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!

Expansive Discourses: Urban Sprawl in Calgary, 1945-1978
Publisher: UBC Press | ISBN: 1897425139 | edition 2009 | PDF | 276 pages | 6 mb

A groundbreaking study of urban sprawl in Calgary, "Expansive
Discourses" looks at the city's development after the Second World War.
The interactions of land developers and the local government influenced
how the pattern grew: developers met market demands and optimized
profits by building houses as efficiently as possible, while the city
had to consider wider planning constraints and infrastructure costs.In
"Expansive Discourses", Foran examines the complexity of their debates
from a historical perspective, why each party acted as it did, and
where each can be criticized.

Neil Leach, "Rethinking Architecture: Reader in Cultural Theory"
Publisher: Routledge | 1997-03-28 | ISBN 0415128250 | PDF | 409 pages | 2.2 MB


Rethinking Architecture offers a refreshing take on the statement of
architecture -- what we mean by what we build. Brought together for the
first time, this collection of core writings on architecture by many of
the key philosophers and cultural theorists of the twentieth century
reconsiders many of the accepted tenets of architectural theory from a
broader cultural perspective. Rethinking Architecture represents a
careful selection of the very best theoretical writings on the ideas
which have shaped our cities and our experiences around architecture.
Neil Leach lays out five sections composing the predominant schools of
twentieth century thought. Sectional introductions link important ideas
and themes, and surveys of the lives and works of each theorist preface
their writings.

Nic Fields "The Walls of Rome (Fortress)"
Osprey Publishing | 2008-03-18 | ISBN: 1846031982 | 64 pages | PDF | 26,3 MB


Having defeated a Germanic invasion of northern Italy, the Emperor
Aurelian surrounded Rome with a powerful circuit of walls. This great
fortification is one of the best preserved of all city walls in the
Roman Empire and remains a dramatic feature of Rome today, representing
the most emblematic and the most enduring monument of Aurelian's age.
Nothing else so eloquently demonstrates that, by Aurelian's day, the
empire was on the defensive. Although embellished, strengthened and
restored many times down the ages, Aurelian's original structure
remained the basis of the city's defences through to the mid-19th
century, when the Republican forces under Giuseppe Garibaldi managed
for some time to withstand the French, and is still discernible today
along much of the walls' circuit.

This title describes Aurelian's Wall in detail with cut-away cross
sections, and investigates its historical purpose and military
effectiveness within the general context of late Roman fortifications.
A final section follows the history of the Wall's continued use beyond
the Romano-Byzantine period, and provides an invaluable tourist aid.

Charles K. Erdey, "Earthquake Engineering: Application to Design"
Wiley | 2007 | ISBN: 0470048433 | PDF | 448 pages | 4,9 MB

Learn to design code-compliant, earthquake-resistant structures with this practical guide
Earthquake Engineering demonstrates how to design structural members
and joints for seismic resistance. The text guides readers through
dozens of structural designs, documenting how to perform each step,
make the necessary calculations, and adhere to relevant design codes.
Most other texts on seismic design focus on theory and the construction
of idealized structures; this text is a radical departure, presenting
actual tested design methodologies that protect structures from the
devastation of earthquakes.
All the design methods presented by the author comply with the current
U.S. building codes. References to these codes are provided throughout
the text, helping readers understand how they are integrated into an
overall structural design.
Everything readers need to create sound designs, from analysis to
design implementation, is provided, including:
* Dozens of worked problems throughout the text
* Complete reference chapters dedicated to matrices, differential equations, and numerical analysis
* Latest results of ongoing seismic research, including how these
studies are likely to influence future design projects
* The latest 2006 IBC, highlighting significant variations from the 2000 and 2003 editions of the code
* Detailed coverage of seismic design for steel moment-resisting frame
structures (SMRF), as well as braced-frame steel, concrete, masonry,
and wood-framed structures
This text, with its many worked problems, is ideal for upper-level
undergraduates and graduate students. Now that the seismic engineering
provisions of the IBC Code apply to the entire United States, this text
should also guide practicing engineers not yet exposed to seismic
design in designing code-compliant, earthquake-resistant structures.

Sharon Doherty, "Heathrow's Terminal 5: History in the Making"
Wiley | 2008 | ISBN: 0470754354 | 372 pages | PDF | 51,6 MB

This book reveals the inside track on the making of Terminal 5: the
courage, the ground-breaking management thinking and the many lessons
learnt from the leaders, the client and integrated supply chain teams,
- involving over 50,000 people from 20,000 companies - which led to the
successful delivery of this mega project on time, on budget, and
safely.
Love or hate Heathrow we can’t ignore it! An economic power house for
the UK, 155,000 earn their living from it and 68 million of us pass
through it each year. Two decades of the planning, design, construction
and opening of Terminal 5 has resulted in a gateway that Heathrow can
be proud of.

