A showcase of Britain's most astonishing examples of High-Tech buildings from the late twentieth century and beyond. Like the Lotus Esprit, the Atari home computer and the sounds of the Roland TR-808 drum machine, the glossy colour, clip-on components and bristling silhouettes of High-Tech architecture provide a polaroid snapshot of 1980s modernity. High-Tech was an international style forged in Britain, taking inspiration from Victorian engineering and science fiction alike. Geraint Franklin traces its trajectory from 1960s radicalism to the global mainstream, taking in such late 20th-century landmarks as the Lloyds building, the Sainsbury Centre, the Schlumberger Cambridge Research Centre and the Eden Project in Cornwall.High-Tech Britain&nbsp;revisits the work of the 'big four' practices of Norman Foster, Richard Rogers, Michael and Patty Hopkins and Nicolas Grimshaw. From their teams emerged a younger generation of designers including Eva Ji¿i¿ná, Ian Ritchie, Richard Horden and Jan Kaplický who took the language in new directions. Alongside are profiled lesser-known stories such as the Patera kit building quietly rusting in London's Docklands and the workshop at Hooke Park, Dorset, engineered from waste wood. Illustrated with new photography by John East, High-Tech Britain&nbsp;is an authoritative survey of the most groundbreaking examples of this extraordinary moment in British architecture.'An essential guide to the big, shiny style that ruled modern Britain.' - Rowan Moore'How did buildings as bright and light as 8-bit computer games and eighties sports cars come to dominate our urban landscape? Geraint Franklin tells a fast-paced design story beside John East's glorious images, full of fun palaces, floating canopies and facades of gleaming perfection.' - John Grindrod'This is a book that is about more than nostalgia. It reminds us that there was a time when the future of architecture was full of possibilities.' - Deyan Sudjic'Geraint Franklin deftly summarises the architectural and engineering revolution of high-tech,&nbsp;exploring its roots, and setting its British-designed examples in a global context. He explains its 21st century transition into an ecologically aware movement that remains true to its original fascination with unconventional materials and kit-of-parts construction.' - Hugh Pearman'High-Tech is that most British of architectural fetishes, a collision of Victorian engineering and comic strip sci-fi, it was the UK's major contribution to modernism.&nbsp; This survey takes in the whole range of High Tech, from trad to rad, a wonderful homage to a period still surprisingly fragile and endangered.' - Edwin Heathcote

Product Wheel is a scheduling strategy that has practical, well-proven methods for enabling operations managers to find the optimum balance between inventory, operating cost, and customer service, particularly useful in high-mix process operations. They do so in a way that increases throughput to either increase revenue or reduce operating cost while providing a structured, repeatable manufacturing platform that reduces plant floor chaos. DuPont, Exxon Mobil, Dow Chemical, and Litehouse Foods are just a few companies that have used the product wheel concept to achieve and sustain a competitive advantage.Breaking down a fairly complex design process into manageable steps, The Product Wheel Handbook: Creating Heijunka in High-Mix Process Operations, 2nd Edition walks readers through the process for designing, implementing, and maintaining the product wheel technique. It describes each step in detail based on a case study taken from actual practice.This book:<ul> <li>Provides clear, practical guidance on how to balance the trade-offs encountered in implementing any scheduling strategy</li> <li>Describes how product wheels satisfy the lean goal of production levelling, Heijunka, in a much more comprehensive way</li> <li>Defines the cultural foundation necessary for smooth product wheel design and implementation</li> <li>Describes how product wheel design places appropriate emphasis on people engagement and empowerment as well as on process and technology</li> </ul>Many of the steps in wheel design described in this book are not new. What is new is a proven road map explaining how to apply them in an integrated, holistic manner, starting with a thorough understanding of material flow and equipment performance coupled with product characteristics and requirements. The result is a disciplined scheduling structure that will allow you to spend less of your time firefighting and more time in higher valued, more productive work. More importantly it provides your organization with a stable platform to deal with abnormal events in a less stressful and more logical manner.This second edition benefits from the additional perspectives, experiences, and insights gained through the past thirteen years of product wheel design and implementation in a wider range of companies and industry sectors.<ul> <li>It describes some of the advanced scheduling systems that have evolved over the past dozen years, how to take advantage of them, and when traditional tools like Excel are still appropriate and the better choice</li> <li>It details a dozen examples of the successes and benefits that various companies have achieved with product wheels. The Supply Chain Vice Presidents and Operations Directors describe in their own words the impact that product wheels have had on their operations</li> </ul>

