A percepção da arquitetura através da cor: um estudo de caso da cor aplicada no complexo do centro Dragão do Mar de arte e cultura em Fortaleza/CE

Este trabalho é uma pesquisa sobre a cor, suas teorias, seu processo de percepção pelo ser humano e sua aplicabilidade na arquitetura. O estudo de caso foi realizado no entorno do Centro Dragão do Mar de Arte e Cultura, localizado na cidade de Fortaleza, Ceará, cujo processo de restauração se iniciou pelo projeto cromático, através do movimento Cores da Cidade, proporcionando um novo espaço urbano multicolorido. Resgata-se um pouco da história das cores através de uma abordagem sobre as teorias elaboradas por diversos estudiosos do tema ao longo dos anos, considerando seus aspectos físicos, químicos e psicológicos. Além disso, é apresentado um item indispensável para a leitura de projetos: a percepção. Recorrer às principais abordagens feitas sobre este tema é importante para dispormos de ferramentas necessárias a uma boa compreensão do projeto selecionado, a fim de entendermos como a cor participa do processo de concepção do mesmo, e como atua perante os usuários e observadores no espaço construído. A idéia foi trabalhar a cor situando-a num contexto: o contexto da arquitetura. Qual seu real papel ao constituir um ambiente construído? Será mesmo real ou depende do emocional de cada um? Como perceber a arquitetura através das cores? Estas e outras perguntas guiaram as buscas para a elaboração deste trabalho

The Catholic Doctrine of Transubstantiation: An Exposition and Defense

The purpose of this thesis is to offer both an exposition and defense for the Catholic Church's traditional understanding of eucharistic transubstantiation. I hope to show how a belief in such a doctrine is in no way irrational nor is it indefensible; butinstead, the doctrine of transubstantiation makes sense when it is viewed in light of what Catholic Christians believe about who the human being is, what the human desires, and the special way in which God personally works in human history. The method I am following investigates how the doctrine of transubstantiation coheres with and follows the other beliefs that Catholics hold; that is, beginning with certain presuppositions, there is a certain rational progression to the Catholic understanding of real presence.

Plato's Doctrine Of Forms: Modern Misunderstandings

Among the philosophical ideas of Plato, perhaps the most famous is his doctrine of forms. This doctrine has faced harsh criticism due, in large part, to the interpretations of this position by modern philosophers such as René Descartes, John Locke, and Immanuel Kant. For example, Plato has been interpreted as presenting a ¿two-worlds¿ approach to form and thing and as advancing a rationalist approach to epistemology. His forms have often been interpreted as ideas and as perfect copies of the things of the visible world. In this thesis, I argue that these, along with other interpretations of Plato presented by the moderns, are based on misunderstandings of Plato¿s overall philosophy. In so doing, I attempt to show that the doctrine of forms cannot be directly interpreted into the language of Cartesian, Lockean, and Kantian metaphysics and epistemology, and thus should not be prematurely dismissed because of these modern Platonic interpretations. By analyzing the Platonic dialogues beside the writings of the modern philosophers, I conclude that three of the most prominent modern philosophers, as representatives of their respective philosophical frameworks, have fundamentally misunderstood the nature of Plato¿s famous doctrine of forms. This could have significant implications for the future of metaphysics and epistemology by providing an interpretation of Plato which adds to, instead of contradicts, the developments of modern philosophy.

Digital First Sale Doctrine Ante Portas – Exhaustion in the Online Environment

The purpose of the article is to provide first a doctrinal summary of the concept, rules and policy of exhaustion, first, on the international and EU level, and, later, under the law of the United States. Based upon this introduction, the paper turns to the analysis of the doctrine by the pioneer court decisions handed over in the UsedSoft, ReDigi, the German e-book/audio book cases, and the pending Tom Kabinet case from the Netherlands. Questions related to the licence versus sale dichotomy; the so-called umbrella solution; the “new copy theory”, migration of digital copies via the internet; the forward-and-delete technology; the issue of lex specialis and the theory of functional equivalence are covered later on. The author of the present article stresses that the answers given by the respective judges of the referred cases are not the final stop in the discussion. The UsedSoft preliminary ruling and the subsequent German domestic decisions highlight a special treatment for computer programs. On the other hand, the refusal of digital exhaustion in the ReDigi and the audio book/e-book cases might be in accordance with the present wording of copyright law; however, they do not necessarily reflect the proper trends of our ages. The paper takes the position that the need for digital exhaustion is constantly growing in society and amongst businesses. Indeed, there are reasonable arguments in favour of equalizing the resale of works sold in tangible and intangible format. Consequently, the paper urges the reconsideration of the norms on exhaustion on the international and EU level.