Faced with the risk of opening a year late, being a billion overspent,
since Sir John Egan in the early 1990s, BAA, stakeholders and supplier
partners have been grappling with Terminal 5`s challenges. The result?
£4.3 billion of design and construction delivered on time, to budget
and safely is to be commended given the industry statistics but the
acid test will now be the quality of the 30 million passengers
experience and the operating costs that have been left to stand the
test of time.
Sharon Doherty is HR and organisational effectiveness director for
Heathrow airport and Terminal 5. Sharon has previously worked in
consultancy, financial services and retail. Her specialism is people
and change. 2002 to the end 2007 she was accountable for the approach
to people management and organisational change on Terminal 5.

Akademische Druck, Collections of codices-Codex. 14 Codices
Akademische Druck Publishing | ISBN: Rare books | Compilation 1961-2004 | Gonvisor | 786 pages | 128 Mb


Codex Atlanticus,Codex Becker I - II,Codex Borbonicus,Codex
Borgia,Codex Cospi,Codex Dresden,Codex Egerton 2895,Codex
Fejevary-Mayer,Codex Grolier,Codex Ixtlilxochitl,Codex Laud,Codex
Madrid,Codex Magliabechiano,Codex Paris.


WHAT IS A CODEX?




Just as with modern books, paper was the most common material out of
which codices were made. The Maya made paper from the inner bark of fig
trees (Ficus), called kop? in Maya and today commonly known as amate
paper. Although they also used deer skin, cotton cloth and maguey
paper, apparently the Maya preferred kop?.




The paper measured several meters long and, as in the case of the three
known Maya codices, measured about 20 centimeters wide. The large
codices were folded like screens, covered with layer of starch, and
then with a thin, white, calcium carbonate paste.




Each page was separated by a thick, red frame and then horizontal and
vertical lines were painted to further separate texts. The remaining
page was divided into several squares, inside of each was an ideogram,
which had some relation to those in other boxes. Glyphs relating to
each other were drawn in the sections. Subjects varied from religion,
astronomy, agricultural cycles and history to prophecies. One or more
themes occupied each page and in all cases, the contents related to the
spiritual world.

W. Poelman "What Architects & Industrial Designers Can Teach Each Other About Managing the Design Process"
IOS Press | 2008-12-15 | ISBN: 1586039458 | 128 pages | PDF | 3 MB


Nowadays, the script of life is for a large part written by architects
and designers. Urban planning decides how we spread our activities
geographical. The design of modern residential districts determines for
a large part how we communicate with each other. The design of shopping
centers determines how we acquire our food. Designers for means of
transport decide how we move ourselves and kitchen designers decide how
we cook. All this has to do with the mechanisms of technology diffusion
which will be elaborated on in this publication. The main issues
discussed are the contemporary inter-relationship of industrial design
and architecture and a confrontation of contemporary design practice in
both domains with academic theory and education. The cases used for
this publication provide several examples of the various characters of
design processes. The subjects of the cases discussed in Design
Processes are design processes in general, visualization as a design
tool, project management, social complexity collaboration, decision
making and technology diffusion.

Stephen R. Kellert "Building for Life: Designing and Understanding the Human-Nature Connection"
Island Press | 2005-09-13 | ISBN: 1559637218 | 264 pages | PDF | 6,3 MB


Sustainable design has made great strides in recent years;
unfortunately, it still falls short of fully integrating nature into
our built environment. Through a groundbreaking new paradigm of
"restorative environmental design," award-winning author Stephen R.
Kellert proposes a new architectural model of sustainability.

In Building For Life, Kellert examines the fundamental
interconnectedness of people and nature, and how the loss of this
connection results in a diminished quality of life.

This thoughtful new work illustrates how architects and designers can
use simple methods to address our innate needs for contact with nature.
Through the use of natural lighting, ventilation, and materials, as
well as more unexpected methodologies-the use of metaphor, perspective,
enticement, and symbol-architects can greatly enhance our daily lives.
These design techniques foster intellectual development, relaxation,
and physical and emotional well-being. In the works of architects like
Frank Lloyd Wright, Eero Saarinen, Cesar Pelli, Norman Foster, and
Michael Hopkins, Kellert sees the success of these strategies and
presents models for moving forward. Ultimately, Kellert views our
fractured relationship with nature as a design problem rather than an
unavoidable aspect of modern life, and he proposes many practical and
creative solutions for cultivating a more rewarding experience of
nature in our built environment.

Building on Knowledge: Developing Expertise, Creativity and Intellectual Capital in the Construction Professions
Wiley | October 2008 | English | ISBN: 1405147091 | 320 pages | PDF | 5 MB

This guide shows design practices and other construction professionals
how to manage knowledge successfully. It explains how to develop and
implement a knowledge management strategy, and how to avoid the
pitfalls, focusing on the techniques of learning and knowledge sharing
that are most relevant in professional practice.

Expensive IT-based ‘solutions’ bought off-the-shelf rarely succeed in a
practice context, so the emphasis here is on people-centred techniques,
which recognise and meet real business knowledge needs and fit in with
the organisational culture.

Knowledge is supplanting physical assets as the dominant basis of
capital value and an understanding of how knowledge is acquired, shared
and used is increasingly crucial in organisational success. Most
business leaders recognise this, but few have yet succeeded in making
it the pervasive influence on management practice that it needs to
become; that has turned out to be harder than it looks.

