Die geheime Welt der Bauwerke (Ungekürzte Lesung)

Wir arbeiten in ihnen, spazieren über sie und fahren durch sie hindurch: Dass Hochhäuser dem Sturm trotzen, Brücken und Tunnel dem Verkehr und der Schwerkraft standhalten, ist jedoch nicht selbstverständlich, sondern fast ein Wunder – und der Kunst der Ingenieure zu verdanken. Roma Agrawal, die Westeuropas zweithöchsten Wolkenkratzer plante, weiht uns ein in die Geheimnisse der Statik. Auf ihrer Reise durch die Geschichte der Gebäude erzählt Agrawal, wie Materialien Bauweisen revolutionierten...

Design Is The Problem

Nathan Shedroff

Design Is The Problem

Design makes a tremendous impact on the produced world in terms of usability, resources, understanding, and priorities. What we produce, how we serve customers and other stakeholders, and even how we understand how the world works is all affected by the design of models and solutions. Designers have an unprecedented opportunity to use their skills to make meaningful, sustainable change in the world—if they know how to focus their skills, time, and agendas. In Design is the Problem: The...

The Business of Scaleup

Tatterson, Gary Benjamin

The Business of Scaleup

The book, The Business of Scaleup, is made up of three parts. The first is a review of engineering scaleup procedures, similar to those published in Process Scaleup and Design. Additional stories have been added. The second is a research paper that provides an example of a process scaledown. The main conclusions from these two discussions are that: 1) geometric similarity can be a hinderance to an effective and profitable design and 2) simple scaledown studies can provide significant insight...

Transport Revolutions

Modern societies rely upon prodigious amounts of oil for transport activity. The impacts over the near term of increasing oil scarcity and higher prices on transport will be among the major challenges facing humanity and will require a revolution in thinking about how we move people and goods. Transport Revolutions analyzes five prior episodes of rapid and radical change in the way people and goods travel. It examines the worldwide state of transport today, especially its energy use and...

Trans Structures: Fluid Architecture and Liquid Engineering

Architecture is based upon the misconception that strong is stable, both in sense of energy and structure, as an unchanged state of microclimate would require more material or insulation. Trans-structures are the opposite: building elements with the response-ability to change according to external conditions in order to maintain stability in terms of structure and/or energy. In this type of building, any effect (structural or thermal load) would generate an immediate affect (a response of the...

Geographies of Trash

In the Age of Environment, the scale of waste management is geographic all while often relegating such undesired matter to invisibility as «matter out of place.» Geographies of Trash reclaims the role of forms, technologies, economies and logistics of the waste system in the production of new aesthetics and politics of urbanism. Honored with a 2014 ACSA Faculty Design Award, the book charts the geographies of trash in Michigan across scales to propose five speculative projects that bring to...

Renewables

Renewable energy is a fast-expanding field, welcomed by many as part of the answer to climate change and energy security concerns; but can renewables deliver enough energy reliably and economically? Rapid expansion continues in the area of renewable energy, with wind capacity expected to double over the next five years and PV solar perhaps treble in the same period. There have been some dramatic projections of potential expansion longer term, with some studies now suggesting that renewables...

Semiconductors

As we settle into this second decade of the 21st century it is evident that the advances in microelectronics have truly revolutionized our day-to-day lifestyle. The growth of microelectronics itself has been driven, and in turn is calibrated by, the growth in density of transistors on a single integrated circuit, a growth that has come to be known as Moore’s Law. Considering that the first transistor appeared only at the middle of the last century, it is remarkable that billions of transistors...

Why Place Matters

Contemporary American society, with its emphasis on mobility and economic progress, all too often loses sight of the importance of a sense of place” and community. Appreciating place is essential for building the strong local communities that cultivate civic engagement, public leadership, and many of the other goods that contribute to a flourishing human life.Do we, in losing our places, lose the crucial basis for healthy and resilient individual identity, and for the...

Amazing Airmen

Canadian and British airmen engaged in fierce and deadly battles in the skies over Europe during the Second World War. Those who survived often had to overcome incredible obstacles to do so – dodging bullets and German troops, escaping from burning planes and enduring forced marches if they became prisoners. In one story, a tail gunner from Montreal survived despite being unconscious when blown out of his bomber. Another story describes how the crew of a navigator from Ottawa used chewing gum to...

Storms of Controversy

Storms of Controversy

The development of the Avro Arrow was a remarkable Canadian achievement. Its mysterious cancellation in February 1959 prompted questions that have long gone unanswered. What role did the Central Intelligence Agency play in the scrapping of the project? Who in Canada’s government was involved in that decision? What, if anything, did Canada get in return? Who ordered the blowtorching of all the prototypes? And did Arrow technology find its way into the American Stealth fighter/bomber program? ...
