Purpose Spurred by the internationalization trend, many architectural professional bodies across the globe relaxed their norms related to the acceptance of promotion and marketing within the services. However, in India, the architectural services codes have not reflected any changes. This paper aims to focus on Indian architectural practice and attempts to investigate about the causes of low marketing activities within the practice in the country. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on a primary research process of data collection through survey administration. Survey is conducted using a close-ended structured questionnaire based on Likert scale technique. The data are analysed using both descriptive and empirical research techniques mainly, factor analysis. The sample is defined using random clustering sampling technique, from the list of architects registered with the professional regulating body of India, i.e. the Council of Architecture. Findings The findings of the study are suggestive that architectural firms in India are instinctively practising marketing-related activities, to position their firm to attract clients without formally adopting them. There appears to be a silent routinization of the marketing tasks in the firms. The findings are suggestive of academic and professional ignorance as one of the barriers towards marketing. The findings advocate that recognizing the growing competitive nature of architectural practices in the country, the regulatory and institutional body, Council of Architecture, may retrospect their code of conduct. The results of the present study have a great implication on the architectural education in the country. The findings advocate that the architectural curriculum in the country should be broadened to include the basic knowledge about marketing. Research limitations/implications The present study opens a newer paradigm in the practice of architectural services. It highlights the growing linkages between the field of marketing and architecture. It opens a new area of research where linkages between interdisciplinary fields is an important aspect that needs researchers attention, to have a good model of survival for professional firms in a highly competitive environment. Practical implications The research findings have great implications for the architectural firms that seek to operate in the globally volatile environment. The increasing competitive nature of the architectural services in India demands a dynamic decision and procurement methods that can strategically position firms in the market. Marketing strategies have a significant role in positioning firms and increasing their client base. Originality/value The subject of architectural practice and its operation is an under-researched area. The present study makes a strong point for formal involvement of marketing strategies in the promotion of architectural firms in India. The paper attempts to bridge this gap, and the strength of the paper lies in the empirical nature of its investigation.

Purpose – There has been little empirical study on employees’ perceptions of Human Resource Management (HRM) practices in the architectural industry, where the employee architects have been described as the assets of the firm, and how these influence their job satisfaction. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors that define the perceptions of these employees of the HRM practices and how these perceptions influence their job satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach – A questionnaire survey of employee architects in Lagos, Nigeria was carried out. The respondents were asked to rate their perceptions of HRM practices in their firms. Data were analyzed using mean ranking, principal component analysis, and regression analyses. Findings – The results show that contrary to popular beliefs, most of the respondents were satisfied with their jobs overall, although they were least satisfied with their pay. The factors that predict the satisfaction of the employee architects with various aspects of the job were identified. Research limitations/implications – A major limitation to this study lies in the fact that samples were only taken from employees of privately owned architectural firms in Lagos, Nigeria. Practical implications – The results indicate areas of HRM practices that principals of architecture firms may explore to enhance employee architects’ satisfaction. Originality/value – The study adds to the body of knowledge on employee perception of HRM practices and satisfaction by providing evidence from the architectural industry. This study further contributes to literature satisfaction as a multi-scale item in relation with the employee architects’ demographic and HRM practices.

Full textAbstract:
The product platform development process becomes critical and of general interest when different brand name products are developed from inter-firm developed product platforms. The inter-firm platform adds perspectives not considered in previous research. In this article areas related to the inter-firm product platform integration process are described. The study is a longitudinal, deep, explorative study aimed at identifying managerial challenges to inter-firm platform development and how they can be dealt with. Analysis shows that the factory sequence is a critical factor when developing inter-firm platform architecture. Also, making architectural concessions without jeopardising brand uniqueness places new demands on managers involved in the development processes. Further, we found a reciprocal interdependence between technological and managerial factors that created a need for innovative organisational and managerial solutions. Finally, reciprocal interdependences add complementary theoretical knowledge on how to better control and understand areas that hamper inter-firm product development projects from attaining cost-effective solutions and economies of scale.

Full textAbstract:
The Balaia Hotel (1964–1968) near Albufeira, in the Algarve, designed by Francisco Conceição Silva and Maurício de Vasconcellos, is one of the first and most iconic seaside holiday megastructures built in Portugal. In its territorial approach, physical dimension and range of amenities, it represents a new stage of development in seaside tourism accommodation facilities. A self-contained and self-sufficient structure that shapes its own landscape. Also, the “turn key” commission implied the transition from the small-scale architecture office to the multidisciplinary design and planning firm, revolutionizing the Portuguese architectural culture and professional practice. This essay addresses the impact of the Balaia Hotel on the traditional structures of architecture production and, consequently, on the disciplinary debate of the 1960s in Portugal.

