Arquitectura judicial en Aragón en la última centuria

La arquitectura judicial puede considerarse como la manifestación construida de uno de los aspectos fundamentales que definen una cultura, periodo histórico, o ámbito geográfico, que es la administración de justicia en cada sociedad. La Ley y el Derecho requieren unos ámbitos espaciales singulares en los que desarrollar los procesos que culminan con el acto judicial, el contraste de versiones e investigaciones que tienen como objetivo la búsqueda de la verdad por encima de todo. La arquitectura se configura como el escenario en el que tiene lugar el juicio, y ha de contribuir en este noble cometido. El conocimiento de la arquitectura judicial requiere -en primera instancia- un análisis arquitectónico, pero además esta visión se puede y se tiene que enriquecer con los enfoques que la propia práctica jurídica ha de aportar, y que en gran medida condicionan su creación y proyecto, en todo lo relativo a funcionalidad y simbología. Sin olvidar que nuestra formación es fundamentalmente arquitectónica, cabe plantear que el área de conocimiento a la que va dirigida esta investigación también se abre en diversas vías, que parten de la confluencia de aspectos legales, arquitectónicos, urbanos, y simbológicos. Además, todos estos aspectos son planteados en relación con las particularidades de una región concreta, Aragón, donde la ley ha tenido sus propias manifestaciones y códigos, donde la arquitectura y la ciudad se han contextualizado en un lugar concreto, y donde la simbología ha tenido su manera particular de transmitirse. Respecto a los objetivos que esta tesis plantea, podemos plantear en un primer estadio el análisis del carácter de la arquitectura judicial, como concepto y expresión amplia que manifiesta la función del edificio y su traducción en una simbología propia, y que queda vinculado, por lo tanto, a la funcionalidad de los procedimientos que en él tienen lugar y a la solemnidad alegórica de la Justicia. Para llevar a cabo este estudio se pretende establecer una metodología de estudio propia, que surge de considerar como valores formativos del tipo de arquitectura judicial a la tríada de valores urbanos, funcionales, y simbólicos. En primer lugar se evaluará la repercusión urbana de la arquitectura judicial, conforme a su consideración de equipamiento publico representativo de una sociedad. Se analizará, por lo tanto, si se dan posiciones urbanas concretas o arbitrarias, y si éstas se pueden tratar como una constante histórica. En segundo lugar, la especificidad y delicadeza de los usos que alberga llevan consigo planteamientos funcionales absolutamente complejos y específicos. Se considera que merece la pena analizarlos para evaluar si son propios de este tipo de arquitectura, así como su posible origen e implicación en la construcción del espacio judicial. En tercer lugar, se analizarán los edificios judiciales desde su consideración de soporte de una gran cantidad de materializaciones de simbológicas, no sólo desde un punto de vista iconográfico, sino además vinculadas a los procesos y ordenamientos judiciales, que se traducen en la construcción de espacios con una fuerte carga simbólica y escenográfica. En un segundo estadio se analiza la validez de la aplicación de dichos valores en el estudio de una serie de casos concretos de la arquitectura judicial en el territorio de Aragón en el siglo XX. Se buscará con ello la posibilidad de establecer variantes geográficas y temporales al tipo propias de esta comunidad, con unas particularidades forales que pueden dar lugar a ellas, así como posibles líneas evolutivas, o por el contrario, la imposibilidad de establecer pautas y relaciones a partir del análisis de los casos concretos y su valoración global. ABSTRACT Judicial architecture can be seen as the built manifestation of one of the key aspects that define a culture, a historical period, or a geographic scope, which is the administration of justice in every society. Law requires specific spaces to develop its own proceedings, that culminate with the judicial act. It is the contrast of versions and investigations that have an objective, the search for the truth. Architecture is configured as the stage in which the trial takes place, and has to contribute to this noble task. The knowledge of the judicial architecture requires -in the first instance - an architectural analysis, but in addition this vision can be enriched by some questions from the legal practice. They determine project decissions, specially functional and symbologycal aspects. Our main visión of the theme is architectural, but this research is also opened in many ways, that com from the confluence of legal, architectural, urban, and simbologic aspects In addition, all these questios are considered in relation to the peculiarities of a specific region, Aragon, where the law has its own manifestations and codes, where the architecture and the city have been contextualized in a particular way, and where the symbology has its particular way to be transmitted. About the objectives that this thesis purposes, we can suggest in a first stage the analysis of the character of the judicial architecture, as a concept that expresses the function of a building, and its translation into a particular symbology, allegorical to the solemnity of the Justice. To carry out the investigation proccess is neccesary to define a new methodology. It comes form considering the formative values of the judicial architecture, developed on the triad of urban, functional, and symbolic, values. Firstly, we analyse the urban aspects of judicial architecture, according to its consideration as a main public equipment of a society. Therefore we can search for specific or arbitrary urban locations of the courts, and if they can be considered as historic constants. Secondly, we analyse the specificity an complexity of the judicial uses, their possible origin, and involvement in the construction of judicial space. Thirdly, we analyse the court as scenographic stage, that support lots of symbolic elements and aspects linked to legal system. The second stage applies the values methodology on judicial architecture in Aragon in the twentieth century, with the possibility of establishing geographical and temporal variants os the court type in this community, or on the contrary, the inability to establish patterns and relationships from the analysis of specific cases and their overall rating.

The Profiling of Property, Plant & Equipment (PPE) Contributions in Australia and Malaysia Public Listed Construction Companies

The purpose of this paper is to study the profiling of property, plant and equipment (PPE) contributions in Australia and Malaysia construction companies. A company’s worth is usually based on the listed share price on the stock exchange. In arriving at the net profit, the contribution of PPE in the company’s assets is somehow being neglected. This paper will investigate the followings; firstly the level of PPE contribution in the construction firms by comparing the PPE contributions to the company’s asset as a whole which includes fixed (non-current) assets and current assets. This will determine the true strength of the companies, rather than relying on the share prices alone. Secondly, the paper will determine the trend of company’s asset ownership to show the company’s performance of the PPE ownership during the period of study. The data is based on the selected construction companies listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) and Malaysian Stock Exchange, known as Bursa Malaysia. The profiling will help to determine the strength of the construction firms based on the PPE holding, and the level of PPE ownerships in the two countries construction firms during the period of study.
