Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An emerging building type comprised only of big-box retail, the Vertical Power Center, is unlike the suburban mall and other traditional shopping center types. Lacking the connective public tissue of the latter, the Vertical Power Center is essentially a laminated organization of individual retailers who desire complete autonomy among their operations ... The Vertical Power Center is more infrastructural than architectural as independent buildings are stacked, each with their own retail, service and parking spaces and operational philosophies."--T.p. verso.

Book Synopsis The Vertical City by : K. Al-Kodmany
Download or read book The Vertical City written by K. Al-Kodmany and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2018-06-25 with total page 753 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each century has its own unique approach toward addressing the problem of high density and the 21st century is no exception. As cities try to cope with rapid population growth - adding 2.5 billion dwellers by 2050 - and grapple with destructive sprawl, politicians, planners and architects have become increasingly interested in the vertical city paradigm. Unfortunately, cities all over the world are grossly unprepared for integrating tall buildings, as these buildings may aggravate multidimensional sustainability challenges resulting in a “vertical sprawl” that could have worse consequences than “horizontal” sprawl. By using extensive data and numerous illustrations this book provides a comprehensive guide to the successful and sustainable integration of tall buildings into cities. A new crop of skyscrapers that employ passive design strategies, green technologies, energy-saving systems and innovative renewable energy offers significant architectural improvements. At the urban scale, the book argues that planners must integrate tall buildings with efficient mass transit, walkable neighbourhoods, cycling networks, vibrant mixed-use activities, iconic transit stations, attractive plazas, well-landscaped streets, spacious parks and engaging public art. Particularly, it proposes the Tall Building and Transit Oriented Development (TB-TOD) model as one of the sustainable options for large cities going forward. Building on the work of leaders in the fields of ecological and sustainable design, this book will open readers’ eyes to a wider range of possibilities for utilizing green, resilient, smart, and sustainable features in architecture and urban planning projects. The 20 chapters offer comprehensive reading for all those interested in the planning, design, and construction of sustainable cities.
Download or read book Geometry written by Michel Serres and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-23 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this third installment of his classic 'Foundations' trilogy, Michel Serres takes on the history of geometry and mathematics. Even more broadly, Geometry is the beginnings of things and also how these beginnings have shaped how we continue to think philosophically and critically. Serres rejects a traditional history of mathematics which unfolds in a linear manner, and argues for the need to delve into the past of maths and identify a series of ruptures which can help shed light on how this discipline has developed and how, in turn, the way we think has been shaped and formed. This meticulous and lyrical translation marks the first ever English translation of this key text in the history of ideas.
Download or read book Eco-Towers written by K. Al-Kodmany and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2015-05-05 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eco-Towers introduces readers to groundbreaking designs, most progressive projects, and innovative ways of thinking about a new generation of green skyscrapers that could provide solutions to crises the world faces today including climate change, depleting resources, deteriorating ecology, population increase, decreasing food supply, urban heat island effect, pollution, deforestation, and more. The book suggests that the eco-tower culminates the cultural and technological evolutions of the 21st century by building and improving on the experiences of earlier designs of skyscrapers and philosophies particularly green, sustainable, and ecological. It argues that the true green skyscraper is the one that engages successfully with its larger urban context by establishing symbiotic relationships with the social, economic, and environmental aspects. Since tall buildings are becoming larger and taller, serving greater number of people, and exerting higher demand on the environment and existing infrastructure, any improvements in their design and construction will significantly enhance urban conditions. The book elucidates how green skyscrapers better serve tenants, mitigate environmental impacts, and improve integration with the city infrastructure. It explains how skyscrapers’ long life cycle offers the greatest justifications for recycling precious resources, and makes it a worthwhile to employ green features in constructing new skyscrapers and retrofitting existing ones. Subsequently, the book explores new designs that are employing cutting-edge green technologies at a grand scale including water-saving technologies, solar panels, helical wind turbines, sunlight-sensing LED lights, rainwater catchment systems, graywater and blackwater recycling systems, seawater-powered air conditioning, and the like. In the future, new building materials and smart technologies will continue to offer innovative design approaches to sustainable tall buildings with new aesthetics, referred to as “eco-iconic” skyscrapers.
Book Synopsis Contemporary Drawing by : Margaret Davidson
Download or read book Contemporary Drawing written by Margaret Davidson and published by Watson-Guptill. This book was released on 2011-04-19 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing is experiencing an unparalleled surge in the art world. Passé notions that once defined drawing as being a preparatory stage for painting or sculpture have long since been cast aside. Drawing is now fully recognized as its own art form—in the biennials, art fairs, museum exhibitions, and beyond. Drawing has come of age. Contemporary artists are increasingly discovering that drawing is something unique and different from painting. It is an intense, sensitive, compelling, personal, and utterly direct art form, one with its own concepts, characteristics, and techniques. In addition, contemporary drawing is not governed by any particular imagery, but rather encompasses a variety of approaches, including realist, abstract, modernist, and post-modernist. Contemporary Drawing delves into the essential and far-reaching concepts of this medium, exploring surface, mark, space, composition, scale, materials, and intentionality in turn. Key techniques, such as using nature to induce marks and working with a checklist to determine a drawing’s problems, are introduced throughout. Plus, an in-depth chapter examines a number of artists, such as William Kentridge and Gego, who are breaking traditional boundaries that separate one artistic discipline from another. Lushly illustrated by a wide range of highly accomplished contemporary artists, Contemporary Drawing offers a broad perspective on this expansive and energized field of art.

