design ideas and development of products. However, the purpose of this research is to make our youth know something about the Coptic arts of Egypt, as a part of their history, and on the other hand for tourists as well. Youth are very suitable tools for spreading our new ideas where they are energetic and full of life. In this work, twenty-one designs are presented inspired from ten Coptic symbols. Five designs have been implemented in three different ways of printing and embroidery, i.e. there are fifteen models have been formed. An opinion poll has been occurred for two groups of youth, one is younger and the other is older, hence T-test has been applied. It is clarified that our designs are approved by the younger group than the older one. The results of this work can offer some good reasons for further investigations on the fashionable decorated designs for youth and tourists as well; in addition to the decoration education development.

The Chugudae is a pedestal for the Chugugi. While many Chugudae were made during the Joseon Dynasty period, seven remained in existence until the early 20th century. Only five of them remain to this day-Gwansanggam (Royal Office of Astronomy and Meteorology), the Seonhwadang in Daegu, the Changdeok Palace, Tongyeong, and Yeongyeongdang. The Changdeok Palace Chugudae is the only existing model made not only as a meteorological instrument but also as a memorial statue. It has been a challenge to decipher 41 of the 368 characters in 'Chugugi-myeong (The title of the inscriptions on the Changdeok Palace Chugudae)' as these had been eroded. However, the interpretation of the full text of 'Chugugi-myeong' became possible thanks to the "Cheoljae Jinjeok (澈齋眞蹟)" which was discovered through this study. The key sentences of the 'Chugugi-myeong' include the reason for creation, the size and functions of the Chugugi and a eulogy to the reigns of King Sejong, Youngjo and Jeongjo. Moreover, its splendid design is worthy of further study. To conclude its true meaning and value, the Changdeok Palace Chugudae requires a more extensive investigation from the viewpoint of an art history.

Aiming at finding symbolistic meanings and characteristics of makeup in Chinese Beijing Opera("BO"), this study formulated a theoretical framework mainly from literature in the Symbolism and symbolistically analyzed materials related to BO makeup from literature, internet web pages and illustrated news concerning performing arts. Main objects to analyze are the characteristics of four main roles in BO and the patterns, symbols, ornaments and traditions of Beijing Opera facial makeup("BOFM"). Four main roles are Sheng, Tan, Ching and Chou, categorized by gender, age, social position and personality. The result to analyze symbolistic meanings and characteristics of makeups for the roles in BO are as follows: the patterns and colors of BOFM function as explanations to help audiences understand each role's personality and dramatic situations as well as provide hints about the development and ending of an opera: that is, BO makeup is a communicative intermediary between audiences and actors in BO. It tends to follow the stereotypes, which conventionally dress and exaggerate the characters of roles, and copy the traditional Chinese perception about colors. Thus, by the metaphysical and typical expression of BOFM, Chinese people have not been pursuing the realism in opera but applying BO makeup to a mutual communication method between audiences and performing artists as to share their collective cultural heritages and spirits. Threfore, BO makeup has been an interacting language between the two entities and grown within the history of BO as a beauty art to highlight a BO by its unique systems, ornaments and beauty.

This study investigates the concept of the body in Korean traditional costume by comparing the traditional costumes of the west and those of Korea while focusing on the relationship between the body and dress. In order to make a comparison of the traditional perspectives on the body in western and Korean costumes, this study examines the literature of history, art, medicine, philosophy as well as dress from the mid-fourteenth century to the nineteenth century pertaining to the west and those of the Joseon Dynasty Korea. Western dress assumes apparent formal structures and pursues overall harmony via the completeness of its entities, while traditional Korean dress subordinates the parts to the whole, emphasizing the organic total. Whereas the proportion of bodily structure is stressed in western traditional costume, in Korean costume the body is perceived as a whole. By revealing the body through the three dimensionalities of dress, the focus on the erogenous body parts is shifting in conventional western dress according to changes in aesthetic consciousness, which reflects the western ideas of objectiveness and self-centeredness. In traditional Korean dress, in the space between the body and dress, the emphasis is on planarization of the dress, which assumes the oriental relationship-centeredness concept.

Taekwondo, Korean traditional martial art as one of the ten Korean cultural symbols, has acquired a reputation for introducing and globalizing Korean culture together with its standing as official Olympic Game in 2000, Sydney, Australia. Nevertheless the World Taekwondo Headquarters, Kukkiwon, which is an exclusive Taekwondo institution only accommodates for three thousand persons. Considering the worldwide reputation of Taekwondo, the scale of Kukkiwon leaves a big supply problem. This study therefore suggests the plan to design Taekwondo park that playa major role of Taekwondo development in the 21st century and represent the cultural heartland of Taekwondo. The study considers four points. The points are as follows: 1) Necessary programs drawn by analyzing and assessing Muju city as a site for Taekwondo park, then a survey conducted for potential visitors to a Taekwondo park. Under the theme of "A World Cultural Heritage Upon Our Own Lives", the park plan intends to become a shrine of Taekwondo as well as a big tourist attraction. 2) Programs are appropriate for the terms of the investment under the auspices of government, by considering potential visits and the site conditions. 3) The meaning of Taekwondo and its history should be reflected in the space distribution and facilities allotment. Three meaningful zones: symbolic zone, training zone and culture zone are considered in planning program and space distribution. 4) The plan also intends to harmonize with local development by groping Muju city's uplifting, not only designs a Taekwondo park.

