Computing the Environment presents practical workflows and guidance
for designers to get feedback on their design using digital design
tools on environmental performance. Starting with an extensive
state-of-the-art survey of what top international offices are
currently using in their design projects, this book presents
detailed descriptions of the tools, algorithms, and workflows used
and discusses the theories that underlie these methods. Project
examples from Transsolar Klimaengineering, Buro Happold's SMART
Group, Behnish Behnisch Architects, Thomas Herzog, Autodesk
Research are contextualized with quotes and references to key
thinkers in this field such as Eric Winsberg, Andrew Marsh,
Michelle Addington and Ali Malkawi.
Design for Health: Sustainable Approaches to Therapeutic
Architecture Guest-Edited by Terri Peters This issue of AD seeks
out innovative and varied sustainable architectural responses to
designing for health, such as: integrating sensory gardens and
landscapes into the care environment; specifying local materials
and passive technologies; and reinvigorating aging postwar
facilities. Contributors include: Anne-Marie Adams, Sean Ahlquist,
Giuseppe Boscherini, Robin Guenther, Charles Jencks, Richard
Mazuch, Stephen Verderber, Featured architects: 100% Interior,
Arup, C.F. Moller, Lyons, MASS Design Group, Mongomery Sisam
Architects, Penoyre & Prasad
Smartgeometry (SG) has had an enormous influence on the emerging
architectural community interested in exploring creative
computational methods for the design of buildings. An informal
international network of practitioners and researchers, the group
meets annually to experiment with new technologies and collaborate
to develop digital design techniques.
SG was founded in 2001 by London-based architects and friends
Hugh Whitehead (Foster + Partners), J Parrish (Aecom) and Lars
Hesselgren (PLP). At the time there were little in the way of
parametric tools for architecture. SG was founded to encourage
development, discussion and experimentation relating to new digital
design environments that could be driven by design intent rather
than based on construction specifications. The need for new ways of
design thinking led to the parallel development of software
GenerativeComponents which was tested in the early years of the
annual workshops. In response to the needs of designers, the
ecology of these design environments has diversified to include
multiple software platforms, as well as innovative fabrication
techniques and interactive environments.
SG calls for a re-consideration of the design process, where the
creation of computational mechanisms become an integral part of
designing - not a task done prior to or separate from the process.
From pencil to algorithm, the tools that architects use directly
influence their creative process. New design tools and new design
environments therefore mean a requisite re-thinking of what
architecture is, and can be. "Inside Smartgeometry" examines and
contextualizes the work of the SG community: the digital spaces,
prototypes, and buildings designed using bespoke tools created in
response to architectural ideas.
From interactive crowd-sourcing tools to responsive agent-based
systems to complex digitally fabricated structures, this book
explores more than a decade of advances that have influenced both
the practice of architecture and the theory that drives it. SG has
grown from a handful of experts to an international network of
designers who are helping to define design environments of the
future. Founded by digital pioneers it creates the algorithmic
designers of the future.
This book can be seen as a retroactive manifesto for SG,
celebrating the varied approaches to computational design explored
by forward thinking practitioners and researchers. Through
twenty-three original texts including reflections by the founders,
and texts by Robert Aish, Martin Bechthold, Rob Woodbury, Chris
Williams and Mark Burry, the book offers a critical state of the
art of computational design for architecture. SG has been relevant
to many international design and engineering offices and the book
includes chapters by practitioners from offices such as Foster +
Partners, Grimshaw, SOM, Design2Production, CASE, and Populous.
This user-friendly reference tool presents clinical scenarios and
discusses some practical complementary and alternative therapies
available in dermatology. It focuses on peer-reviewed data that are
suitable for use in a conventional dermatology practice and helps
dermatologists guide their patients when faced with questions
regarding integrative dermatology using an evidence-based,
reader-friendly, and case-focused approach. Within the field of
dermatology, there is a marked void in the understanding of
complementary and alternative approaches, though dermatologists
frequently use off-label therapies to manage chronic conditions.
They do so, however, with a range of success and potentially
considerable side effect profiles. Handbook of Integrative
Dermatology is a must-have tool for any practicing dermatologist.
What Democrats Talk about When They Talk about God is a collection
of essays on the religious communication of members of the
Democratic Party, past and present-in office, while campaigning,
and in their public and private writing. While many books on the
market address issues at the intersection of church and state, none
to date have focused exclusively on Democrats as important
participants in the dialogue about religion and politics.
This is a new release of the original 1929 edition.
Chimpanzees are lovely and clever animals closely related to us
humans. They can teach us a lot about a loving family life and
caring for the earth. Children of all ages will enjoy this
beautiful story and drawings of a chimpanzee family.
Daily devotion is only one of the facets of true devotion to God
and His words. "Practical Principles for Daily Devotion" not only
includes the words that uplift and encourage believers, but is also
filled with important information designed to lead and instruct
believers all along life's paths. It offers a usable plan for how
to live practically and honorably while glorifying God. Presented
on a day-to-day basis, some of the teachings are drawn from Janice
Peters's experiences, while others spring from a more general
basis. All of them, however, come from God's teachings into her
heart and shared with all who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
so that they may be filled with God's love. Daily devotion is more
than just an experience; it is a ritual and a lifestyle that
reflects the fullness of God's glory. Let "Practical Principles to
Daily Devotion" catapult you to a closer relationship with Christ
as it strengthens and guides you during your study of the Word of
God.

In his address to Congress in September 2015, Pope Francis
surprised many when he included Dorothy Day and Thomas Merton along
with Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King, Jr, as examples of
four "great Americans" he wished to extol. While perhaps better
known than Merton, adding Day to the pantheon of great figures in
American history was certainly significant. Indeed, since her death
in 1980, there has been a steadily growing recognition of the
importance of Dorothy Day along with a steadily growing body of
scholarship on her. All of which has only been bolstered by the
renewed move to have Day canonized. Unfortunately, absent from all
this study and promotion of Day and her causes has been much
attention on Fr. John Hugo and "the retreat" that exerted such a
profound effect on her in the 1940s, bringing about her "second
conversion." There are very real reasons why these important
theological sources have been overlooked or even ignored, reasons
largely rooted in the context of early twentieth-century American
Catholicism. Called to be Saints offers a theological and
historical analysis of the role that Hugo and the retreat play in
understanding Day and the radical Christianity she put forth-a
notion of the Christian life that remains relevant today.

gedachtnislose Zeitreisende Sie sind fur einander bestimmt doch
zwischen ihnen schlummert ein ganzes Jahrhundert. Im Schrank ihres
Verehrers Victor, findet Anna einen geheimnisvollen Persianermantel
der von seinem Uronkel Louis stammt. Nur widerwillig eroffnet ihr
der urchige Louis seine Leidensgeschichte, denn seinem Unstern der
Eheschliessung zu entrinnen, bereiste er um die Jahrhundertwende
die ganze Welt. Noch ahnt Anna nicht wo sie die Antworten auf ihr
fragwurdiges Dasein finden wird, denn Louis verheimlicht, dass ihre
Zukunft eng mit dem Persianer verknupft ist, der ihr bald eine
aufregende Zeitreise in Louis' Vergangenheit ermoglicht.
