Philip Oldfield The year 2008 will long be remembered as the start of an economic crisis that has gripped the entire globe – a year that may also have brought to an abrupt end the worldwide construction boom of the past decade that has seen ever-denser cities containing ever-taller buildings proposed from Madrid to the Middle East, from Shanghai to San Francisco. As financial shock waves have reverberated around the world, high-profile tall building projects in virtually all skyscraper cities have been cancelled, delayed, or put on hold in response to the precarious global economic conditions. The question that everyone is now asking – is this the end of the tall ambitions of places such as Moscow, Chicago or Dubai for the short-mid term future? The Antony Wood correlation between tall buildings and economic recession is not a new one.

  • Architecture Program Report for 2012 NAAB Visit for Continuing Accreditation
    Philadelphia University Architecture Program, College of Architecture and the Built Environment Architecture Program Report for 2012 NAAB Visit for Continuing Accreditation Bachelor of Architecture (166-68 credit hours) Year of the Previous Visit: 2006 Current Term of Accreditation: At the March 2007 meeting of the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), the board reviewed the Visiting Team Report of the Philadelphia University School of Architecture. “The board noted the concern of the visiting team regarding problems with in several areas. As a result, the professional architecture program – Bachelor of Architecture (166 credit hours) – was formally granted a six-year term of accreditation with the stipulation that a focused evaluation be scheduled in two years to look only at the following: Human Resources and Physical Resources and the progress that has been made in those areas. The accreditation term is effective January 1, 2006. The program is scheduled for its next full accreditation visit in 2012. The focused evaluations are scheduled for the calendar year 2009.” Response to 2009 Focused Visit “After reviewing the Focused Evaluation Program Report submitted by the Philadelphia University Department of Architecture and Interiors as part of the focused evaluation of its Bachelor of Architecture program, in conjunction with the Focused Evaluation Team Report, the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) has found that the changes made or planned by the program to remove the identified deficiencies are satisfactory. “The program will not be required to report on these deficiencies as part of its Annual Report (AR) to the NAAB; however, the program should continue to include a response to any other deficiencies listed in the most recent Visiting Team Report, as well as report on any modifications made in the program that may affect its adherence to the conditions for accreditation.

  • TR-049 Highrise Office Building Fire, One Meridian Plaza
    U.S. Fire Administration/Technical Report Series Highrise Office Building Fire One Meridian Plaza Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USFA-TR-049/February 1991 U.S. Fire Administration Fire Investigations Program he U.S. Fire Administration develops reports on selected major fires throughout the country. The fires usually involve multiple deaths or a large loss of property. But the primary criterion T for deciding to do a report is whether it will result in significant “lessons learned.” In some cases these lessons bring to light new knowledge about fire--the effect of building construction or contents, human behavior in fire, etc. In other cases, the lessons are not new but are serious enough to highlight once again, with yet another fire tragedy report. In some cases, special reports are devel- oped to discuss events, drills, or new technologies which are of interest to the fire service. The reports are sent to fire magazines and are distributed at National and Regional fire meetings. The International Association of Fire Chiefs assists the USFA in disseminating the findings throughout the fire service. On a continuing basis the reports are available on request from the USFA; announce- ments of their availability are published widely in fire journals and newsletters. This body of work provides detailed information on the nature of the fire problem for policymakers who must decide on allocations of resources between fire and other pressing problems, and within the fire service to improve codes and code enforcement, training, public fire education, building technology, and other related areas. The Fire Administration, which has no regulatory authority, sends an experienced fire investigator into a community after a major incident only after having conferred with the local fire authorities to insure that the assistance and presence of the USFA would be supportive and would in no way interfere with any review of the incident they are themselves conducting.

  • “There Used to Be Nowhere to Eat in This Town:” Restaurant-Led Development in Postindustrial Philadelphia
    i “THERE USED TO BE NOWHERE TO EAT IN THIS TOWN:” RESTAURANT-LED DEVELOPMENT IN POSTINDUSTRIAL PHILADELPHIA _______________________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board _______________________________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY _______________________________________________________________________ By Stephen E. Nepa, Jr. May 2012 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Andrew C. Isenberg, Temple University Department of History Dr. Bryant Simon, Temple University Department of History Dr. Seth Bruggeman, Temple University Department of History Dr. Ellen Stroud, Bryn Mawr College, Department of Growth and Structure of Cities ii ABSTRACT There Used To Be Nowhere To Eat In This Town: Restaurant-led Development In Postindustrial Philadelphia This project examines the roles that restaurants have played in the revitalization and reconceptualization of postindustrial Philadelphia. While many studies of Philadelphia after 1945 focus heavily on race relations, politics, deindustrialization, large- scale renewal, or historic tourism, analyses of restaurants as spaces of consumption and experience have been conspicuously absent in the historiography. This project elevates the history of restaurants to determine how they allowed Philadelphia to cope with the many challenges of deindustrialization, the flight of human and monetary capital, and the rise of competing suburban centers of gravity.

  • Advances in Structural Systems for Tall Buildings: Emerging Developments for Contemporary Urban Giants
    buildings Review Advances in Structural Systems for Tall Buildings: Emerging Developments for Contemporary Urban Giants Mir M. Ali 1 and Kyoung Sun Moon 2,* 1 School of Architecture, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, IL 61820, USA; [email protected] 2 School of Architecture, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06511, USA * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-203-436-8983; Fax: +1-203-432-7175 Received: 2 July 2018; Accepted: 30 July 2018; Published: 10 August 2018 Abstract: New developments of tall buildings of ever-growing heights have been continuously taking place worldwide. Consequently, many innovations in structural systems have emerged. This paper presents a retrospective survey of the main structural systems for tall buildings with emphasis on the advancements of recent, emerging, and potentially emerging systems. A structural systems chart that was previously developed by the authors has been updated in this paper to recognize, categorize and add the more recent structural systems. Recent trends of tubular structural systems in modified forms including the braced megatubes and diagrids are presented. Core-outrigger structural systems are discussed with emphasis on their adaptability. The potential of employing superframes for stand-alone and conjoined megatall buildings is predicted. As a means to solve today’s various project-specific complex design requirements, different mixed structural systems for supertall and megatall buildings are presented. This paper also discusses the widespread application of composite structural systems and recent trends of concrete cores for contemporary tall buildings. Finally, the future of tall buildings is predicted as the race for height continues. Keywords: tall buildings; supertalls; megatalls; structural systems charts; interior structures; exterior structures; core-outriggers; tubular systems; braced megatubes; diagrids; superframes; conjoined towers; buttressed cores; combined and mixed systems; composite structures; concrete cores; height races 1.