Full textAbstract:
Humanitarian innovation has come under considerable fire in recent years for its uncritical technophilia, its links with the private sector and its tendency to fetishise objects rather than focusing on politics and process. There are many examples of these issues in the shelter sector, yet this article argues that a clear distinction should be made between innovation and architecture. By comparing the Ikea-funded Better Shelter with the series of architectural interventions in Vienna, collectively known as Places for People, this paper argues that architecture can productively engage with humanitarianism not by constructing shelters but by designing at a smaller scale in a way that does not involve any building at all.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to help firms to create competitiveness by developing marketing capabilities. It analyzes how the component and architectural competences affect and enhance market orientation and firm performance. Design/methodology/approach – Built on the theories of organizational capability, knowledge creation, and market orientation, this research develops the contents of marketing capabilities, including component and architectural competences that contribute to marketing capability by responding to external changes, and analyzes their influence on market orientation and firm performance. Findings – The study reveals the following effective marketing capabilities which benefit to marketing performance. First, hiring and retaining employees with higher professional, local, and specific knowledge. Second, firms with higher tacit knowledge enhance market orientation. Third, arranging employees into teamwork to implement marketing tasks. Fourth, assigning employees into small-scale experiments on creative proposals. Fifth, standardizing procedures of generation, dissemination, and response of marketing intelligence. Sixth, providing written market information and training programs to non-marketing staff. Seventh, appropriately delegating to staff. Eighth, establishing apprenticeship among the staff to deliver experiential know-how. Research limitations/implications – From a dynamic capability perspective, this research construct the two kinds of marketing competences and examine their effect on market orientation and firm performance. For further understanding the complementary effects of marketing capabilities, market orientation, and synergistic performance, a larger sample data (e.g. product, market share, sales, characteristics of staff, firm, and knowledge, etc.) and objective evaluation are encouraged. Otherwise, from the viewpoint of agency theory, the incentive system should also be discussed. Practical implications – This research has potentially significant implications for knowledge management and marketing management fields as well as managerial practice. The results suggest the importance of marketing capability for market orientation and firm performance. Originality/value – Marketing resources and marketing capabilities are significant drivers of firm performance, and their impact is greater when they are complementary to each other. This study takes the perspectives of organizational capabilities and market orientation to find out the factors which contribute to marketing capability and performance. This study provides practitioners with a framework for analyzing marketing capabilities as an object of improving firm performance by creating market orientation. Furthermore, this research empirically introduced strategic specific competence (tacit knowledge and autonomy) into the model and tests their effect of market orientation and firm performance.

This study investigated effects of cost accounting skills on performance of small and medium scale architectural firms in Imo state. Specifically, the study appraises cost accounting skills applied in contract costing and also relationship between efficient financial record keeping and financial performance of architectural firms in Imo state, two hypotheses were developed From the objectives. The population consists of owners of 50 architectural firms in Owerri metropolis, which also served as sample. Primary data was used with questionnaire structured in four point likert scale of very great extent (VGE), great extent (GE), very little extent (VLE) and little extent (LE). Cronbach Alpha reliability test was used to determine internal consistency of respondents responses and reliability co-efficient of 0.796. Data were analysed with ordinary least square regression model with SPSS stastitical tool version 20. Findings reveal that SMEs architectural firms … null hypothesis one was accepted with conclusion that SME architectural firms do not practice cost accounting skill in contract costing while null hypothesis two was rejected with conclusion that significant relationship exist between efficient financial record keeping and financial performance of the firms. The research therefore recommend that; architectural firms should apply cost accounting skills in their contract costing and also keep efficient financial record to enhance their performance.

