A Key Factor in Vienna Becoming the “Greenest City” in 2020 was the Paradigm Shift in the Transport System 50 Years Earlier

Until the 1970s, the future of Vienna was planned as usual at that time with highways, large garages, subways to replace the annoying streetcars and without bicycle traffic. However, with the demolition of the Florianikirche in 1965, a landmark of the 5th district, in order to make more room for the car, an awareness arose among the population, of the threat to the city by this means of transport. This had consequences. When the motorway plans were stopped in 1972, a new traffic concept had to be worked out. The practical application of the principles elaborated there leads to a sustainable transport policy and to the reversal of trends in the choice of means of transport. Between 1993 and 2015, the share of car trips was reduced from 40% to 27% and the share of trips made by public transport was increased from 29% to 39%. This was prompted by citizen resistance to a city of freeways and by politicians who were willing to learn. Instead of plans for highways, the city is making plans to reclaim public space for nature. However, recent developments show that successes can lead to a relapse into old mistakes.

ON THE STABILITY OF FAST FERRY IN DAMAGE SCENARIOS

The ro-ro ships are characterized by a large garage compartment extending from stern to bow. Damage conditions, heavy weather and large floodable spaces could create serious accidents, with the loss of life and goods at sea, both for conventional ferries and fast ferries. The occurred accidents showed the need of a more accurate approach to the damaged ship stability in waves, also in head sea and following sea conditions, because of the great movements of water on the car deck. With this aim a tool for analysing the ship response in wave with damaged compartments has been developed and applied on a typical fast ferry. The ship dynamic is simulated in time domain, including non-linear effects, taking into account critical scenarios on the damaged ship. The applications regard ship grounding, assuming head sea, modelled by regular wave. In addition to that, also the particularly critical condition of a transversal wind heeling moment has been applied to compute non symmetrical behaviour. Moreover the stability problems arising from the presence of trapped water in the garage compartment are investigated assuming the same environmental scenarios.

Pioneers of the plantation economy: militarism, dispossession and the limits of growth in the Wa State of Myanmar

The characteristic mobility of highland populations in Southeast Asia relied to a large extent on their particular adaption to an ecological environment: swidden cultivation of tubers on mountain slopes. This ecology corresponded to cosmologies in which potency was limitless, or at least had no fixed and delimited precinct (as did the rice paddies and Buddhist realms in the valleys). Military state building, modern transport, and new crops and agricultural technologies have effectively ended swidden cultivation. In this article, I follow the pioneers of the plantation economy in the Wa State of Myanmar, who dispossess local populations of their land and employ them as plantation labour. The limits of growth and potency they encounter are (a) in the natural environment and (b) in the resistance of local populations. Yet, even though there are such limits, the potency to which these pioneers aspire is still limitless. It is however channelled through a new economy of life, epitomised in the plantation, nourished in excessive feasting, and maintained by the kinship dynamics of capture and care.

Performing Architectures: Closed and open logics of mutable scenes

Inherent to contemporary discussions within the architectural discipline is an interest in architecture's performance, interpreted as program/use, efficiency, responsivity, and spectacularity. Bernard Tschumi's Manhattan Transcripts and event-spaces by Cedric Price, Archigram, and others are part of this legacy. Increasingly of interest is the formal expression of performance as well as the responsivity to inputs of an environmental, ecological or social nature. Common to these trajectories is an exploration of the mutability of space. In this essay, performing architectures specifically designed for a dance are explored in terms of the design logic's determining the spectrum of potential performances, from a limited range within a closed system, to an open ended yet still systematic realm of possible performances. Amongst the works discussed is Tod Williams’ and Billie Tsien's folding wall for Elisa Monte's The World Upside Down . In this performance, through the dancer's effort, this singular spatial element was continuously moved over the duration of the performance. If this wall offered a predetermined set of environments from a single element, at the opposite end of the spectrum was Nikolaus Hirsch and Michel Müller's build-out for the Forsythe Company, at the Bockenheimer Depot . Their kit of parts, of a limited material and dimensional palette, offered an open and endless set of possibilities to create an ever-evolving environment for both the public space and the performance space housed in this large garage. Other works include Ai Weiwei's environment for Frédéric Flamand's The Truth 25 x/Second , and canopies for John Jasperse's California and by Aptum Architecture for Tere O'Connor's Cover Boy . Together these works elicit questions about dynamic and transformative systems, and the potential for choreographic and spatial invention to continue after the construction has concluded.

The Extreme Connection Between Bodies and Houses

The Extreme Connection Between Bodies and Houses

Towards aural opacity—across a visually transparent medium

Virginia Tech students undertook a study and participated in a design competition to provide the campus physical plant building with a wall that allows for natural light and views while maintaining a suitable aural barrier. The wall, which replaces a large garage door, will be constructed as part of an effort to renovate a wood/metal shop into an office. It must provide for adequate transmission loss to account for the noise generated by adjacent utility trucks, shop activities and an ad hoc basketball court. Unable to obtain published data for glass vestibules, students measured the transmission loss across another campus building’s glass entry vestibule. Currently there are plans for the winning students design entry to be constructed as part of the renovation.

