Locality and Identity: Henri Maclaine Pont and the Politics of Representation in the Late Colonial Dutch East Indies
No full textThis paper investigates issues of representation, interpretation, and difference in architecture in colonial and racialised environments, through a case study of the work of Dutch engineer, architect, and archaeologist Henri Maclaine Pont in the late colonial Dutch East Indies. Pont extensively surveyed regional Javanese building forms, and through his work he attempted to hybridise Javanese and ‘Western’ forms to produce a more ‘appropriate' and representative form of architecture for public buildings. This paper addresses the question: is it possible for Pont’s work to authentically represent any real differences, or did it mainly seek to reconcile difference and pacify the destabilising threat posed by it, serving only as a mechanism for the continued repression of the Other? It revisits Pont’s most influential but scarcely examined publication ‘Javaansche Architectuur’ and examines the way he practices the ideas proposed in it, in his own work. It finds that Pont demonstrates a critical awareness of the way in which the hierarchies of power affect representation in a colonial environment, but that he does not criticise the existence of these hierarchies themselves. Instead, he relies on common rationalisations and justifications, rooted in social evolutionism, paternalism, and racism. It notes that the historiography on Maclaine Pont has chosen to omit his more problematic views, in favour of a more sympathetic characterisation which presents him as a protector of the Javanese tradition.AR2A011Architectural History ThesisArchitecture, Urbanism and Building Science
Spacematrix: Space, Density and Urban Form - revised edition
No full textSpacematrix explores the potential of urban density as a tool for urban planning and design.This revised and extended edition of Meta Berghauser Pont and Per Haupt’s 2010 volume includes an extensive analysis of the relations between density, urban form and performance – a prerequisite for understanding and successfully predicting the effects of specific designs and planning proposals. The density database that is an integral part of the book has been expanded and now includes 142 examples from five capitals in Europe as well as examples from Asia.Berghauser Pont and Haupt demystify the use of concepts such as ‘urbanity’, ‘compact city’ and ‘park city’ by challenging the reliability of such concepts and critically examining the possibility of redefining them through quantification using multiple density measures.Spacematrix is of interest to professionals working in the field of urbanism, such as architects, urban planners and designers, as well as developers, economists, engineers and policymakers. It also offers researchers a method to quantitatively describe urban form and connect this to a wide range of performances.OLD Urban Composition
Review Essay:--Alfred I. du Pont: His Impact on Florida
No full textThrough the pages of this large and well-written book, Joseph Frazier Wall delivers all that the title promises and much more. Beginning with the origins of the du Pont family in the eighteenth century and ending with an epilogue about Ed Ball’s covetous management of the du Pont estate during the half century after Alfred’s death, Wall not only portrays the huge du Pont family through a half dozen generations, but also says a great deal about the growth of business, industry, technology, and finance in the context of the history of the United States from its revolutionary inception in the late eighteenth century. The emphasis is on Alfred I. du Pont who may have been the rebel of the family, but who, as the author demonstrates, certainly was not a black sheep. Wall shows how the powder factory on the Brandywine grew into an enormous manufacturing conglomerate, how the du Pont family also grew from a close-knit group into a sprawling network of cousins and in-laws that more closely resembled “Dynasty” than “Dallas,” and how the latter so forcefully and sometimes so disastrously influenced the former

New town modeling: Reviewing Dutch new towns via quantitative methods to provide appropriate tools and strategy for accelerating Chinese new town development, using songjiang new town as the test case
No full textChina turned to the Open-Policy in 1978 and began its rapid urbanization process. To handle the urgent demand from working migration and reduce the problems triggered by congestion in mega cities, decentralization and new towns are widely accepted by Chinese urbanists and politicians. However, new towns in China lost their urbanity in the instant city-making while European new towns have experienced a long time reflection. This master thesis intends to advance the knowledge on new town development by applying GIS-related quantitative methods to compare new towns in various contexts with their historically evolved peers. There are two main directions in this research: improving quantitative analytical methods and understanding the transformation process of new towns. This research dwells on quantitative modeling on three elements of urban morphology: street network, building types and function via GIS. By this way, a new quantitative analytical method about built environment can be raised based on the study of van Nes, Berghauser-Pont and Masshoodi (2012). Through applying this new method to compare the development process of Dutch post-war new towns with historical city, a series of spatial principles will be found and applied into Chinese context. Specifically, in the Netherlands, the transformation process in Dutch new towns will be revealed and an urban diagnosis tool will be given. Then, all the knowledge getting from Dutch context will be converted into a Chinese case: Songjiang new town to provide guiding. Although the focus for this thesis will be on one new town, it contributes to the development strategy for other new towns in China as well.Complex City StudioUrbanismArchitectur

Boreofairchildia belti Ježek & Oboňa & Pont & Maes & Mollinedo 2018, sp. nov.
