학교강당의 평면적 특징에 따른 대피효율에 관한 연구

This study compared evacuation effectiveness between the conventional school auditorium plan and a suggested hypothetical plan that was generated by a mathematical model, which is commonly applied in the field of industrial engineering. Recent school buildings became much more complicated in floor planning due to new social needs and modern curriculum than the old days. Nevertheless, architect's approach to floor composition in terms of fire emergency evacuation planning, still has no relation to optimized effective but relies more on an conventional school planning. Therefore, since school buildings are much more likely to be exposed to any fire related events than any other building types, emergency exit effectiveness based on spatial composition has to be seriously evaluated with a scientific method. The algorithm, which acquires the number of persons in each spatial type(node) per floor and the minimum physical distance between spatial types(arc), can propose the most optimized spatial layout per floor regarding emergency evacuation event. Consequently, this study evaluated school's fire exit effectiveness focusing on auditorium area with the scientific tool and suggested the most reliable spatial layout regarding possibile emergency evacuation event.

An Information Architect's Approach to Address Indian Farmers' Indebtedness

Indian farmer, including their counterparts in some developed countries, fell in debt-trap even as GDP and food prices soared and many sectors of the economy shared benefits of GDP growth. Apparently, none of the systems— colonial, socialist, or market-based—have tools to share economic prosperity with the farmer 1 . The paper simulates steps in order to experimentally demonstrate that there could be very high risk in agricultural production. Finally, it proceeds to outline architecture of a centralized digital market, different from existing forms of markets available to the farmer, which addresses such risk as is associated with payoff from agriculture. General Terms Pearson r: Pearson r coefficient determines correlation between two data series, which can be positive or negative depending on whether both series increase or decrease together or one increases while the other decreases. A lower or higher absolute value of r indicates weaker or stronger

Whose house is it? Exploring user participation in the design process of residences

AbstractUser participation in the design of built environments has been seen as essential from functional, social, psychological and political perspectives, given the intricacy of human–environment relationships. These concerns are most important in residential environments to which people relate continuously and intimately. This paper explores client–user participation in the architectural design process for their houses. The design process in seven projects by five small architectural firms was analysed in detail to map existing patterns of user participation in India. Significant producers of these patterns include, inter alia, the architect's approach to the project and to client–user participation, the client's awareness of design aspects and expectations of professional services, and the arrangements for interactions and communication; how these modulate the variables is discussed. Finally, the institutional frameworks that configure these factors and the obstacles to change have been highlighted. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

3-D Structures Viewed with the Architect's Approach

The complexity of teaching structures to architects is described in this article on the basis of the subject: 3-D surface structures and the need to give an insight into the theoretical background. Attention is given to the value of optimised structures and the use of geometrical systems to generate the surfaces. At the same time, the limited value of these means is shown, and the author tries to crawl into the difficult area between architecture and structure. This area is found to be an important, but not very appreciated area of research. Most of the figures shown relate to the Academy where the author works; the rest are from examples used in teaching.

Paper 1: The Architect's Approach to the Design of Mechanical Engineering Departments

This paper discusses decisions to be taken at three stages in the design of new mechanical engineering departments for universities and colleges of advanced technology. These decisions, which are to be taken within a framework of educational and financial policies, are concerned with the brief, the planning and the structure. Planning and structure include all the three-dimensional aspects of design. Decisions are centred on the problem of flexibility and how this relates to a number of factors including costs, service provisions, and the architectural expression. Implications of the design decisions are illustrated by reference to the evolution of the plans for the engineering complex at Brunei College, now under construction, and by other British and continental examples. In dealing with the construction of heavy laboratories notes are included on lighting, sound insulation and vibration, mechanical handling and methods of integrating services. Throughout, emphasis is placed on co-operative working between the client and the professional team, which although it is led by the architect, must include the consulting mechanical, electrical and structural engineers and the quantity surveyors.
