#humanitarian architecture

[vicshush]

[ID 1: A photo of the underside of a bridge. Based on the visible nearby cars on an adjacent road and the next photos, the space is at least 10 ft (3 m) tall and it is wide and long enough to park a minimum of 16 cars. The ground is covered with short, rectangular columns of stone, like irregularly-sized bricks, placed about a foot (third of a meter) apart in a very rough grid.

ID 2 & 3: Two photos of an older man with glasses, a medical mask, and a thin white fringe of hair. He is wearing a yellow smock over a white lab coat.

In the first photo, he has one hand resting on the long handle of a sledgehammer that is head down, upright on the ground, while he is looking out from under the bridge. The man is standing at the background edge of the space, based on the first photo. Around his feet are the short stone columns, but it looks like several rows from the edge have been partially destroyed, to the point that the space is much more navigable, and some have been completely reduced to rubble.

In the second photo, the man is in the foreground, holding the sledgehammer with both hands, lining up a swing at the base of one of the short stone columns.

So recently the mayor of my city placed a bunch of sharp stones under a bridge commonly used by homeless people to escape the harsh tropical storms we experience during the summer

A priest decided that was an utterly anti humanitarian course of action (rightfully so) and so his solution.. was to destroy those rocks with a hammer.

I'm not Catholic (in fact, I grew up Jewish and am now atheist) but I feel this is what religion is supposed to be about. Using the divine to help humans behave a little more... human.

How OCHA's Pooled Funds advance meaningful partnerships for innovations in humanitarian response (HAS 2024 Side Event).

This side events to be convened during the ECOSOC Humanitarian Affairs Segment will seek to reaffirm the need for trusted funding tools such as the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) and Country Based Pooled Funds (CBPF) as pivotal instruments within the global humanitarian architecture for enabling rapid and effective responses.

To enable decision-makers to allocate available resources on the basis of meeting the needs of the most vulnerable people in a timely and effective manner, engage in meaningful partnerships to advance in the most appropriate and accurate picture of critical needs against funding. The mobilization of resources from a more diverse range of actors – and the variety of modalities -- is imperative given the truly unprecedented scale of needs in ensuring humanity is restored to all.

What bts fs profession? and what they're up to right now? tyyyy 🤩🤩

÷ BTS future spouses' current professions/work ✷

K. Seokjin: They could already be financially independent (maybe because of generational wealth - it feels like they belong to the “wealthy elite”), their current job could be sth business/sales related in the communication/journalism/entertainment or design/aesthetic/beauty industry. It feels like they are creating some type of image for an audience and their work makes others feel emotions (news or film industry could also be likely). Their job might actually be a bit plain or just easy going but creative - like they're already rich but need a high position to keep the image up or sth like that. They could also be active at night, maybe it’s additional work they are doing on the side (but this feels more out of passion). I also feel like they’re often donating for a good cause or they’re doing some type of charity work. They are overall very precise and skillful. I think the work they’re currently doing on the side (at night/after work) will become their new main profession later on but it’s still a work in progress.

M. Yoongi: Their current job might be quite stressful or frustrating. They could be working in the healthcare field because possible themes I got were medicine/science/biology/sports/safety/counseling. They could be in a leader position and have a teaching role - ex. training other people. It feels like a unique job. Probably an office job. They could also be some type of influencer in their free time - ex. sharing their wisdom (related to their work) also on social media. 

J. Hoseok: Interesting… his future spouse also seems to have the talent to be a good performer (musician/actor/dancer/entertainer) but they are currently working a “normal” office job (business/management/administration) related to communication, logistics, IT, information systems and/or religion (?)... even the national intelligence service and the military comes to my mind lol. It's a consistent and I wanna even say monotonous job and they’re often working overtime as well. So, they might not be really happy there but they keep doing this job because it pays well. uff…

