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!

Delft Science in Design 2 - Volume 3 Research in Design Series By M. Eekhout, T. Tomiyama
Publisher: IOS Press 2008-10-15 | 288 Pages | ISBN: 1586037390 | PDF | 7.2 MB

The mission of the publication Delft Science in Design 2 is to promote
and advance the exchange of lessons learned on design between
university and industry. Also, it aims to amplify the visibility of the
results of academic effort in design at Delft University. The questions
'What is design?'', 'What is engineering?', 'What is science?' can be
fiercely debated. Between the extremes of artistic design and pure
science, the transitions are like in fluid: they are smooth and
gradual. An approach focusing on how the university deals with
knowledge may provide a better entry to the debate. The mutual
understanding between scientists from different disciplines may get
lost. It is one of the two major objectives of the Delft Science in
Design congress to offer a kaleidoscope of the activities of the
various faculties to all university colleagues and students, so that
staff and students can be made aware of activities in other
laboratories, and have the opportunity to be informed on details. Being
informed is the first step to understanding.

Broken Buildings, Busted Budgets: How to Fix America's Trillion-Dollar Construction Industry By Barry B. LePatner


Publisher: University Of Chicago Press 2007 | ISBN: 0226472671 | PDF | 1.7 MB

Across the nation, construction projects large and small—from hospitals
to schools to simple home improvements—are spiraling out of control.
Delays and cost overruns have come to seem “normal,” even as they drain
our wallets and send our blood pressure skyrocketing. In Broken
Buildings, Busted Budgets, prominent construction attorney Barry B.
LePatner builds a powerful case for change in America’s sole remaining
“mom and pop” industry—an industry that consumes $1.23 trillion and
wastes at least $120 billion each year.
With three decades of experience representing clients that include
eminent architects and engineers, as well as corporations,
institutions, and developers, LePatner has firsthand knowledge of the
bad management, ineffective supervision, and insufficient investment in
technology that plagues the risk-averse construction industry. In an
engaging and direct style, he here pinpoints the issues that underlie
the industry’s woes while providing practical tips for anyone in the
business of building, including advice on the precise language owners
should use during contract negotiations.
Armed with Broken Buildings, Busted Budgets, everyone involved in the
purchase or renovation of a building or any structure—from homeowners
seeking to remodel to civic developers embarking on large-scale
projects—has the information they need to change this antiquated
industry, one project at a time.

“LePatner describes what is wrong with the current system and suggests
ways that architects can help—by retaking their rightful place as
master builders.”—Fred A. Bernstein, Architect Magazine “Every now and
then, a major construction project is completed on time and on budget.
Everyone is amazed. . . . Barry LePatner thinks this exception should
become the rule. . . . A swift kick to the construction
industry.”—James R. Hagerty, Wall Street Journal
(20070301)

G. W. F. Hegel, "Aesthetics: Lectures on Fine Art Volume II "


Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA | 1998-12-17 | ISBN 0198238177 | PDF | 696 pages | 35.5 MB


This is the second of two volumes of the only English edition of
Hegel's Aesthetics, the work in which he gives full expression to his
seminal theory of art. The substantial Introduction is his best
exposition of his general philosophy of art. In Part I he considers the
general nature of art as a spiritual experience, distinguishes the
beauty of art and the beauty of nature, and examines artistic genius
and originality. Part II surveys the history of art from the ancient
world through to the end of the eighteenth century, probing the meaning
and significance of major works. Part III (in the second volume) deals
individually with architecture, sculpture, painting, music, and
literature; a rich array of examples makes vivid his exposition of his
theory.

