Merendino, "The Method Framework for Engineering System Architectures"
Auerbach Publications | 2008-11-20 | ISBN: 1420085751 | 512 pages | PDF | 3,7 MB

The architects of today’s large and complex systems all too often
struggle with the lack of a consistent set of principles and practices
that adequately address the entire breadth of systems architecture. The
Method Framework for Engineering System Architectures (MFESA) enables
system architects and process engineers to create methods for
effectively and efficiently engineering high-quality architecture for
systems, subsystems, and software components.

Meets the Needs of Specific Projects

The book begins by documenting the common challenges that must be
addressed by system architecture engineering. It explores the major
principles answering these challenges and forming the basis of MFESA.
Next, the authors introduce MFESA, including its primary goals, inputs,
tasks, outputs, and assumptions. Then they describe the fundamental
concepts and terminology on which the systems architecture engineering
is founded. This is followed by a description of each of the ten system
architecture engineering tasks including associated goals and
objectives, preconditions, inputs, steps, postconditions, work
products, guidelines, and pitfalls.

Finally, the book documents the relationship between quality and
architecture, explains the quality model underlying MFESA, and provides
a summary of MFESA method framework, as well as a list of points to
remember and future directions planned for MFESA.

Explains Specific Rationales

Organized as a handy desk reference, this book harnesses more than 100
years of the authors’ combined professional experience to provide
extensive guidelines, best practices, and tips on avoiding possible
pitfalls. It presents a direct rationale of why steps are taken, how
things can go wrong, and guidance for how and when to tailor the model
for a system’s specific context.

Enjoy this great book!

Kate Ascher, "The Works: Anatomy of a City"

Penguin Press | 2005 | ISBN: 1594200718 | siPDF | 240 pages | 22.8 MB


Have you ever wondered how the water in your faucet gets there?
Where your garbage goes? What all the pipes underneath city streets do?
For those who have ever stopped mid-crosswalk, looked around at a
rapidly moving metropolis, and asked themselves "How does it all
work?," The Works is required reading.



Amazon.com Review

Kate Ascher could not have chosen a much drier topic for a book
than water mains, parking meters, railroad classification yards, and
the other doodads of city infrastructure. But in Ascher's captivating
book, The Works,
the innards of New York City come alive. Wonderfully illustrated, the
book combines text, maps, and other graphics to tell the story of the
systems that keep America's greatest city running smoothly. How are
traffic lights coordinated? How do potholes form and which areas have
streets with the best "smoothness score"? How is mail processed? What
happens when you flush the toilet? Ascher, who has a PhD in government
from the London School of Economics and is now executive vice president
of the New York City Economic Development Corporation, dissects the
colorful workings of all these systems and much more.



The Works contains a section on
pretty much every aspect of the Big Apple's infrastructure. You'll
learn the mystery of the shiny silver tanks that have become a familiar
sight on New York streets. (They prevent moisture from damaging
underground phone lines.) Ascher explains how the city's 23 million
daily pieces of mail are processed. We also learn about the 27-mile
underground pneumatic mail tube that used to carry canisters with 500
letters up to 30 miles per hour around Manhattan. Also interesting: the
story of the nine-foot-long, 800-pound robot submarine that city
engineers send to probe leaks in the Delaware Aqueduct—which, it might
interest you to know, is the world's longest continuous underground
tunnel. And you'll find out all about Colonel Waring and his "White
Wings." A great coffee table book for New York lovers or anyone with a
curiosity bone.



Product Description

How much do you really know about the systems that keep a city alive? The Works: Anatomy of a City
contains everything you ever wanted to know about what makes New York
City run. When you flick on your light switch the light goes on—how?
When you put out your garbage, where does it go? When you flush your
toilet, what happens to the waste? How does water get from a reservoir
in the mountains to your city faucet? How do flowers get to your corner
store from Holland, or bananas get there from Ecuador? Who is operating
the traffic lights all over the city? And what in the world is that
steam coming out from underneath the potholes on the street? Across the
city lies a series of extraordinarily complex and interconnected
systems. Often invisible, and wholly taken for granted, these are the
systems that make urban life possible.



