101 Things I Learned in Architecture School

101 Things I Learned in Architecture School By Matthew Frederick

Publisher: MIT Press 2007 | 128 Pages | ISBN: 0262062666 | PDF | 31 MB
This book presents concise lessons in design, drawing, the creative process, and presentation, from the basics of "How to Draw a Line" to the complexities of color theory.This is a book that students of architecture will want to keep in the studio and in their backpacks. It is also a book they may want to keep out of view of their professors, for it expresses in clear and simple language things that tend to be murky and abstruse in the classroom. These 101 concise lessons in design, drawing, the creative process, and presentation - from the basics of "How to Draw a Line" to the complexities of color theory - provide a much-needed primer in architectural literacy, making concrete what too often is left nebulous or open-ended in the architecture curriculum. Each lesson utilizes a two-page format, with a brief explanation and an illustration that can range from diagrammatic to whimsical.The lesson on "How to Draw a Line" is illustrated by examples of good and bad lines; a lesson on the dangers of awkward floor level changes shows the television actor Dick Van Dyke in the midst of a pratfall; a discussion of the proportional differences between traditional and modern buildings features a drawing of a building split neatly in half between the two. Written by an architect and instructor who remembers well the fog of his own student days, "101 Things I Learned in Architecture School" provides valuable guideposts for navigating the design studio and other classes in the architecture curriculum. Architecture graduates - from young designers to experienced practitioners - will turn to the book as well, for inspiration and a guide back to basics when solving a complex design problem.

Binding: Hardcover

Product Description:

Completely revised and restructured, the new edition of Transport Planning describes the evolution of transport policies and planning, linking the past with the contemporay and future debates.

A Retrospective Analysis describes the recent past and how the current situation in research and practice on transport planning has developed, including a new chapter on events since 1997, with the difficulties of finding the means to introduce the social market. The second part of the book begins with a Comparative Analysis of experience in three European countries (Germany, France and the Netherlands) and the United States. It covers both transport planning and evaluation, where different approaches have been developed in response to national policy issues and the different cultural and analytical traditions. The final part is a Prospective Analysis of the key issues facing transport planners in the twenty-first century.

Product Description:

Rogers: Highway Engineering

This book provides an introduction to highway engineering for students on degree and diploma courses in civil engineering. It moves in a logical sequence from the planning and economic justification for a highway, through the geometric design and traffic analysis of highway links and intersections, to the design and maintenance of both flexible and rigid pavements.

Existing texts have tended to concentrate purely on highway planning and analysis, or on pavement design and maintenance aspects of highway engineering. As a result, the standard has tended to be too advanced for students studying the subject for the first time. This textbook covers the basic ground in both areas. It features worked examples and case studies as an aid to understanding individual topics and aims to provide the student with a solid, practically based foundation for the topic of highway engineering, thus providing a gateway to the more advanced and specialised texts

Sales Rank: 294747

ISBN / ASIN: 0849319862

Beginning with financing, access management, environmental impacts, road safety, and noise, this book explores the expanded responsibilities of the modern highway engineer as well as the increasing trend toward privatization of project development and financing. The next section considers technical issues in highway and pavement engineering, including materials, new mechanistic-empirical design approaches, new closed-form solutions for backcalculation, and deflection and stress computation in multi-slab systems. Rounding out the discussion, the final section examines construction, management, performance evaluation including nondestructive testing, and a chapter devoted to highway asset management

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.

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 Plannin
* 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.

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.