Construction professionals are among those who have furthest to go, and
most to gain. Design is a knowledge-based activity, and project
managers, contractors and clients, as well as architects and engineers,
have always learned from experience and shared their knowledge with
immediate colleagues. But the intuitive processes they have
traditionally used break down alarmingly quickly as organisations grow;
even simply dividing the office over two floors can noticeably reduce
communication. At the same time, increasingly sophisticated
construction technology and more demanding markets are making effective
management of knowledge ever more important. Other knowledge-intensive
industries (such as management consultancy, pharmaceuticals, and IT),
are well ahead in adopting a more systematic approach to learning and
sharing knowledge, and seeing the benefits in improved technical
capacity, efficiency, customer satisfaction and reduced risk.

Cities Of God: The Religion Of The Italian Communes 1125-1325 By Augustine Thompson
Publisher: Pennsylvania State University Press | ISBN: 0271024771 |
edition 2005 | PDF | 502 pages | 2,5 mb

We know much about the Italian city states--the "communes"--of the
twelfth and thirteenth centuries. But historians have focused on their
political accomplishments to the exclusion of their religious life,
going so far as to call them "purely secular contrivances." When
religion is considered, the subjects are usually saints, heretics,
theologians, and religious leaders, thereby ignoring the vast majority
of those who lived in the communes. In Cities of God, Augustine
Thompson gives a voice to the forgotten majority--orthodox lay people
and those who ministered to them.
Thompson positions the Italian republics in sacred space and time. He
maps their religious geography as it was expressed through political
and voluntary associations, ecclesiastical and civil structures, common
ritual life, lay saints, and miracle-working shrines. He takes the
reader through the rituals and celebrations of the communal year, the
people's corporate and private experience of God, and the "liturgy" of
death and remembrance. In the process he challenges a host of
stereotypes about "orthodox" medieval religion, the Italian
city-states, and the role of new religious movements in the world of
Francis of Assisi, Thomas Aquinas, and Dante.

Architecture Depends By Jeremy Till
Publisher: The MIT Press 2009-03-31 | 232 Pages | ISBN: 0262012537 | PDF | 1.2 MB

Architecture depends—on what? On people, time, politics, ethics, mess:
the real world. Architecture, Jeremy Till argues with conviction in
this engaging, sometimes pugnacious book, cannot help itself; it is
dependent for its very existence on things outside itself. Despite the
claims of autonomy, purity, and control that architects like to make
about their practice, architecture is buffeted by uncertainty and
contingency. Circumstances invariably intervene to upset the
architect's best-laid plans—at every stage in the process, from design
through construction to occupancy. Architects, however, tend to deny
this, fearing contingency and preferring to pursue perfection. With
Architecture Depends, architect and critic Jeremy Till offers a
proposal for rescuing architects from themselves: a way to bridge the
gap between what architecture actually is and what architects want it
to be. Mixing anecdote, design, social theory, and personal experience,
Till's writing is always accessible, moving freely between high and low
registers, much like his suggestions for architecture itself.

The everyday world is a disordered mess, from which architecture has
retreated—and this retreat, says Till, is deluded. Architecture must
engage with the inescapable reality of the world; in that engagement is
the potential for a reformulation of architectural practice.
Contingency should be understood as an opportunity rather than a
threat. Elvis Costello said that his songs have to work when played
through the cheapest transistor radio; for Till, architecture has to
work (socially, spatially) by coping with the flux and vagaries of
everyday life. Architecture, he proposes, must move from a reliance on
the impulsive imagination of the lone genius to a confidence in the
collaborative ethical imagination, from clinging to notions of total
control to an intentional acceptance of letting go.

Jennifer Roberts, "Good Green Homes"

Gibbs Smith | 2003 | ISBN: 1586851799 | 160 pages | PDF | 25,5 MB


Green. It conjures images of a meadow in spring for some, and the
color of money for others. What does "green" have to do with our homes?
In essence, green building-or sustainable building-means being smart
about how we use energy, water, and building materials so that we can
live well without needlessly damaging the environment. Creating a good
green home isn't just about conservation, about using less or saving
more-although that's certainly part of it. It's about creating better
homes that are easier on the environment, less expensive over the long
term, and more delightful to come home to. That's the message Jennifer
Roberts wants to share in Good Green Homes, the ultimate new guide for
people who want to live in comfortable, healthy, environmentally
conscious homes.


With some simple steps outlined in this book, you can save money,
and do your part to help save the environment. For instance, using an
energy-efficient light bulb saves you money. It also results in less
demand for electricity, which in turn results in less pollution from
power plants, which may help a child with asthma breathe a little
easier.


If you associate green-built housing with the unconventional or
the quirky-tree houses, geodesic domes, dwellings constructed of tires
or soda bottles-think again. Perfect for homeowners, remodelers,
renters (who might be surprised by how much is within their power to
change), architects, builders, and interior designers, this book lays
out seven fundamental principles of green building, illustrated with
more than 150 color and 20 black and white photographs of more than
twenty-five homes.


Jennifer Roberts launched two retail stores in San Francisco
specializing in environmentally sensible consumer products, including
household goods; and is a freelance writer and editor on topics that
include energy-efficient building design and systems.
