1. KONSCHTHAL ESCH CONTEMPORARY ART SPACE Prior to opening in autumn 2021, while the premises are being transformed, the Konschthal Esch is presenting an exhibition cycle entitled Schaufenster (Window), showcasing a series of contemporary art installations. The Konschthal Esch will thus position itself as an essential institution for the development of the cultural network in Esch-sur-Alzette, while aiming to achieve a national and international dimension. The first exhibitions will illustrate these ambitions while laying the foundations for mediation programmes destined for an inter- generational public. Designed as a production and exhibition platform for contemporary visual arts, The Konschthal Esch will host both international contributions and local productions. It will become a place of sociocultural exchange in resonance with contemporary subjects and their repercussions in today’s art world. The Konschthal Esch will be an essential element in the cultural development strategy of Connexions. Its programme will be established in correlation with the Bridderhaus institution of artists’ residences and will form a part of the urban cultural fabric while prioritizing collaborations with other cultural institutions in Esch-sur-Alzette.

Current Migration Situation in the EU: Hate Crime November 2016
HELPING TO MAKE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS A REALITY FOR EVERYONE IN THE EUROPEAN UNION Current migration situation in the EU: hate crime November 2016 Asylum seekers and migrants face various forms of violence and harassment across the European Union (EU). As this month’s report on the migration situation underscores, such acts are both perpetrated and condoned by state authorities, private individuals, as well as vigilante groups. They increasingly also target activists and politicians perceived as ‘pro-refugee’. Meanwhile, a lack of relevant data is hampering efforts to develop effective measures to prevent these incidents. Outlining recent attacks in 14 EU Member States, this focus of the November report also examines the diverse factors that undermine the reporting of such incidents and highlights promising practices seeking to counter them.

Now the magnitude of the weight is proportional to the distance (s) from the origin to the point (x,y). I Thus the sum of the forces W and H must be equal to −T , but since T is tangent to the chain the slope of H + W must equal f 0(x). -

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5038/2326-3652.4.1.4 Available at: https://scholarcommons.usf.edu/ujmm/vol4/iss1/4 Length of a Hanging Cable Abstract The shape of a cable hanging under its own weight and uniform horizontal tension between two power poles is a catenary. The catenary is a curve which has an equation defined yb a hyperbolic cosine function and a scaling factor. The scaling factor for power cables hanging under their own weight is equal to the horizontal tension on the cable divided by the weight of the cable. Both of these values are unknown for this problem. Newton's method was used to approximate the scaling factor and the arc length function to determine the length of the cable. A script was written using the Python programming language in order to quickly perform several iterations of Newton's method to get a good approximation for the scaling factor.

The Parametric Façade Optimization in Architecture Through a Synthesis of Design, Analysis and Fabrication
The Parametric Façade Optimization in Architecture through a Synthesis of Design, Analysis and Fabrication by Peter C. Graham A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Architecture Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2012 © Peter C. Graham 2012 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Modular building systems that use only prefabricated parts, sometimes known as building “kits”, first emerged in the 1830s and 1840s in the form of glass and iron roof systems for urban transportation and distribution centers and multi-storey façade systems. Kit systems are still used widely today in the form of curtain wall assemblies for office and condominium towers, yet in all this time the formal flexibility of these systems (their ability to form complex shapes) has not increased greatly. This is in large part due to the fact that the systems still rely on mass-produced components. This lack of flexibility limits the degree to which these systems can be customized for particular contexts and optimized for such things as daylighting or energy efficiency. Digital design and fabrication tools now allow us to create highly flexible building façade systems that can be customized for different con- texts as well as optimized for particular performance objectives. This thesis develops a prototype for a flexible façade system using parametric modeling tools. -

La scelta di utilizzare il computer per esprimere il fare artistico, per sviluppare un linguaggio della manifestazione artistica diviene strettamente connesso • al sistema operativo, • all’applicazione, • alla pagina definita dal codice ed • alle teorie che del computer prendono in considerazione gli aspetti logici, simbolici; E’ possibile attivare sul computer, in maniera chiara e fortemente innovativa, una rappresentazione del proprio agire artistico. La vera innovazione, sappiamo bene, non consiste certo nella tastiera più o meno user friendly ma nella capacità di usare il mezzo informatico alla stessa stregua dei più disparati materiali presi a base nelle rappresentazioni dell’arte contemporanea. 13 14 15 16 17 Quali possono essere, allora, le strategie per l'archiviazione e, principalmente, per la conservazione delle arti digitali e di altre pratiche artistiche contemporanee di natura effimera o variabile e comunque strettamente dipendente da un medium la cui sopravvivenza è abbondantemente messa in crisi dagli stessi assunti metodologici della tecnologia adottata? Trovo in questo senso diagrammatica, esulando solo per un attimo dalle arti figurative (che includono figurazione e rappresentazione comunque iconica) la composizione musicale Helicopter String Quartet di Karlheinz Stockhausen che prevede che i quattro esecutori siano ciascuno su un differente elicottero ed eseguano sincronicamente l’esecuzione essendo tra loro collegati mediante apparecchi di registrazione e trasmissione coordinati da terra dal regista o meglio ancora dal direttore tecnologico dell’orchestra. -

The Evolution of Architectural Pedagogy in the Age of Information: Advancing technologies and their implementation in architectural pedagogies by Hamad Alqabandy A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved November 2012 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Beverly Brandt, Chair Claudia Mesch David Newton ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2012 ABSTRACT The contemporary architectural pedagogy is far removed from its ancestry: the classical Beaux-Arts and polytechnic schools of the 19th century and the Bauhaus and Vkhutemas models of the modern period. Today, the “digital” has invaded the academy and shapes pedagogical practices, epistemologies, and ontologies within it, and this invasion is reflected in teaching practices, principles, and tools. Much of this digital integration goes unremarked and may not even be explicitly taught. In this qualitative research project, interviews with 18 leading architecture lecturers, professors, and deans from programs across the United States were conducted. These interviews focused on advanced practices of digital architecture, such as the use of digital tools, and how these practices are viewed. These interviews yielded a wealth of information about the uses (and abuses) of advanced digital technologies within the architectural academy, and the results were analyzed using the methods of phenomenology and grounded theory. Most schools use digital technologies to some extent, although this extent varies greatly. While some schools have abandoned hand-drawing and other hand-based craft almost entirely, others have retained traditional techniques and use digital technologies sparingly. Reasons for using digital design processes include industry pressure as well as the increased ability to solve problems and the speed with which they could be solved.
