    As samevatting wil ek die volgende aanhaling van Robert Day as boodskap in julle midde laat: "There are four things that make this world go round: love, energy, materials and information. We see about us a critical shortage of the first commodity, a near-critical shortage of the second, an increasing shortage of the third, but an absolute glut of the fourth. " "We in science, of necessity, must contribute to the glut. But let us do it with love, .. , let us also do it with energy, ... , and let us husband our materials, ...

    Mapping for regions

    No full text
    The most dominant form of visualization in regional design is mapping. This chapter seeks to unravel why and how maps are used in regional design and what sort of techniques may give maps agency. The chapter seeks to explain how the textual and visual languages of regional design are interconnected, in particular through the use metaphors. The chapter also discusses what may be called ‘cartographic anxiety’: the deliberate search to define a region through clear and exact perimeters. Claiming that this is a sort of dead-end street, the chapter presents various examples of how regions have been mapped and in what way maps have contributed to the acceptance of (new) public norms about ‘possible or desirable futures’. The overall claim of the chapter is that in regional design maps form the hinge between institutional and spatial design. It is for this reason that in discourse analysis there is a need to integrate a proper analysis of the sometimes bewildering visual language of maps.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Spatial Planning and Strateg

    A better understanding of the Bible : Bible commentaries in Afrikaans

    No full text
    During the early 1920's some sporadic (and experimental) commentaries on the Bible in Afrikaans were published. However, after the Bible was translated into Afrikaans in 1933 these drops turned into a stream and soon swelled into a torrent of publications. These publications display a steady growth in Biblical understanding from a literal and even fundamentalistic interpretation to a critical exegesis of Scripture. At least three distinct phases can be demonstrated, namely a focus on the author, then on the text, and finally on the reader. Given the limited number of readers, the publication of Afrikaans commentaries in the future is faced with unique problems and decisions.http://explore.up.ac.za/record=b152516

    The futures of regional design

    No full text
    The climate crisis has grown worse, with impacts more severe, widespread, unpredictable, and what’s worse, not dealt with globally in a meaningful way. The devastating wildfires in Australia in late 2019 and the western United States of America (USA) in 2020 seemed to underscore that consensus, with tens of millions of acres, thousands of homes burned, many lives lost, including an estimated one billion animals. As humans and our constructions - roads, infrastructures, buildings - destroy and invade formerly intact habitats across the globe, species of all kinds interact in new ways. As cities have grown into metropolises, megacities, and city regions, people witness the increasing urgency to plan and manage these behemoths so that their residents can lead healthy&prosperous lives, sustainably. The contribution that regional design makes to resolving these conundrums is to highlight the relatively new arena of governance that comports with the actual spatial scale of urban phenomena now and into the future - the region.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Spatial Planning and Strateg

    De neurowetenschappen en de vrijheid van de wil

    Hersenonderzoekers en psychologen beweren tegenwoordig vaak dat de neurowetenschappen uitwijzen dat de vrije wil niet bestaat (zie bijvoorbeeld het boek van Victor Lamme uit 2010). Ik zal betogen dat deze wetenschappen dit niet uitwijzen en dat de vrije wil wel degelijk bestaat.Values and TechnologyTechnology, Policy and Managemen
