“…The choice of the Gothic style – prescribed by a Royal Commission and realised by Charles Barry and Augustus Pugin – was, at one level, a practical design solution as it allowed for the incorporation of surviving medieval structures. At another level however, perpendicular gothic ‘was viewed by the mid-nineteenth-century Englishman as inherently … English … and because of the long association of Parliament with the medieval palace of Westminster the Gothic style was viewed as being connected with the parliamentary form of government’ (Roth and Roth Clark, 2014: 510). When completed and ‘towering over the modest brick-built Georgian terraces of Westminster, the new Palace had an enormous effect on the imagination of the Victorian public’ (UK Parliament, 2015a).…”

Recent theoretical reconceptualisations of political representation and contemporary empirical analyses of parliamentary representation have largely neglected the representation of parliaments as institutions. As a consequence, relatively little attention has been focused upon what is being communicated to citizens about parliaments and upon the nature of the parliamentary institutions that citizens are expected to engage with. This is the neglected institutional dimension of parliamentary representation. Using interview data from 39 key actors in the Scottish, Westminster and European Parliaments, we analyse who act as 'claim-makers' on behalf of parliaments, the nature of these claims in different political contexts, and the 'symbolic intent' and claims associated with the architectural design of parliamentary buildings. We identify a basic paradox of institutional representation in that those who 'speak for' (most loudly and most persistently) and 'act for' parliaments as institutions are not primarily elected representatives but rather non-elected officials.

Deterioration of concrete structures is closely related to their service environment. Under different environmental conditions, the durability performance of structures will be different. To perform durability design based on local conditions and extend the service life of structures, it is necessary to divide their service environment based on the prevailing deterioration mechanism. In this study, considering Guangdong Province as an example, the environmental conditions affecting the durability of concrete structures are investigated and the geographical distribution of environmental conditions is analyzed, including ambient temperature, precipitation, corrosive gas, acid rain, and salt fog. The weights of the regional durability indexes are calculated by combining fuzzy clustering analysis with information entropy using rough set theory. Based on the assessment data of 1324 existing concrete structures, the durability geographic division map of Guangdong Province, including three regions (Chloride corrosion region, Acid rain‐carbonation coupling region, and Carbonation region), is constructed. This geographic division map is divided into a total of eight subregions by considering the subordinate factors in each region. The environmental characteristics of each region and its dominating deterioration mechanism for concrete structures are analyzed, and suggestions for durability design are provided.

Avrupa'da otoritenin gücünü yansıtan Barok-Rokoko üsluplarının mimari kurulumunun yanı sıra beraberinde getirdiği motif zenginliği ile anlamını arttırdığı tartışılmaz bir gerçek olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu noktada üslupların süsleme biçimlerini anlamak adına Avrupa'daki siyasi ortamı, bu ortama hizmet veren sanatsal faaliyetlerin ortaya çıkışını, felsefelerini ve uygulama alanlarını çok iyi irdelemek gerekmektedir. Özellikle süslemenin mimari oluşum içindeki sembolik dili ve biçim değişimlerinin tam olarak algılanamama sorunsalı, süsleme kavramını basit bir süs tanımından öteye taşıyamamaktadır.
