This provocative collection of essays is the first book-length treatment of the development of modern architecture in the Middle East. Ranging from Jerusalem at the turn of the twentieth century to Libya under Italian colonial rule, postwar Turkey, and on to present-day Iraq, the essays cohere around the historical encounter between the politics of nation-building and architectural modernism's new materials, methods, and motives.

Architecture, as physical infrastructure and as symbolic expression, provides an exceptional window onto the powerful forces that shaped the modern Middle...

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...

This book reveals how advances in computer science and human-computer interaction impact Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) environments. The underlying theme of the contributions is the social affordances of physical objects. The collaborative situations illustrated in the book are not necessarily learning situation in a school sense. In summary, this book illustrates a turn in the field of CSCL and emphasizes an important message for a generation of CSCL users.

Peter Henry Emerson (1856-1936) was a leading English photographer who spearheaded a style he termed "naturalistic photography." He argued for photography as a fine art, encouraged his colleagues to use nature as their standard, and introduced the theory of "differential focusing," whereby the main subject was in focus and everything else fell into moderate softness.

Many young Americans admired Emerson's work, forming a movement of naturalistic photography in this country that lasted from the 1890s to about 1930. Like Emerson, they emphasized the beauty of Mother Nature and...

As the construction industry moves to a single set of international building codes, architects and construction professionals need an interpretive guide to understand how the building code affects the early design of specific projects. This newest addition to Wiley's series of focused guides familiarizes code users with the 2009 International Residential Code(R) (IRC) as it applies to residential buildings. The book provides architects, engineers, and other related building professionals with an understanding of...

Die Neuauflage des eingefuhrten Fachbuches fur Produktentwicklung, Konstruktion und Industrie-Design stellt das kundenorientierte Design eines technischen Produkts und dessen Benutzbarkeit in den Mittelpunkt. Design in der Produktentwicklung wird hierin integral nach VDI-Richtlinie 2221 behandelt. Der Anwendungsumfang betrifft sowohl Einzelprodukte als auch Produktprogramme und -systeme. Alle Anwendungsfalle werden hinsichtlich der Designanforderungen, der Losungselemente und der Losungsbewertung untersucht. Eine erweiterte Beschreibung erfahren die okologischen Vorgaben fur...

Architecture that is meant to have a sensuous connection to life calls forthinking that goes far beyond form and construction. In his texts, Peter Zumthor articulates what motivates him to design his buildings, which appeal to the visitor's heart and mind in so many different ways and possess a compelling and unmistakable presence and aura. Now in its third edition, this book has been expanded to include two new essays: "Architecture and Lanscape" deals with the relationship between the structure and its surroundings, with the secret of the successful placement and topographical...

Listening to, buying and sharing music is an immensely important part of everyday life. Yet recent technological developments are increasingly changing how we use and consume music. This book collects together the most recent studies of music consumption, and new developments in music technology. It combines the perspectives of both social scientists and technology designers, uncovering how new music technologies are actually being used, along with discussions of new music technologies still in development. With a specific focus on the social nature of music, the book breaks new ground in...

Im Allgemeinen bezieht sich dieses Buch auf Video-Produktionen mit Interaktion und im Besonderen auf die Formate DVD, Blu-ray Disc und HD DVD. In diesem Zusammenhang werden die Varianten der DVD nicht als Datentrager, sondern als Formate vorgestellt, die jeweils eigenstandige Genres darstellen, etwa interaktives Video, Dokumentationen, Games, Event-Shows etc.

Der Autor erlautert, wie im Rahmen dieser Formate Linearitat, Nonlinearitat und Interaktion fur Erzahlformen, fur Spiele und zur Wissensvermittlung genutzt werden konnen und welche technologischen Spezifikationen zu...

Eine Architektur, die in einer sinnlichen Verbindung zum Leben stehen soll, erfordert ein Denken, das uber Form und Konstruktion weit hinausgeht. In seinen Texten bringt Peter Zumthor zum Ausdruck, was ihn zu diesen Gebauden motiviert, die Gefuhl und Verstand auf so vielfaltige Weise ansprechen und uber eine unbedingte Prasenz und Ausstrahlung verfugen.
Dieses Buch, das nun bereits in zweiter Auflage erscheint, wurde nun umzwei neue Essays erganzt: Architektur und Landschaft beschaftigt sich mit dem Verhaltnis von Bauwerk und Umgebung, dem Geheimnis der gelungenen Platzierung und...

The Language of Design articulates the theory that there is a language of design. Drawing upon insights from computational language processing, the language of design is modeled computationally through latent semantic analysis (LSA), lexical chain analysis (LCA), and sentiment analysis (SA). The statistical co-occurrence of semantics (LSA), semantic relations (LCA), and semantic modifiers (SA) in design text is used to illustrate how the reality producing effect of language is itself an enactment of design, allowing a new understanding of the connections between creative behaviors. The...

This book presents a selection of papers related to the sixth edition of the International Conference on Integrated Design and Manufacturing in Mechanical Engineering. This conference was organized within the framework of the activities of the AIP-PRIMECA network whose main scientific field is integrated design applied to both mechanical engineering and production, and represents state of the art research. It shows the urgent need for change in product development with the integration during the design activity of the global life cycle of the product.

The 33 papers presented in this...
