  • Volker 2010 Phd Deciding ... Uality.Pdf
    Leentje Volker In the past few years the image of tender procedures in Deciding which Dutch public clients selected an architect has been dominated by distressing newspaper headlines. Architects fear that the current tender culture will harm the quality of about Design Quality our built environment due to a potential lack of diversity, Value judgements and decision making in the creativity and innovation in architectural design. Due to potential risks clients often allow legal requirements to selection of architects by public clients under overrule their actual wishes. This PhD research addresses the origin of the problems as currently experienced by public European tendering regulations commissioning clients in architect selection and proposes Deciding about Design Quality pragmatic implications for future practice. It is therefore of interest for commissioning clients, management consultants, policy makers and legal advisors but also for designers and researchers in the field of architecture and decision making. Based on four empirical cases the author shows that during architect selection the rational legal requirements clash with the psychological process of decision making. Decision makers only start to make sense of the proposed designs once they are confronted with the alternatives. It is therefore about Design Quality almost impossible for clients to design a selection procedure and announce the criteria and weighting factors up front, as required by procurement law. The scientific underpinning of the findings is found in four theoretical perspectives on value judgements in design and the latest decision theories in which sensemaking, emotion, intuition, and expertise play prominent roles. The thesis proposes fifteen factors for a successful design of a tender procedure to select an architect.

  • Aerial Cable Cars in Medellín, Colombia
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Transportation Research Procedia 4 ( 2014 ) 55 – 67 Mobil. TUM 2014 “Sustainable Mobility in Metropolitan Regions”, May 19-20, 2014 Public Transport and Accessibility in Informal Settlements: Aerial Cable Cars in Medellín, Colombia Dirk Heinrichsa*, Judith S. Bernetb a Institute of Transport Research, German Aerospace Centre, Rutherfordstraße 2, 12489 Berlin, Germany b Kontextplan AG, Biberiststrasse 24, 4500 Solothurn, Switzerland Abstract The MetroCable in Medellín, the second largest city in Colombia, is perhaps one of the most prominent recent expansions of public transport infrastructure in urban Latin America. This article explores the question how and in what ways the MetroCable affects accessibility of the residents in two municipalities - Santa Cruz and Popular - where it operates since 2004. The presentation combines an analysis of the influence of the MetroCable on accessibility in general with a specific inquiry on female residents and the role of security. The paper adopts a differentiated conceptualization and indicators of accessibility. The analysis draws on statistical quantitative data from the Origin-Destination surveys for Medellín of 2005 and 2011/2 and about 30 in-depth semi structured interviews with female residents conducted in 2012. The paper concludes with a discussion on the possible lessons for planning interventions for improving accessibility of residents in low-income neighborhoods and a discussion on methodological implications. © 20142014 The The Authors.

From the moment of its production to its use in our home, electricity goes through many circuits and its transmission requires many instruments, but there is one element in particular which defines its arrival into our family life: the electricity meter. Through the lens of the electricity meters we all have at home, the exhibition STORYTELLING METERS examines many curious episodes that help us understand the great journey of electricity. Come and find out the stories of these energy-filled episodes. maat Education and Public Programmes Coordination Joana Simões Henriques | Concept Fabrícia Valente EP. 1 EDISON CHEMICAL METER, 1882 In episode 1, we find the Edison Meter, from 1882. Did you know that this invention was of great importance in enabling energy to be sold to our homes? Since it was able to measure the amount of energy we used, there could now be a seller and a buyer of electricity. Draw your domestic meter and discuss as a family the differences with this one in the exhibition.