exist. The qualities of Appalachian life which have received attention in this paper are not as unique as they once were. They do not stand in vivid contrast to the American mainstream the way they once did. Instead, they arcmore subtle, more common. They are harder to distinguish, because they have merged into the context of a larger American core culture. Dress, mannerisms, customs, and life pursuits are similar to those found anywhere in this country. Still, amidst the similarities, there are uniquenesses to be found here; still, there are experiential qualities which are peculiar to the mountains and the lifestyle they hold; still the people here possess qualities which ring of an individually Appalachian nature; still, there is a particular and unique aesthetic and it deserved notoriety and credibility. To conclude, let me clarify the scene outside my window that I described earlier. I see a large garage, an alley, three trash cans, telephone poles with sagging wires, a street, people walking, and automobile traffic. The scene is typical of practically any small town anywhere in America. It is not until I crane my neck a little to the left and down that I see its Appalachian context: The massive hills with their dark green shadows looming across a valley where two rivers meet and flow quickly away. Beyond the normality of the view there are particular Appalachian qualities. I have to strain to see, but if I try hard enough I cannot help being aware of their unique features. Their presence makes all the difference in the world to the nature of the setting. Appropriately, just now, this view summarizes my thoughts. THE HUNTER I walk a weed path in search of my voice. There are only old tracks & far off sounds to follow. A branch snaps! I turn to face the wind, back track, lift stones where crawdads hide, shake vines, smoke hollow trees, dig at the mouth of a den, but my voice is shy. It is a wild turkey, lurking in the distance. -Rudy Thomas 31 L-PUUtWt Drawing by Linda Wilson 32 ...

Carboxyhaemoglobin levels in workers in Leicestershire garages.

Blood carboxyhaemoglobin (HbCO%) levels were measured in 61 workers in 35 garages in Leicester and Leicestershire. Of 26 workers in large garages in winter, 44% of the non-smokers and 20% of the smokers had increased CO absorption, the highest HbCO% being 26.0 in a non-smoker. Of 35 workers in 24 smaller, randomly chosen garages visited throughout the year (two per month) the corresponding figures were 43% and 14%, the highest HbCO% being 21.0. The possible relevance of these findings to coronary heart disease in garage workers is discussed.

Chalet en Aravaca - Madrid – España

The building has an original physiognomy, in the middle of the broad meadow that surrounds it. Enclosures, fences and roofs have the same texture and an identical shade of white with a green note provided by the bushes and slender cypress trees. The ground floor includes: a lobby, a livingdining room; three bedrooms, with a very complete bathroom area; kitchen; diningroom entrance; office; bedroom and service restroom. On the top floor are the study, game rooms and terraces. There is also a large garage, patios and swimming pool. The decor expresses great simplicity in lines and colors, thereby achieving remarkable harmony and elegance.

Chalet en Santa Ponsa - Mallorca (España)

When this bungalow was designed a certain functional independence was established between the living zone of the married couple, and that of the children. The top floor is taken up with the bedroom of the parents, and the social and common living zone. On the ground floor there is a playing room for the children, as well as their bedrooms, and a service bedroom. The design follows a simple outline, and is of modern conception; its main purpose being to house a large family during the summer time and at other brief periods of the year. The large garage accommodates in winter a motorboat and also serves as workshop.

San Luis Obispo, California

? AN LUIS OBISPO, a city of about 7,000 people, is situated about midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles on the Southern Pacific Railway, some five miles south of Cuesta Pass through the main ridge of the Santa Lucia Mountains (Fig. 1). Towards the north and east is mountainous grazing country; a dairy farming district lies to the northwest; to the south is an area of general farming. The city owes a considerable portion of its activities to trade with the surrounding country, especially with the general farming district to the south and the dairying district to the northwest. Among the activities closely related to the conditions of the surrounding country, the retailing and wholesaling of supplies of all kinds are of great importance. There is also an important butter-manufacturing industry based upon the supply of cream from farms in nearby areas. San Luis Obispo is the seat of the county of the same name and therefore the center of local political and governmental activities. It is, furthermore, an important educational and recreational center. San Luis Obispo would not, however, have attained its present size and importance were it not for highly significant relationships to places and conditions many miles distant. The city is an important division point on the coast line of the Southern Pacific Railway, and has important car repair shops for that railroad. It is the headquarters of the Pacific Coast Railway, a narrow gauge line operating in a rich agricultural country between Port San Luis and Los Olivos in Santa Barbara County, which adjoins San Luis Obispo County on the south. The situation of San Luis Obispo near the coast on the route of a pipeline between oil fields in the San Joaquin Valley and Port San Luis, the shipping point for oil from those fields, has caused it to be an important local headquarters for the Union Oil Company. Finally, San Luis Obispo is located on the coast highway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, and has a considerable hotel business supported by tourists traveling between those cities. These varied activities have all contributed to the growth and importance of the city and they have operated to make it a place of interesting and varied relationships. In San Luis Obispo, the old and the new mingle. The flavor of the past centers around the old adobe mission (Fig. 2), once the center of the life of the settlement. A block from the mission, Chinatown, continues as the dilapidated remains of a larger Chinese settlement. Some of the houses of the old town close around the mission are constructed in part of adobe and are quaint reminders of the past. The new order is represented by modern hotels, large garages, stores and shops, electric lights, paved streets, and a beautiful residential district. I This study is part of a study of a larger area, a summary of which appeared in The Geographical Review under the title, Land Utilization in the Santa Lucia Region. (Geog. Review, Vol. XX, July, 1930, pp. 469-479.) The geography of San Luis Obispo is based almost entirely on field work done during the summer of 1925.
