“…The morphological analysis had the goal of visually comparing and interpreting the middle-class mass housing phenomenon from an architectural and urban perspective. This study is part of a long tradition of morphological analysis of cities (Oliveira, 2016;Fleischmann, 2022) and visualises the qualities of the existing structures, the potential of common spaces, and the impact of future interventions (Dragutinovic et al, 2023).…”

The COST-Action (CA 18137) on Middle Class Mass Housing in Europe (MCMH-EU) has established a transnational scientific network to document the productions of middle-class mass housing built in Europe since the 1950s in order to investigate this specific topic and share knowledge. Considering that middle-class mass housing dominates most of our cities, the research translates into the study of the extensive development of cities in Europe after World War II. The breadth of the theme and the differences between the countries make it difficult to construct a systematic and unified criticism of middle-class mass housing, albeit concentrating on the post-war period. The COST-Action has the goal to build a network to gather research representing the pooled knowledge and experiences from the network of multidisciplinary researchers. So, transversally throughout the Working Groups, an inventory of case studies, a collection of articles, and studies on the policies were produced. This paper elaborates on the collected and produced material and data in order to trigger comparisons and reflections on the approaches and methodologies to face the complexity of middle-class mass housing topic. The comparison was built by using different methods intersecting multiple points of view and following specific thematic tracks that seek to deconstruct the complexity of the middle-class mass housing topic into singular aspects. This paper presents the results of data analyses, visualisation techniques and comparative studies to identify massification processes, morphological structures, demographic and policy developments. It shows a combination of several methods to build a cross-sectional and systematic approach to the diverse knowledge envisioned to develop a methodology for future research. This can be especially useful for future developments and insights towards joint or individual European guidelines, laws and policies to improve the dilapidated housing stock, current housing situation and to compete the housing crisis in general.

International bodies demonstrate their commitment to the sustainability paradigm and the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) approach through university curricula and activities that address global challenges such as poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation. The literature suggests that extracurricular activities designed from such an approach play a vital role in working towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as they foster awareness, commitment and action. This paper explores the profile of students participating in an extracurricular ocean sustainability activity aboard the training ship Saltillo and the learning derived from it. The need arises from wanting to know some key ideas that can inspire the design and implementation of ESD-based extracurricular activities that promote the SDGs. The method consisted of a case study using e-logbooks, cover letters, Lego® Serious Play® and questionnaires as instruments. The results expose the students’ interests and academic and personal motivations to take part in the activity. Learning about sailing, sustainability, shared living, and self-awareness of their own transformation are also explored. The study offers ten tips to guide and inspire how extracurricular university activities based on the ESD approach and aimed at the SDGs can be designed.

This study offers insights into the management of intervention works aimed at conserving and revitalizing historical structures, focusing on the Bârnova Monastery in Iași, Romania. The study begins by contextualizing the broader challenges associated with preserving heritage churches and monastic buildings, elucidating the architectural characteristics and structural aspects typical of traditional Romanian Orthodox churches. Subsequently, the study delves into a detailed case analysis centered on the restoration of the medieval Bârnova Monastery, particularly its paramount structure, the Saint George Church, erected in the XVII century. This church exemplifies the traditional Orthodox architectural and structural norms prevalent during the medieval period. Through a structural diagnosis, the study identifies the vulnerabilities of the Saint George Church, which have been exacerbated by the impact of approximately 24 earthquakes of magnitudes exceeding 6.0 throughout its history. In response, a multifaceted approach to strengthening was devised, involving a combination of grouting and the installation of steel rods within vertically drilled galleries spanning the entire height of the walls. The adoption of this integrated strengthening strategy proved advantageous, significantly enhancing the seismic resilience of the church while simultaneously addressing the preservation needs of its historical features. This case study not only contributes to the body of knowledge on conservation and revitalization practices but also offers valuable insights into the effective management of intervention works for safeguarding heritage structures against seismic risks.