The Works: Anatomy of a City
offers a cross section of this hidden infrastructure, using beautiful,
innovative graphic images combined with short, clear text explanations
to answer all the questions about the way things work in a modern city.
It describes the technologies that keep the city functioning, as well
as the people who support them—the pilots that bring the ships in over
the Narrows sandbar, the sandhogs who are currently digging the third
water tunnel under Manhattan, the television engineer who scales the
Empire State Building's antenna for routine maintenance, the electrical
wizards who maintain the century-old system that delivers power to
subways.



Did you know that the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge is so long, and its
towers are so high, that the builders had to take the curvature of the
earth's surface into account when designing it? Did you know that the
George Washington Bridge takes in approximately $1 million per day in
tolls? Did you know that retired subway cars travel by barge to the
mid-Atlantic, where they are dumped overboard to form natural reefs for
fish? Or that if the telecom cables under New York were strung end to
end, they would reach from the earth to the sun? While the book uses
New York as its example, it has relevance well beyond that city's
boundaries as the systems that make New York a functioning metropolis
are similar to those that keep the bright lights burning in big cities
everywhere.



The Works is for anyone who has
ever stopped midcrosswalk, looked at the rapidly moving metropolis
around them, and wondered, how does this all work?

Karl Haglund, Renata von Tscharner, "Inventing the Charles River [ILLUSTRATED]"

The MIT Press | 2002 | ISBN: 0262083078 | 512 pages | PDF | 88,3 MB


The Charles River Basin, extending nine miles upstream from the
harbor, has been called Boston's "Central Park." Yet few realize that
this apparently natural landscape is a totally fabricated public space.
Two hundred years ago the Charles was a tidal river, edged by hundreds
of acres of salt marshes and mudflats. Inventing the Charles River
describes how, before the creation of the basin could begin, the river
first had to be imagined as a single public space. The new esplanades
along the river changed the way Bostonians perceived their city; and
the basin, with its expansive views of Boston and Cambridge, became an
iconic image of the metropolis. The book focuses on the precarious
balance between transportation planning and stewardship of the public
realm. Long before the esplanades were realized, great swaths of the
river were given over to industrial enterprises and
transportation--millponds, bridges, landfills, and a complex network of
road and railway bridges. In 1929, Boston's first major highway
controversy erupted when a four-lane road was proposed as part of a new
esplanade. At twenty-year intervals, three riverfront road disputes
followed, successively more complex and disputatious, culminating in
the lawsuits over "Scheme Z," the Big Dig's plan for eighteen lanes of
highway ramps and bridges over the river. More than three hundred
photographs, maps, and drawings illustrate past and future visions for
the Charles and document the river's place in Boston's history.

Urban Regions: Ecology and Planning Beyond the City

Publisher: Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 0521854466 | edition 2008 | PDF | 430 pages | 11,19 mb


With land planning, socioeconomics and natural systems as
foundations, this book combines urban planning and ecological science
in examining urban regions. Writing for graduate students, academic
researchers, planners, conservationists and policy makers, and with the
use of informative urban-region color maps, Richard Forman analyzes 38
urban regions from 32 nations, including London, Chicago, Ottawa,
Brasilia, Cairo, Seoul, Bangkok, Canberra, and a major case study of
the Greater Barcelona region. Alternative patterns of urbanization
spread (including sprawl) are evaluated from the perspective of nature
and people, stating land-use principles extracted from landscape
ecology, transportation and hydrology. Good, bad and interesting
spatial patterns for creating sustainable land mosaics are pinpointed,
and urban regions are considered in broader contexts, from climate
change to biodiversity loss, disasters and sense of place.

In the Scheme of Things: Alternative Thinking on the Practice of Architecture

Publisher: University of Minnesota Press | ISBN: 0816636532 | edition 2000 | PDF | 176 pages | 5,27 mb


The former editor of Progressive Architecture, now dean of the
University of Minnesota College of Architecture, muses on the troubled
state of contemporary architectural practice. In 12 loosely related
essays, Fisher, long recognized as one of the profession's keenest
critics, warns architects that they risk an increasingly marginalized
role within the building industry if they continue business as usual.
His sweeping vision calls for reforming professional education,
revitalizing relationships among colleagues and with clients, and
redefining the design process itself. This call to arms, however, is
sounded on a muted instrument. These erudite and elegantly argued
essays may appeal to an academic audience but are not likely to
galvanize an entire profession. Still, this is a timely and
thought-provoking addition to professional and academic collections.