Full textAbstract:
PurposeThis paper aimed to identify critical success factors (CSFs) of building information modeling (BIM) implementation among architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) firms in Malaysia using quantitative statistical methods.Design/methodology/approachA questionnaire survey was conducted on the population of all AEC firms in Malaysia to rank the relative importance of 15 success factors (SFs) for BIM implementation in the firm on a 5-point Likert scale. The sampling frame consisted of all members registered with the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) from which 184 responses were received. The distinction between SFs and CSFs was achieved by a normalized mean cutoff value. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to determine the relative groupings of the CSFs and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used to examine the underlying relationships between the CSF groupings.FindingsResults of this study validated 11 previously identified CSFs for successful implementation of BIM among Malaysian AEC firms. Non-technical factors such as management, leadership and coordination were found to have higher relevance compared to technical factors such as software and hardware. Ranking analysis of the CSFs found internal coordination factors to have more importance compared to external coordination factors. PCA revealed 4 principal components (PCs) from the 11 CSFs. Together, these four PCs explain 74.3% of the variance in the data. Also, six hypothesized relationships between these groupings were supported using PLS-SEM.Research limitations/implicationsThis study found an interaction between internal and external coordination factors for the implementation of BIM. Future research could explore the dynamics of both intra- and inter-firm coordination, which may create an environment suitable for BIM implementation.Practical implicationsThis study provides Malaysian AEC firms with a general strategy on how to approach the implementation of BIM within the firm. In addition, government initiatives should focus on increasing BIM competency of graduates entering the workforce. This can be achieved through the development of a national BIM curriculum. Apart from that, the implementation of BIM requires a radical shift in the traditional building delivery process, not just simply acquiring new software and hardware.Originality/valueThis study revealed that the interactions between different firms at the industry level can influence successful implementation of BIM at the firm level. CSFs for BIM implementation at the firm level have been extensively studied. However, few studies exist which explore the inter-firm collaborations at the industry level that facilitate successful BIM implementation.

Full textAbstract:
In the twentieth century a specific kind of beauty emerged from art: the increased value of the mundane. Contemporary art shows that common situations have an aesthetic significance. But architecture does not pay any attention to this scope. What is more, it tries to deny it. Nor the design process nor the architectural photography show the presence of mundane things. Fortunately, we have some works to go in depth into this day-to-day issue. Let’s analyze the photograph Morning Cleaning, Mies van der Rohe Foundation, Barcelona, (Jeff Wall, 1999), the intervention Phantom, Mies as Rendered Society (Andrés Jaque, 2012) and the film Koolhaas Houselife (Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine, 2008). By considering the visual and spatial value of these cases, we reconsider them as an experimental space. What if architecture starts looking at its surroundings?

AbstractFor the construction of the Overlook Hotel (The Shining, 1980) Stanley Kubrick recreates, at Elstree Studios in London, 1:1 scale replicas of different fragments of hotels, motels, and vacation resorts scattered throughout the United States. Through a meticulous work of observing photographs and making models, sets of the different areas that make up the hotel are built. Kubrick composes an architecture that emerges from a fragmentary, constructed and assembled body which, through the narrative possibilities offered by the Steadicam and montage, is transformed into a seemingly unitary filmic space. The hotel is rendered as a plausible architecture; however, it is full of paradoxes, external references, subtexts, and spatial impossibilities—which emerge with an attentive viewing of the film—through a persistent subversion of the logics of space. Using models, photographs, and interviews, and comparing them with the film, plans of the different areas of the Overlook Hotel are drawn up with the aim of reflecting on the intention of their possible assembly. They are also drawn with the aim of reflecting on the existing link between the narrative structure of the film, based on intertwining times and spaces, and the way in which the sets come together on screen. Through an analysis based on architectural expression, the article will study some of these spatial inconsistencies to speculate on a possible interpretation of the film in which architecture plays a central role from its conception, not only due to the importance of its sets during the production and filming stages, but also on an iconographic and narrative level.

Cities involve several systems that work together as a network of urban relationships. These systems are in balance, and they work as a whole that articulates urban life.
<p>
But what makes a city memorable and special are its events: those magical situations where the uniformity of the experience stops and something unique arise.
<p>
Those are the moments where our memory is deeply engraved by a particular situation that will come back in our dreams and imaginative processes as an agent image.
<p>
Four urban events â a space for film edition and writing, an urban stage, a footage archive and park, and a projection space- whose locations have been determined by a Cartesian game dictated by the Plan of Washington DC; and one common discipline, Film, will be the main focus of this research and a way of understanding the relations among Memory and its spaces, Architecture and Film in the City.<p>
Each event will respond to the particularities of its context by understanding first the sites and their relation with the city. These sites will be located in the four quadrants of Washington DC- NE, SE, SW and NW- and they will be consider as different communities that, by keeping their own idiosyncrasy, create one city.
<p>
The question of urban scale as well as the concept of detail as part of an architectural cosmology will be present throughout the process of the thesis by the alternation of micro and macro analysis of each stage of the research. The question of scale will be present as well when comparing the four projects with their differences in shape and size.

