Increasingly landscape architects, garden designers, and healthcare professionals are asked to create gardens that meet the physical, psychological, emotional, and social needs of a wide range of users. Landscape architect Daniel Winterbottom and occupational therapist Amy Wagenfeld present a collaborative approach that successfully translates the evidence-based principles of therapeutic design into practice using case studies from around the world. This practical guide demonstrates how gardens support learning, movement, well-being, and mental and psychological health. This second edition has been thoroughly updated throughout to include pandemic and mental health design, trauma responsive design, designing for neurodivergence, and more. Beautifully designed with over 250 color images throughout, it also includes chapter introductions, summaries, case studies, and personal vignettes. This book is essential for professionals and students in landscape architecture, planning, design, healthcare, and mental health fields.

This third edition of Designing Tall Buildings is an enhanced and accessible reference that guides the reader through the fundamental principles of designing high-rise buildings.This new edition includes four new chapters, including initial concepts for tall building design, techniques for optimization, considerations for carbon and the use of alternative materials such as timber. The third edition also includes 300 additional illustrations, and current code requirements and equations. Each chapter focuses on a theme central to tall-building design, giving a comprehensive overview of the related architectural and structural engineering concepts. Author Mark Sarkisian, PE, SE, NAE, LEED, provides clear definitions of technical terms and important equations, gradually developing the reader's knowledge. Projects drawn from SOM's vast portfolio of built high-rises, many of which Sarkisian engineered, demonstrate these concepts. The book considers the influence of particular site geology, wind conditions, and seismicity. With this contextual knowledge, the reader can develop structural systems best suited for a tower that are not only safe, but constructible and economical. Sarkisian specifically addresses the influence of nature in design, urging the integration of structure and architecture for building of superior performance, sustainability, and aesthetic excellence.This third edition is a must-have reference for students and designers.

The book shows how FinTech has evolved and will drive the future of financial services. It sheds new light on disruption, innovation and opportunity by placing the financial technology revolution in larger contexts. After an introductory chapter, chapters 2-12 present a necessary background of economics and finance as well as selected Fintech companies that are active in specific markets. Chapters 13-17 then broaden the scope to discuss the financing of startups; FinTech activity in hubs outside of the United States; financial regulation; negative impacts of FinTech on some social issues; and finally, responses of the Big Financial Institutions to the FinTech disruption. FinTech and the Remaking of Financial Institutions, Second Edition is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals alike who need to understand the latest emerging FinTech technologies, how they’re used in finance, how they are regulated, and the societal implications.

Fintech and the Remaking of Financial Institutions

Digital Culture & Society

Technologies and technological futures are always socially situated, relational, and enmeshed in (dominant) narratives of societal sense-making, which have the power to bring future ideas into material existence. The issue brings together articles exploring popular techno-futures from international and interdisciplinary perspectives, including cultural and media studies, science and technology studies, and related disciplines. The contributors decenter the discussion on socio-technical futures and the role of popular culture, aesthetics and media in their (re)production by focusing on societal tech-future discourses from global popular perspectives.

Welche Handlungsspielräume haben wir in einer Welt, die zunehmend von Künstlicher Intelligenz geprägt wird? Was kommt auf uns zu? Dieses Buch lädt dazu ein, unsere Zukunft in einer von KI geprägten Welt bewusst zu reflektieren. Arbeitsplatzverlust, Diskriminierung, Manipulation, Cyberangriffe und das endgültige Verschwinden von Privatsphäre sind nur der Anfang, denn KI wird unser Mensch-Sein an sich in Frage stellen.
Eine unregulierte KI wird unsere Wahrnehmung immer tiefer in virtuelle Metaversen entführen, aus denen es kein Zurück mehr gibt. Sie verändert nicht nur unsere mentalen Lebenswelten, sondern auch unsere Physis. Wenn Menschen durch Body-Enhancement KI-gesteuerte Zusatzfunktionen in ihre Körper integrieren und Roboter mit biologischen Komponenten ausgerüstet werden, verschwimmen die Grenzen zwischen Mensch und Maschine. Wir werden zu Cyborgs – aus Science-Fiction wird eine vorhersehbare Realität.
Um diese Entwicklungen wissenschaftlich, gesellschaftspolitisch und ethisch einzuordnen, begeben wir uns auf eine kulturhistorische Reise, die von der Antike bis in ein vielleicht gar nicht mehr so fernes Morgen führt.