Fleischmann/Wolfgang Strauss, Sulan Kolatan/William Mac Donald, William
J. Mitchell, Kas Oosterhuis, Hani Rashid, Jeffrey Shaw, Peter Weibel,
Peter Zoller, "Disappearing Architecture: From Real to Virtual to
Quantum"



Birkhauser Basel | 2005-09-09 | ISBN: 3764372753 | 272 pages | PDF | 28,3 MB


Architecture has always been a multi-layered discipline playing a
catalytic role within society: architecture as representation. Recent
developments in nextgeneration computing of the beyond-the-desktop-era
(autonomic, grid, ubiquitous and quantum computing) are, however, set
to challenge this role. In order to stay in synch with these
developments, architecture must significantly change: architecture as
an enabling platform that does not prescribe any particular kinds of
spatial experiences, but enables them all. In this volume, based on the
principle of shared research interests with internationally renowned
scientific institutions, research labs and architectural studios, the
editors propose a new kind of architecture - heterarchitecture -,
conceived as a quantum object in which real space (1, OFF-line) and
virtual space (0, ONline) are literally superimposed, thus obeying the
rules of quantum mechanics (1 and 0, OFF and ON at once) rather than
classical physics. It is an architecture against architecture - at
least of the traditional kind, which recognizes only either-or; either
1 or 0, either inside or outside, either enclosing or excluding. It is
an invisible architecture that makes numerous parallel virtual worlds
visible. It is an upside-down architecture: architecture as a pure
infrastructure. Welcome to the Multiverse!



Enjoy this great book!

The
Architecture of the Jumping Universe: A Polemic : How Complexity
Science Is Changing Architecture and Culture (Academy Editions) By
Charles Jencks


Publisher: Academic Press 1997 | 192 Pages | ISBN: 0471977489 | PDF | 6.3 MB

Charles Jencks has the uncanny capacity to announce a new movement in
architecture before it has begun. With Post-Modernism, he was looking
to the past. Now, for the first time, with his new book on
morphogenesis he is taking a look at the future. There is no question
that his argument will have an important critical effect on
architecture at the beginning of the new millennium. Peter Eisenman.
Architect A new paradigm is sweeping through science, changing both our
view of the universe and of mankind. Charles Jencks is one of a handful
of thinkers with the courage to embrace the emerging paradigm and
interpret it architecturally. This inspired synthesis of art, design,
science and philosophy charts a bold new course not only for
architecture, but for Post-Modern thought. Paul Davies, Professor of
Natural Philosophy, University of Adelaide, author of The Cosmic
Blueprint, Superforce, The Mind of God and other books on contemporary
science. Who else could have written a book that opens up such cosmic
perspectives and still make such neat, sharply focused comments on
particular architects and particular styles of architecture? Who else
could range with such zest, ease and elegance from Chaos to Bruce Goff,
from Coleridge to Frank Gehry, from Complexity Theory to Green
Buildings? The old question of in which style should we build can never
be addressed in the same way again. Charles Jencks has brought purpose
back into architecture. His teleology may transcend what architects are
used to, but Jencks manages to make far more sense out of our
contemporary architectural dilemmas than practically all the other
books in the RIBA book shop. Francis Duffy, Chairman of DEGW
International Ltd

E.B. Banning , The Archeologist`s Laboratory:The Analysis of Archaeological Data

Kluwer Academic Publishing | ISBN: 0306476541 | 2002 | PDF | 337 pages | 7.6 Mb

This text reviews the theory, concepts, and basic methods involved in
archaeological analysis. Its aim is to familiarize both students and
professionals with the principles that underlie many kinds of
archaeological analysis, to encourage sound laboratory practice, and to
demonstrate some of the common theoretical issues that different kinds
of analyses all share. Banning opens with a discussion of the nature
and presentation of -and the errors in- data and briefly reviews
archaeological systematics, database and research design, sampling and
quantification, modeling data, and basic artifact handling and
conservation. Chapters on lithics, pottery, faunal, botanical, and soil
remains follow and chapters on seriation, interpreting dates, and
archaeological illustration close out the book. Intended as a text for
students in upper-division undergraduate and graduate-level courses as
well as a manual for professional researchers and cultural resource
management practitioners, the book is abundantly illustrated and
referenced and includes a glossary of key terms. Suggested laboratory
exercises to accompany the text are available on a web site.