Characterization and monstrosity as architectural concepts will be incorporated into the project too, by understanding the role of Architecture in the city and what it wants to show or â monstrareâ to its inhabitants.<br>Master of Architecture

Thesis: S.M., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, School of Architecture and Planning, Program in Media Arts and Sciences, 2015.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (pages 67-70).<br>This thesis sets the stage for Fabrication Information Modeling (FIM); a design approach for enabling seamless design-to-production workflows that can derive complex designs fusing advanced digital design technologies associated with analysis, engineering and manufacturing. Present day digital fabrication platforms enable the design and construction of high-resolution and complex material distribution structures. However, virtual-to-physical workflows and their associated software environments are yet to incorporate such capabilities. As preliminary methods towards FIM I have developed four computational strategies for the design and digital construction of custom systems. These methods are presented in this thesis in the context of specific design challenges and include a biologically driven fiber construction algorithm; an anatomically driven shell-to-wearable translation protocol; an environmentally-driven swarm printing system; and a manufacturing-driven hierarchical fabrication platform. I discuss and analyze these four challenges in terms of their capabilities to integrate design across media, disciplines and scales through the concepts of multidimensionality, media-informed computation and trans-disciplinary data in advanced digital design workflows. With FIM I aim to contribute to the field of digital design and fabrication by enabling feedback workflows where materials are designed rather than selected; where the question of how information is passed across spatiotemporal scales is central to design generation itself; where modeling at each level of resolution and representation is based on various methods and carried out by various media or agents within a single environment; and finally, where virtual and physical considerations coexist as equals.<br>by Jorge Duro Royo.<br>S.M.

Architecture and Film - A Symbiotic Relationship. This project is not intented to be revolutionary, but rather exploratory. To delve deeper into ones interests and better understand them. My architectural studies are five years young, and my passion for film has been with me for as long as I can remember. That is why I see my diplomaproject as an opportunity to bring both worlds that fuel my creativity together. I do not see myself as an architect without being a filmmaker and I cannot create worlds as a filmmaker without exploring architecture. ---------------------------------------------- An anomaly was detected in the northern region of Europe. Satellite images show an island not included in any of our maps on which monolithic structures are resting. The clean geometry and the elusive dimensions show monuments difficult to specify in time. These monuments seem ancient, but they are not primitive. They show advanced knowledge of our celestial bodies from however long ago. These are The Monuments of The Ones Before. Once, before our time. To you the reader: We have made a startling discovery… This is the birthplace of astronomy.

Des réglementations strictes obligent les constructeurs à investir massivement dans la production de véhicules électriques. L'électrification est une innovation systémique et sa massification devrait perturber la conception dominante des véhicules. "Cette perturbation pourrait-elle déstabiliser durablement l'architecture d’une industrie considérée comme très résiliente ?"Une étude empirique de la chaîne de valeur de la traction électrique, confirme, à ce jour, la résilience de cette industrie dont les constructeurs automobiles restent l'acteur central et que l'électrification seule ne suffit pas à déstabiliser. Mais les innovations technologiques, les nouveaux défis sociétaux, les nouveaux acteurs puissants de la mobilité influencent l'avenir de cette industrie. "Cette combinaison de facteurs internes et externes à l'industrie pourrait-elle favoriser une dynamique de rupture ?" En analysant 10 cas de services de mobilité innovants au niveau mondial, cette thèse identifie 3 types idéaux : "service de mobilité ajouté au produit", "robotaxi", "plate-forme ouverte de mobilité territorialisée". Si le premier est une extension naturelle de l'activité des constructeurs, les deux derniers ont le potentiel de déstabiliser cette industrie. Une comparaison, entre la Chine et l'Europe, de la gouvernance des réglementations environnementales, indique que la Chine est en situation d’imposer désormais ses normes dans le monde entier grâce à une capacité de planification alliant directivité, intrusion et agilité. Théoriquement, cette thèse confirme les théories stratégiques et l’utilisation du paradigme de la STT pour étudier les transitions dans cette industrie. Elle contribue aux domaines de la gestion de l'innovation et de la servitisation en proposant un espace de conception pour le développement des services de mobilité et confirme que le projet est un important vecteur d'apprentissage dans un écosystème naissant. Elle soutient l'hypothèse d'une avalanche de causalités convergentes conduisant à la déstabilisation de l'architecture historique de l'industrie automobile et que les modes de régulation entre ces différents facteurs vont façonner ces déstabilisations potentielles<br>Strict regulations force global players to invest heavily in the production of electric vehicles. Electrification is a systemic innovation whose massification should disrupt the vehicle dominant design. “Could this disruption durably destabilize the industrial architecture of a sector, considered as very resilient?”An empirical study on the electric traction value chain, confirms, to date, the resilience of this industry as carmakers remain the focal actor: electrification alone is not enough to destabilize this industry!But, technological innovations, new societal challenges, new powerful players in the mobility market influence the future of this industry.“Could this combination of factors internal and external to the industry facilitate a disruptive dynamic?”By analyzing 10 case studies of innovative mobility services worldwide, this thesis identifies 3 ideal types: “mobility service added to product”, “robotaxi”, “territorialized open mobility platform”. If the first one is a natural extension of The carmakers' business, the last two have the potential to destabilize the automotive industry.An empirical comparison, between China and Europe, of the governance of environmental regulations, states that China is now in capacity to impose its standards worldwide through a planning capacity combining directiveness, intrusiveness and agility.Theoretically, it confirms strategic theories and the interest of building upon the STT paradigm to shed light on transitions in this industry. It contributes to innovation management and servitization fields by proposing a design space for the development of mobility services and confirms that project is an important learning vector in a nascent ecosystem. This thesis supports the hypothesis of an avalanche of converging causalities leading to the destabilization of the historical architecture of the automotive industry. In accordance with the theory of transitions, the modes of regulation between these different factors will shape these potential destabilizations

