Building with Earth: Design and Technology of a Sustainable Architecture

Birkhauser Architecture | January 16, 2009 | ISBN-10: 3764389923 | 208 pages | PDF | 22MB

For a number of years, the healthy and environment-friendly building material earth, in common use for thousands of years, has been enjoying increasing popularity, including in industrialized nations. In hot dry and temperate climate zones, earth offers numerous advantages over other materials. Its particular texture and composition also holds great aesthetic appeal.The second and revised edition of this handbook offers a practical systematic overview of the many uses of earth and techniques for processing it. Its properties and physical characteristics are described in informed and knowledgeable detail. The author s presentation reflects the rich and varied experiences gained over thirty years of building earth structures all over the world. Numerous photographs of construction sites and drawings show the concrete execution of earth architecture.

Connectionism: A Hands-on Approach

Connectionism: A Hands-on Approach

Connectionism: A Hands-on Approach
Publisher: Blackwell Publishing Limited | ISBN: 1405128070 | edition 2005 | PDF | 208 pages | 1,73 mb

CONNNECTIONISM is a "hands on" introduction to connectionist modeling. Three different types of connectionist architectures - distributed associative memory, perceptron, and multilayer perceptron - are explored. In an accessible style, Dawson provides a brief overview of each architecture, a detailed introduction on how to use a program to explore this network, and a series of practical exercises that are designed to highlight the advantages, and disadvantages, of each and to provide a "road map" to the field of cognitive modeling.

This book is designed to be used as a stand-alone volume, or alongside Minds and Machines: Connectionism and Psychological Modeling (Blackwell Publishing, 2004). An accompanying website is available at bcp.psych.ualberta.ca and includes practice exercises and software, as well as the files and blank exercise sheets that are required for performing the exercises.

 Recent Advances in Design and Decision Support Systems in Architecture and Urban Planning

 Leeuwen J.P., Timmermans H.J.P "Recent Advances in Design and Decision Support Systems in Architecture and Urban Planning"

Springer | July 20, 2004 | ISBN: 1402024088 | 358 pages | PDF | 8 MB


The International conference on Design & Decision Support Systems in Architecture and Urban Planning is organised bi-annually by the Eindhoven University of Technology. This volume contains a selection of papers from the seventh conference that was held at De Ruwenberg Castle in Sint-Michiels Gestel, The Netherlands, from 2 to 5 July, 2004. Traditionally, the DDSS conferences aim to be a platform for both starting and experienced researchers who focus on the development and application of computer support in the areas of urban planning and architectural design. This results in an interesting mix of well-established research projects and first explorations. It also leads to a very valuable cross-over of theories, methods, and technologies for support systems in the two different areas, architecture and urban planning. This volume contains 22 peer reviewed papers from this year's conference that are organised into five sections:



* Applications of Artificial Intelligence,

* Visualisation fro Design and Decision Support,

* Simulation and Agent Technology,

* Design Research and Design Support Systems,
????: Study Temple-All kinds of Study Material Recent Advances in Design and Decision Support Systems in Architecture and Urban Planning

* Geographical Information Systems.



Together, these papers provide an excellent overview of the latest results in research and development of design and decision support systems in architecture and urban planning.

he Oxford Companion to Christian Art and Architecture

Murray Peter; Murray Linda., "The Oxford Companion to Christian Art and Architecture"

Oxford University Press ISBN: 0198661657 1996 JPG 624 pages 15.8 МБ


Compiled by the late Peter Murray and his wife, Linda (probably best known to Americans for their Penguin Dictionary of Art and Artists), this alphabetically arranged handbook follows the familiar format of the Oxford Companions to art, twentieth-century art, and the decorative arts. Aware that increasingly many people lack knowledge of the Bible, Christian doctrine, church history, and ritual, the Murrays provide understandable information. Generous use of cross-references leads newcomers from Christian art to related entries.

Chronological coverage runs from the earliest Christian art to the present. Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Protestant subjects are treated. "Dogmas, rites, and liturgical matters" are covered only as they relate to the visual arts. Entries are clearly written; small black-and-white illustrations and 16 full-page color illustrations support the text. A list of abbreviations used throughout precedes and a seven-page glossary of architectural terms follows the text. Concluding the work are a classified bibliography of books (sacred texts, atlases, iconographies, and historical eras) and sources for the illustrations used.

3D Manufacturing Innovation: Revolutionary Change in Japanese Manufacturing with Digital Data

Springer | 2008-02 | ISBN: 1848000375 | 155 pages | PDF | 8 MB


3D design is now a key technology for effective collaboration between manufacturing companies. Since the introduction of light-weight 3D data technology, "post-3D CAD/CAM/CAE data" is now compatible for use across manufacturing, sales and marketing processes. The successful use of 3D data throughout such processes has become indispensable for the competitive strength of companies in the manufacturing industry.



For a company to survive and win in the manufacturing industry, it must not only accumulate light-weight 3D data, but also share this information within the company and with related companies, and train key personnel in the use of this data. 3D Manufacturing Innovation introduces the best practices developed by Toyota, Sony, Nikon, Casio and other pioneers in the global engineering scene, providing the reader with invaluable tips for manufacturing innovation.



3D Manufacturing Innovation is a valuable guide for corporate IT managers, consultants and professionals involved in CAD/CAM/CAE, as well as to vendors of digital engineering software.
