Book Synopsis Origins as a Paradigm in the Sciences and in the Humanities by : Paola Spinozzi
Download or read book Origins as a Paradigm in the Sciences and in the Humanities written by Paola Spinozzi and published by V&R unipress GmbH. This book was released on 2010 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, the assumption that origins can be defined as a hermeneutic paradigm in the humanities and in the sciences is explored in relation to specific theoretical frameworks and research methodologies. By investigating how origins have been conceptualised in different domains of knowledge - biology, primatology, psychology, linguistics, history of science, critical theory, classical studies, philology, literary criticism, strategy and accounting - a double movement has been generated: towards the very core of each discipline and beyond disciplinary boundaries. Which are the most productive theories and methods each discipline has elaborated for investigating origins? Can they become trans-disciplinary? Which synergic enquiries can be devised in order to expand and share knowledge? Explaining how and why various disciplines have responded to such questions involves delving into their histories and cultural ideologies in order to verify whether the topic of origins can function as a powerful connector between scientific and humanistic territories.
Book Synopsis Design for a Vulnerable Planet by : Frederick Steiner
Download or read book Design for a Vulnerable Planet written by Frederick Steiner and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We inhabit a vulnerable planet. The devastation caused by natural disasters such as the southern Asian tsunami, Hurricanes Katrina and Ike, and the earthquakes in China's Sichuan province, Haiti, and Chile—as well as the ongoing depletion and degradation of the world's natural resources caused by a burgeoning human population—have made it clear that "business as usual" is no longer sustainable. We need to find ways to improve how we live on this planet while minimizing our impact on it. Design for a Vulnerable Planet sounds a call for designers and planners to go beyond traditional concepts of sustainability toward innovative new design that fosters regeneration and resilience. Drawing on his own and others' experiences across three continents, Frederick Steiner advocates design practice grounded in ecology and democracy and informed by critical regionalism and reflection. He begins by establishing the foundation for a more ecological approach to planning and design, adopting a broad view of ecology as encompassing human and natural, urban and wild environments. Steiner explores precedents for human ecological design provided by architect Paul Cret, landscape architect Ian McHarg, and developer George Mitchell while discussing their planning for the University of Texas campus, the Lake Austin watershed, and The Woodlands. Steiner then focuses on emerging Texas urbanism and extends his discussion to broader considerations beyond the Lone Star State, including regionalism, urbanism, and landscape in China and Italy. He also examines the lessons to be learned from human and natural disasters such as 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and the BP oil spill. Finally, Steiner offers a blueprint for designing with nature to help heal the planet's vulnerabilities.
Book Synopsis Conceptualist Landscapes by : Paul Cooper
Download or read book Conceptualist Landscapes written by Paul Cooper and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-07 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conceptual gardens depend on inspiration which is the result of an exhaustive intellectual process. The starting point is an IDEA or stimulus that pushes the design along, rather than observing more conventional styles - whether classical of modernist - into which idea or relationships are fitted. Horticultural considerations, architectural or aesthetic doctrines and practically-based problem-solving are either abandoned or regarded as a means to an end, rather than the end in itself. Idea-driven design, therefore, cannot be taught by a 'rule-of-thumb' methodology. So, the way to design a conceptualist garden is not the theme of this book; nor does it contain 'of-the-peg' solutions for garden and landscape designers. Rather it encourages student and professional designers to think further towards their designed solutions.

Book Synopsis Plants and Architecture by : Lloyd Godman

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This ebook has been specifically designed as an epublication and is optimized for viewing on Thorium Reader. Thorium Reader is the free EPUB reader of choice for Windows 10 and 11, MacOS and Linux.https://www.edrlab.org/software/thorium-reader/ Greening the built environment by integrating plants into architecture has seen vertical and roof gardens flourish in recent decades, and they continue to capture the attention of architects, designers, city planners, and the general public as the threat of climate change and biodiversity loss looms ever larger. But one question remains: how sustainable are each of these various systems? And when all factors are considered, are these gardens really contributing to capturing CO2, and serving as a sustainable outcome for our urban environments, or are the installation of these gardens a subversive form of greenwashing? And ultimately, can plants ever be integrated into architecture in a fully sustainable manner? Plants and Architecture offers critical and insightful comparisons of hundreds of vertical and roof gardens around the world that use various Xeric or selective systems, as well as Hydric or adaptive systems. Plants and Architecture combines over a decade of experimental research and observations of (insert number of projects that are discussed in the eBook), each of which are illustrated with detailed photographs. This eBook utilises real world examples to discuss the potential issues that can arise from the integration of plants into architecture, including the uses of fertiliser, water usage and migration, plant failure, pathogens, metal corrosion, weight considerations, ongoing maintenance costs, fire risk, the use of plastics and the limitations of recycling. Plants and Architecture shows examples from Australia, France, Germany, Vietnam, Peru, Cambodia, Singapore, Philippines, and presents iconic projects like One Central Park Sydney, Bosco Verticale Milan, Musée du Quai Branly Paris, and CH2 Building Melbourne. With 789 photographs and 89 diagrams, 65 projects are presented. Plants and Architecture explores the history of plants and architecture and offers insights as to how plants find their own habitat within the built environment without human intervention, and how this existing method and other techniques can be utilised as a template for sustainable urban gardens.
Download or read book Lemur Biology written by Ian Tattersall and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume of studies on prosimian primates has, until recently, tended to lag well behind that of studies on the higher primates. This is so despite the fact that the considerable intrinsic interest of the living prosimians and the signifi cance of their stuQ,y for our understanding of the earlier stages of primate evolution have long been acknowledged by zoologists, paleontologists, and anthropologists alike. Among the prosimians, the Malagasy lemurs are of profound interest not only because they include the only extant diurnal forms, but also because it is only on Madagascar that the absence of competition with higher primates has allowed a surviving prosimian fauna to radiate, es sentially unrestricted, into a broad spectrum of ecological zones. In contrast, the few extant prosimians of Africa and Asia occupy a relatively narrow range of "refuge" niches; although of considerable interest in themselves, they do not show the richness and variety of adaptation which make the Malagasy prosimian fauna such a fascinating object of study. Over the past few years, however, there has been a considerable resur gence of interest in the prosimians in general, and in the lemurs in particular. The range of studies resulting from this rekindling of interest is wide, compre hending the systematics, evolution, anatomy, behavior, and ecology of these forms. This volume constitutes a progress report on our knowledge of the le murs.

Book Synopsis On Guerrilla Gardening by : Richard Reynolds
Download or read book On Guerrilla Gardening written by Richard Reynolds and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-07-31 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Guerrilla Gardening is an activist's call to arms to all citizens - green-fingered, green-thinking or curious - to join the revolution of guerrilla gardening: transforming public space into oases of colour and life. The enemy: neglect, apathy and the disintegration of community spirit. The arsenal: daring, a packet of seeds and a passionate commitment to social change. When Richard Reynolds first embarked on guerrilla gardening, growing flowers by moonlight outside his tower block, he had no idea it was part of a growing global movement committed to cultivating the potential in the land regardless of all obstacles. Charting the battles fought across thirty different countries and the revolutionary history of this subculture, On Guerrilla Gardening is an inspirational take on gardening in the 21st century.
