The Influence of Asian Immigration on the Architectural Culture of Canada: A Study on the Preservation of Asian Culture and Identity in Architecture in Canada

Henry Hing-Yip Tsang(Henry Hing-Yip Tsang ) 한국캐나다학회 2017 Asia-Pacific Journal of Canadian Studies (APJCS) Vol.23 No.2

Immigrants from Asian countries to Canada has a history dating back to the 18th Century, and Asian-Canadians today make up an increasingly significant part of the Canadian population. As these communities grow over generations, they become an integral part of the culture and heritage of Canada’s own culture of multiculturalism. Originating from Asia and reestablishing themselves in Canada, immigrants carry with them culture, customs and away of life to their new home, ranging from new food, fashion, customs, language and even the way to construct buildings. This paper studies the relationship of Asian immigrant communities with the spaces and buildings they occupy, and how they inhabit and adapted spaces, buildings and cities to represent the culture and identity of their country of origin. In particular, the paper will focus on three major Asian ethnic groups: Chinese, Japanese and Korean, trace their paths and identify major tendencies in how each have attempted to preserve culture and express identity in the design of significant buildings in their communities. The research methodology consists firstly of literature review on the subject of Asian immigration and the mapping of major architectural style trends in Canada. Secondly, a selection of buildings were identified from each community for further analysis, including site visits, study of architectural drawings, plans, photographs, as well as interviews with building occupants to better understand the significance of these buildings and how they were conceived to represent their ethnic communities. Preliminary results indicate that the Chinese community, with along history of immigration to Canada, expresses identity mainly in the exterior appearance of the buildings. The Japanese community has a scattered history of immigration to Canada and the expression of identity is rather subdued and the expression is present mainly in the building’s interior. The Korean community is relatively young in Canada, and has a tendency to adapt existing spaces and buildings, while expressing culture and identity through signage and decoration.

A Brief Review of the Traditional Indigenous Architecture of Canada

Henry Hing-Yip Tsang(Henry Hing-Yip Tsang ) 한국캐나다학회 2020 Asia-Pacific Journal of Canadian Studies (APJCS) Vol.25 No.2

The identity of Canadian architecture is hard to define. Many waves of immigration of all contributed in sculpting the built environment in Canadian cities. Identity has much to do with origins, therefore tracing Canadian architecture should start by studying the architecture of our First Nations and indigenous people. This paper briefly explores the roots of Canadian architecture tracing back to the various indigenous tribes of Canada and outlines the main characteristics of the vernacular architecture built by these people. This paper review seven major typologies of indigenous architecture found in Canada: the Wigwam, the Longhouse, the Tipi, the Pit House, the Thule Winter House, the Plank House and the Igloo. Different indigenous tribes construct different styles of architecture as shelters that respond to their particular abodes and lifestyle. For instance, tribes living in colder climates construct narrow entrance tunnels for preventing cold wind drifts, whiles other tribes dig earth and construct their shelters protected by tree bark and soil. Further, living styles also influence the different types of shelters. Nomadic tribes carry thin long logs and animal hide with them and construct Pit Houses in places where they spend days chasing bison herds. Other tribes, engaged in agriculture therefore need a more permanent residence, such as the Iroquois who build Longhouses with wood bark and mats. Although this paper is brief, it lays the foundation for those who wish to understand and pursue further research into the different typologies of indigenous architecture of Canada.

The Use of the UNIDROIT Principles as Neutral Law in Arbitration

Henry Deeb Gabriel 한국중재학회 2013 중재연구 Vol.23 No.3

This article discusses the use of the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts in international commercial arbitration. Because the Principles are designed specifically for cross‐border commercial transactions, the use of the Principles avoids many of the legal rules that would govern from otherwise applicable domestic law that do not reflect the expectations of parties in international trade.