Full textAbstract:
Formal education is primarily based upon learning about space through static two-dimensional representations, while landscape architecture responds to the ever-changing spatial and temporal conditions of the material world. The film medium, with its illusion of movement and three-dimensionality, offers an easily accessible antidote to this conundrum. Although cinematic settings are often constructed to promote a particular narrative rather than emulate physical reality, these filmic worlds trigger powerful imagery which overwhelms the lived experience of space. Through the analysis of three seminal films by director Alfred Hitchcock – Rear Window, North by Northwest and The Birds – this project represents an endeavour to deconstruct the haunting filmic atmospheres which transformed my perceptions of three familiar landscapes. Through the use of drawing and composite graphics, I have sought to understand this cinematic ostranenie – or defamiliarization – of the everyday and its underlying creative potential for the realm of landscape architecture.

Full textAbstract:
Hotel Modernity explores the impact of corporate space on the construction and texture of modern literature and film. It centres the hotel and corporate space as key sites of modern experience and culture. Examining architectural and financial records, hotel trade journals, travel journalism, advertisements and cinematic and literary representations, it charts the rise of hotel culture from 1870 to 1939. The book defines corporate space as the new urban, capital-intensive, large-scale spaces brought about by corporations during the nineteenth century, including department stores, railway stations and banking halls. Only in hotels, however, did the individual live within corporate space: sleeping in its beds and lounging in its parlours. The hotel structured intimate encounters with the impersonal and the anonymous, representing a radically new mode of experience. In chapters featuring readings of both canonical and relatively little-studied texts by Henry James, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Elizabeth Bowen, Arnold Bennett, and Henry Green, alongside films by F. W. Murnau, Segundo de Chomón, and Charlie Chaplin, Hotel Modernity considers the relationship between new kinds of spatial organisation and new forms of subjective and intersubjective life. Hotels provoked these writers and filmmakers to rethink the conventions and functions of fictional characters. This book charts the warping and decentring of the category of ‘character’ within the corporate, architectural, informatic and technological networks which come to define hotel space in this period.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the scaling and diffusion of green entrepreneurship between 1980 and the present. It explores how entrepreneurs and business leaders promoted the idea that business and sustainability were compatible. It then examines the rapid growth of organic foods, natural beauty, ecological architecture, and eco-tourism. Green firms sometimes grew to a large scale, such as the retailer Whole Foods Market in the United States. The chapter explores how greater mainstreaming of these businesses resulted in a new set of challenges arising from scaling. Organic food was now transported across large distances causing a negative impact on carbon emissions. More eco-tourism resulted in more air travel and bigger airports. In other industries scaling had a more positive impact. Towns were major polluters, so more ecological buildings had a positive impact.

I often advise my law firm clients that ‘you can’t change the wheel on a moving car’. I say this in response to the exasperated look that appears on leaders’ faces when they contemplate the scale of technological change they are soon likely to face. Daily, I meet senior lawyers who recognize that transformation is needed but cannot see how they might move seamlessly from their current business—successful, already over-stretched complexes of people and processes—to the new world. It would be fine if they could press a pause button for a couple of years and put in place a new business at their leisure. But they cannot imagine in what they frequently call ‘the real world’ how they can fundamentally change their business while keeping it running along or, to be honest, while squeezing every last drop out of the old economic model.