Renaissance Paris: Architecture and Growth, 1475-1600
University of California Press | 1984-01 | ISBN: 0520053478 | 214 pages | PDF | 13 MB

In the modern literature on Renaissance art and architecture, Paris has
often been considered the Cinderella of the European capitals. The
prestigious buildings that were erected soon after François I decided
in 1528 to make Paris his residence have long since been lost. Thomson,
however, restores this fascinating chapter of architectural history in
his careful synthesis of documentary and technical sources.

German Architecture for a Mass Audience
Routledge | 1998-10-08 | ISBN: 0415236541 | 208 pages | PDF | 2 MB

This book vividly illustrates the ways in which buildings designed by
many of Germany's most celebrated twentieth-century architects, were
embedded in widely held beliefs about the power of architecture to
influence society. German Architecture for a Mass Audience also
demonstrates the way in which these modernists ideas have been
challenged and transformed, most recently in the rebuilding of central
Berlin.

I AM A MONUMENT: On Learning from Las Vegas
The MIT Press | 2008-09-30 | ISBN: 0262220822 | 208 pages | PDF | 6 MB

Learning from Las Vegas, originally published by the MIT Press in 1972,
was one of the most influential and controversial architectural books
of its era. Thirty-five years later, it remains a perennial bestseller
and a definitive theoretical text. Its authors—architects Robert
Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour—famously used the Las
Vegas Strip to argue the virtues of the "ordinary and ugly" above the
"heroic and original" qualities of architectural modernism. Learning
from Las Vegas not only moved architecture to the center of cultural
debates, it changed our ideas about what architecture was and could be.

In this provocative rereading of an iconic text, Aron Vinegar argues
that Learning from Las Vegas is not only of historical interest but of
absolute relevance to current critical debates in architectural and
visual culture. Vinegar argues that to read Learning from Las Vegas
only as an exemplary postmodernist text—to understand it, for example,
as a call for pastiche or as ironic provocation—is to underestimate its
deeper critical and ethical meaning, and to miss the underlying
dialectic between skepticism and the ordinary, expression and the
deadpan, that runs through the text.

Vinegar's close attention to the graphic design of Learning from Las
Vegas, and his fresh interpretations of now canonical images from the
book such as the Duck, the Decorated Shed, and the "recommendation for
a monument," make his book unique. Perhaps most revealing is his close
analysis of the differences between the first 1972 edition, designed
for the MIT Press by Muriel Cooper, and the "revised" edition of 1977,
which was radically stripped down and largely redesigned by Denise
Scott Brown. The dialogue between the two editions continues with this
book, where for the first time the two versions of Learning from Las
Vegas are read comparatively.

The Archaeology of Town Creek (Dan Josselyn Memorial Publication)
University Alabama Press | 2007-11-04 | ISBN: 081731587X | 184 pages | PDF | 1 MB

The sequence of change for public architecture during the Mississippian
period may reflect a centralization of political power through time. In
the research presented here, some of the community-level assumptions
attributed to the appearance of Mississippian mounds are tested against
the archaeological record of the Town Creek site—the remains of a town
located on the northeastern edge of the Mississippian culture area. In
particular, the archaeological record of Town Creek is used to test the
idea that the appearance of Mississippian platform mounds was
accompanied by the centralization of political authority in the hands
of a powerful chief.

