  • 'Building' Architects and Use of Open-Source Tools Towards Achievement of Millennium Development Goals

    'Building' Architects and Use of Open-Source Tools Towards Achievement of Millennium Development Goals

    'Building' Architects and Use of Open-source Tools Towards Achievement of Millennium Development Goals. Oku, Onyeibo Chidozie Department of Architecture Faculty of Environmental Sciences Enugu State University of Science and Technology Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were established by the United Nations to improve the well-being of humans and their habitat. Whether they are the target beneficiaries or amongst the parties administering services for achieving the MDGs, humans must carry out these activities in a physical environment. Hence, the Seventh Goal of the MDG has an indirect and far-reaching relationship with the others because it deals with the sustainable development of the built environment. Architects deliver consultancy services that span the design, documentation and construction supervision of the built environment. This study sought to determine the extent to which these professionals can do this, with respect to the Seventh Millennium Development Goal, using mainly open-source tools. The study draws from literature reviews, end-user feedback or reports, interviews with developers of applicable open-source products, and statistics from a survey, launched in 2011, for capturing how architects use ICT in their businesses. Analysis of popular open-source technologies for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry show a concentration of resources in favour of the later stages of the Architect's role, rather than the design and contract-drawing stages. Some of the better-implemented tools are either too cryptic for professionals who communicate in graphical terms, or heavily biased towards software engineering practices. The products that promise Building Information Modelling (BIM) capabilities are still at an early developmental stage.

Subscribe for free! Linux vs Windows 7 Posted at 4:16pm on Thursday August 20th 2009 It's something of a tradition that we pit the latest version of Windows against our trusty old operating system. This isn't because we want to raise the profile of Windows, or ignite further flamewars on which is better or worse. It's about understanding the market and understanding the competition. Microsoft Windows is by far the most dominant operating system on the planet, and as Linux users, we need to keep on top of new developments, new technologies and new ideas. This gives Linux the best possible chance to grow and remain relevant. So, if you read our benchmarks comparing Windows 7, Vista and Ubuntu and are looking to find out more on what separates Windows 7 and Linux on the features front, read on... Both operating systems now occupy a distinctly different part of the market. Microsoft has taken Windows down a purely proprietary route, forging relationships with content providers and hardware vendors that keep full control from the user. Linux is completely open. Out of the box, Linux even boasts better media format support than Windows, and it can be the only way to run older hardware at its fullest potential, especially if there isn't a new driver for Windows 7. Forewarned is forarmed Over the life span of Windows 7, public concern for privacy, digital rights management and locked-in upgrades should help Linux to grow as an alternative when users want to keep complete control over their own hardware and software.