K. Namjoon: For his future spouse, it’s a bit difficult to define their current job. What I’ve got was that they're doing a “9 to 5” job (with overtime lol) and it’s more so a low paid job but it’s satisfactory to them. They probably work alone or just very independently or as some type of freelancer. There is a possibility that they are an owner or some type of entrepreneur. It feels like a job that values tradition and rituals or it has a long standing history (not really modern job so to say). It could be that they took on the job of their parents - like they took over the family business. Or they work in the acquisition field. A part of their daily job activities could be communication or marketing related. They are possibly doing something with their hands, using tools or just manual labor in general. Farm work even? Maybe humanitarian careers - working as mediator or healer (in metaphorical way) or something related to history or human studies. Their work is inspiring to them and even others. It's a rather calm (- maybe because they work alone) and harmonious job. 

P. Jimin: Well, his future spouse seems to be working towards self-employment. It could be that they are currently jobless and maybe doing some type of training or they are still studying. the profession they are aiming towards could be in a male dominated workplace. It might be something related to ‘the outdoors’ or ‘environment’ like architecture, planning and environmental design or something like power plants, technology and/or electricity. There is a chance they're also currently in the military - maybe in the food providing section (?) but that’s just a possibility. I feel like their ‘dream job’ is ever-changing and inconsistent or there is a wide variety of jobs they wanna do. It seems like they will/want to do a job that is revolutionary in some way. They wanna give back to the community. That’s their main motivation.

K. Taehyung: His future spouse might also be doing a traditional office job at the moment. It feels like a management or accounting job. they’re probably being respected by their coworkers and recognized for their work but it’s quite stressful for them. it could be a position of authority in some way because they seem to have an influence on their working field. It could be related to law or public policy (ex. a lawyer's office, court or a governmental institution). Using technical tools might be a thing or maybe they’re working mostly on their computer? It seems like they are not really happy with their current job or it’s not how they imagined it to be. It feels like they want to leave it behind and start something else. The hospitality/tourism/travel section might be something they want to move towards. They could also be currently doing a part time job on the side or something they are doing from home… maybe it’s just a hobby or something like freelancing work. It seems to be something related to beauty/aesthetic/illusions/spirituality (neptunian energy). Maybe they’re active on social media in their free time in some type of way. -> after marriage

J. Jungkook: It seems like his future spouse is still studying. It could be something related to medicine/health/science/biology. I think their parents had an influence on their decision on what they should choose as a study subject. They could have a part time job at the moment. Their job or studies possibly involves caring for animals and/or people, public service and/or public recognition. Their part time job seems more like a consistent office job that is not very satisfying to them. I feel like they’re meant to shine and they do so naturally but the job they're doing is draining their energy - it feels like they're forced to hide or hold back and it’s very private. Or maybe they witness something or are exposed to something which they need to hide and all of this is messing with their head, ex. maybe the company they're working for is doing some shady stuff in relation to finance and because they are successful at their job, they indirectly support this (?). Either way, there is some heavy energy here that leads to a dead end. In addition, it seems like they are also active on social media as an influencer in some way and it might also be a small side income for them.

Infraperegrination of the Utter Islands

Want to make or run something in Hingsajagra? Check this out.

First order of business, the state of affairs for Hingsajagra.

The year 11664 is largely parallel to our world's 20th Century, but without the huge advancements into machinery (while industry being important). More importantly, the world is an industrialistic world but industry is forwarded by magick and war. Industrialized magick. The end of the world that follows after World War I vibes.

The world is mostly split into five eras, as reckoned by Shennin scholarship. The modern year is 11,664 of the Lotus Calendar. This puts it at the 243rd Cycle of History.

1 - Burgeoning Era (1000s to 7000s.) The Agricultural Revolution. The time of Chiefdoms, Warbands, roving eras, Naka Kingdoms, Yakka Kingdoms, Siyukuy Kingdoms, etc. This era ended during The Ultimate Cleave. The great apocalypse that split the Great Southern Continent from the Dakmalan Continent and turned it into a fractured archipelago.

2 - The Ancient Era (8000s-9000s). The time of Ancient Shen, Ancient Metoma, and Ancient Razru cultures. Widely accepted that the end of this era was during the Black Meteor Cataclysm, an ancient Metoman prophecy that came true. A meteor slammed into the earth and shattered the Utter Islands even more, into its modern geography.

