Alfred E. Eckes, Jr. & Thomas W. Zeiler. Globalization and the American Century.
No full textDepuis quelques années, la mondialisation est l’objet de bien des études et suscite nombre de controverses. Ces deux professeurs d’histoire (Eckes de l’université d’Ohio et Zeiler de celle du Colorado) se sont irrités de cette vision très contemporaine et, dans le présent ouvrage, ils démontrent selon un plan chronologique que le transfert de fonds et la volonté américaine d’ouvrir des marchés soutiennent la politique de leur pays depuis la fin du XIXe siècle. Mais on ne peut parler de mondia..

The difference in communication between architects and engineers and the effectiveness within integral design
No full textWithin the building industry there is a clear need for more sustainable solutions, with as ultimate goal energy positive buildings. This makes building design more complex. Building design transfers from a mainly architect led process into a multi-disciplinary design team process to cope with the growing complexity of the design tasks. A supportive design method was developed in cooperation with the Dutch professional organizations of architects and consulting engineers. The design method provides overview and helps to structure the communication between design team members. The design method is focused on the creation of proposals in the conceptual phase of building design. After testing the method in workshops as part of a training program in industry, the design method was transferred and applied at the department of architecture for master students for their multidisciplinary Master project Integral Design. In the last eight years each time a Master Projects Integral design was held in which altogether in total around nearly 200 students participated from 5 different disciplines: architecture, structural engineering, building physics, building technology and building services. The location and the type of building of the design brief changes every year but the goal of the design project remains the same: to design a net Zero Energy Building. There is a continuous evaluation and development of the supportive guidance as well as the teaching approach. The design method provides overview and helps to structure the communication and reflection between design team members. The application of the design method was focused on sustainability and the creation of new sustainable solutions in the conceptual phase of building design. Important aspect of the workshop is a two-day workshop as a start-up for the project. The set-up of the workshops makes it possible to make comparisons between the role of the architectural students and the engineering students within the workshops, their effectiveness and the way they are communicating through the provided tool during the workshops sessions: the morphological overview. A comparison is made between the way of communication (words, sketches or a combination of both) of architects and engineers and the effectiveness of the communication about the proposals to be accepted by the design team
Duflexpronovatie : duurzame flexibele proces innovatie : perfecte combinatie architectuur en techniek
No full textHet project betreft het ontwerp in samenwerking met architectenbureau Van den Broek en Bakema. Het S.O. (schetsontwerp) is door Emile Quanjel samen met Wim Zeiler gemaakt, terwijl het V.O. (voorontwerp) en D.O. (definitief ontwerp) door Erik van Eck samen met Ben Lops is gemaakt. Het project is gericht op het creëren van een duurzaam, flexibel en energiezuinig kantoor met een mensvriendelijke uitstraling en beleving.
Binnen het project is gestreefd naar maximale prefabricage om zodoende montage lokaal te beperken, zomin mogelijk materiaal te gebruiken en de afvalstroom op de bouwplaats te minimaliseren. Door de flexibiliteit als uitgangspunt te nemen kan het gebouw
gedeeltelijk of geheel gedemonteerd en weer opnieuw in een andere configuratie worden opgebouwd

Design Collaboration and Team Working
No full textOne of the core problems within construction industry is knowledge exchange between the different participants during the design- and engineering process (Lechner 1991, Cross 1992, Reymen 2001, van Aken 2005). To link the parts of the knowledge-triangle practice, education and research forms the basis for possible solutions - in the context of the building design-engineering (Quanjel a. Zeiler 2003). This context can be represented by the Product-Process-Organization model (Bax a. Trum 2000). At the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (TU/e) in collaboration with TNO Built Environment and Geosciences, first experiments to find a format for supporting Design Collaboration, started in 2000. Set up where training workshops for the members of BNA/ONRI (Royal Dutch Organization of Architects / Dutch Organization of Advisory Consultants), for design- teams including participants with the same educational background. More recent, a firs set up was done for design teams with participants with different educational backgrounds. These quasi-experiments (Campell a. Stanley 1971) are coupled on the basis of a concrete task from the practice and the PhD-research EURACTIVE ROOFer by E. Quanjel at the TU/e-TNO. The objective of this project is to improve the knowledge exchange between design participants of active roofs in product development as part of the total building design and its comfort-systems. Salter and Gann (2002) found that face-to-face interaction and the use of sketching are still the most important elements for developing new ideas and solving problems. Given this aspect and the characteristics of the problem definition, a methodology to support the design team during the development of the building design is introduced. This method is based on the Methodical design methodology; a matrix orientated approach used in the mechanical engineering domain (van den Kroonenberg 1978). Within the setting of Methodical Design several design-support tools are used: the Morphological Overview and the Kesselring method (Zwicky 1969, Kesselring 1954). These practical tools from the theoretical method are connected with the design practice, as reflexive practice, through quasi-experiments for architects and roofer engineers (Schoen 1983). The experiments will be done in a serial with feed-back; the Kesselring-method as well as the results of the quasi experiments itself. To distinguish the knowledge-exchange aspects, Bales' Interaction Process Analysis model is used (Bales 1950, Emmit a. Gorse, 2007). The result of these experiments is a design decision support tool for both architects and roofer-engineers in the setting of Collaborative Desig