The Discipline of Architecture

Publisher: University of Minnesota Press | ISBN: 0816636648 | edition 2000 | PDF | 344 pages | 2,89 mb


A polemical look at how architectural knowledge is produced,
disseminated, and received. In the vast literature on architectural
theory and practice, the ways in which architectural knowledge is
actually taught, debated, and understood are too often ignored. The
essays collected in this groundbreaking volume address the current
state of architecture as an academic and professional discipline. The
issues considered range from the form and content of architectural
education to the architect's social and environmental obligations and
the emergence of a new generation of architects. Often critical of the
current paradigm, these essays offer a provocative challenge to
accepted assumptions about the production, dissemination, and reception
of architectural knowledge.

Matthys Levy, Mario Salvadori, Kevin Woest, "Why Buildings Fall Down: How Structures Fail"

W W Norton & Co Inc | 1994 | ISBN: 0393033562 | 334 pages | DJVU | 5,6 MB


From Library Journal

Structural engineers Levy and Salvadori have written a well-paced,
highly informative, nontechnical work describing failures in a variety
of structures such as buildings, bridges, and dams. Salvadori wrote Why
Buildings Stand Up (Norton, 1990), so this is a natural complement. The
subject, somewhat grisly in nature, is presented here with respect for
the tragedies involved, and yet with a lighthearted pursuit of the
truth as to the cause of the failure. Analysis of the failure is
discussed and recommendations for improvement are offered, but without
the usual condescension hindsight allows. Profuse illustrations by
Kevin Woest, well labeled and explained, and several appendixes aid
access. An index (not seen) is provided, but no glossary. This
fascinating book is easily accessible to laypersons. Highly
recommended.

Geotechnical Analysis - Advanced Laboratory Stress-Strain Testing

Taylor & Francis | 2001-01-01 | ISBN: 9026518439 | 340 pages | PDF | 68 Mb


Developments in the measurement and interpretation of advanced
laboratory stress-strain testing of geomaterials are discussed in this
text, which includes a collection of case studies which apply the test
results. Most of the articles were produced through the activities of
the technical committee No 29 (TC-29) on "Stress-Strain Testing of
Geomaterials in the Laboratory" of the International Society for Soil
Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) between the years 1994
and 2000. ;The volume includes coverage of: detailed testing procedures
of the advanced laboratory stress-strain testing of geomaterials
including the triaxial and torsional shear tests, which are relevant to
the geotechnical design in general and the prediction of ground
deformation and structural displacement; the results obtained from a
series of international round robin tests (static and dynamic tests) on
clay, sand and softrock and their interpretation; the link between the
results from static tests (monotonic and cyclic loading) and dynamic
tests (the resonant-column tests and the bender element tests); country
reports on the stress-strain testing in the laboratory in several
countries; country reports on case histories in which advanced
laboratory stress-strain played an essential role in predicting ground
deformation and structural displacement; and individual technical
papers relating to the objectives of TC-29.

Matthew Stein, "When Technology Fails: A Manual for Self-Reliance & Planetary Survival"

Clear Light Books | January 2001 | ISBN: 1574160478 | siPDF | 405 pages | 12.2 MB




When Technology Fails is a practical "how to" manual that helps
people to prepare for and deal with disruptions in the normal course of
life. In today's world of terrorist acts and super storms, it is an
invaluable reference covering a wide variety of subjects such as
emergency preparedness, survival, first aid, renewable energy,
alternative healing, sustainable agriculture, green-building
technologies, and low-tech methods for providing the basics for
yourself if deprived of access to the comforts of modern living. Each
chapter also includes a "Whole Earth Catalog" style reference guide to
the best books, organizations and web sites relevant to that chapter's
topic. In today's world of terrorism, global warming, super-storms,
record breaking floods, severe droughts, antiquated and overloaded
electrical distribution systems, it is likely that most of us will see
significant disruptions in the flow of electricity and goods at some
point in our lives. An old Chinese! saying asks, "Is it not already too
late if one waits until one is thirsty to begin digging a well?" This
saying applies equally at both the personal and planetary levels. On
the micro level (personal survival), a little planning, training,
education and individual action can significantly reduce one's sense of
helplessness. On the macro level (global sustainability), large numbers
of people must be awakened to the need for change before governments
and the majority of businesses make a sustainable future their number
one priority. On both levels, action is required to promote a positive
outcome. We live in the "Information Age" and knowledge is power. When
Technology Fails is an exceptional source of information, providing
something of value for almost everyone, ranging from the
environmentalist who wishes to reduce man's impact on the planet to the
average person who simply wishes to provide for friends and family in
the event of an emergency.

