Informed forecasts, such as the recent Radley Report*, point, firstly, to a shift towards our capital city, at the expense of Paris and Frankfurt, as Europe’s leading financial centre, with a commensurate pressure on office space. Secondly, we can see a medium-to-long term growth in the number of highly educated, mathematically literate graduates required to run these complex, sophisticated financial operations. This shift from low skill to high skill staff puts a premium Paul Morrell BSc FRICS Hon FRIBA President on worker satisfaction, as they become ever more demanding of their company and working of British Council for Offices conditions. The lesson is clear – nothing is more important in a service economy like ours than the efficiency of the working environment. In today’s fast-moving marketplace, successful companies must invest in improved design and specification, to attract and retain an increasingly valuable and demanding workforce. People, not technology, must become the driving force of future office design. If one looks at the ratio of long-term costs of any business, including building design, construction, maintenance and personnel, design is a tiny fraction of the total – about 0.05 % of the cost of your workers. Yet that very small investment in good design has been proven to have a huge impact on staff satisfaction, efficiency and profitability. To put it another way, if a building can increase the productivity of its occupants by 10 per cent, you essentially get it free. For all these reasons, improved design and specification – and especially lighting, the subject of this timely brochure from Zumtobel Staff Lighting – can make a significant contribution to long-term success. * The Outlook for Banks Operating in the City of London (Radley & Associates, March 2004) People & The Workplace As Organisations change, so does the Role of the Workplace e sourc s Man Re ag Historical an em m e u n Perspective H t WORKFORCE “the wages grow exponentially” Lower qualified Less Aspirational Resistant to Change Traditional division between Human Resources and Facilities Management FM driven Desk/task area focus Functional “a cost centre to be controlled” WORKSTATION F ac nt ili me ties manage e Mana orat gem Contemporary rp en Co t Best Practice wellness war for talent gymnasia esprit de corps brand in the workplace very aspirational Productivity factors management culture influenced by lighting: attraction, retention, motivation Speed WORKFORCE Persistence Living at Work Accuracy WORKPLACE Attraction lifestyle in the workplace Retention added value Motivation break out zones Satisfaction open change agenda Happiness common parts differentiation Potential Untapped Lighting flexiworking Dividend best practice lighting The Untapped Lighting Dividend Single Path – Physiological Generic practice Conventional lighting Visual Task Productivity (Louvred Downlights) Capabilities Performance Result "Lighting and task Best practice Visual Task conditions Enhanced lighting Capabilities Performance that improve visibility Productivity (Direct/Indirect) lead to better task Dividend performance" Dual Path – Physiological & Psychological Physiological Path “Lighting and task Visual Task conditions that improve Capabilities Performance visibility lead to better task performance” Productivity factors influenced by lighting: “People with dimming Personal Control Speed Task control showed more sustained motivation, and Persistence Performance improved performance on Best practice Motivation a measure of attention” Accuracy lighting Attraction (Direct/Indirect and Retention controls) “People with dimming con- Motivation trol reported higher ratings Satisfaction Personal Health & of lighting quality, overall Control Wellbeing environmental satisfaction, Happiness and self-rated productivity” The Untapped Appraisal “People who are more sat- Lighting Dividend isfied with their lighting, rate Health & Preference the space as more attrac- Wellbeing tive, are happier, and more satisfied with their environ- Mood ment and their work” *”This is the first time that this com- Psychological Path* plete path has been demonstrated” “Light is the key to well-being.” lighting design should be based workplaces – gymnasia, break- cal, rather than purely visual, – Le Corbusier on the latest scientific research out zones, thoughtfully designed aspects of lighting. into lighting and visual comfort – common parts. most of which is ignored in The leading financial houses in Constructing and operating a current advisory codes.