3 - The Classical Era (9000s-10,000s). A time of great upheaval, but also the rise of classical cultures. The influential Old Razru Empires, the Asitowan Principalities, the Lotus States (filled with the Jing, Rak, Sanun, Si, and Yun ethnic groups, which would eventually coalesce under the Meteorite Emperor to become the Shen people), Utrang kingdoms, the Yagan Kingdom, the Meshiri Kingdom, the Yeung Kingdom, the Natara Kingdom, the Kamitan Communes, the Dakai Tribes, the first few Raga tribes, the Tawun Chiefdoms, and more. It is widely accepted that this time only ended after the victory of Shen and the World Collective against the Devil King Roghan.

4 - The Rebirth Era (10,000s to 11000). The Industrial Revolution. The Smith-Kings and the Merchant Princes created textile factories, weapon factories, and machine tools. Most significant was the invention of the Karma Engine. Surplus yields across all industries, creating industry, as well as machineway of engineering and architecture. This era is said to have ended with the first Uprisings against Kings, spearheaded by humanitarian sages that arose during the time of increasing industry.

5 - The Modern Era (11000s to 11500s). The Bourgeois Revolution. The merchant princes and machine-capitalists seized the means of production and operated from there, hiring and putting laborers to work them. The power of these engines and the strength of free market trade caused even gods (see: Hri Vaizzan the God of Merchantry), spirits, and monsters (yakshas, anjuras, uki, etc.) to be subsumed into the labor force. It is widely believed that this era ended with the overthrow of the monarchies that ruled for 2500 years, represented the most with the First Apocalypse with the consummation of the Heavenly Shennin Kingdom spearheaded by the Invincible Blade Princess the Empress of the Universe. On the Fire Dog Year 11512 Kafeng Masagwa and the Knights of the World set to motion the First World Revolution that shattered all bourgeois and aristocrat rule. It was not to last.

6 - The Revolutionary Era (11500s to 11607s). The Hundred Revolutions Era. With the power of factories, the proletariat of the world fought to consolidate power, but with Kafeng Masagwa's death and growing distrust in the Knights, the world alliance shattered into nation-states. The nation states fought separately for national liberation, explosive uprisings filled the 100 Year Revolution. This caused unprecedented global bloodshed and violence. Wars that ended all wars. Separated into nations, they were easily cowed and beaten into "Peace" through the concerted efforts of the International Bourgeoisie, headed by the Universal Capitalists and the Trillionaires of the Trichiliocosm, which would quickly vanish as they appealed to the people. In the guise of a successful revolution, the revolutionary efforts were cowed. This era ended with the rising of the efforts of the Second World Knights Coalition who tried and failed to bind the people together in the face of unprecedented genocide. This was the Second World Revolution, which failed.

7 - The End Of The World (11608 to modern day). The End of the World. The bloodshed of the revolutionary era ended the world. The international bourgeoisie, headed now by the Central Yavinian Guild of the Ressen-Nalenji Empire, penetrates the world and seeks to join it together under the guise of "After The End" where the world must rise. The revolutionaries have been defeated and stamped down, the majority of the people, tired of war, do not want any more revolutions. Communism and Revolution is seen with contempt, as "mountaineers" and "foresters." As banditry and piracy. As detrimental to human progress. Will you prove them wrong? Or finish the job? You know it deep in your heart that there's only one way for the new world to be born.

The Karma Engine

The most important invention of the Revolutionary Era. It resembles a giant spirit house but with the offering platform replaced with a closed in sacrificial furnace. There, little gods, weaponsouls, ghosts, sacrificial people, and mantra-mandalas are burned upon samadhi fires. Karma Engines are therefore a joint machinist-monk invention (and indeed, the patenter of the technology is widely agreed to have been Vajra Monk Rakan Jesung, who grew up in a working-class machinist family).

