...Chapter 2 The Genesis Bernhard hoesli and the Process of Design It is the spring of 1982;the venue,the auditorium of the School of Architectre,University of Texas at Arlington.Bernhard Hoesli is speaking to a capacity crowd;his first lecture in Texas since his departure from Austin in the summer of 1957. I have arrived late, having driven the 350miles from San Antonio to the Dallas-Fort Worth area.Though there is a substantial contingent of young architecture students for whom the lecture is only one of a series,glancing around I reacquaint myself with the older faces;the balding,graying heads in the hall----Duane Landry and Jane Lorenz Landry,Bill Odum,Bill Booziotes,Rik Mcbride,and many,many others---all former students of his,and all come to listen one more time to that heavily infected,though remarkably fluent,English;that familiar emphatic cadence,that keen,impassioned intelligence methodically,masterfully drive home the argument.Transported for the moment back in time twenty-five years,to Room 305 of the Architecture building in Austin,it is with a shock I realize that his hair is now snow white. Author First of all you see,it was a personality,a strong,radiant,convincing,dynamic personality.And therefore either you know it or you don’t;it is something which is immediate or else it doesn’t exist.

...Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 2, Issue 5, May-2011 ISSN 2229-5518 1 Autonomous Room Air Cooler Using Fuzzy Logic Control System M. Abbas, M. Saleem Khan, Fareeha Zafar Abstract— This research paper describes the design and implementation of an autonomous room air cooler using fuzzy rule based control system. The rule base receives two crisp input values from temperature and humidity sensors, divides the universe of discourse into regions with each region containing two fuzzy variables, fires the rules, and gives the output singleton values corresponding to each output variable. Three defuzzifiers are used to control the actuators; cooler fan, water pump and room exhaust fan. The results obtained from the simulation were found correct according to the design model. This research work will increase the capability of fuzzy logic control systems in process automation with potential benefits. MATLAB-simulation is used to achieve the designed goal. Index Terms— Fuzzy Logic Control, Inference Engine, MATLAB simulation and Rule Selection. —————————— —————————— 1 INTRODUCTION ODERN processing systems are heavily dependent on automatic control systems. The control automation has become essential for machines and processes to run successfully for the achievement of consistent operation, better quality, reduced operating costs, and greater safety. The control system design, development and implementation need the specification of plants, machines or processes to be...

...Paimio Sanatorium * The spread of tuberculosis in Finland became the wars led to the construction of a number of sanatoria throughout the country. * Paimio was chosen as the location for the sanatorium and there was a competition for its design which was resolved at the end of January 1929. * Alvar Aalto’s proposal was placed first. In Aalto’s entry for the competition, the buildings were grouped in a Neo-Classical manner with sun balconies representing a more modern architectural approach. Lying in the sun on a balcony was part of the treatment for tuberculosis so that the balconies like these were an essential part of sanatorium architecture. * The closed building mass first opens symmetrically and then develops its final articulated form with no fundamental change in the basic idea. The new design of Paimio is based firmly on new architecture. * In 1928, Aalto made a fairly long trip to Paris via Holland, to take a look at some new buildings. Direct influences from the trip could be seen as clearly as when Aalto visited Sweden to look at contemporary buildings: Wilhelm Dudok in Holland (Hilversum Town Hall), Johames Duiker (Zonnerstraal Sanatorium), Le Corbusier (Villa Stein) * Aalto absorbed the geometric dynamics of Zonnerstraal and created from it a distinctive modern model of his own. * In its final form – Aalto increased the floor to floor height in the patients’ wing after the competition – Paimio Sanatorium rose above the pines...

...Removing Subjectivity: Wittgenstein, Carnap and Modernist Architecture. Peter Morton 1. Introduction In this paper I want to address the coincidence of two powerful cultural forces of the early 20th century: modernist design in architecture and the philosophy of logical empiricism. This coincidence is most dramatically represented in the connection between two groups, who have each had powerful cultural influence in this century: The Bauhaus (1919 - 1933: Weimar, Dessau, Berlin, Chicago) The “Vienna Circle” (1922 - 1938: Vienna, Amsterdam. The former became the premier school of modernist design, and contained as faculty many of the most influential artists, designers and architects of the century. The Vienna Circle was a group consisting mostly of non-philosophers, who met weekly for discussion of philosophical issues. These informal meetings brought about the birth of logical empiricism, a movement which set the agenda for philosophy in America after the second world war. Herbert Feigl, Otto Neurath and Rudolph Carnap, central participants in the Vienna Circle, gave public lectures at the Bauhaus beginning in summer of 1929, when the Bauhaus was in Dessau under the leadership in Hannes Meyer. Their influence was sufficiently strong that logical empiricist philosophy became part of the standard curriculum of the school. A second very clear connection between modernist architecture and logical empiricism is the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein...

