Summer Session Munich 2019 Monday, June 3 - Saturday, July 13, 2019 (6 Weeks) (Arrival Sunday, June 2– Departure Sunday, July 14) Summer Session Munich 2019 Monday, June 3 - Saturday, July 13, 2019 (6 weeks) (arrival Sunday, June 2– departure Sunday, July 14) Modern History of Sustainable Architecture 3 credits (ARC 368R / ARC 388R) Technologies and Techniques of Sustainable Design 3 credits (ARC 350R / ARC 386M) 1 objectives These two integrated seminars on sustainable architecture and design are designed to give students a deep insight into the cultural history of sustainable design in Germany and its direct application at a variety of scales. Due to the unique location of the summer session, the students will experience alternative models of urban planning and mixed-use developments. They will experience various forms of public space, private and public transport, and sustainable planning and design in one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Most importantly is to experience life as a Munich resident while living in one or more apartments of different characteristics and locations throughout the city. While most of the time during the week the program will be located in Munich, but the group will also travel to places such as Stuttgart, Freiburg, Regensburg, and to the Alps with Mittenwald, Garmisch Partenkirchen, and Innsbruck, Austria. Typically, most weekends are free for individual or small group student travel. 2 contents 2.1 seminar on technologies and techniques of sustainable design Portions of the seminar will be taught by the instructor of this course in a classroom-style environment (past venues included at the 'Technische Universität München' (TUM) and/or at the Oskar von Miller Forum, both of which are located in the center of Munich). The course will present and explore basic principles of sustainable design at a variety of scales. This will be followed by additional lectures by invited speakers. An important part of the program will be the various presentations by external experts, site visits and the participation in any seminars and conferences in which we may be able to participate. The two (2) courses reinforce each other. 2.2 seminar on the modern history of sustainable architecture Various case studies related to sustainable design will be analyzed with regard to their cultural, functional, ecological and aesthetic characteristics as well as their construction, including the urban context and the infrastructure. While the title of this course specifies “modern” history, the entirety of history is actually included as a basis to evaluate contemporary architecture and sustainability. These case studies will include urban quarters, such as the 'Messestadt Riem' in Munich and the Solar Quarter Vauban in Freiburg as well as indi- vidual residential, commercial and cultural buildings from the medieval to the present. 3 research topics The participants of the two seminars* are expected to participate in all course-related activities as described in the course schedule. Each student is asked to choose one research topic for each section of the Summer Program Munich. Section 1 is dealing with the 'technologies and techniques of sustainable design' while section 2 is related to the 'modern history and case studies of sustainable architecture'. As implied previously, most of the topics in section 1 (technology/techniques) are suited to be supported by section 2 (case studies). Students are asked to write a professional paper for each section (minimum 6 pages) and to produce a poster, in pdf format which will con- tain a summary of the paper and key visual material related to the topic chosen. The papers and posters will also follow a vertical format size of approximately A1. The text is expected to be in the range of 250 words. The final presentations may be presented in analog or digital formats. The project outlines, rough drafts, and final presentations are to follow the schedule. Instead of writing a second, independent paper for section 2 (Modern history and case studies of sustainable architecture), the students might wish to pursue a more extensive paper (minimum 12 pages) based on topics related to section 1 by supporting their theory part through case studies. This may be acceptable provided that the student has discussed and received written permission from the instructor. This is usually based on a presentation by the student to the instructor that demonstrates a clear research agenda. *Note: While it is possible to enroll in only one (1) course (3 hours) the student will be required to participate in all course-related activities as described in the course schedule. Students are encouraged to define their own topics and are not limited to the following but they shall be in accordance with the course instructor. 