Book Description
From the arid deserts of Tucson, Arizona to the icy forests of Poori, Finland to the tropical beaches of New South Wales, Australia to the urban jungle of downtown Manhattan, critics Alanna Stang and Christopher Hawthorne have travelled to the farthest reaches of the globe to find all that is new in the design of sustainable, or "green" homes. The result is more than thirty-five residences in fifteen countries, and nearly every conceivable natural environment, designed by a combination of star architects and heretofore unknown practitioners including Santiago Calatrava, Shigeru Ban, Miller/Hull, Rick Joy, Lake Flato, Kengo Kuma, Glenn Murcutt, Pugh & Scarpa, Werner Sobek, and many others. Projects are presented with large colour images, plans, drawings, and an accompanying text that describes their green features and explains how they work with and in the environment. The Green House is not only a beautiful object in its own right, but is sure to be an indispensable reference for anyone building or interested in sustainable design.

Managing the Unmanageable
Author: Molly Selvin
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Court congestion and delay
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
This study of civil delay and congestion in the Los Angeles Superior Court since the early twentieth century is an effort to provide an empirical basis for determining the extent to which these problems have worsened over the years. It considers (1) whether civil delay has increased steadily; (2) whether sources of delay are the same now as in the past; (3) effectiveness of innovations the court has introduced in the past to improve the situation; (4) larger institutional or political forces that may have influenced the effectiveness of any procedural innovation; and (5) how delay in Los Angeles courts compares with that of other metropolitan trial courts. The authors do not find a conclusive explanation for the recent increases in civil delay in Los Angeles, but believe that changes in the characteristics of the civil caseload may have contributed to increased delay, and find that this conclusion applies to other metropolitan areas as well. They conclude that the court should focus its delay-reduction efforts on adding to its existing resources and more effectively allocating the resources it does have to its most time-consuming cases.