This edited book aims to provide a collection of scientific evidence on gender issues in the construction industry that contributes to discussions on equality, gender diversity, and inclusion in the built environment; it also provides baseline data for policy design and future research on women in the built environment.Presenting research findings from Africa, India, and Australia, the aims of this book are broad and it begins with an assessment of the gender-based challenges in the construction sector from the perspective of two generations of women. It goes on to discuss the issues affecting the recruitment and career progression of women in construction and also to proffer solutions to the low turnout of women in the construction industry. Further chapters cover issues on the retention and persistence of women in the sector despite the perceived gender-rooted challenges. Research into female leadership in the construction industry is also presented in this book with specific focus on the management of construction sites, quantity surveying practice, and digital leadership. This book ends with a discussion on the impact of gender consideration on the sustainability of construction businesses, accessibility of housing finance, and infrastructure provisions such as markets.The research in this book is key reading for scholars of construction management, gender studies, and DEI and the workplace.

 fängt die Essenz der architektonischen Praxis des Büros Leers Weinzapfel Associates (LWA) in Boston ein. Das Buch befasst sich mit den Schwerpunkten des Schaffens von LWA: die Kraft des Ortes, das Machen, menschliche Bedürfnisse und die integrale Verbindung der drei Felder in Architektur. Als traditionelle Monografie rückt es Projekte und Bauten zusammen mit kurzen Texten von Gastautor:innen in den Vordergund. Andererseits ist der Band auch Selbstporträt, eine persönliche Erzählung, in der die kollaborative Praxis von LWA als laufendes Kontinuum erforscht wird.
 Diese zweite Monografie von Leers Weinzapfel Associates seit Gründung des Büros 1982 präsentiert fünfzehn seit 2011 entstandene Entwürfe anhand von Fotografien, Plänen, Zeichnungen sowie begleitenden Texten und Kommentaren. Beiträge prominenter Architekturkolleg:innen - darunter Jeanne Gang, Thom Mayne und Adele Santos - sowie ein Gespräch über Massivholzbau runden diesen Band ab, in dem der Titel (irgendwo, irgendetwas, irgendjemand) auch als Organisationsprinzip verstanden werden kann.

Kulturerbe Konstruktion

Angestoßen durch die Entwicklung neuer Baustoffe wie Stahl und Stahlbeton und ermöglicht durch immer zuverlässigere ingenieurwissenschaftliche Modelle strebten Konstrukteure in der Hochmoderne (etwa 1880-1970) wie nie zuvor nach immer größeren Weiten und Höhen bei gleichzeitiger Minimierung des Materialeinsatzes. Dem Erkunden struktureller Grenzen am Limit des Möglichen stand die zunehmende Eingrenzung in kodifizierte Limits des Zulässigen durch wachsende Regelungsapparate gegenüber. Der Band versammelt unterschiedliche Beiträge zu den Praktiken, Denkmustern und Haltungen von Konstrukteuren im Spannungsfeld dieser gegensätzlichen Facetten hochmodernen Konstruierens. Den neuartigen Zugang zur jüngeren Baugeschichte ergänzen Erkundungen zu den Kontinuitäten und Brüchen hochmodernen Effizienzdenkens im heutigen Bauwesen.