3.1 Technologies and techniques of sustainable design possible research topics: 3.1.1 Sustainable urban infrastructure: Public transport systems 3.1.2. Sustainable urban infrastructure: Energy supply and distribution 3.1.3 Water systems: Supply, rain-water treatment, grey water treatment, waste-water treatment, living machines 3.1.4 Principles and strategies of sustainable urban planning / co-housing 3.1.5 Sustainable landscape architecture: Urban landscapes, parks, green spaces, green roofs, green walls, etc. 3.1.6 Principles and strategies of sustainable design: Residential buildings (Energy conservation and efficiency, ventilation, daylight, electricity, etc.) 3.1.7 Principles and strategies of sustainable design: Commercial buildings (Energy conservation and efficiency, ventilation, daylight, electricity, etc.) 3.1.8 Technologies: Geothermal and large-scale thermal storage systems 3.1.9 Technologies for the use of renewable energies as part of the building envelope: thermal/electricity 3.1.10 Technologies for the use of renewable energies as part of the building envelope: daylight 3.1.11 Natural ventilation: Strategies and technologies 3.1.12 Innovative building materials / smart materials for the building envelope 3.1.13 The role of ecosystem services in the built environment 3.1.14 Urban farming 3.1.15 Life cycle assessment 3.1.16 Self-sustained living (Carbon footprint minimization) 3.2 modern history and case studies of sustainable architecture As stated previously, the theoretical studies of section 3.1 by case studies are generally regarded to support and be related to section 3.2. However, depending on the interest and background of the participant, section 3.2 might be seen independent from section 3.1. Independent topics should be defined in by the student and by agreement of the instructor. The student may also select a broader subject such as those listed below: 3.2.1 Urban culture and its meaning for sustainable living 3.2.2 Building culture and its meaning for sustainable living 4. Evaluation of student's work All students are expected to participate in all the activities and comply with all the requirements for the whole program. Grades will be based on active engagement and participation (40%), term papers (40%), and professional presentation (20%). The student's work will be evaluated on its rigor and evolution over the semester. Grade descriptions A: excellent work Project surpasses expectations in terms of inventiveness, appropriateness, verbal and visual ability, conceptual rigor, craft, and personal develop- ment. Student pursues concepts and techniques above and beyond what is discussed in class. Project is complete on all levels. B: good work Project is thorough, well researched, diligently pursued, and successfully completed. Student pursues ideas and suggestions presented in class and puts in effort to resolve required projects. Project is complete on all levels and demonstrates potential for excellence. C: required work Project meets the minimum requirements. Suggestions made in class are not pursued with dedication or rigor. Project is incomplete in one or more areas. D: poor work Project is incomplete. Basic skills including graphic skills, verbal clarity or logic of presentation are not level-appropriate. Student does not demon- strate the required design skill and knowledge base. F: unacceptable work Project is unresolved. Minimum objectives are not met. Performance is not acceptable. Note that this grade will be assigned when you have exces- sive unexcused absences. X: (excused incomplete) Can be given only for legitimate reasons of illness or family emergency. Simply not completing work on time is not an adequate cause for assigning this evaluation. It may only be used after consultation with the Associate Deans' offices and with an agreement as to a new completion date. Studio work must be completed before the second week of the next design semester in which you are enrolling, according to School of Architecture policy. ALL GRADES ARE SUBJECT TO DEDUCTIONS FOR ABSENCES, LATE WORK AND LATE ARRIVALS. 5. Attendance Full participation in presentations, field visits, readings, discussions, and projects is essential. Attendance is mandatory. Students with three (3) unexcused absences may be dropped from the course, however, the minimum penalty for more than two( 2) unexcused absences is a full letter drop in your final grade for the course. Please contact the instructor prior to class if you expect to be late or miss class. A student who misses classes or other required activities for the observance of a religious holiday should inform the instructor as far in advance of the absence as possible, so that arrangements can be made to complete an assignment within a reasonable time after the absence. A student who fails to complete missed work within the time allowed will be subject to the normal academic penalties. Students with Disabilities Any student with a documented disability (physical or cognitive) who requires academic accommodations should contact the Services for Students with Disabilities area of the Office of the Dean of Students at 471-6259 as soon as possible to request an official letter outlining authorized accommodations. Honor Codes Student Honor Code: As a student of The University of Texas at Austin, I shall abide by the core values of the University and uphold academic integrity. University Code of Conduct: The core values of the University of Texas at Austin are learning, discovery, freedom, leadership, individual opportunity, and responsibility.