In doing their karma is converted into usable energy, often electrical energy or mechanical energy. The study of karma is known as Karmalogy in the world. In Karmalogy, karma is seen as the potential energy of existence and being itself, and many Karmologists posit that the entire current world of Hingsajagra exists because of the Karma of the past world. When sentient beings are sacrificed to the Karma Engine, this is seen as a painful but purificatory ritual, and is deemed ethical by many world faiths as the being that dies from the Karma Engine's samadhi fires is almost always reborn as a human due to the neutralizing of their karma. Many who have surplus good karma do not go through this, and so the majority of criminals and harmful animals are given to the Karma Engine.

Infrakarmalogists, however, put forth that there are abundant amounts of ambient karma that arises from the world itself, surplus karma that emanates from the deeds of the past world, and this can be used to power karma engines without voluntary suicide.

Magnetitologists have been creating Magnetite Engines, which seek to replace Karma Engines. Magnetite is widely believed to be the infrasubstance, the aggregates of atoms. A level above the smallest quantum, where the material dissolves from perception. Magnetite arises from places of intense emotion and thoughts, and so it can be mined from worship, war, joy, and other such sites of powerful explosive emotion. Currently magnetite is being used in socialist Hokou and in Selorong. The bourgeoisie that own Karma Engines (many of them non-religious themselves) have become ardent anti-magnetitians, and have begun slander campaigns against them.

Important Bans

No default fantasy. The major cultural power of this world is China, Thailand, and Indonesia. Use their medieval aesthetics to fluence and inform your End of the World depictions.

No "races." Elves, dwarves, etc. aren't demihuman races, they're completely different magickal beings and spirits. Lean on the folklore.

No automatic rifles. The extent of guns is matchlocks. The chemistry of the world does not allow for automatic weapons. Armamental Technology therefore is focused on blade-and-bow-technologies. Sappers are important industrialists. There are Sword Factories, Bow Factories. Cannons exist but these are few and far between.

No automatic vehicles. Keep the cavalry, the chariot, the dragonriders and the phoenix knights. But no cars. Keep the carriages and the boats.

No tanks. Tanks are replaced by magick mechs called Yakshamachines.

No Latin. If you want to look for a lingua franca that performs the duty of Latin, use either Sanskrit, Old Chinese, or Old Javanese. In the World, they're Ancient Razrunan languages or Ancient Rakeen languages [Rak is where the Meteorite Emperor arose from and he turned it into the Court Language for the First Dynasty]) Yes, you can in fact translate Latin phrases into one of those languages. Such as Shantim Krute, Yuddhaya Sajjah for If you want peace, para bellum. Or bajingan perang for casus belli. Ignore this for prefixes and suffixes (e.g., -istry, -ology, -onomy). Keep it for proper nouns that must come from an in-world language.

Everything else we can justify into a 20th century analog. A kind of perfect ideal is Late Medieval Warfare.

Features

Non-exhaustible list.

Buildings. Large rectangular buildings are a feature of only one world place. Tall multiple-roofed places are still built with either wood or skystone (a stone of colder make) that creates a facsimile of our world.

Expressways. Don't exist. The world is connected together by railways and riverways. Riverboats are cheaper to make and use than karmaboats.

Industry. Industry hinges on the karma engine rather than the steam engine.

High-rises. High-rises are crafted by ancient building-wizards. The majority of high-rises in the world are giant yaksha statues hollowed out and repurposed.

Automata exist but are rare. It requires decades of study for a wizard to reach automata level construction. Automaton wizards are known as automatists.

Industry. Almost everyone has swords, but these swords come not from the artisan but from the worker working the weapon-machines. Wagons and horse bridles, tiger-bridles, clothing... all the mass-produced clothing arise from a Manufactory. The machines here are often created by either wizards, machinists, or gods and made to be owned by capitalists and merchants.

Inspirations and Approximations

Each major region is inspired by the following regions, though they're not exactly those regions. It would be impossible to fully map any of the regions accurately to a real world culture because of the difference in material conditions, but you can use the following for aesthetic, cultural, and religious inspirations.

