Vaastu Shastras are architectural treatises of medieval India and are based upon a metaphysical design philosophy that is uniquely Hindu. Article traces the antecedents of settlement design in those sacred treatises, which deal with architectural
design at all scales, from ornaments and furniture to settlements. The latter, regardless of size, have the same conceptual division of space, vocabulary of shapes, and units of measurement. The goal is projection of the self into the building so
The application of zone-design methodology in the 2001 UK census
This paper reviews the automated zone-design procedures adopted for the creation of 2001 census output geography in the United Kingdom. A series of output area design scenarios are applied to microsimulation data, allowing the effects of the new
design constraints to be evaluated. The AA. identify the advantages of using an intra-area correlation measure for the maximization of social homogeneity within output areas.
Earthquake resistant building design codes and safety standards : the California experience
The 1906 San Francisco earthquake provided the first real impetus for establishing building design codes and safety standards. Subsequent major California earthquakes led to additional seismological understanding and engineering response in the form
of enhanced buiding design codes. Nonetheless, the process to incorporate good seismic design and mitigation efforts has been slow. Even in the absence of catastrophe, it is still important to guard against a false sense of security.
Soil horizon designations; Past use and future prospects
This paper briefly reviews the history of soil horizon designation use and, in an attempt to promote discussion, presents some possible future developments in the nature and use of these widely used symbols.
Le design urbain est en relation directe avec le signifiant de la ville. Dans la société capitaliste, la production de ce urban meaning va dans le sens du renforcement des intérêts dominants.

The AA. uses a new experimental design method that can easily deal with large numbers of attributes and/or levels. The idea is to select experimental points or profiles that are uniformly scattered in the problem domain. The key of uniform design
is therefore to select designs that have maximum uniformity. The new method is illustrated and tested by a case of intercity transport mode choice.
Urban planning and design in the Soviet North: the Noril'sk experience
Another installment in a series of articles on urban and economic development at Noril'sk focuses on the experiences in urban planning and design. Special attention is devoted to efforts to defend the city from strong winds and blowing snow through