The current status of Canadian research on rotor-based actively controlled technologies for helicopters is reviewed in this paper. First, worldwide research in this field is overviewed to put Canadian research into context. Then, the unique hybrid control concept of Carleton University is described, along with its key element, the "stiffness control" concept. Next, the smart hybrid active rotor control system (SHARCS) projected's history and organization is presented, which aims to demonstrate the hybrid control concept in a wind tunnel test campaign. To support the activities of SHARCS, unique computational tools, novel experimental facilities and new know-how had to be developed in Canada, among them the state-of-the-art Carleton Whirl Tower facility or the ability to design and manufacture aeroelastically scaled helicopter rotors for wind tunnel testing. In the second half of the paper, details are provided on the current status of development on the three subsystems of SHARCS, i.e. that of the actively controlled tip, the actively controlled flap and the unique stiffness-control device, the active pitch link.

중국은 다양한 민족의 형성과 아울러 문화의 유구한 역사를 대변하는 문명대국이다.그 중에서도 전통 문화 콘텐츠인 길상 문양은 이데올로기가 격동했던 중국의 역사 변천 과정을 겪으면서 지금까지 중국인들의 민족감성을 자극하는 감성 키워드로 자리잡고 있다. 그 중 길상문양은 중국의 길고 긴 온고지신의 인내를 통해 풍부한 전통문화 콘텐츠의 기반이 되었고, 그러한 감성 문화 자원의 기반아래 하나의 전통 문화 콘텐츠의 중심이 되었다고 해도 과언이 아니다. 길상문양은 중국의 역사와 민족 감성을 대변하는 일종의 표현 수단으로 사람들의 생활관습과 정서, 문화배경에 대한 긴밀한 대변자 역할을 감당하는 키워드가 되었다. 또한, 길상문양은 일종의 마을의 토템신앙의 가치를 지니며 동시에 정보 전달의 기능도 포함하고 있다. 이러한 정보의 상징성은 결국 길상 문양의 형성에 기반이 되었으며, 길상문양이라는 개념적 키워드로 발현하고 있다. 길상문양의 종류는 너무나 다양하여 모든 문양을 연구하기에는 그 범위가 광범위하고 깊어 연구의 전문성에 한계를 가지고 있다. 그래서 본 연구는 길상문양 중에서도 어(魚)문양을 연구한다. 어(魚)문양은 중화민족이 창조한 최초의 길상 서금 문양(동물문:動物紋)이 되었고, 중국에서는 이미 육천년의 역사를 가지게 되었다. 어(魚)문양의 독특한 이미지와 길상의 의미가 중화민족에게는 특유의 고유한 문화 콘텐츠를 보여 주었으며, 중국전통문화를 구성하는 중요한 콘텐츠가 되었다. 전통 어(魚)문양에 대한 현대의 연구는 역사에 대한 상징성과 문양 이미지에 더 많은 의미를 부여하였고, 어(魚)문양의 상징적인 의미로서는 현대적 디자인과 결합시키는 데 신경을 많이 쓰지 않았다. 따라서 어(魚)문양의 길상적 의미와 이미지에 대한 연구를 통해 전통 어(魚)문양이 현대 기업 아이던티티 디자인에 어떠한 가치를 주는지에 대해 분석하고자 하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 연구방법은 중국 전통 어(魚)문의 역사 및 길상이 함의하고 있는 상징성을 연구함으로써 어(魚)문양이 민족, 문화, 예술, 생활 등 각 측면에서 영향을 준 의의와 문화 콘텐츠를 분석하고, 전통 어(魚)문양을 응용한 기업 아이던티티 디자인 사례들을 분석하고자 한다. 또한 소비자의 브랜드 의식, 구매심리, 어(魚)문양의 심리적인 영향력 등에 대한 생각을 파악하고, 더욱 더 어(魚)문양이 기업 아이덴티티 디자인에 대한 영향력을 잘 설명하기 위하여 설문조사도 같이 진행하고자 한다. 조사 대상은 중국 20세 이상의 성인 연령층 총100명의 소비자들이다. 전통 어(魚)문양은 현대적 디자인에 영향을 미친 중요한 구심점이 될 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 전통 어(魚)문양을 기업 이미지로 표방한 사례를 통해 분석된 내용들은 대다수 중국인들에게 전통 길상 문양에 대한 긍정적 인식을 제고할 수 있으며, 신뢰성을 바탕으로 한 기업 호감지수에 어떠한 긍정적 영향을 미쳤는지에 대하여 고찰하고자 한다. 현대 중국 기업 아이덴티티 디자인에 있어 길상의 상서로운 이미지를 현대적으로 재해석함으로서 소비자들에게 민족적 감성 인지와 더불어 기업에 대한 이미지의 호감도를 극대화 시키는지에 대한 반응을 설문조사하고, 그 결론을 유추하여 전통컨셉의 활용에 대한 발전가능성을 예측하고자 한다.