...PROPOSED SYSTEM 26 6. TIMELINE CHART OF PROJECT` 32 7. FUTURE SCOPE 33 8. CONCLUSION 34 9. REFERENCES 35 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Abstract Virtual Classroom represents an innovative shift in the field of learning, providing rapid access to specific knowledge and information. It represents an interface between the students and a professor and provides personalized learning materials to the users. It offers a possibility to the attendees to share different resources at once and work with them as if they were at the same place where (real) resources are. In the system design, we use agents as entities that work on different tasks in the system. A set of agents of the same type is responsible for handling different users and their requests. The cooperation among agents is established through the act of exchanging messages. A wide variety of classroom techniques are being advocated to increase learning: active learning, collaboration, integration of assessment and feedback. 1.2 Problem Definition Education will change tremendously within the next few years. The significance of life-long learning and life accompanying education raises the need for new teaching and learning technologies. Developing a virtual classroom system to promote a greater count of students to splurge into the field of education....

...of air conditioning namely central chilled water air conditioning system. An all-air system provides complete sensible and latent cooling capacity in the cold air supplied by the system. Heating can be accomplished by the same air stream, either in the central system or at a particular zone. All-air systems can be classified into 2 categories namely single duct systems and dual duct systems. The single duct system as shown in figure 1 is used for a large room such as an atrium, a banking hall, a swimming pool, or a lecture, entertainment or operating theatre. It can be applied to groups of rooms with a similar demand for air conditioning, such as offices facing the same side of the building. A terminal heater coil under the control of temperature sensor within the room can be employed to provide individual room conditions. A variable value (AV) system has either an air volume control damper or a centrifugal fan in the terminal unit to control the quantity of following into the room in response to signals from a room air temperature...

...phase of a final year BSc (Hons) computing science project aiming to investigate biometric technologies and develop a fingerprint recognition application to allow logging of student attendance at lectures. The introduction offers some background to the project and establishes the aims and objectives of the project overall. Following on from the introduction, the literature review presents a critique of research material that provides the basis for the project. This material includes a number of texts, journals and research papers as well as additional information sourced from the Web. As drawn from the literature, the subject areas covered include; history and background to modern biometrics; technological, social, organisational and environmental influences; key technologies in the market today; design issues, including security, performance and testing. In chapter 3, attention turns to requirements analysis for the development of a fingerprint recognition system. The process follows a requirements engineering approach to development by formally establishing user requirements and allowing continuous requirements assessment throughout the project life-cycle. The design approach and methodology used to model the problem are also addressed here. Chapter 4 deals with high level design issues such as requirements engineering in the solution domain; assessment and selection of technology options; project management and implementation strategy and evaluation of user requirements...

...The work of this year’s laureate, Shigeru Ban, has also been displayed at Vitra. Huddled on a lawn, his structures, three fifty-dollar tents sheathed in standard-issue plastic tarps from the U.N., intended for the refugees of the Rwandan civil war, looked as if any minute they might be loaded on a pallet and removed. Ban’s work lay underneath the plastic: a simple skeleton of recycled-paper tubes, fitted together with plastic joints and braced with ropes describing the pattern of an unfinished star. Ban, who has built museums, mansions, corporate headquarters, and a golf-course clubhouse in South Korea, takes pleasure in distinguishing himself from his peers, and in pointing up their excesses: not much of their work could fit into a kit that comprises eleven elements (Paper Tube A, Paper Tube B, plastic peg), including the bag. “This company has the most expensive collection of architecture,” he says. “My tents became their cheapest collection.” In a profession often associated with showmanship and ego, Ban’s work appears humble, and appropriate to a historical moment that celebrates altruism, or its posture. The Supreme Court Justice Stephen G. Breyer, a member of the Pritzker jury, told me that he was moved by Ban’s commitment to the dispossessed. “The world is filled with billions of people, and most of them live in conditions where they will never see an architect or an architect-designed space,” he said. “To have a first-rate architect pay attention to those in need of...

...Rachel Dillie SOS-360 Final Project March 25, 2014 Game Theory “Game theory is the study of strategic interaction among rational players in an interactive setting” (Stevens, Lecture 1). Elements of a game consist of common knowledge, the players, strategies and payoffs. Every other Friday night my wife and I play cards at our friend’s house and it generally gets more intense as the game and the drinks progress. We mainly play a card game called spades and we play as partners. Common knowledge in this game is every player knows that in order to win you have to bid the correct number of books, meaning you have to guess how many rounds you and your partner can win based off what cards you are holding and what you think the other players are holding in their hands. Each player also is assumed to be an experienced player unless otherwise stated and even if they are it’s easier to guess how the hand will play out. In this card game there is not strictly a pure strategy at play, meaning it doesn’t not involve an act of randomness but a game of mixed strategy. Mixed strategy means using a pure strategy with acts of randomness. I have an idea what the other players will do when it is their turn in the card game but sometimes to force their hand, it is necessary to randomly sacrifice one of your cards to make them display their higher ranked cards. The payoff to a player reflects what that player cares about, not what another player thinks they should care about. Being rational...