  • 1 the Alps, Richard Strauss's Alpine Symphony and Environmentalism
    Note: This is an expanded version of an article appearing in the journal Green Letters (2011); it is intended for a literary rather than musical readership, and the punctuation and spellings are British. The Alps, Richard Strauss’s Alpine Symphony and Environmentalism By Brooks Toliver Introduction After love and death, nature may well be European music’s preferred theme; it figures significantly in troubadour cansos, pastoral madrigals and operas, tone poems, impressionistic preludes, and elsewhere. In light of this it is puzzling how seldom actual nature is invoked in musical discourse. Composers—Richard Strauss among them—have been known to seek out nature in the manner of landscape painters, but there is no similar tradition among the critics, who ground nature-music and their judgments of it not in nature but in other music and criticism. When confronted with the vivid imagery of Strauss’s Alpine Symphony (1915), contemporaries wrote primarily of the aesthetics of vivid imagery, relegating the images themselves to the level of anecdote. Musicologists are quite adept at exploring the relationship of works to cultural constructions of nature, but relatively few have brought real environments into the discussion of canonical music. There has as yet been no serious consideration of how the Alps might be critical to an appreciation of the Alpine Symphony, nor has anyone theorized what the consequences of the Alpine Symphony might be for the Alps. Surely it is worth asking whether it metaphorically embodies sustaining or destructive relationships to the environment it represents, if it respects or disrespects nonhuman nature, and if love of nature is contingent on a symbolic domination of it, to name just three questions.

  • Schriftliche Anfrage Des Abgeordneten Florian Von Brunn SPD Vom 05.11.2020
    18. Wahlperiode 15.01.2021 Drucksache 18/11864 Schriftliche Anfrage des Abgeordneten Florian von Brunn SPD vom 05.11.2020 Verkehrschaos in den bayerischen Alpenlandkreisen II: Was tut die Staatsregie- rung in Kochel am See und am Walchensee? Der motorisierte Urlaubs- und Ausflugsverkehr, aber auch der Güterverkehr auf der Straße hat in den bayerischen Alpenlandkreisen in den letzten Jahren immer weiter zu- genommen. Die Corona-Pandemie hat dadurch, dass viele Menschen jetzt den „Urlaub zu Hause“ verbringen, die Situation noch weiter dramatisch verschärft. Diese Entwick- lung konterkariert nicht nur den dringend notwendigen Klimaschutz im Verkehrsbereich und führt zu erheblichen Belastungen mit Abgasen und Lärm für die Anwohnerinnen und Anwohner, sondern gefährdet dadurch auch die Grundlagen für erfolgreichen Tou- rismus. Diese negative Entwicklung wird, wie in einem Brennglas, beispielhaft in Ko- chel am See und am Walchensee deutlich. Ich frage die Staatsregierung: 1.) a Was haben Staatsregierung und zuständige Behörden bisher konkret unter- nommen, um die Verkehrsprobleme und den regelmäßigen Stau in Kochel am See und am Walchensee zu reduzieren und zu vermeiden? ........................ 2 ) b Wie hat sich die Beförderungskapazität der Bahn- und Buslinien in der Region um Walchen- und Kochelsee in den letzten zehn Jahren entwickelt? ... 3 ) c Wie hat sich der motorisierte Verkehr in der Region um Walchen- und Kochel- see in den letzten zehn Jahren entwickelt (bitte unter Berücksichtigung insbesondere auch von Ausflugs- und Güterverkehr)? ....................................... 3 2.) a Zu welchen Ergebnissen sind die von den zuständigen Behörden in Auf- trag gegeben Verkehrsstudien für Kochel und den Walchensee gekommen (bitte Ergebnisse der jeweiligen Studien der Antwort anfügen)? ........................ 4 ) b Welche Möglichkeiten bestehen, den öffentlichen Busverkehr in Kochel und am Walchensee zu beschleunigen und zu priorisieren? ....................................

