Author: Sadiyah Geyer
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040100546
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
In the post-COVID era, understanding the profound impact of digital technologies on design pedagogy is crucial. This book delves into experimental design education, showcasing projects utilising technology to transform creative and analytical processes. Emphasising the potential for digital-era technologies to create novel educational opportunities, the book addresses recent global events and their role in minimising educational disruptions in the evolving hybrid educational landscape. Each chapter offers case studies exploring digital technology's influence across architectural education, spanning interior design, urban planning, parametric digital design, architectural conservation, and design analysis. Contributors envision the hybrid virtual design studio’s future and discuss the collaborative role of digital technologies in urban design projects. The book analyses contemporary parametric design processes and machine learning through innovative historical case studies, examining new technologies in architectural conservation. With case studies from diverse locations, including South Africa, Turkey, the UK, and the United States, the book provides a global perspective on the influences and potential futures of digital technologies in architecture. Essential for those interested in the future of spatial design education, this book illuminates the pivotal role of technology in shaping its trajectory.

New Earth Histories
Author: Alison Bashford
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022682859X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
A kaleidoscopic rethinking of how we come to know the earth. This book brings the history of the geosciences and world cosmologies together, exploring many traditions, including Chinese, Pacific, Islamic, South and Southeast Asian conceptions of the earth’s origin and makeup. Together the chapters ask: How have different ideas about the sacred, animate, and earthly changed modern environmental sciences? How have different world traditions understood human and geological origins? How does the inclusion of multiple cosmologies change the meaning of the Anthropocene and the global climate crisis? By carefully examining these questions, New Earth Histories sets an ambitious agenda for how we think about the earth. The chapters consider debates about the age and structure of the earth, how humans and earth systems interact, and how empire has been conceived in multiple traditions. The methods the authors deploy are diverse—from cultural history and visual and material studies to ethnography, geography, and Indigenous studies—and the effect is to highlight how earth knowledge emerged from historically specific situations. New Earth Histories provides both a framework for studying science at a global scale and fascinating examples to educate as well as inspire future work. Essential reading for students and scholars of earth science history, environmental humanities, history of science and religion, and science and empire.

The Environmental Element in Space Law
Author: Lotta Viikari
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9047433556
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
While decades of space ventures have led to significant technological advances, space activities have also brought increasing environmental problems. This book examines the current international legal regimes in space law and environmental law in order to ascertain their applicability and efficacy in addressing environmental threats in the space sector. The research suggests mechanisms which could improve environmental protection in the sector and strengthen the environmental element in space law. These mechanisms include a variety of norm-setting strategies used in international environmental management. Special attention is drawn to the potential of environmental impact assessment in the space sector and to dispute resolution procedures. Like other areas of human activities, the space sector should accommodate both economic interests and environmental protection in line with the principle of sustainable development

Environmental Chemistry: Asian Lessons
Author: V.N. Bashkin
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0306480204
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
At present environmental chemistry is becoming an increasingly popular subject in both under graduate and graduated education in the whole World and especially in all Asian countries. Different courses in ecology, chemistry, environmental science, public health, geography, biology, and environmental engineering all include this subject in their curriculum. Many textbooks have appeared in recent years aiming to fulfill these requirements; however, most of these books operate mainly with examples from developed countries of Europe, USA and Canada. Taking into account the geographic boundaries of environmental pollution that is especially pronounced in Asia and the specific peculiarities of pollution in developing countries, this textbook is supposed to close the gap by providing regionally oriented knowledge in basic and applied environmental chemistry.