No full textBoreofairchildia belti Ježek, Oboňa & Le Pont sp. nov. (Figs. 1–20) Description. Head (Fig. 1) with prominent vertex, ridge-shaped. Eyes separated by 3 facet diameters anteriorly (Fig. 2); frons with cluster of approximately 22 hair scars at anterior angle of eye, cluster separated from other scars on frons and vertex. Insertions of four supraocular bristles on dorsal margins of eyes enlarged. The fold of eye is marked on Fig. 1 from caudal view (black colour). Antenna (incomplete in holotype and paratype) with flagellomeres elongate (Fig. 3), cylindrical, covered with abundant digitiform soft sensilla over their entire lengths, with paired mushroom- or platter-shaped ascoids (Fig. 4). Scape and pedicel subsphaerical (scape irregularly). Ratio of lengths of segments of palpus maxillaris 1.2:1.0:1.2:3.3, two basal segments almost fused, maxilla (lacinia) not longer than two basal segments together (Fig. 10). Newstead’s scales of third palpal segment not evident. Mouthparts extending over mid length of palpus segment 3. Labial lobes (labella) (Fig. 11) prolonged with a little swollen sides, parallel inner lines of small microsetae are visible. Cibarium (Figs. 1, 5) longer than broad, well sclerotized, without chitinous arch or armature. Thorax. Anepisternum with elliptical, narrowed (strangled or strangulated) medially (in the middle) setose patch (Fig. 12), thoracic spiracle is kidney-shaped. Wing length 3.5 (holotype) - 3.8 mm (paratype), inconspicuously clouded, almost 4 times longer than wide (Fig. 7). Sc ending free in wing area at almost one third of wing length. R1 long, radial fork placed before ending of R1, arising conspicuously distal to medial fork; medial fork arising distal to r-m by distance equal to twice the length of r-m. R2+3 3.2 and 2.3 times longer than R2 and R3, respectively. M3 and CuA1 run across basally and arcuated before ending of CuA2, both with connections to M1+2 and CuA1. A1 ending free in the wing basis. Following veins strengthened: Sc, R1, R5 and CuA1. Veins are quite clearly attached to the costa, but mostly slightly less heavily sclerotized near their apex. Halteres (Fig. 6) almost ovoid with a prolonged stem, bare. Ratio of maximum length of halteres to their maximum width approximately 4.0:1. Ratios of lengths of femora, tibiae and first tarsal segments: P1 1.1:2.0:1.0, P2 1.2:2.3:1.0, P3 1.3:2.6:1.1. Paired tarsal claws of P1 haired basally as in Fig. 8, widened in the middle and bent distad. Areas of insertion points of elongate erectile setae of paired verrucae of medial abdominal segments (tergal chaetotaxy) and microsetae see on Fig. 15. Terminalia. Hypandrium narrow (observed in paratype Cat. No. 34712), approximately as wide as distiphallus in lateral view, fused to gonocoxites, more sclerotized antero-medially. Epandrium (Figs. 16, 17) quadrangular in dorsal view, about twice as long as wide, more than 3: 1 in lateral view. Ventral plate (Fig. 16) reduced to proximal and distal stripe margins, connected by narrower ligaments laterally on both sides of epandrium. Hypoproct largely triangular, tongue-shaped, epiproct oval with longitudinal sclerotized medial rib, both parts setose (Figs. 16, 17). Cerci cylindrical from dorsal view, bluntly pointed distally, broadly round in lateral view (Figs. 16, 17). Gonocoxite almost cylindrical (Figs. 13, 18), with numerous conspicuous setae alveoli dorsally and laterally, with several elongate setiform sensilla inserted medially. Gonostyle (Figs. 13, 14, 18) approximately a little shorter than gonocoxite, irregularly bulbose basally, with two quite different strong protuberances: undulated tapering arm with one tip and straight ramified arm with four pointed digits of different length. Parameres as figured (Fig. 9), flat, sclerotized. Ejaculatory apodeme (dissected, not