With the changing climate, fire-exclusion, and expansion of wildland-urban interfaces, the frequency and severity of wildfires are expected to increase, putting substantial stress on fire management and authorities to mitigate the risk of wildfires. Improved physical models in conjunction with advanced high-performance computing resources offer new opportunities for operational use in examining potential fire-spread scenarios and planning. This work presents an open-source, high-fidelity modelling framework for simulating large-scale wildfire scenarios, taking into consideration atmospheric/fire coupling, complex terrain, and heterogeneous fuel loading. The framework is implemented using the TensorFlow programming environment on tensor processing units (TPUs). TPUs are a dedicated high-performance computing architecture to accelerate machine-learning applications and high-performance scientific computing. This framework solves the Favre-filtered reacting Navier-Stokes equations and the unclosed terms describing turbulence/chemistry interaction and turbulence transport are modelled using large-eddy simulation (LES) closures. Wildfire dynamics is described by a one-step solid-fuel pyrolysis/combustion model that is coupled to atmospheric flow dynamics using a Boussinesq-type approximation. A second-order finite-difference discretization is employed in a variable-density, low-Mach number formulation to discretize the governing equations, and an immersed-boundary method is adapted to represent complex terrain. In conjunction with the coupled atmosphere/fire model and physical models for turbulence/atmosphere/fire interaction, the resulting simulation framework enables high-resolution simulations (with spatial resolution below 2m) of large-scale fires that cover up to ~100,000 acres. Following the summary of validation results against a prescribed fire experiment to assess the overall accuracy at well-controlled conditions, we employ this coupled atmosphere/fire modelling framework to simulate a large-scale wildfire scenario that is representative of the 2017 California Tubb’s fire. To this end, we extract the terrain of the North Bay region of Calistoga and Santa Rosa, spanning an area of 20×20 km2, and consider a North-Eastern wind. The simulation results illustrate the rapid fire-spread dynamics and the coupling of the fire with the terrain and atmosphere. With relevance to operational and research applications that include parametric studies to examine effects of wind, fuel-density, other environmental factors, and fire-management strategies, we discuss the scalability and further extensions of the physical fidelity towards enabling real-time applications on TPU-compute architectures.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 1 explores the topography of the urban battlefield, and provides an urban history of the Western Front. It describes how Arras, Reims, Nancy, Lens, and other towns were progressively transformed into battlefields in the period after August 1914. It describes the transformation of urban space by the First World War, through artillery bombardment, the fortification of these towns by the militaries, and the proliferation of military weaponry and defensive architecture. It discusses how civilians changed their routines to adapt to the urban battlefield, and argues that as much as possible civilians at the front aimed to maintain a semblance of normality. This was encouraged by local authorities, and represented as a form of heroic resistance in the face of the enemy. The chapter charts the physical impact of urban warfare near the front, and describes the extent of urban destruction during the period of the stable Western Front. It also charts the transformation of the civilian population of the front, through discussions of evacuation policies and the scale of civilian death and injury.

In Knowledge Innovation Through Intelligent Software Methodologies, Tools and Techniques. IOS Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.3233/faia200575.
Full textAbstract:
The present paper proposes an innovative system architecture for the safety management of passenger evacuation inside an Airport Terminal, in case of a big indoor fire. The basic idea, in addition to fire hazard pre-assessment, is that information from a fast-predictive simulation of the fire evolution, immediately after the fire starting, could help the airport safety management system in taking sudden decisions to manage very specific fire scenarios. The system is based on an advanced technological interconnection among a simulation model of Fire Safety Engineering, IoT safety and environmental sensors, specific Augmented Reality equipment, and a remote server, able to exchange data by Wi-Fi connections and to elaborate them on a software platform. The ultimate scope of this system is to equip rescuers and airport safety managers with added value AR tools, like AR smart-glasses or tablets, usable for supporting safety decisions and emergency interventions.

Full textAbstract:
Fire Dynamic Simulator (FDS), a fire simulation program, applies Message Passing Interface (MPI) and Open Multi Processing (OpenMP) libraries for large-scale simulation. FDS can be executed by dividing simulation problems in a computing cluster using MPI. The main point is to divide the entire domain to be interpreted into several sub-domains and allow each sub-domain to be calculated by an individual computer with an individual processor. When performing parallel computation, FDS first decomposes each sub-domain, then supports two-step parallelization in which multi-threading is applied within each sub-domain, and uses the OpenMP library to implement multi-threading. In this study, OpenACC, a parallelization technique capable of using heterogeneous hardware architectures, was partially applied to FDS. As an application problem, the calculation performance is evaluated through CSIRO Grassland Fires, a verification case of FDS. The hardware for evaluation was a personal computer consisting of dual Xeon 2678-V3 and GeForce GTX 1070. The FDS source code applies OpenACC using PGI Fortran as a compiler in Linux environments. In calculation performance, calculations using CPU and GPU together show 1.89 times faster performance than calculations using a single CPU. In case of using 1 GPU and 16 CPUs (MPP + OpenACC), the analysis result is 21 times faster. In this regard, analysis of grassland fire of WFDS was performed.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter analyses two travel narratives within the scope of literature and tourism studies, aiming to explore the motivations to undertake journeying and the experience of (literary) pilgrims. The first is the novel Flights, by Olga Tokarczuk (2007), and the second is “How the Mind Works,” by Patti Smith (2017). This chapter defines the umbrella concept of “tourist literature” and takes a cross-disciplinary perspective combining the hermeneutics process with findings from the literature review on tourism studies. The analysis of Flights reveals the touring identity and experience of a pilgrim and reflections about airports, travel guides, tourists, and their syndromes. The analysis of Patti Smith's short story uncovers the touring identity and experience of a literary pilgrim who is strongly motivated to undertake literary-inspired trips towards the authors' places.

