New Aesop Fables
No full textThis book follows up on the author's 2004 book, "Giga: New Aesopian Fables for the 21st Century." The present oversized (8½" x 11") book offers 100 fables with frequent black-and-white illustrations taken from earlier Japanese artists. As was true in the earlier work, the illustrations are not particularly well rendered. I read the first five fables and liked them. "The Woodcutter and the Pig" aptly moralizes "You will be possessed by your possessions if you can not find happiness within yourself" (11)." Grandmother's advice about how to be a great leader only leads to three clowns inviting the advisee to join them (12)! A wife returns after several days away to find the house a mess. She is ready to scold when she learns that it was the needs of her own mother and brother that led to the mess (15-16). Two pitchers argue about their merits but then find themselves sitting on the shelf and getting covered with dust while the woman of the house uses an old metal jug (16-17). The author, who has long lived in Japan, has a lively sense of the wisdom people need!Robert W. Lon

Nowe spojrzenie na planowanie architektury mieszkaniowej w afryce subsaharyjskiej
No full textThe author shares his reflections on state of art in housing and urban planning, deficiencies, expectations and possibilities in the Sahel region of Africa. He notices, that the housing problem in Africa is one of the challenges, which should be solved in order to recover life dignity of African people and secure their rights to traditional family life in acceptable conditions. The paper describes the studies on the typical dispersed urban structures and the need to foster this type of settlement structure and proposals of introduction of new on light steel frame housing system in the area of Sahel, combining the traditional way of building houses with modern technology. The particularly analysed case, is the housing problem in the Republic of Chad. The author presents the basic discussion on this topic and his architectural proposals. Unfortunately, the gap between the needs and the financial feasibility of housing construction in this area, makes this project already at the starting point extremely difficult to be realized without external subventions.Problem mieszkaniowy w Afryce jest jednym z wyzwań, które należy rozwiązać, aby Afrykanie mogli odzyskać godność życiową i zabezpieczyć swoje prawa do tradycyjnego życia rodzinnego w akceptowalnych warunkach. W artykule opisano badania nad typowymi rozproszonymi strukturami miejskimi i potrzebą wspierania tego typu struktur osadniczych oraz propozycji wprowadzenia nowego systemu konstrukcji domów, opartym na lekkim szkielecie stalowym, łączącym tradycyjny sposób budowania domów z nowoczesną technologią. Przypadkiem szczególnie analizowanym jest problem mieszkaniowy w Republice Czadu. Autor przedstawia podstawową dyskusję na ten temat i swoje propozycje architektoniczne. Niestety luka między potrzebami mieszkaniowymi w Czadzie a finansową wykonalnością budownictwa mieszkaniowego w tym obszarze sprawia, że projekt ten, już w punkcie wyjścia, jest niezwykle trudny do realizacji bez uzyskania zewnętrznych dotacji
