INTRODUCTION On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake rocked Japan and triggered a massive tsunami that devastated the country’s northern coast.1 While the cautionary tales of this heart-breaking disaster will be written over many years or even decades, some critical lessons can already be discerned. Japan’s experience confirms, for example, that strict, well-enforced building codes are crucial tools for mitigating disaster risk.2 There is little doubt that an earthquake of this magnitude would have killed many more people had it occurred in almost any other densely populated urban area.

Ali† and Kyoung Sun Moon Structures Division, School of Architecture, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, IL 61820, USA †Corresponding Author: Tel: + 1 217 333 1330; Fax: +1 217 244 2900; E-mail: [email protected] Received 8 May; accepted 13 June 2007 Abstract: Tall building developments have been rapidly increasing worldwide. This paper reviews the evolution of tall building’s structural systems and the technological driving force behind tall building developments. For the primary structural systems, a new classification – interior structures and exterior structures – is presented. While most representative structural systems for tall buildings are discussed, the emphasis in this review paper is on current trends such as outrigger systems and diagrid structures. Auxiliary damping systems controlling building motion are also discussed. Further, contemporary “out-of-the-box” architectural design trends, such as aerodynamic and twisted forms, which directly or indirectly affect the structural performance of tall buildings, are reviewed. Finally, the future of structural developments in tall buildings is envisioned briefly. Keywords: Aerodynamics, Building forms, Damping systems, Diagrid structures, Exterior structures, Interior structures, Outrigger systems, Structural performance, Structural systems, Tall buildings Introduction Tall buildings emerged in the late nineteenth century in revolution – the steel skeletal structure – as well as consequent the United States of America. They constituted a so-called glass curtain wall systems, which occurred in Chicago, has led to “American Building Type,” meaning that most important tall the present state-of-the-art skyscraper.

  • Some Statistical Models for Prediction Jonathan Auerbach Submitted In
    Some Statistical Models for Prediction Jonathan Auerbach Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 Jonathan Auerbach All Rights Reserved Abstract Some Statistical Models for Prediction Jonathan Auerbach This dissertation examines the use of statistical models for prediction. Examples are drawn from public policy and chosen because they represent pressing problems facing U.S. governments at the local, state, and federal level. The first five chapters provide examples where the perfunctory use of linear models, the prediction tool of choice in government, failed to produce reasonable predictions. Methodological flaws are identified, and more accurate models are proposed that draw on advances in statistics, data science, and machine learning. Chapter 1 examines skyscraper construction, where the normality assumption is violated and extreme value analysis is more appropriate. Chapters 2 and 3 examine presidential approval and voting (a leading measure of civic participation), where the non-collinearity assumption is violated and an index model is more appropriate. Chapter 4 examines changes in temperature sensitivity due to global warming, where the linearity assumption is violated and a first-hitting-time model is more appropriate. Chapter 5 examines the crime rate, where the independence assumption is violated and a block model is more appropriate. The last chapter provides an example where simple linear regression was overlooked as providing a sensible solution. Chapter 6 examines traffic fatalities, where the linear assumption provides a better predictor than the more popular non-linear probability model, logistic regression.

  • The Complex History of Sustainability
    The Complex History of Sustainability An index of Trends, Authors, Projects and Fiction Amir Djalali with Piet Vollaard Made for Volume magazine as a follow-up of issue 18, After Zero. See the timeline here: archis.org/history-of-sustainability Made with LATEX Contents Introduction 7 Bibliography on the history of sustainability 9 I Projects 11 II Trends 25 III Fiction 39 IV People, Events and Organizations 57 3 4 Table of Contents Introduction Speaking about the environment today apparently means speaking about Sustainability. Theoretically, no one can take a stand against Sustain- ability because there is no definition of it. Neither is there a history of Sustainability. The S-word seems to point to a universal idea, valid any- where, at any time. Although the notion of Sustainability appeared for the first time in Germany in the 18th century (as Nachhaltigkeit), in fact Sustainability (and the creative oxymoron ’Sustainable Development’) isa young con- cept. Developed in the early seventies, it was formalized and officially adopted by the international community in 1987 in the UN report ’Our Common Future’. Looking back, we see that Western society has always been obsessed by its relationship with the environment, with what is meant to be outside ourselves, or, as some call it, nature. Many ideas preceded the notion of Sustainability and even today there are various trends and original ideas following old ideological traditions. Some of these directly oppose Sustainability. This timeline is a subjective attempt to historically map the different ideas around the relationship between humans and their environment. 5 6 Introduction Some earlier attempts to put the notion of sustainability in a historical perspective Ulrich Grober, Deep roots.