A compelling argument has been made that mounds were the seats and
symbols of political power within Mississippian societies. While
platform mounds have been a part of Southeastern Native American
communities since at least 100 B.C., around A.D. 400 leaders in some
communities began to place their houses on top of earthen mounds—an act
that has been interpreted as an attempt to legitimize personal
authority by a community leader through the appropriation of a
powerful, traditional, community-oriented symbol. Platform mounds at a
number of sites were preceded by a distinctive type of building called
an earthlodge—a structure with earth-embanked walls and an entrance
indicated by short, parallel wall trenches. Earthlodges in the
Southeast have been interpreted as places where a council of community
leaders came together to make decisions based on consensus. In contrast
to the more inclusive function proposed for premound earthlodges, it
has been argued that access to the buildings on top of Mississippian
platform mounds was limited to a much smaller subset of the community.
If this was the case and if ground-level earthlodges were more
accessible than mound-summit structures, then access to leaders and
leadership may have decreased through time.

Concrete and Clay: Reworking Nature in New York City (Urban and Industrial Environments)
The MIT Press | 2002-04-01 | ISBN: 0262072246 | 358 pages | PDF | 15 MB

In this innovative account of the urbanization of nature in New York
City, Matthew Gandy explores how the raw materials of nature have been
reworked to produce a "metropolitan nature" distinct from the forms of
nature experienced by early settlers. The book traces five broad
developments: the expansion and redefinition of public space, the
construction of landscaped highways, the creation of a modern water
supply system, the radical environmental politics of the barrio in the
late 1960s and early 1970s, and the contemporary politics of the
environmental justice movement. Drawing on political economy,
environmental studies, social theory, cultural theory, and
architecture, Gandy shows how New York’s environmental history is bound
up not only with the upstate landscapes that stretch beyond the city’s
political boundaries but also with more distant places that reflect the
nation’s colonial and imperial legacies. Using the shifting meaning of
nature under urbanization as a framework, he looks at how modern nature
has been produced through interrelated transformations ranging from new
water technologies to changing fashions in landscape design.
Throughout, he considers the economic and ideological forces that
underlie phenomena as diverse as the location of parks and the social
stigma of dirty neighborhoods.

Critical Excitation Methods in Earthquake Engineering By Izuru Takewaki


Publisher: Elsevier Science 2007-02-15 | 296 Pages | ISBN: 0080453090 | PDF | 9.8 MB

Since the occurrence of earthquakes and their properties are very
uncertain even with the present knowledge, it is too difficult to
define reasonable design ground motions especially for important
buildings. In the seismic resistant design of building structures, the
concept of 'performance-based design' has become a new paradigm
guaranteeing the maximum satisfaction of building owners. The quality
and reliability of the performance-based design certainly depend on the
scientific rationality of design ground motions. In order to overcome
this problem, a new paradigm has to be posed. To the author's
knowledge, the concept of 'critical excitation' and the structural
design based upon this concept can become one of such new paradigms.
This book introduces a new probabilistic and energy-based critical
excitation approach to overcome several problems in the scientific and
rational modelling of ground motions. The author hopes that this book
will help the development of new seismic-resistant design methods of
buildings for such unpredicted or unpredictable ground motions.

- First comprehensive book for critical excitation methods
- Including updated, cutting-edge research
- Applicable to other worst-case analysis problems
- Including comprehensive review of critical excitation methods
- Including verification by comprehensive recorded ground motions

Construction Technology: An Illustrated Introduction By Eric Fleming


Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell | ISBN: 1405102101 | edition 2005 | PDF | 400 pages | 7,69 mb

This new textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to every aspect
of the technology of low-rise construction. It includes sub-structure
(site work, setting out and foundations) and superstructure (flooring,
roofs, finishes, fittings and fixtures). The material here covers the
first year course requirement of all courses on which construction
technology is taught - no matter what the ultimate qualification.
It offers tried and tested solutions to a range of construction
problems and is organised following the sequence of construction. It
will show what has been done in the past, demonstrating good practice -
what works and what doesn't - and common faults. There are summaries of
the more important BSI documents and reference to the latest building
regulations.
Lengthy explanations are avoided by relying heavily on hundreds of
illustrations, pairing detail drawings with clear photographs to show
real life construction situations.
