The BP leased oil platform exploded April 20 and sank after burning, leaking an estimate of more than 200,000 gallons of crude oil per day from the broken pipeline into the sea. © Daniel Beltrá / Greenpeace Right: A penguin lies in oil spilt from the wreck of the Rena © GEMZ Photography 2 l Greenpeace Deep-Sea Oil Briefing l May 2012 The inability of the authorities to cope with the effects of the recent oil spill from the Rena cargo ship, despite the best efforts of Maritime New Zealand, has brought into sharp focus the environmental risks involved in the Government’s decision to open up vast swathes of the country’s coastal waters for deep-sea oil drilling. The Rena accident highlighted the devastation that can be caused by what in global terms is actually still a relatively small oil spill at 350 tonnes and shows the difficulties of mounting a clean-up operation even when the source of the leaking oil is so close to shore. It raised the spectre of the environmental catastrophe that could occur if an accident on the scale of the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico were to occur in New Zealand’s remote waters. -

The Monument the Monument
The Monument The Monument Jean-Yves ANDRIEUX Alexandre GADY ABSTRACT The production of monumental architecture is an essential aspect of European cultural history. Beginning in Antiquity, and then under the influence of Christianity, an extremely diverse body was built throughout the continent, and was the source of vast stylistic movements stretching over nearly two thousand years. This sacred and secular collection was adapted and passed down until the twentieth century, both with regard to its forms and its technology, while simultaneously importing non-European motifs. Since the Enlightenment, the recognition of monuments has stimulated this cross-cultural transfer, assisted by the rise of national spaces and driven by the near-sanctuarization of the monument, which was recognized by protective laws applied during the nineteenth century in various countries. Despite destruction and the World Wars, Europe never ceased to think of itself as a monumental continent whose resources, which are today used for political and economic purposes, confer on it the best part of its global prestige. Snowshill Manor, England. In choosing to present stylized fictitious monuments on the bills of its new currency, the European Union carefully managed the sensitivity of its different member states, and in particular reminded one of the fundamental qualities of the continent's cultural history: the production of a monumental architecture that since Antiquity has represented a dual framework that is both constructed and spiritual. Europe, whose entire history is marked, through both time and space, by public and private buildings of considerable scale, consequently distinguishes itself from civilizations without architecture. Along with ancient Egypt and the Mesoamerican civilizations, it includes the oldest built heritage of humanity, as demonstrated by spectacular ruins and intact buildings, sometimes still in use. -

UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI Date:___________________ I, _________________________________________________________, hereby submit this work as part of the requirements for the degree of: in: It is entitled: This work and its defense approved by: Chair: _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ Digital Mobility An Architecture for the Digital Lifestyle A thesis submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE In the School of Architecture and Interior Design College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning 16 May 2007 Mark W. Chachula Bachelor of Architectural Engineering The Pennsylvania State University Committee Chair: Jay Chatterjee Committee Second Chair: Elizabeth Riorden Abstract Being mobile means having the ability to easily access goods, services, information and people from other physi- cal locations. Traditionally this meant traveling from place to place or building to building. With the computer and the internet, however, it is possible to do these things all from one single location regardless of where we are on Earth. This is Digital Mobility. Today with the internet this takes place through a screen using a mouse and keyboard as opposed to through experiencing a variety of buildings and spaces. Architecture for the digital lifestyle will merge our digital experiences with physical experiences by providing a reconfigurable environment that allows us to truly inhabit the internet. Instead of experiencing the internet through the screen it is experienced through the building and the space we inhabit. In this way there is access to many dif- ferent places and environments from one single location. -

Examiner: Professor KENT PERSSON, Div. of Structural Mechanics, LTH. Copyright © 2016 Division of Structural Mechanics, Faculty of Engineering LTH, Lund University, Sweden. Printed by Media-Tryck LU, Lund, Sweden, June 2016 (Pl). For information, address: Division of Structural Mechanics, Faculty of Engineering LTH, Lund University, Box 118, SE-221 00 Lund, Sweden. Homepage: www.byggmek.lth.se Abstract High-rise buildings are exposed to both static and dynamic loads. Depending on the method used and how the structure is modelled in finite element software the results can vary. Some of the issues and modelling techniques, introduced below, are investigated in this Master’s thesis. Dynamic effects such as resonance frequencies and accelerations are considered. The variation in static results from reaction forces, overturning moments, deflections, critical buckling loads, forces between prefabricated elements and force distributions between concrete cores are investigated with different models. The models are evaluated by different elements and methods, such as construction stage analysis, to study the impact these have on the results. Simplified calculations by hand according to different standards, regulations and codes such as SS-ISO, EKS and Eurocode have been compared with finite element analyses. -

The door processes by counting what passes through the opening. In iA we do exactly that -- our iA software counts every change that occurs in the position and configuration of any IPO object. Each object that is defined in Protospace *) software (developed during the past few years by the Centre for Interactive Architecture), behaves in time and What is Interactive Architecture? Let me first keeps track of changes. Each object is a kind of clarify what it is NOT. Interactive Architecture IPO machine, an agent communicating with other - from here on abbreviated as iA - is NOT simply agents. An example of this type of communication architecture that is responsive or adaptive is a bird communicating with other birds in a swarm. to changing circumstances. On the contrary, Birds are complex adaptive IPO systems. They iA is based on the concept of bi-directional receive signals, they process these signals and communication, which requires two active parties.
