Beyond materiality: mud as a living material in heritage preservation
▻https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frsc.2025.1550496
This paper investigates the multifaceted role of mud in heritage preservation, focusing on the Bayt Isa restoration project in old Irqah within Wadi Hanifa, a site rich in historical significance in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It aims at investigating the importance of mud beyond its geophysical properties, examining it as a semiotic material imbued with cultural meaning, sensorial qualities, and traditional communal practices. Furthermore, departing from a private restoration initiative, it is looking to learn from endeavors unbound by conventional building regulations and that could inform heritage preservation projects in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere in the world. To explore the role of mud in heritage preservation, the research relies on a literature review and a case study (...)
swissmiss | A #love Letter To People Who Believe in People
▻https://www.swiss-miss.com/2025/04/a-love-letter-to-people-who-believe-in-people.html
What we suffer from to-day is humility in the wrong place. Modesty has moved from the organ of ambition. Modesty has settled upon the organ of conviction; where it was never meant to be. A man was meant to be doubtful about himself, but undoubting about the truth; this has been exactly reversed. Nowadays the part of a man that a man does assert is exactly the part he ought not to assert—himself. The part he doubts is exactly the part he ought not to doubt—the Divine Reason. Huxley preached a humility content to learn from Nature. But the new sceptic is so humble that he doubts if he can even learn. Thus we should be wrong if we had said hastily that there is no humility typical of our time. The truth is that there is a real humility typical of our time; but it so happens that it is (...)

Stakeholder dynamics and sustainable waste management in peri-urban settings: a case study of actor interactions in Indonesia
▻https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frsc.2025.1509601
This study investigates stakeholder dynamics within the TPS3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Waste Processing Site) waste management program in Tulungagung Regency, East Java, Indonesia. TPS3R, a community-driven waste management initiative, aims to mitigate waste generation’s environmental and health impacts by promoting waste segregation, recycling, and circular economy practices. Tulungagung Regency was chosen for its representative peri-urban characteristics, including rapid urbanization and the coexistence of urban and rural attributes. The study employs the MACTOR (Matrix of Alliances and Conflicts: Tactics, Objectives, and Recommendations) methodology to analyze interactions among 15 key stakeholders, encompassing government officials, local community members, and environmental (...)
Modular integrated construction as a development strategy for post-COVID urban sustainability: the case of Hong Kong
▻https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frsc.2025.1553276
The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) suggest a broader concept of health as the focus of development, i.e., economic growth to take into account of the health and wellbeing of a diversity of people included by age, gender, ability, ethnicity, economic status, region, and generation. With this understanding, a city’s development strategy should aim for win-win solutions for the broadest inclusion of people. The global pandemic has caused world economic recession and rising geopolitical tensions, but also the opportunity of digitalization and economic restructuring for more sustainable solutions. This study aims to explore sustainability solutions for the Hong Kong government under this situation, with particular reference to strategic choices related to construction. The Hong Kong (...)
