  • Architectural Models
    C HAPTER 1 3 Architectural Models This chapter describes the architectural models that can be appHed to GMPLS networks. These architectures are not only useful for driving the ways in which networking equipment is deployed, but they are equally important in determining how the protocols themselves are constructed, and the responsibilities of the various protocol components. Several distinct protocol models have been advanced and the choice between them is far from simple. To some extent, the architectures reflect the backgrounds of their proponents: GMPLS sits uncomfortably between the world of the Internet Protocol and the sphere of influence of more traditional telecommunications companies. As a result, some of the architectures are heavily influenced by the Internet, while others have their roots in SONET/SDH, ATM, and even the telephone system (POTS). The supporters of the diff'erent architectures tend to be polarized and fairly dogmatic. Even though there are many similarities between the models, the proponents will often fail to recognize the overlaps and focus on what is different, making bold and forceful statements about the inadequacy of the other approaches. This chapter does not attempt to anoint any architecture as the best, nor does it even try to draw direct comparisons. Instead, each architecture is presented in its own right, and the reader is left to make up her own mind. Also introduced in this chapter is the end-to-end principle that underlies the lETF's Internet architecture and then describes three diff'erent GMPLS architectural models. The peer and overlay models are simple views of the network and are natural derivatives of the end-to-end architectural model: They can be combined into the third model, the hybrid model, which has the combined flexibihty of the two approaches.

  • Digital Charrette: a Web Based Tool to Supplement
    DIGITAL CHARRETTE: A WEB BASED TOOL TO SUPPLEMENT THE ADMISSION PROCEDURE TO GRADUATE ARCHITECTURAL DEGREE PROGRAMS A Thesis by KAMESHWARI VISWANADHA Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE December 2001 Major Subject: Architecture iii ABSTRACT Digital Charrette: A Web Based Tool to Supplement the Admission Procedure to Graduate Architectural Degree Programs. (December 2001) Kameshwari Viswanadha, B.Arch., University of Mumbai (India) Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Guillermo Vasquez de Velasco The NAAB (National Architectural Accrediting Board), as an evaluator of architectural education in the United States, has established both graduate architectural curriculum criteria and student performance criteria expected to be fulfilled by the student at the time of graduation. To fulfill these standards set by the NAAB, the graduate selection committees of architecture schools require the ability to predict graduate design studio performance of the applicants. Also, the high percentage of international applicants suggests the necessity of a standardized evaluation tool. This research presents a standardized web based testing environment titled ‘Digital Charrette’ that would contribute toward the fair evaluation of applicants to graduate architectural degree programs. Spatial ability is related to design and visualization skills, a part of the NAAB criteria, and is also associated with design studio performance of architecture students. The Digital Charrette is a VRML environment within which spatial exercises are administered. It is designed to supplement the current admission procedure and would enable the selection of students with a greater potential to perform well in graduate architectural design studios.

  • Volume 12 Material Thinking of Display Art in the Presence of Architecture — the Balance of Power MONA — a Case Study Adria
    Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies Volume 12 Auckland University of Technology Material Thinking of Display Auckland 1142, New Zealand Art in the Presence of Architecture — the Balance of Power MONA — A Case Study Adrian Spinks Abstract: This paper explains the rationale and methodologies that emerged throughout the Exhibition Design process at the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA). It describes the need to adopt a new way of thinking and find new ways of achieving an outcome for a set of complex problems that resulted from the need to bring the art, the antiquities, and the building together. The Museum posed unique challenges to be solved in the exhibition design. It required not just new processes for project management but also the inven- tion of new tools for the design task. Since it opened in January 2011, the response to MONA, from both public and critics, has been overwhelmingly positive. Reviews highlight the notion that it is possible to create an atmosphere that is interesting and engaging from both an architectural and exhibition design perspective. Our initial assumption that architecture and content are equally important seems to have been vindicated.

  • Museum and Center for Contemporary Art: Design Principles and Functional Features
    E3S Web of Conferences 274, 01019 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202127401019 STCCE – 2021 Museum and center for contemporary art: design principles and functional features Elza Bashirova1[0000-0002-0346-1713], Elena Denisenko1[0000-0002-3155-2153], Kamilla Akhmetova1, and Vilnur Kadirov1 1Kazan State University of Architecture and Engineering, 420043 Kazan, Russia Abstract. The article discusses the topical issue of the establishment of museum and center for contemporary art. The objective of the research is to analyze the historical background of contemporary art museums; to review the world design practice of them according to urban planning, functional, architectural and expositional criteria; to reveal functional features’ trends and to identify the design principles of an advanced center for contemporary art. We collected more than 45 leading examples to compile a matrix using classification and analysis methods. As a result, we reached the museums’ functional features: administrative, exhibition, educational, recreational are fixed functions; storage and research functions are optional; cultural and entertainment are particularly additional functions. At first, art museums and centers are focused on adaption to visitors and intersection with them, secondly, on the exhibit. To sum up, we define the design principles of the ideal architectural model on the basis of urban planning, architectural, sociocultural and technological radicals. In conclusion, it is revealed that contemporary art centers have absorbed most of the historical functions of the museum and today are one of the developed types of the multifunctional architecture. Keywords. Architecture, center for contemporary art, museum, contemporary art, design principles, functional features. 1 Introduction Contemporary art, that was formed by the end of the Second World War and has been changing its appearance up to the present time, has become an integral part of the social and cultural life of a person.

  • Modelling Sustainable and Optimal Solutions for Building Services Integration in Early Architectural Design
    Modelling Sustainable and Optimal Solutions for Building Services Integration in Early Architectural Design Confronting the software and professional interoperability deficit Bianca Toth 1, Ruwan Fernando 1, Flora Salim 2, Robin Drogemuller 1, Jane Burry 2, Mark Burry 2, and John Frazer 1 1 School of Design, Queensland University of Technology, Australia 2 Spatial Information Architecture Laboratory, RMIT University, Australia [email protected] Abstract: Decisions made in the earliest stage of architectural design have the greatest impact on the construction, lifecycle cost and environmental footprint of buildings. Yet the building services, one of the largest contributors to cost, complexity, and environmental impact, are rarely considered as an influence on the design at this crucial stage. In order for efficient and environmentally sensitive built environment outcomes to be achieved, a closer collaboration between architects and services engineers is required at the outset of projects. However, in practice, there are a variety of obstacles impeding this transition towards an integrated design approach. This paper firstly presents a critical review of the existing barriers to multidisciplinary design. It then examines current examples of best practice in the building industry to highlight the collaborative strategies being employed and their benefits to the design process. Finally, it discusses a case study project to identify directions for further research. Keywords: building services, decisions, integration, multidisciplinary, design modelling 1. Introduction: Services Integration in Early Architectural Design Given contemporary awareness of global environmental concerns, the imperative to reduce energy consumption and associated carbon emissions can no longer be ignored by stakeholders and practitioners in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry.