Temog Ra-Om, the Charnel Isles, Pemi, and the Heavenshards are inspired by Maritime Asian cultures, Southeast Asian cultures, and Pacific cultures. This includes coastal Vietnam and Thailand.

Hiraga Ra-Om's southern coast inspired by inland Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Further up north it is inspired by China, Korea, Japan, Mongolia, Tibet, and other Central Asian cultures.

Jagged Swordfields people are inspired by Russo-Siberian people.

North Wadzara is inspired by Japan and West Coast America.

South and Eastern Wadzara is inspired by mixing Arabia and Central America.

Southern Nilatpa is inspired by the Indianic cultures.

Western Nilatpa is inspired by Spain, Germany, and France.

Central and Northern Nilatpa is inspired by Italy, England, and Danish cultures.

au where alan still goes Mannequin mode but instead of doing murders he still does architecture and humanitarian inventing

[reason-with-the-underdog]

an alternative career path for kaveh

(giving him a quarter-life crisis like the rest of us)

thinking about if kaveh went through a quarter life crisis after alcazarzaray and mehrak was the start of his new passion/career designing assistive technology/mobility aids

it could be an alternative path for him to go down that lets him combine practicality/utility, humanitarian/public spirited altruism, connecting with individual people, and creativity

in a way that maybe feels more fresh and less raw than architecture at that time (which is something he loves but also maybe can't bear to look at anymore bc "could i ever do anything better")

and with sumeru akademiya discouraging arts in general, its a career pivot that skirts the arts ban in a way that's even more directly benefiting the common person (everyone benefits from a more accessible society)

HOUSE OF HASTINGS (2025)

His Royal Highness The Duke of Hastings (Earl of Ponovo, Baron Gloucerstone) and wife Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Hastings; daughter Her Highness Lady Jane Cross and husband Lord Francis Cross; and son and heir to the dukedom of Hastings His Highness Lord Jonathan.

Prince Vester is the only son of Prince Albert, Duke of Hastings, and grandson of Edward I and Queen Lara-Leigh. His father died before he and his twin sister (Viola) were born. Although he and his sister were granted HRH styles at birth, Vester was not bestowed his father's dukedom. At the time of his birth, he was 9th in the line of succession to the Windenburg throne.

Prince Vester was finally bestowed the dukedom of Hastings in March 2023 by King George I, shortly before the sovereigns death, after members of the royal family had petitioned for decades in favor.

The Duke has quickly become associated with over 150 charities and organizations. His patronages reflect his professional and personal interests, which include international humanitarian issues, heritage and the built environment and military veterans. Many of The Duke's Patronages are related to architecture and conservation, both areas in which The Duke remains deeply interested.

The Duke is Patron or President of many charities and organizations, covering a diverse range of causes and interests, ranging from the Windenburg Association of Friends of Museums, Windenburg-Americreek Society to St Bartomous's Hospital, and the Windenburg Homeopathic Association to the Mt Komorebi Society.

The Duchess, a defense attorney, ran a private practice. After becoming Duchess of Hastings in 2023, Hattie stopped practicing law but remains president of the firms board. The Duchess has been involved in many of the dukes patronages such as University College Hospital.

UCLH has had a decades-long and special relationship with the Royal Family. His late Majesty King George I was Patron of University College Hospital and the Royal Easton Hospital for Integrated Medicine until his death in 2023, Queen Katherine is now patron of the latter. In one of his last major public engagements before his death, he opened UCLH’s Royal National ENT and Southman Dental Hospitals in October 2022. The Duchess has also visited several of their hospitals, most recently UCLH's Royal Walden Cancer Centre in August 2024.

[liketwoswansinbalance]

How do you think the twins (like all of them in SGE) would act in real life?

I'm not sure if I'm interpreting your question correctly, so you can correct me if I'm wrong! I will take the ask to mean that you'd like to know how I think they would they adjust to our modern world, not necessarily them in a Modern AU. (Also, would you like me to include Castor and Pollux? I'm not sure if I'd have an immediate response for them, but I'll try to think of something, if you'd like me to.)