    MAKING A RETURN ON INVESTMENT IN PASSIVE ARCHITECTURE TERRACED HOUSES DEVELOPMENT Wan Rahmah Mohd Zaki Universiti Teknologi Malaysia(UiTM) Malaysia E-mail: [email protected] Abdul Hadi Nawawi Universiti Teknologi MalaysiaQJiTM) Malaysia E-mail: [email protected] Sabarinah Sh Ahmad Universiti Teknologi MalaysiaQJiTM) Malaysia E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The main feature of a conventional terraced housing development is rows of rectangular shaped houses with the narrow facade as the frontage. Consequently, this limits natural cross ventilation and daylight penetration into the middle of the houses; and cause for unnecessary energy consumption on mechanical cooling and artijicial lighting to make the living spaces comfortable for occupants. Such inconsideration is mainly attributed to the optimum configuration of houses which offers the most economic return desired by the developer. Passive Architecture (PA) design strategies can make terraced houses more conducive for occupants as well as gives reasonable returns to the developer. The idea is demonstrated on a hypothetical double storeys terraced scheme in a 2.5 acre site whereby it is transformed intofour types of PA terraced houses development. The Return on Invesfment of the PA terraced houses is ascertained for two situations, ie., (i) fwed sales price for all types of house; and (ii) added premium to PA terraced houses due to the positive unintended effects such as low density housing, etc. If critical criteria for demand and supply in housing remain constant, it is found that PA terraced housing development offers competitive returns to the developer relative to the returns for conventional terraced housing scheme. Keyworh: Orientation, Indoor Comfort and Operational Energy 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Housing and Energy The recent public awareness on sustainability calls for housing to not only serves as a basic shelter but also to be energy efficient, i.e., designed to make occupants need low operational energy.

  • (Purple Masque) Scenic Design Checklist
    SECOND STAGE (PURPLE MASQUE) SCENIC DESIGN CHECKLIST MANDATORY ATTENDANCE AT: All director/designer meetings Minimum of two meetings with Faculty Scenic Designer: one prior to preliminary deadline, and one prior to final deadline. All production meetings Minimum of one run-through rehearsal prior to crew watch Crew watch All technical and dress rehearsals Strike Any conflicts with attending the above meetings/rehearsals must be cleared ahead of time with the faculty designer and the director. IMPORTANT INFORMATION There is a very limited time frame for installation and painting of scenery in the masque. Therefore, it is extremely important for you to be organized prior to your load in date. Some things to consider: You will be working late nights/weekends during load in and tech, so plan ahead to have papers/homework/studying done ahead of time. “I had to write a paper so the set didn’t get done until opening night” is not a valid excuse. EVERYTHING needs to be built prior to load in. It is best if you can paint pieces beforehand, also. If you are building a large unit, make sure it will fit through all doors. Large units in pieces should be “dry fit” in the scene shop to make sure they assemble as planned. Make sure you arrange for help ahead of time. People will be more willing to assist you if they know a week or two beforehand. This is not just your show. Having the scenery unfinished not only affects the actors, but the lighting and costume designs as well. ROUGH DESIGNS Rough designs will include research image boards of conceptual, architectural and detail inspirations for the set.

The processes that shape the surface of the earth acts over vast expenses of time - millions, or even billions of years. If we discount, for the moment, catastrophic events such as earthquakes and landslides, the earth's surface seems relatively stable over the timescales we can measure. Historical records do show the slow diversion of a rivers course, and the silting up of estuaries, for example. But usually we would expect images taken a hundred years ago to show a landscape essentially the same as today's. But imagine time speeding up, so that a million years pass in a minute. In this time frame, we would soon lose our concept of 'solid' earth, as we watch the restless surface change out of all recognition. - Earth’s restless surface, Deirdre Janson-Smith, 1996 1 Table of contents 1.

Fashion design is a form of art dedicated to the creation of clothing and other lifestyle accessories. Modern fashion design is divided into two basic categories: haute couture and ready-to-wear. The haute couture collection is dedicated to certain customers and is custom sized to fit these customers exactly. In order to qualify as a haute couture house, a designer has to be part of the Syndical Chamber for Haute Couture and show a new collection twice a year presenting a minimum of 35 different outfits each time. Ready-to-wear collections are standard sized, not custom made, so they are more suitable for large production runs. They are also split into two categories: designer/creator and confection collections. Designer collections have a higher quality and finish as well as an unique design. They often represent a certain philosophy and are created to make a statement rather than for sale.