Pediatric photodermatoses

( Henry W Lim ) 대한피부과학회 2013 대한피부과학회 학술발표대회집 Vol.65 No.2

Pediatric photodermatoses can be classified into 4 groups: immunologically-mediated, drug- and chemical-induced, hereditary, and photoaggrevated. An immunologically-mediated photodermatosis, polymorphous light eruption and its variant, juvenile spring eruption, is the most common photodermatosis seen in pediatric patient population. Aside from photoprotection, management includes hardening with narrowband UVB, and for young adults, a 1 week course of oral corticosteroids prior to intense sun exposure such as vacation in a sunny location. Other immunologically-mediated photodermatoses include actinic prurigo (mostly seen in American Indians), and hydroa vacciniforme (possible association with Epstein-Barr virus). Drug-induced photodermatoses are uncommon because of low prevalence of exposure to phototoxic medications in pediatric patients. Some of the porphyrias, examples of chemical-induced photodermatosis, have onset in childhood. The most common one is erythropoietic protoporphyria (potential new treatment: subcutaneous afamelanotide, an analogue of α -melanocyte stimulating hormone). Other pediatric porphyrias are congenital erythropoietic porphyria, porphyria cutanea tarda, hepatoerythropoietic porphyria, hereditary coproporphyria and variegate porphyria. Selected examples of hereditary photodermatoses will be discussed (xeroderma pigmentosum, trichothidystropy, Rothmund Thompson syndrome). Lupus erythematosus and dermatomyositis are the most common photoaggrevated dermatoses. Finally, the role of photoprotection and vitamin D in pediatric population will be discussed, with the current recommendation of daily vitamin D intake of 400 IU for 0-1 year-old, and 600 IU for 1-70 year-old.

Eurasian polities as hybrid regimes: The case of Putin's Russia

Henry E. Hale 한양대학교 아태지역연구센터 2010 Journal of Eurasian Studies Vol.1 No.1

Most Eurasian countries' political systems are not accurately described as some version of either democracy or authoritarianism. Nor does it advance social science to study each of these countries' political systems as being completely unique, sharing no significant commonalities with those of other countries. Instead, it is more fruitful to understand many Eurasian countries as a type of hybrid regime, a system that combines important elements of both democracy and autocracy in some way. One of the most important features of Eurasia's hybrid regimes, one that is shared by many hybrid regimes worldwide, is that they combine contested elections with pervasive political clientelism. Political developments in these countries can thus be usefully understood as machine politics, and the development of political systems can be understood as processes of rearranging the components of the machines in different ways. The usefulness of this approach is demonstrated through an in-depth study of the Russian Federation. It is argued that Russian political development under Putin is best understood not as “authoritarianization” but as a process in which Russia transitioned from a system of “competing pyramids” of machine power to a “single-pyramid” system, a system dominated by one large political machine. It turns out that in single-pyramid systems that preserve contested elections, as does Russia, public opinion matters more than in typical authoritarian regimes.

X-RAYING LARGE-SCALE STRUCTURE

HENRY J. PATRICK The Korean Astronomical Society 2004 Journal of The Korean Astronomical Society Vol.37 No.5

We review the observational evidence for the existence of a warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM). We expect that the morphology of this material is similar to that of cosmic rays and magnetic fields in large-scale structure, i.e., filaments connecting clusters of galaxies. Direct evidence for the WHIM, either in emission or absorption, is weak.

Communal Brand Associations as Drivers of Team Identity and Consumer Behavior

Henry Wear 글로벌지식마케팅경영학회 2018 Journal of Global Sport Management Vol. No.

Increasingly, sport management scholars have been examining sport fans and teams through a brand community lens, where fans are viewed as a community of identified consumers. However, there remains a need to further examine the role that sport team brands play in creating a sense of community and the behavioral outcomes this may catalyze. The purpose of this research was twofold: (1) to investigate how communal brand associations influence team identity; and (2) to examine whether team identity mediated the relationship between communal brand associations and behavioral intentions. Utilizing an adapted brand association instrument and multidimensional team identity instrument, we found that communal brand associations significantly influenced team identification. Further, team identity mediated the relationship between communal brand associations and consumer behavior.