Full textAbstract:
In response to the third thematic sub-stream of the 38th Annual SAHANZ Conference, this paper will discuss the role of architectural research in the architecture of Gummer and Ford, the Auckland-based practice, often described as one of the most prolific bureaus in interwar New Zealand. The paper is a fraction of a three-staged project, “Gummer and Ford,” developed by a team of researchers from the Unitec Institute of Technology in response to an event recognised as a milestone in the New Zealand architectural calendar – the 2023 centenary of the firm’s establishment. This paper explores the design principles of William Gummer, the principal designer of the firm. From 1914 to 1935, Gummer consistently published his view that the goal of the architect was to cater to humanity’s highest instincts. He was unwavering but vague on how this is achieved; through composition, unity, contrast, proportion and scale, appropriate use of materials is all needed to produce buildings of good character. But what did he really mean by this? A close reading of three books Gummer considered invaluable to architectural students – The Essentials of Composition as Applied to Art by John Vredenburgh Van Pelt, Architectural Composition by Nathaniel Cortlandt Curtis, and The Mistress Art by Reginald Bloomfield – offers a direct insight into the influences behind his thinking about architecture and his architectural production. Directly traceable to Gummer, the three titles include clear, precise instructions on both the functional and artistic nature of architectural design. Interestingly, this paper employs a method not dissimilar to Gummer’s design method. These books taken together, along with Gummer’s own writing, a study of renderings and construction drawings, and close observation of the buildings, an architectural analysis of Gummer’s work becomes possible – it is what Gummer himself referred to as Architectural Research. This historically focused study will bring a new perspective to understanding the value and contribution of traditional architects, not only in New Zealand but other English-speaking countries.

Full textAbstract:
In 1752, the year Benjamin Franklin is credited with the invention of the lightning rod, he also established the first American fire insurance company. The coincidence of these innovations prefigures the parallel development and interwoven relationships between invention, building insurance, and legislation that underlie the production of architecture today. Industrialization brought new threats to the city (e.g. electricity, speed, explosives) while also dramatically increasing the scale of historical perils (e.g. flood, fire, theft). In turn, these threats gave rise to a field of new products, accessory to conventional building. In their early forms, the automatic sprinkler, exterior fire escape, panic bar, emergency light, and theft alarm were, like Franklin’s lightning rod, ready for production and deployment on a large scale, without definitive spatial identity, and suitable for use in new or existing construction. Negotiating the thresholds between the developing infrastructures of the city and its private spaces (as insured and legally defined), these devices may be understood collectively as a crumple zone intended not to prevent architectural emergency but to absorb, limit, and contain its effects.

Full textAbstract:
The 21st century brings many new challenges to the product development (PD) community mainly due to a drastic increase in the scale and complexity of engineered systems. This requires the collaboration of various entities and resources within and outside firm boundaries. To address these new challenges, this paper proposes a novel framework for an enterprise-wide PD information management system. The proposed framework provides an integrative view of the various dependencies and information flows that co-exist in three main PD analysis domains (i.e., people, products, and processes) and analysis methods for the discovery of gaps or ‘misalignment’ between them. These gaps could help explain why some organizations are able to provide more competitive products within a given industry. Moreover, the framework suggests that the characteristics of how an organization acquire data, interpret information, and apply knowledge will impact the final architecture of the product. Finally, we demonstrate this framework by analyzing an open source software (OSS) project, which offers some insights and new directions into how the transfer of data, information, and knowledge impacts the final (source code) architecture and design.

