En todo el mundo existen ejemplos de arquitectura excavada en roca, incluso cuando no hay evidencia de la influencia entre las culturas que la generaron; éste es un ejemplo de soluciones similares a problemas y circunstancias parecidas: Mesoamérica no es la excepción. Este escrito se enfoca en dos ejemplos de arquitectura monolítica relevantes, donde es evidente un minucioso estudio del sitio, el material y el suelo, así como la mano de obra especializada, tanto en la ejecución como en la planeación y diseño. La compleja solución arquitectónica de Malinalco y Tetzcotzingo responde a una ideología y un simbolismo que son una constante en la arquitectura mesoamericana. Entre los objetivos de investigación, está el estudio de la solución constructiva (desde el punto de vista arquitectónico) como respuesta, no sólo a la limitante geográfica y material de los sitios, sino al aspecto simbólico relacionado directamente con el uso.
Examples of architecture carved in rock can be found all over the world, even when there is no evidence of contact between these cultures. It is an example of similar solutions to similar problems and circumstances, and Mesoamerica is no exception. This paper focuses on two outstanding examples of monolithic architecture. It is evident that these constructions were preceded by a thorough study of the site, material and soil, and that specialized expertise was involved both in their execution and in planning and designing them. The complex architectural solutions that can be observed at Malinalco and Tetzcotzingo are linked to an ideology and symbolism that appear consistently in Mesoamerican architecture. The research objectives of this study include an examination of the construction solution (from the architectural point of view) as a response not only to the geographical and material limitations of the sites, but also to the symbolic aspect directly related to their use.

Distributed Cloud-Based Software Architectures can sound like a complex idea to understand and an even harder concept to implement. The backend of these architectures can take different forms such as monoliths, micro-services and functions, where the latter types are becoming the most popular. This paper aims to reduce some of this complexity by providing the reader with the 'benefits and pitfalls' of distributed services in the cloud. Cloud computing pioneers, such as Amazon and Google, have made it possible to allow business owners to distribute their services on remote infrastructures. The cloud aims to enhance user experience with its model. There are three key layers including necessary tooling that must be applied to thrive in this environment. The consequences of such technologies allow for the on-demand provisioning of software and hardware. Cloud services are provided to the end-user through smart devices with APIs or through web browsers. Through the research conducted, we've educated ourselves in this field of study. Readers of this paper can gain a deeper impression regarding the nature of distribution in the cloud. Businesses, through the described relative merits, can determine whether to leverage this type of technology. Our recommendations suggest that the solution is with the cloud and that the positives do outweigh the negatives.

This article focuses on understanding and developing the perception of monolithic architecture and its relationship with hylomorphism through autoethnography method as the example of the historical cupola cistern in Turkey as a human scale building type. The article focuses on understanding spaces or spatial components that excite and impel us in our first architectural encounter. Some monolithic forms bring up the concept of hylomorphism, while they contain a spatiality that emphasizes or is reminiscent of the body in human perception. This article focuses on the relationship between monolithic spaces, interpreted as muted architecture, regarding hylomorphism as critically developed by Aristotle and Simondon.