Bauen am Limit

From an acclaimed architect and investigator, a devastating, meticulous account of the history of Israel's destruction of Gaza 'Urgent and essential' DAVID WENGROW 'Extraordinary' ILAN PAPPÉ Eyal Weizman is one of the world's leading experts on the relationship between violence, conflict and the environment, both built and natural. As director of the organisation Forensic Architecture, he and his team of interdisciplinary researchers document acts of state crimes and human rights violations around the world. Since 2023, the group has worked to produce evidence for the International Court of Justice's genocide case against Israel. In this revelatory new project, Weizman draws on that research to bring us on an eye-opening journey across time and into the 'deep cartography' of the area extending from Gaza's subterranean tunnels through to its militarised topography, its unique soil, settlements and barriers. He catalogues, in unflinching and forensic detail, the Israeli campaigns of violence and displacement that have reshaped the region in an effort to make Gaza and its surrounding areas unliveable. Taking us through the broader geographic and historical context, from the Nakba in 1948 to the present day, Ungrounding establishes that architectural and territorial analysis is key to understanding the relationship between coloniser and colonised - and how Israel's actions after 7 October escalated into violence so extreme and so far-reaching as to, Weizman argues, meet the definition of genocide. Deeply informative and profoundly affecting in its scope and precision, and illustrated with dozens of original images, maps and diagrams, Ungrounding is an essential document of atrocity in our time.

In an era where evidence-based policymaking defines the credibility of governance, Value of Statistical Life in India offers a landmark contribution to the economics of risk, labour welfare, and regulatory design. This ground-breaking volume presents one of the most rigorous empirical estimations of the Value of Statistical Life (VSL) in the Indian context, addressing a critical gap in public policy analytics.Focusing on occupational risks within India's manufacturing sector-particularly in Gujarat- the book systematically examines compensating wage differentials (CWD), insurance mechanisms, and Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) frameworks. Through advanced econometric modelling and a global meta-analysis using mixed-effects regression techniques, the authors situate Indian VSL estimates within international standards, aligning domestic policy discourse with practices in developed economies such as the United States.Transcending descriptive analysis, the book offers a robust analytical foundation for cost-benefit evaluation, regulatory impact assessment, environmental risk governance, and labour protection reforms. By advocating the institutional adoption of VSL as a cornerstone of policy appraisal, it provides a transformative framework for integrating economic valuation into safety and health legislation.Scholarly, in depth and strategic in relevance, this volume is indispensable for academics, policymakers, multilateral agencies, and regulatory authorities committed to strengthening risk governance and advancing labour welfare in emerging economies.

How Artificial Intelligence Became the New Foundation of Global Industry

THE INDUSTRIAL MIND

'This biography restores Gaudí to life as one of the most original architects of all time...Stanford shows how the Catalan genius put his soul into everything he did.' Blake Morrison 'This riveting portrait brings together as a compelling whole the triumphs and the tragedies of Gaudí's life.' Antonia Fraser 'In daring to trace the complex connections between Gaudí's religious faith and his famous buildings, this is an enriching, nuanced book.' Tobias Jones Antoni Gaudí's architecture is among the world's most instantly recognisable sights. His still unfinished basilica, La Sagrada Família welcomes five million visitors annually. Yet in this the centenary year of his death, knocked down in the street by a tram, mistaken for a tramp and spending his last hours in a paupers' hospital, much about this unworldly genius remains a mystery, not least the source of inspiration to create extraordinary buildings that stand in a place of honour of their own in the canon of architecture. His explanation - that the fount of his imagination was God - sits uncomfortably alongside his modern-day fame in a secular world that nonetheless celebrates him. In reconnecting Gaudí's peerless architecture with the highs and lows of his faith, Peter Stanford walks in his footsteps through Barcelona, retracing his life through the buildings, parks and landscapes he admired and those that he created. Join him on Gaudí's journey from the Catalan countryside, where his love affair with nature began, to becoming a celebrated figure in the booming industrial city of Barcelona, with its extremes of rich and poor - and its undercurrent of violence and anti-clericalism that almost left La Sagrada Família an unfinished folly. Tragedy, loss and depression stalked his life, but reinforced his belief that his work was a religious vocation, prompting contemporary moves by the Vatican towards declaring him a saint.
