Merendino, "The Method Framework for Engineering System Architectures"
Auerbach Publications | 2008-11-20 | ISBN: 1420085751 | 512 pages | PDF | 3,7 MB

The architects of today’s large and complex systems all too often
struggle with the lack of a consistent set of principles and practices
that adequately address the entire breadth of systems architecture. The
Method Framework for Engineering System Architectures (MFESA) enables
system architects and process engineers to create methods for
effectively and efficiently engineering high-quality architecture for
systems, subsystems, and software components.

Meets the Needs of Specific Projects

The book begins by documenting the common challenges that must be
addressed by system architecture engineering. It explores the major
principles answering these challenges and forming the basis of MFESA.
Next, the authors introduce MFESA, including its primary goals, inputs,
tasks, outputs, and assumptions. Then they describe the fundamental
concepts and terminology on which the systems architecture engineering
is founded. This is followed by a description of each of the ten system
architecture engineering tasks including associated goals and
objectives, preconditions, inputs, steps, postconditions, work
products, guidelines, and pitfalls.

Finally, the book documents the relationship between quality and
architecture, explains the quality model underlying MFESA, and provides
a summary of MFESA method framework, as well as a list of points to
remember and future directions planned for MFESA.

Explains Specific Rationales

Organized as a handy desk reference, this book harnesses more than 100
years of the authors’ combined professional experience to provide
extensive guidelines, best practices, and tips on avoiding possible
pitfalls. It presents a direct rationale of why steps are taken, how
things can go wrong, and guidance for how and when to tailor the model
for a system’s specific context.

Enjoy this great book!

Understanding Sustainable Architecture By Helen Bennetts


Publisher: Taylor & Francis | ISBN: 0415283515 | edition 2002 | PDF | 144 pages | 5 mb

Understanding Sustainable Architecture is a concise review of the
assumptions, beliefs, goals and bodies of knowledge that underlie the
endeavor to design environmentally sustainable buildings and other
built environments. The authors set out a coherent framework within
which they discuss the important ethical, cultural, and conceptual
issues of sustainable architecture. Through a series of self-reflective
questions, the importance of ecological, social, and built contexts is
argued, and problem framing is linked to succesful practice.

"Modern Movement Heritage" By A. Cunningham

Taylor & Francis | 1998-10-19 | ISBN: 0419232303 | 180 pages | PDF | 6 Mb


Twentieth-century architecture evolved as a cultural imperative,
parallel with the Theory of Relativity, Cubism and abstraction in art,
twelve-tone music, and economic and social theory. Modern buildings
used advanced technology which often has succumbed to long term
stresses, and the functional requirements which the buildings orignally
met, have changed substantially. Modern Movement Heritage is an
introduction to the specific challenges associated with the
conservation of modern structures.

The preservation of significant buildings presents demanding
economic and physical issues. The continued life of both icon and
ordinary in an economically driven world depends on a shared
recognition of their cultural and social value and their continuing
economic viability. The essays in this highly illustrated book discuss
the cultural theory of Modern Movement buildings, strategies for
preserving these structures and case studies on the preservation of
international major works of architecture

Constructing place: Mind and the Matter of Place-Making By Dr. Menin


Publisher: Routledge | ISBN: 0415314666 | edition 2003 | PDF | 288 pages | 26,15 mb

This book is a cutting edge study exploring the field of the conception
and the tectonic making of place as it impinges in, and thus changes,
the site in which it is set. It examines the attitudes to both nature
and the built environment of the designer, the client and the society
in which an intervention (be it architecture, landscape design or a
piece of art) is made. The legacy of the Modernist view of nature and
the environment is also addressed, and the degree to which such ideas
continue to impinge on contemporary interventions is assessed. These
topics are addressed through the methodologies of history, theory,
philosophy and psychology.
The book forges new collaborative ideas in an interdisciplinary way,
including essays on architecture, planning, landscape and philosophy
(particularly applied aesthetics). Written for and by both those in
practice and academia across this range of fields, it is also useful
for those interested in psychology and creativity, and those who are
keen on issuesabout the value of engagement with the environment.

Designing the Future. Jacque Fresco. (With pictures)
PDF | 5 Mb | English | 79 Pages


Are you prepared to design the future? Although many of us feel we can
prepare for our future by thinking, acting, and learning using present
methods and values, nothing is farther from the truth – especially in
today’s apidly changing world. A newborn child enters a world not of
his or her own making. Each succeeding generation inherits the values,
accomplishments, hopes, successes, and failings of previous
generations. And they inherit the results of the decisions made by
those generations.

Philip Ball - Universe of Stone: A Biography of Chartres Cathedral


Harper | 2008 | ISBN: 0061154296 | Pages: 336 | PDF | 6.21 MB

Chartres Cathedral, south of Paris, is revered as one of the most
beautiful and profound works of art in the Western canon. But what did
it mean to those who constructed it in the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries? And why, during this time, did Europeans begin to build
churches in a new style, at such immense height and with such glorious
play of light, in the soaring manner we now call Gothic?

Universe of Stone shows that the Gothic cathedrals encode a
far-reaching shift in the way medieval thinkers perceived their
relationship with their world. For the first time, they began to
believe in an orderly, rational world that could be investigated and
understood. This change marked the beginning of Western science and
also the start of a long and, indeed, unfinished struggle to reconcile
faith and reason.

