Amsterdam Zuid Station: Place of transitional moments of life
No full textTransition Transition is to me the essence of Amsterdam Zuid Station. Transition between the station and its surroundings, between the Mahlerplein and Zuidplein. People living, people arriving, people just passing by people staying Train stations lead us from a place to another, becoming an important medium not only on an infrastructural level but also on a public and social level. Amsterdam Zuid station positioning is a crucial place of connection to the social tissue of the area. In fact, the station, in-between the two main squares, act as a bridge in a ‘river’ of railways that divide the area in two. Moreover, a new residential area and student housing will soon animate the direct surroundings. So, the project almost anatomically orchestrates the movement that characterize a station but simultaneously it defines a sequence of spaces that accompany those transitional moments that typify the place. The edges define places to move places to stay in relation to the context, the north and south atriums introduce to the interior, the passage rhythm and displace the flow, the platforms guest farewells and arrivals. The sound and light accompany the transition too. From the sound of the open public squares, to the whistling of train rails. From the reflection and transparency of the skyscrapers of the area, to the filtered light underneath the mass of railways structure. The monumentality, mass and at the same time the relatively low height of the project, compared to the high-rises is chosen to enact the experience of the place trying to leaving a collective memory and awareness of the place.ArchitectureArchitecture and The Built Environmen
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

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

The graduation studio Public Interior focuses on improving the interior atmosphere of a public space, as a place where people gather together and consume. The project is a urban infrastructure, a landscape mark and an interior design for Zuidas, making it a more interesting place.Public InteriorArchitectureArchitecture and The Built Environmen
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
