Download or read book Composite Landscapes written by Charles Waldheim and published by Hatje Cantz. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Composite Landscapes examines one of landscape architecture's most recognizable representational forms, the montage view. The volume gathers work from a select group of influential contemporary artists and a dozen of the world's leading landscape architects. These composite views reveal practices of photomontage depicting the conceptual, experiential, and temporal dimensions of landscape. Composite Landscapes illustrates the analog origins of a method now rendered ubiquitous through digital means. In revisiting the composite landscape view as a cultural form, Composite Landscapes illuminates the contemporary status of the photographically constructed image for the design disciplines, and beyond.Landscape architects and artists presented:Yves Brunier, Claude Cormier, James Corner, Jan Dibbets, Charles Eliot, Teresa Galí-Izard, Isabella Stewart Gardner, Adriaan Geuze, Booth Grey, Christopher Grubbs/Hargreaves Associates, Gary Hilderbrand, David Hockney, Kenneth Josephson, Kienast Vogt Partners, Anuradha Mathur/Dilip Da Cunha, Valerio Morabito, Eadweard Muybridge, Humphry Repton, Arthur Shurcliff, Ken Smith/Alice Adams, John Stezaker, Stöckli, Kienast & Koeppel, Superstudio, Michael Van Valkenburgh, Richard Weller, Byron Wolfe Ausstellung/Exhibition: Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston, Massachusetts, 27.6.-2.9.2013

Throughout the text, readers learn skills for spatial layout, evoking emotion through gamespaces, and creating better levels through architectural theory. Create Meaningful User Experiences in Your Games Bringing together topics in game design and architecture, this book helps designers create better spaces for their games. Software independent, the book discusses tools and techniques that designers can use in crafting their interactive worlds.
Download or read book Infrastructure as Architecture written by Scott Lloyd and published by Jovis Verlag. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our cities are constantly changing. The last 100 years in particular have seen radical conversions, extensions and the development of residual areas in inner cities which have significantly changed urban panoramas. Urban infrastructures play a pivotal role in conversion processes. These include transport routes, supply and disposal services, communication networks and the like, making a modern functioning city possible. In the publication Infrastructure as Architecture, acclaimed authors and planners show why architects' participation in the design of future urban infrastructures is vital. Theoretical contributions from the fields of economics, ecology, culture, politics, and land use planning investigate the issue from different perspectives. Practical examples and designs provide readers with an exciting glimpse of the future of our cities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are no easy decisions in software architecture. Instead, there are many hard parts--difficult problems or issues with no best practices--that force you to choose among various compromises. With this book, you'll learn how to think critically about the trade-offs involved with distributed architectures. Architecture veterans and practicing consultants Neal Ford, Mark Richards, Pramod Sadalage, and Zhamak Dehghani discuss strategies for choosing an appropriate architecture. By interweaving a story about a fictional group of technology professionals--the Sysops Squad--they examine everything from how to determine service granularity, manage workflows and orchestration, manage and decouple contracts, and manage distributed transactions to how to optimize operational characteristics, such as scalability, elasticity, and performance. By focusing on commonly asked questions, this book provides techniques to help you discover and weigh the trade-offs as you confront the issues you face as an architect. Analyze trade-offs and effectively document your decisions Make better decisions regarding service granularity Understand the complexities of breaking apart monolithic applications Manage and decouple contracts between services Handle data in a highly distributed architecture Learn patterns to manage workflow and transactions when breaking apart applications

Download or read book 3 D Textile Reinforcements in Composite Materials written by A Miravete and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 1999-08-09 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laminated composite materials have been used since the 1960s for structural applications. This first generation of materials were successful because of the materials' high stiffness and strength performance. The aims of this book are to describe the manufacturing processes, to highlight the advantages, to identify the main applications, to analyse the methods for prediction of mechanical properties and to focus on the key technical aspects of these materials in order to discover how better to exploit their characteristics and to overcome their disadvantages in relation to the laminated composite materials.This book covers many areas related to 3-D fabric textile technologies, and manufacturing is treated as a key issue. Theoretical aspects of micro- and macromechanics are covered in depth, as well as properties and behaviour. Specific techniques including braiding, stitching and knitting are described and compared in order to evaluate the most attractive configurations available at the moment. Present and future applications and trends are described to illustrate that 3-D textiles are part of the real industrial world not only today but tomorrow as well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Only Complete Technical Primer for MDM Planners, Architects, and Implementers Companies moving toward flexible SOA architectures often face difficult information management and integration challenges. The master data they rely on is often stored and managed in ways that are redundant, inconsistent, inaccessible, non-standardized, and poorly governed. Using Master Data Management (MDM), organizations can regain control of their master data, improve corresponding business processes, and maximize its value in SOA environments. Enterprise Master Data Management provides an authoritative, vendor-independent MDM technical reference for practitioners: architects, technical analysts, consultants, solution designers, and senior IT decisionmakers. Written by the IBM ® data management innovators who are pioneering MDM, this book systematically introduces MDM’s key concepts and technical themes, explains its business case, and illuminates how it interrelates with and enables SOA. Drawing on their experience with cutting-edge projects, the authors introduce MDM patterns, blueprints, solutions, and best practices published nowhere else—everything you need to establish a consistent, manageable set of master data, and use it for competitive advantage. Coverage includes How MDM and SOA complement each other Using the MDM Reference Architecture to position and design MDM solutions within an enterprise Assessing the value and risks to master data and applying the right security controls Using PIM-MDM and CDI-MDM Solution Blueprints to address industry-specific information management challenges Explaining MDM patterns as enablers to accelerate consistent MDM deployments Incorporating MDM solutions into existing IT landscapes via MDM Integration Blueprints Leveraging master data as an enterprise asset—bringing people, processes, and technology together with MDM and data governance Best practices in MDM deployment, including data warehouse and SAP integration