By embedding the cathedral in the culture of the twelfth century—its
schools of philosophy and science, its trades and technologies, its
politics and religious debates—Philip Ball makes sense of the visual
and emotional power of Chartres. Beautifully illustrated and written,
filled with astonishing insight, Universe of Stone argues that Chartres
is a sublime expression of the originality and vitality of a true
"first renaissance," one that occurred long before the birth of
Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, or Francis Bacon.

The Humane Metropolis: People And Nature in the Twenty-first Century City


Publisher: University of Massachusetts Press | ISBN: 1558495541 |
edition 2006 | PDF | 326 pages | 6,04 mb

Four-fifths of Americans now live in the nation’s sprawling
metropolitan areas, and half of the world’s population is now
classified as "urban." As cities become the dominant living environment
for humans, there is growing concern about how to make such places more
habitable, more healthy and safe, more ecological, and more
equitable—in short, more "humane." This book explores the prospects for
a more humane metropolis through a series of essays and case studies
that consider why and how urban places can be made greener and more
amenable. Its point of departure is the legacy of William H. Whyte
(1917-1999), one of America’s most admired urban thinkers. From his
eyrie high above Manhattan in the offices of the Rockefeller Brothers
Fund, Whyte laid the foundation for today’s "smart growth" and "new
urbanist" movements with books such as The Last Landscape (1968). His
passion for improving the habitability of cities and suburbs is
reflected in the diverse grassroots urban design and regreening
strategies discussed in this volume. Topics examined in this book
include urban and regional greenspaces, urban ecological restoration,
social equity, and green design. Some of the contributors are
recognized academic experts, while others offer direct practical
knowledge of particular problems and initiatives. The editor’s
introduction and epilogue set the individual chapters in a broader
context and suggest how the strategies described, if widely replicated,
may help create more humane urban environments. In addition to
Rutherford H. Platt, contributors to the volume include Carl Anthony,
Thomas Balsley, Timothy Beatley, Eugenie L. Birch, Edward J. Blakely,
Colin M. Cathcart, Steven E. Clemants, Christopher A. De Sousa, Steven
N. Handel, Peter Harnik, Michael C. Houck, Jerold S. Kayden, Albert
LaFarge, Andrew Light, Charles E. Little, Anne C. Lusk, Thalya Parilla,
Deborah E. Popper, Frank J. Popper, Mary V. Rickel, Cynthia Rosenzweig,
Robert L. Ryan, Laurin N. Sievert, Andrew G. Wiley-Schwartz, and Ann
Louise Strong. Published in association with the Lincoln Institute of
Land Policy.

Urban Avant-Gardes and Social Transformation: Art, Architecture and Change


Publisher: Routledge | ISBN: 0415266882 | edition 2004 | PDF | 304 pages | 8,4 mb

Can art or architecture change the world? Is it possible, despite
successive failures, to think of a new cultural avant-garde today? What
would this mean? Urban Avant-Gardes and Social Transformation attempts
to contribute to debate on these questions, by looking back to past
avant-gardes from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, by examining
the theoretical and critical terrain around avant-garde cultural
interventions, and by profiling a range of contemporary cases of
radical cultural practices. Urban Avant-Gardes and Social
Transformation brings together material from a wide range of
disciplines to argue for cultural intervention as a means to radical
change, while recognizing that most such efforts in the past have not
delivered the dreams of their perpetrators.

With the increasing cost of new-build, effective maintenance of
existing building stock is becoming ever more important and building
maintenance work now represents nearly half of total construction
output in the UK.



Building Maintenance Management provides a comprehensive profile
of the many aspects of property maintenance. This second edition has
been updated throughout, with sections on outsourcing; maintenance
planning; benchmarking and KPIs; and current trends in procurement
routes (including partnering and the growth of PFI) integrated into the
text. There is also a new chapter on the changing context within which
maintenance is carried out, largely concerned with its relationship to
facilities management. More coverage is given of maintenance
organisations and there are major updates to relevant aspects of health
and safety and to contract forms

The Art of Precast Concrete: Colour, Texture, Expression
Birkhäuser Basel; 1 edition (August 26, 2005) | 2007-10-30 | ISBN: 3764371501 | 160 pages | PDF | 22 Mb


As a building material, precast concrete allows a wide range of
sculptural forms and design options. By treating the surface in various
ways, fascinating textures and fine finishes can be produced. This book
provides a systematic overview of the variety of applications for such
concrete elements throughout Europe. Author David Bennett provides
in-depth information on newly developed, especially lightweight forms
of concrete such as GRC (Glass-Fibre Reinforced Concrete), Ductal and
CRC (Compact Reinforced Composite). A selection of some 24 projects
which are of particular significance, are documented in detail and
provide a wealth of inspiring design ideas. The appendix comprises an
overview of the building practices in the individual European countries
and the availability of concrete elements. Amongst the buildings
documented are the Scottish Parliament Building in Edinburgh by Enric
Miralles Benedetta Tagliabue, the Synagogue in Dresden by Wandel,
Hoefer, Lorch + Hirsch, and the Mexican Embassy in Berlin by González
de León.
