Analyzing Wooden Frame Design Principles of Hue Imperial Palaces, Vietnam | Chapter 2 | Engineering Research: Perspectives on Recent Advances Vol. 6

The Complex of Hue Monuments (abbreviated as the Monuments) is well-known for its wealth of scientific materials for research. This paper begins by introducing the features of the Wooden Frame of the Twin-Ridge Beam Building (abbreviated as the Twin-Buildings), which represent the highest level of the Hue Imperial Palaces (abbreviated as the Imperial Palaces). The Twin-Buildings are an important component of the Complex of Hue Monuments, recognized as UNESCO’s first World Cultural Heritage site in Vietnam in December 1993. Next, this paper examines the design principles of the Wooden Frame of the Twin Buildings, which were used exclusively for special functions such as residences in the Palaces, worshipping halls in the Shrines of the ancestors, and the Temples of succeeding Emperors’ mausoleums. Designing and constructing the Twin-Buildings represents one of the most challenging techniques among the Monuments. Primarily based on the historical documents of the Nguyen dynasty, surveys of the remaining Twin-Buildings, dimensional analysis, investigations into traditional design methods, interviews with traditional master carpenters, and study results on the floor plan design principles, this research seeks to redefine the design principles of the Wooden Frame of the Twin-Buildings. Through this study, the architectural proportions, design principles, and design processes of the Wooden Frame have been concretely identified. This research provides a comprehensive understanding of the principles behind the wooden frame design of the Twin-Buildings in the Imperial Palaces. Furthermore, the findings published in this paper serve as a valuable reference for researchers, graduate students, and architecture students. They contribute to academic education and scientific research, while also providing an important database and knowledge base for the restoration and reconstruction of the Monuments.

Lifelong Learning: Challenges and Principles | Chapter 2 | Current Research in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 1

 Aim/Purpose: For some years, the concept of lifelong learning has piqued people's curiosity. The rapid advancement of digital technology is one of the reasons for this. The goal of this study is to generate knowledge that will aid in the development of lifelong learning education.

Universities have a number of issues in satisfying the increased demand for lifelong learning. One difficulty is that most curricula are not geared for lifelong learning. Several colleges seek to be appealing education partners for adult students with work experience at the same time. There is a dearth of normative and prescriptive support to steer the development of lifelong learning education.

Design science research, interviews, grounded theory, and root-cause analysis are among the methods used.

Contribution:

A master's programme in information systems that encourages lifelong learning is a contribution to practise. Contribution to theory: Advances in design knowledge that can guide the construction of education programmes in light of rapid digital technology improvements.

Findings: Consider rapid digital technology development, balance time-consuming bureaucratic procedures with companies' demands for quick access to new modern courses, simplify procedures for students applying with work experience qualifications, implement plans for teacher competence development, and base courses on rigour and relevance. The key conclusion is that universities face a strategic necessity to widen access to lifelong learning as a result of rapid technological advancement. We can also conclude that tight collaboration between academics and practitioners will aid in the design of lifelong learning.

Social Inclusion, Active Citizenship, Personal Development, Competitiveness, and Employability are all enhanced through lifelong learning.

Future Research: Further validation of the design concepts in order to provide knowledge that can aid in the development of lifelong learning education.