Sophie and Rise Rhian would probably embrace modern conveniences, and Rhian would likely exhibit more fear than Sophie would, in response to them, or he'd conceptualize things like electricity, for instance, as a just another form of sorcery. They would both appreciate modern cosmetics and technology, and Sophie would probably never want to return to old, backward ways when the future is so pristine and sanitary. Rhian, however, would mourn the great architectural feats of our past and our obsession with pragmatism and designs purely focused on utility. Unfortunately, I could see them being prone to believing absurd, medical/political conspiracy theories, and their germophobia becoming worse.

Agatha, Rafal, TCY Rhian, and Japeth would be more skeptical about modernity, at first, I think. Agatha would probably grow used to it, but continue to live by her old ways and values, in many cases. She might get into environmentalism, humanitarian causes, or antiwar efforts, etc. If either Rafal, Rhian, or Japeth saw a use or benefit to modern technology and ways of life, they would likely adapt, especially if it could get them something they desperately wanted. Rhian would probably use some form of broadcasting or social media frequently—and eventually get cancelled. I could also see Rafal or Japeth trying to radically change or impact the modern world if it provoked them. Japeth could go down the activism route (if it's in regards to his being gay), but I can't see him being that selfless about others' rights, others who have nothing to do with him, and I can't come up with any modern objects or activities that might appeal to him. Maybe, he'd even disavow modern technology, if it proved it weren't a means to getting Aric back. In addition, I could also see Rafal being incredibly rude in commanding voice-operated devices, and refusing to entertain the trivial, human-like gestures machines are programmed to recite, like greetings, and he would rarely use "please" and "thank you" in his commands. He'd have no patience for small talk or manufactured, repetitive, pleasantness because it's just a machine, and he'd be damned if a machine expected more respect from him than any human subordinate ever would! And, he'd get irrationally offended by certain output before he realized why things did what they were preprogrammed to do, such as give simple-minded answers that could appear to be an insult to his intelligence and common sense, as, a machine couldn't know his identity. After all, machines aren't capable of being hostile like Adela Sader was. So, eventually, he'd learn. Also, getting automated or human directions from the bodiless voices of intercom systems, at self-checkout lines, or on public transportation would probably infuriate him because he's so used to being the greatest authority at all times. Why abide the law when you can keep above it?

Deadly Russian Attacks on Lviv’s Historic District

Civilians Killed, Schools Damaged in Western Ukrainian City

In Ukraine’s western city of Lviv, today is a day of mourning.

On September 4 at about 6 a.m., Russian air attacks struck the city’s historic district, killing civilians and damaging civilian buildings and infrastructure.

Seven people were killed, Lviv Mayor Andryi Sadovyi reported on Telegram, including four members of the same family: a 43-year-old mother and her three daughters, ages 7, 18, and 21. Only their father survived. Sixty-six people, including 10 children, required medical assistance, and 12 were rescued from under the rubble, Sadovyi said.

Local authorities said the attacks damaged about 50 civilian objects, including homes, medical facilities, and local architectural landmarks, located in Lviv’s historic district, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The attacks also damaged seven educational facilities, including a primary school and three secondary schools, affecting 1,456 children. Because of the early hour, no children or staff were in the schools.

An official from the city council education department told Human Rights Watch that Lyceum No. 5 on Kokorudza Street suffered damage to dozens of windows and classroom doors, as well as the stairwell. The school remains closed. Lyceum No. 17 sustained damage to over 100 windows as well as doors and the main gate. It reopened the next day and some students from Lyceum No. 5 will temporarily attend classes there.

Russia’s war against Ukraine has had a devastating, lasting impact on Ukrainian children’s access to education. The Ukrainian government reported that nearly 4,000 educational facilities have been damaged or destroyed since the full-scale invasion in February 2022. In Russia-occupied areas, children are subjected to the Kremlin’s anti-Ukraine propaganda, in violation of international humanitarian law. Active hostilities put children at risk and disrupt education.