Landesanstalt für Boden­ kultur und Pflanzenbau Zur Vogelwelt des Werdenfelser Landes: Jahresbericht 1979 von Einhard Bezzel und Franz Lechner Vorgang: Garmischer vogelkdl. Ber. 5, 1979: 39-46 Allgemeine Ergebnisse Zur Brutzeit 1979 wurden 179 der insgesamt 144o Planquadrate von je P 1 km wenigstens einmal begangen. 177 Arten wurden registriert, davon Säbelschnäbler und Ringschnabelente als neue Gäste. Zur bisherigen Artenliste kommen weiterhin der nachträglich publizierte Nachweis des Odinshühnchens 1976 und die Beobachtung eines Sanderlings 1977 hinzu. Damit erhöht sich die Zahl der nachgewiesenen Arten bis 31.12.1979 auf 259 (Zahl der Brutvögel 15o Arten). Bemerkenswerte Ereignisse: Neue Beobachtungen des Steinhuhns; all­ mähliche (W ieder-?)Einwanderung des Gartenbaumläufers in Garmisch- Partenkirchen; offenbar noch Ausbreitung des Birkenzeisigs im Voralpen­ land bzw. in den Tälern; neue Beobachtungen des Karmingimpels (aber noch kein Brutnachweis). Unter den negativen Ergebnissen ist besonders erwähnenswert, daß keine Beobachtungen von Zwergdommel, Turteltaube und Felsenschwalbe gelangen und auch Brutzeitfeststellungen von Hohl­ taube, Dorngrasmücke und Feldsperling fehlen. Die Wasservogelzählungen wurden an den wichtigsten Gewässern zu den internationalen Terminen durchgeführt. Mitarbeiter W. Berndt, E. Bezzel, Z. Bierling, R. Bless, K .H. Christmann, R. Dobner, H.

  • Europe's Battery: the Making of the Alpine Energy Landscape, 1870- 1955
    EUROPE'S BATTERY: THE MAKING OF THE ALPINE ENERGY LANDSCAPE, 1870- 1955 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Marc D. Landry II, M.A. Washington, DC April 2, 2013 Copyright 2013 by Marc D. Landry II All Rights Reserved ii EUROPE'S BATTERY: THE MAKING OF THE ALPINE ENERGY LANDSCAPE, 1870- 1955 Marc D. Landry II, M.A. Thesis Advisor: John R. McNeill, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This study examines the environmental history of hydropower development in the Alps from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries. Analyzing government archival files, associational journals, conference proceedings, and published contemporary material from several Alpine countries, it seeks to determine how and why Europeans modified the Alpine landscape to generate hydropower, and to explore the consequences of these decisions. I argue that during this time period, Europeans thoroughly transformed the Alpine environment, creating what I call "Europe's Battery": a gigantic system for storing hydropower and distributing it on a continental scale. This study shows how nineteenth-century innovations in energy technology contributed to a dramatic shift in the perception of the Alps as a landscape of "white coal." It demonstrates how at the outset of electrification, Europeans modified Alpine waterways on an unprecedented scale in order to tap into the power of flowing Alpine water. I show how after the turn of the twentieth century, Europeans took advantage of the unique mountain environment to store water, first by converting existing lakes into reservoirs.

They sum up a complex web of connections between people and natural resources, knit together by transport systems. Cities are also connected to other cities, regions, and countries. Like an organism cut off from its food, a city amputated from its vital connections to natural resources--food and fuel--can suffer and even die. This study argues these connections and the transport system that bind them together make a city work. Warfare, especially strategic bombing, disrupts these connections, having huge impacts on citizens’ lives. Urbanites are forced to confront their dependence on natural resources and vulnerability to natural forces such as weather. The subject of this study, Munich, experienced these changes both during and after WWII. Between 1939 and 1948, the city descended from thriving cultural metropole to isolated, burned-out wreck, then slowly rallied to become a city on the mend.