Full textAbstract:
Resumen: Desde las páginas de L'Esprit Nouveau y al calor del cine, Elie Faure bautizará como "cineplástica" la consecución de imágenes al ritmo de la música, en un discurso paralelo al del método Dalcroze en la danza. Le Corbusier, Albert Jeanneret y Pierre Chenal propondrán dos experiencias fílmicas relacionadas con dicha denominación: "Batir" y "L'Architecture d'aujourd´hui", para las que se realizarán varias maquetas ex-profeso cuyas cualidades estaban pensadas para su visión en la pantalla. Esta especificidad se hará más compleja en el filme del modelo de la propuesta para el Palacio de los Soviets. Le Corbusier mostrará un proceso cinético consistente en el des-montaje del objeto, un recorrido inverso al de la construcción real, lo que permite al espectador poder familiarizarse desde el comienzo con el conjunto terminado. A partir de ahí, como si de un "ecorché" se tratara, se mostrarán sus entrañas: una lección de anatomía arquitectónica que finaliza con el vacío del solar del Salvador dominado por los brillos del gran arco de acero soviético-"stal" en ruso- reflejado en el Moskva. Este recurso cinético emparenta con las teorías del "montaje como conflicto" de Sergei Eisenstein, a través de una maqueta que se presenta, además, como comprobación de la efectividad de la forma ante las ondas acústicas, en la línea de las realizadas por ingenieros como Gustave Lyon. Se consigue así conjugar, a través de la maqueta, espacio, movimiento y sonido. El germen de una arquitectura acústica. Abstract: From the pages of L'Esprit Nouveau and inspired by films, Elie Faure coined the term "cineplástique" to refer to the combination betweenimages and music, similarly to theMethode Dalcroze in dancing. Le Corbusier, Albert Jeanneret and Pierre Chenal proposed two filmic experiences related to this new concept- "Batir" and "L'Architecture d'aujourd´hui". Several models were made specifically for these films and designed to be viewed on screen. This feature became more complex in the film of the proposal model for Palace of Soviets. Le Corbusier displayed a process consisting onthede-montageof the object, reversing thus the path to the actual building, which allows the viewer to become familiar from the start with the finished piece. Thereafter ,as if it was an "écorché", their insides are displayed, featuring an architectural anatomy lesson which ends with the empty site of Salvador, where the brightness of the large steel arch ("Stal" in Russian)is reflected in the Moskva River. This filming resource is related to Sergei Eisenstein's theories of " montage as conflict", illustrated by a scale model that also verifies the effectiveness of form with respect to acoustic waves, in line with those made by engineers such as Gustave Lyon. Therefore, the combination of movement, space and sound is achieved through the architectural model. That is the seed of acoustic architecture.

Abstract This study includes the design, validation, and fabrication via Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) of a gas turbine nozzle guide vanes (NGV) that incorporates three innovative cooling schemes specifically enabled by additive manufacturing. The novel NGV design is the culmination of an extensive research and development effort over a period of four years that included low and high speed cascade testing coupled with unsteady CFD for numerous candidate innovative cooling architectures. The final vane design (SJ-vane) consists of sweeping jet (SJ) film cooling holes on the suction surface, sweeping jet impingement holes at the leading edge and double-wall partial length triangular pin-fin with impinging jet at the trailing edge. For comparison purposes, a second DMLS enabled vane (777-vane) was designed and fabricated with prototypical cooling circuits to serve as a baseline. This vane consists of a shaped film cooling holes on the suction surface, circular impingement holes at the leading edge and full length cylindrical pin-fins at the trailing edge. Experiments with the two DMLS enabled vanes were performed at the Ohio State University Turbine Reacting Flow Rig (TuRFR) at engine relevant temperature (1375K) and Mach number conditions. Infrared (IR) thermography was utilized to measure the wall temperature of the pressure and suction surface at several coolant mass flow rates to estimate the overall cooling effectiveness (ϕ). Results showed improved cooling performance for the advanced cooling schemes (sweeping jet film cooling, impingement cooling and triangular pin-fin cooling) compared to the baseline cooling schemes.

Full textAbstract:
Thin film optical devices are expected to play an increasingly more important role in the evolution of optical and optoelectronic technologies during the next decade. New applications are expected to emphasise a significant stretching of the performance levels currently achievable in coating production, while the continual search for cost reduction will drive the need for more efficient material deposition processes, as well as the exploitation of more effective optical designs. The scale of such devices will range from the sub-micron domain of the optoelectronic device to the metre-plus scale of the aircraft canopy or the architectural "designer" window. In many cases, there will also be spin-off into or from other areas, particularly those involving wear-resistant coatings for machine tool or decorative applications. Lastly, requirements for optical signal processing, displays and "smart" windows will drive increasing emphasis towards the incoporation of active materials into multilayer designs, forming the cornerstone of a wide range of new products.
