MOVEMENT IN THE CONCEPTUAL 20TH CENTURY ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISM
No full textArtykuł opisuje zależność pomiędzy XX wiecznymi utopijnymi koncepcjami architektonicznymi zestawionymi z współcześnie realizowanymi obiektami lub prototypami, poprzez analizy wykorzystania ruchu w sztuce, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem rzeźby i architektury. Ruch i dynamika od zawsze stanowiły element, który fascynował człowieka. Ruch pojawia się najpierw w rzeźbie za sprawą Marcela Duchampa, w ślad z jego dziełami idą między innymi Alexander Calder i George Ricky. Dopiero później architekci dostrzegają w nim element mogący zmienić sposób tworzenia i myślenia o architekturze. Jednym z pierwszych, którzy twierdzą, że architekturę i rzeźbę należy traktować jako tożsame, jedynie zróżnicowane skalą jest László Moholy-Nagy. Celem pracy jest opisanie oraz próba analizy podstaw idei ruchu w utopijnych koncepcjach architektonicznych i urbanistycznych XX wieku. Autor przedstawia reprezentatywne przykłady, a za takie uznaje teorie Yony Friedmana, japoński Metabolizm oraz koncepcje Archigramu. Zestawia je ze współcześnie realizowanymi obiektami lub prototypami - apartamentem Garego Changa i Muscle NSA autorstwa ONL. Praca stanowi próbę poszukiwania analogii pomiędzy wyżej wymienionymi koncepcjami, a współcześnie stosowanymi rozwiązaniami. Autor zauważa, że współcześni architekci bardzo chętnie wykorzystują, po odpowiednich modyfikacjach i doprecyzowaniu, koncepcje powstałe wcześniej jako wyłącznie utopijnie wizje.Article describes the relationship between utopian ideas of the twentieth century juxtaposed with contemporary architectural structures or prototypes through the analysis of the use of movement in art, focusing on sculpture and architecture. Motion and dynamics have always been part of what has fascinated humans. The movement appears first in sculpture through Marcel Duchamp, he is followed by Alexander Calder and George Ricky. Afterwards architects saw in movement an element that could change the way of thinking about development of contemporary architecture. One of the first who claim that the architecture and sculpture should be regarded as the same, the only difference being the scale, was László Moholy-Nagy. Main aim of this study is to describe and attempt to analyse the basis of the idea of utopian movement in architecture and urban planning concepts of the twentieth century. The author presents representative examples for the theories considering Yona Friedman, Japanese Metabolism and Archigram concepts and comparing them with contemporary objects or prototypes, for example Gary Chang apartment and ONL’s Muscle NSA. The work is an attempt to seek analogies between the above-mentioned concepts and solutions used today. The author notes that contemporary architects are eager to use the concepts of earlier utopian visions
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
THE DEVELOPMENT OF TOOL DESIGN AND USE OF MOVEMENT IN ARCHITECTURE
No full textArtykuł analizuje zależność pomiędzy rozwojem narzędzi projektowych, a wykorzystaniem ruchu w architekturze. W pierwszej części zaprezentowane zostały metody projektowe stosowane współcześnie w architekturze kinematycznej. Wyróżniamy tu projektowanie animacyjne, projektowanie generatywne, projektowanie parametryczne oraz inteligentne systemy adaptacyjne. W zależności od stosowanych metod projektowych uzyskujemy różnego rodzaju formy ruchu. Zróżnicowanie to wpływa również na ostateczne efekty funkcjonalnoprzestrzenne. W pracy przebadane zostały zależności pomiędzy narzędziami projektowymi, a powodem zastosowania ruchu. Autor analizuje dwa powody zastosowania ruchu: estetyczny oraz funkcjonalny. Przeprowadzone badania wykazują, że wraz z rozwojem stosowanych narzędzi projektowych, wzrasta poziom skomplikowania ruchu obiektów. Wraz z rozwojem technik projektowych ruch obiektów architektonicznych stał się zjawiskiem bardziej powszechnym. Jednak najistotniejsze jest, że wzrost jego złożoności sprawia, że uzyskujemy ciekawsze pod względem formalnym i funkcjonalnym formy. Architektura, którą kreujemy w ten sposób, staje się wieloznaczna, fascynuje współczesnego odbiorcę.The article analyses the relationship between the development of design tools and the use of movement in architecture. In the first part design methods used today in kinetic architecture were presented. In kinetic design such methods are being used: animation design, generative design, parametric design and intelligent adaptive systems. Depending on the design methods we obtain different forms of movement, this diversity also affects the final functional and spatial effects. This paper has examined the relationship between design tools, the reason for implementation of movement. The author analyses the two main reasons for the use of movement, distinguishing between aesthetic and functional. The following study concerns the impact of design tools used in the kind of movement. Research shows that with the development of used design tools, increases the complexity of the movement. The development of the means of movement in architectural buildings has become increasingly common phenomenon. However, it is essential that the increase in its complexity makes it get more interesting in terms of formal and functional effect. Architecture that we create in this way, becomes more complex and therefore fascinating for contemporary customer
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