The Canadian Home
Dundurn Press | ISBN: 1550022024 | 1996-07-25 | PDF | 832 pages | 28 Mb


Would you want to live in a factory-moulded cube made of plastic,
asbestos, and UFFI? With an "H-bomb shelter" and the nuclear furnace
underneath? Or a house designed by God to harmonise with the cosmic
Muzak? The Canadian Home explains how our housing came to be including
the pagan origins of "colonial" homes, why "Tudor" is not Tudor, and
where so many predictions went wrong. But the book is not just about
tastes and floor plans; it also celebrates technological innovation,
from prehistoric Inuit windows (of stretched seal guts) to the R-2000
house and habitation in space. For the first time, records of the
Canadian Home Builders' Association have been opened to reveal the
power plays of bureaucrats, developers, architects, and financiers and
how they affect the quality, affordability, and choice of our housing
today. Fiery debates over the sublime and the ridiculous (e.g. 1940s
architectural articles on whether Toronto should be bombed) are set
against the backdrop of Canadian politics and industrial history.
Whether the reader's interest is in construction, politics, or home
decor, this book explains why the roof over our heads is the way it
is." Pierre Berton "In his fascinating study of Canadian shelter, Marc
Denhez takes us on a 20,000-year journey from the days of the cave, the
tipi, and the igloo, to the H-bomb shelter and the mobile home. This
is, in short, a lively as well as an erudite study of the development
of housing . [It] deserves a permanent position on any library shelf."
"If you live in a house or own one or build one if you have a roof over
your head read this book. A housing book with punch and humour
immensely enjoyable." Charles Lynch author, journalist and former
governor of Heritage Canada.

Imagining the Turkish House: Collective Visions of Home
University of Texas Press | ISBN: 029271825X | 2008-08-01 | PDF | 360 pages | 3 Mb


"Houses can become poetic expressions of longing for a lost past,
voices of a lived present, and dreams of an ideal future." Carel
Bertram discovered this truth when she went to Turkey in the 1990s and
began asking people about their memories of "the Turkish house." The
fondness and nostalgia with which people recalled the distinctive
wooden houses that were once ubiquitous throughout the Ottoman Empire
made her realize that "the Turkish house" carries rich symbolic
meaning. In this delightfully readable book, Bertram considers
representations of the Turkish house in literature, art, and
architecture to understand why the idea of the house has become such a
potent signifier of Turkish identity.

Bertram's exploration of the Turkish house shows how this feature of
Ottoman culture took on symbolic meaning in the Turkish imagination as
Turkey became more Westernized and secular in the early decades of the
twentieth century. She shows how artists, writers, and architects all
drew on the memory of the Turkish house as a space where changing
notions of spirituality, modernity, and identity—as well as the social
roles of women and the family—could be approached, contested, revised,
or embraced during this period of tumultuous change.

John P. Eberhard, "Brain Landscape The Coexistence of Neuroscience and Architecture"



Oxford University Press, USA | 2008 | ISBN: 0195331729 | 280 pages | PDF | 2,6 MB


Brain Landscape: The Coexistence of Neuroscience and Architecture
is the first book to serve as an intellectual bridge between
architectural practice and neuroscience research. John P. Eberhard,
founding President of the non-profit Academy of Neuroscience for
Architecture, argues that increased funding, and the ability to think
beyond the norm, will lead to a better understanding of how scientific
research can change how we design, illuminate, and build spaces.
Inversely, he posits that by better understanding the effects that
buildings and places have on us, and our mental state, the better we
may be able to understand how the human brain works. This book is
devoted to describing architectural design criteria for schools,
offices, laboratories, memorials, churches, and facilities for the
aging, and then posing hypotheses about human experiences in such
settings.
