The complex, a £28m joint venture of Aberdeen City Council, the University of Aberdeen and sportscotland, was designed by award winning architects, Reiach & Hall, to meet the diverse needs of the people of Aberdeen and the wider community. In addition to the customary sporting facilities included in the design, the complex also boasts an indoor 3G football pitch (the fi rst of its kind in the UK), an indoor sports hall featuring sprung timber fl ooring, a 135m, six-lane running straight... all in all, an indoor solution for any outdoor activity. Adhering to the Council’s ‘fi t for future’ initiative that aims to provide a comprehensive, high quality range of sporting facilities; Reiach & Hall specifi ed Armitage Venesta (AV) whose products they have found to be reliable. Demonstrating it’s fl exibility, AV’s cubicle range, Stadia, which is totally impervious to water, was used in all changing, shower and washroom areas. Choosing from an extensive colour palette, the architect co-ordinated the cubicle ranges on each level with the three colours within the facilities’ logo. AV’s pre-plumbed system, IPS Evolve, with factory fi tted sanitaryware, was also colour co- ordinated and used throughout to provide easy clean surfaces that promote hygiene and allow easy access for ongoing maintenance.

  • Podolak Multifunctional Riverscapes
    Multifunctional Riverscapes: Stream restoration, Capability Brown’s water features, and artificial whitewater By Kristen Nicole Podolak A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor G. Mathias Kondolf, Chair Professor Louise Mozingo Professor Vincent H. Resh Spring 2012 i Abstract Multifunctional Riverscapes by Kristen Nicole Podolak Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor G. Mathias Kondolf, Chair Society is investing in river restoration and urban river revitalization as a solution for sustainable development. Many of these river projects adopt a multifunctional planning and design approach that strives to meld ecological, aesthetic, and recreational functions. However our understanding of how to accomplish multifunctionality and how the different functions work together is incomplete. Numerous ecologically justified river restoration projects may actually be driven by aesthetic and recreational preferences that are largely unexamined. At the same time river projects originally designed for aesthetics or recreation are now attempting to integrate habitat and environmental considerations to make the rivers more sustainable. Through in-depth study of a variety of constructed river landscapes - including dense historical river bend designs, artificial whitewater, and urban stream restoration this dissertation analyzes how aesthetic, ecological, and recreational functions intersect and potentially conflict. To explore how aesthetic and biophysical processes work together in riverscapes, I explored the relationship between one ideal of beauty, an s-curve illustrated by William Hogarth in the 18th century and two sets of river designs: 18th century river designs in England and late 20th century river restoration designs in North America.

    Editorial Dreams Do Come True ,• It wasn't so long ago that President Kennedy asked the nation to stop asking what their country could do for them, but rather what they could do for their country. Now, it is appropriate to ask members of the Outrigger Canoe Club the same thing. When was the last time you really gave something of yourself to this Club? We don't mean when was the last time you came to dinner here, or the last time you bought something from the Beach Shop, although we encourage all of you to support the Club in this manner. What we want is your involvement in the activities at Outrigger, as a participant or spectator. We need both. This month, you have the opportunity to participate in a project that is extremely important to many of us-the Outrigger Foundation Auction. The Outrigger Foundation, as you are probably aware, was established to help deserving athletes within the Club and throughout the community attain their goals. There are no strings attached. They don't have to be a certain age, race, or a member of Outrigger to get assistance. Much of the support for young athletes in Hawaii today comes from labor unions or from corporations who support the athletic endeavors of their employees and their families. But there are many who have no angels waiting to help them. Our goal is to help these athletes who have trained long and hard and deserve their day in the sun to triumph or not based on their skills and not their pocketbooks.

This book was made possible by a hard working volunteer committee chaired by Moana Tregaskis and authored by Barbara Del Piano. Without their, and the committee’s diligence and commitment, this publication would not be such a treasure of photos, memories and captured history of our Club. On behalf of the membership, I thank them for their work. One has to wonder what our founder, Alexander Hume Ford would think if he could The Centennial Book Committee.