figured) as long as epandrium, straight, stick-shaped, very narrow (see paratype Cat. No. 34712). Aedeagal complex on Figs. 19 and 20: Basiphallus with two characteristic prolonged sclerotized patches, connected with paired ovoid sclerites proximally. Bilobed U-shaped distiphallus is fixed in a cleft of two leaves originated hardly in the middle of phallus, rounded caudally in lateral view and pointed in dorsal view. Spines on both parts conspicuous. Differential diagnosis. Similar to Boreofairchildia sziladyi (Tonnoir, 1940). However, B. sziladyi is characterized by Sc distally connected to C and R1; median protuberance of gonostylus U-shaped, short-toothed, with shallow cleft and much-more longer sinuous projection dorsally; parameres with two pointed apices dorsally, both parts declinated. Boreofairchildia belti Ježek, Oboňa & Le Pont sp. nov. has ending of Sc free (Fig. 7), not connected to C and R1; median protuberance of gonostylus straight, ramified, with four pointed digits of different length and, moreover, undulated tapering arm dorsally (Figs. 13, 14, 18); parameres with one apice dorsally (Fig. 9). Boreofairchildia belti is similar as well to B. mopani (de León, 1950) in aedeagal complex, where gonostylus has only three apical long and slender protuberances, with bases contiguous, extended posteriorly; parameres of heavily sclerotized structures, blade-like, straight or slightly sinuous, not recurved, simple. Third palp segment evidently with a dense patch of Newstead´s scales at about middle in contrast to B. belti where this character is not evident. Type locality. Central Nicaragua, rain forerst on the Caribbean slope of the Cerro Musun, east of Matagalpa department. Type material. Holotype: male (NMPC, dissected, slide, red label), Nicaragua: Cerro Musun, v.-vi.2009, CDC miniature light-trap, Le Pont leg., Cat. No. 34711, Inv. No. 24165. Paratype: male (NMPC, dissected, yellow label), same data, Cat. No. 34712, Inv. No. 24166. Etymology. This species is named in honour of Thomas Belt, an English geologist and author of a highly regarded work „The naturalist in Nicaragua “ (1874). Distribution. Currently known from one locality in Central Nicaragua.Published as part of Ježek, Jan, Oboňa, Jozef, Pont, François Le, Maes, Jean-Michel & Mollinedo, Sergio, 2018, Two new species of Bruchomyiinae (Diptera, Psychodidae) from the Neotropical Region, pp. 469-478 in Zootaxa 4442 (3) on pages 470-474, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4442.3.8, http://zenodo.org/record/130377
Dating the landscape evolution around the Chauvet-Pont d’Arc cave
No full textIncludes author correction.International audienceThe Chauvet cave (UNESCO World Heritage site, France) is located in the Ardèche Gorge, a unique physical and cultural landscape. Its setting within the gorge-overlooking a meander cutoff containing a natural arch called the Pont d'Arc-is also remarkable. Investigating possible associations between sites' physical and cultural settings, chronologies of human occupation, and access conditions has become a major theme in archeological research. The present study aims to reconstruct the landscape of the Pont d'Arc meander cutoff during the Upper Paleolithic, when humans were present in the Chauvet Cave. We used uranium-series and electron spin resonance analyses to date the formation of the Pont d'Arc natural arch in the Combe d'Arc meander cutoff, near the Chauvet Cave. Results show that the meander became totally cutoff between 108 and 138 ka (95%). Hence, the natural arch formed before the Upper Paleolithic and the first known human presence in the Chauvet Cave, dated to 37 ka cal BP. These results allowed us to reconstruct a key part of the landscape surrounding the Chauvet Cave when it was being used by Upper-Paleolithic societies
