Book excerpt: What Is Arcology Arcology is a complete urban vision that combines architecture and ecology. In nature, organisms evolve in complexity and become a more compact system as they evolve. A city should evolve in the same way, as if it were a living system. Urban civilization's many challenges — population expansion, pollution, energy and natural resource depletion, food shortages, and quality of life – can be addressed positively by combining architecture and ecology as one integrated process. In order to support the diverse activities that preserve human culture and environmental balance, Arcology acknowledges the need for a fundamental redesign of the spreading urban landscape into dense, integrated, three-dimensional cities. How You Will Benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Arcology Chapter 2: Autonomous Building Chapter 3: Bionic Architecture Chapter 4: Dubai City Tower Chapter 5: Earthship Chapter 6: Megastructure Chapter 7: Shimizu Mega City Pyramid Chapter 8: Underground City Chapter 9: Urban Ecology Chapter 10: Vertical Farming (II) Answering the public top questions about arcology. (III) Real world examples for the usage of arcology in many fields. (IV) 17 appendices to explain, briefly, 266 emerging technology in each industry to have 360-degree full understanding of arcology' technologies. Who This Book Is For Professionals, undergraduate and graduate students, enthusiasts, hobbyists, and those who want to go beyond basic knowledge or information for any kind of arcology.

Book excerpt: This book is an informative and transformational journey. Through it you can learn the ways of a new science called Neoarcology. In 1800, only 3% of the world's population lived in cities, in 1950, there were 83 cities with populations exceeding ONE MILLION, and by 2007, this number had risen to 468. If the trend continues, today's urban population of 3.2 BILLION will rise to nearly 5 BILLION by 2030, when three out of five people will live in cities. By then, over 2 BILLION people in the world will be living in slums with no access to the commerce of life, and Asia alone will have at least 10 megacities with populations over 25 MILLION. Lagos, Nigeria has grown from 300,000 in 1950 to an estimated 25 MILLION residents by 2015. How do we keep this Urban Devastation from depleting our planet of it's natural resources? How do we slow the razing of thriving ecosystems and stop the cold, soulless, megalopolis of the future? This is what the Science of NEOARCOLOGY seeks to do. It combines Three proven scientific disciplines to provide for this inexorable expansion of the human machine, while curtailing our destructive footprint on the world around us, and the resources our children will need to survive. Join the journey of NEOARCOLOGY and learn how each of us can truly live free. With this powerful combination of Permaculture, Aquaponics, and Arcology, We may find the key to saving our civilization, and the natural world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The groundbreaking novella that gave rise to science fiction’s original space hero, Buck Rogers. In 1927, World War I veteran Anthony Rogers is working for the American Radioactive Gas Corporation investigating strange phenomena in an abandoned coal mine when suddenly there’s a cave-in. Trapped in the mine and surrounded by radioactive gas, Rogers falls into a state of suspended animation . . . for nearly five hundred years. Waking in the year 2419, he first saves the beautiful Wilma Deering from attack and then discovers what has befallen his country: The United States has descended into chaos after Asian powers conquered the world with advanced weaponry centuries before. All that’s left are ragtag gangs battling for survival against their brutal overlords. But when Rogers shows them how to band together and fight for more than mere survival, he sparks a revolution that will decide the fate of the future world. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How new conceptions of human–environment interaction became central to design theories and practices in the 1970s At the end of the 1960s, new models of responsiveness between humans and their environments had a profound impact on theories and practices in architecture, design, art, technology, media, and the sciences. The resulting initiatives—design philosophies, art installations, architectural projects, exhibitions, publications, and symposia—sought to bring together insights from biology, systems theory, psychology, and anthropology with modernist legacies of total design. In The Responsive Environment, Larry D. Busbea takes up this concept of environment as an object and method of design at the height of its aesthetic, technical, and discursive elaboration. Exploring emerging paradigms of environmental perception, patterning, and control as developed by Gregory Bateson, Edward T. Hall, Wolf Hilbertz, György Kepes, Marshall McLuhan, Nicholas Negroponte, Paolo Soleri, and others, he shows how living space itself was reimagined as a domain capable of modification through input from its newly sensitized inhabitants. The Responsive Environment intercuts the development of new ideas about environmental awareness with case studies of specific architecture and design projects for responsive environments. Throughout, Busbea connects these theories and practices to the contemporary obsession with “smart” things: responsive technologies, intelligent environments, biomimetic materials, and digital atmospherics.

Download or read book Vertical Farming written by Fouad Sabry and published by One Billion Knowledgeable. This book was released on 2021-11-06 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Is Vertical Farming By 2050, it’s estimated that there will be two billion more human beings than there are today. To feed that many people, we’ll need a landmass the size of South America to account for the food production. Unfortunately for everyone, they don’t make new continents anymore, and if the lack of land isn’t enough to worry about, year by year, the planet is losing arable land due to the changing climate, intensifying weather conditions, air quality, and more. Vertical farming is the practice of growing crops in vertically stacked layers. It often incorporates controlled-environment agriculture, which aims to optimize plant growth, and soilless farming techniques such as hydroponics, aquaponics, and aero ponics. Some common choices of structures to house vertical farming systems include buildings, shipping containers, tunnels, and abandoned mine shafts. The main advantage of utilizing vertical farming technologies is the increased crop yield that comes with a smaller unit area of land requirement. The increased ability to cultivate a larger variety of crops at once because crops do not share the same plots of land while growing is another sought-after advantage. Additionally, crops are resistant to weather disruptions because of their placement indoors, meaning fewer crops lost to extreme or unexpected weather occurrences. Because of its limited land usage, vertical farming is less disruptive to the native plants and animals, leading to further conservation of the local flora and fauna.