Book Synopsis The origin of the cosmos by : Antonio Pinto Renedo
Download or read book The origin of the cosmos written by Antonio Pinto Renedo and published by XinXii. This book was released on 2022-01-04 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First of all, I would like to emphasize that the objective of this book is not to study the universe in a classical or materialistic way, but rather to explain all its most important aspects, but analyzed from a philosophical or metaphysical point of view. It is true that it represents a bold description of the cosmos, but this is better than simply denying all soul in matter as materialistic scientists do when they claim that the origin of all material phenomenon without consciousness is another material phenomenon without consciousness of itself. It is surprising that there are so many universities and physics specialists at present, yet very few wonder what the real reason for their behavior is, or if they are aware of what they are doing. But materialistic scientists who deny the soul to people or matter always evasively answer that question, saying that if matter and its particles react to the stimuli they receive it is because of other, smaller particles, but they always try to avoid it. The true answer, because if matter reacts and acts in this way, it is simply because it is alive, even if it is in a different way from what biologists call life, because it is life, even if it is mineral and not organic. I would also like this book to serve to find a common point of understanding between the most spiritualistic ancient philosophy and the modern materialistic mentality that helps to understand the part of reason that each one has, because it is so unscientific to deny the existence of the spirit or the life of matter as insisting on saying that ancient legends and superstitions are absolute truths. The problem of contemporary society is that it lacks moral leadership, which causes social anarchy, this is due to the fact that religious organizations refuse to adapt to the times for fear that these changes will make them lose their power, because if they accept changes in their fundamental ideas that would show that they are not infallible as they would have us believe. This is arrogant behavior, because they do not want to accept that many of the things in the world are outside of what they believe or understand, simply because when their religions were founded they were not yet known. This attitude causes a separation between science and religion that can only be redirected through moral renewal. In reality, spiritualism begins where materialism ends, therefore, scientists will never be able to understand the intimate reality of matter if they do not accept to analyze it from a spiritual point of view. It must be borne in mind that a society that only relies on the material aspects of life but despises the spiritual ones is like a farmer who tries to make plants grow only with soil but without water, it is evident that in this way it will fail. With this book, I have tried to answer in a single book the main philosophical questions that throughout history have confused humanity, I have also tried to use clear and direct language, so that readers do not have too many difficulties in understand its content. I hope you find it useful.

Download or read book Power & Society Ils 50 written by Harold D. Lasswell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1998. The present book is a by-product of the Research Project on Wartime Communication which was organized within the framework of the Library of Congress shortly before World War II. As a guide to research and analysis, it was necessary to review the then current state of knowledge of political communication, particularly of war communication. The manuscript was finished by the end of 1945, and then within the next five years there have been many changes, both in the state of research in the field and in thinking about these problems. But the task of developing a framework for inquiry contemporaneous with the state of research is an unending one.
