Colin Ward and the Art of Everyday Anarchy
No full textColin Ward and the Art of Everyday Anarchy is the first full account of Ward’s life and work. Drawing on unseen archival sources, as well as oral interviews, it excavates the worlds and words of his anarchist thought, illuminating his methods and charting the legacies of his enduring influence. Colin Ward (1924–2010) was the most prominent British writer on anarchism in the 20th century. As a radical journalist, later author, he applied his distinctive anarchist principles to all aspects of community life including the built environment, education, and public policy. His thought was subtle, universal in aspiration, international in implication, but, at the same time, deeply rooted in the local and the everyday. Underlying the breadth of his interests was one simple principle: freedom was always a social activity. This book will be of interest to students, scholars, and general readers with an interest in anarchism, social movements, and the history of radical ideas in contemporary Britain

L’educazione incidentale, gli adolescenti e Colin Ward: ripensando le comunità
No full textPaul Goodman e Colin Ward sono due pensatori anarchici che hanno posto molta attenzione agli adolescenti nelle loro riflessioni pedagogiche. Partendo dalla lezione di Colin Ward sull’educazione incidentale, è possibile oggi provare a costruire aree dentro/fuori la scuola che possano costituire per gli adolescenti palestre per una educazione all’autodeterminazione sociale. Gli spazi di una educazione incidentale oggi possono essere pensati solo riconducendo l’educazione al suo senso di pratica sociale diffusa, agita sui confini della vita materiale di una comunità e dei bisogni da essa espressi
L’educazione incidentale, gli adolescenti e Colin Ward: ripensando le comunità
No full textPaul Goodman and Colin Ward were the anarchist thinkers who paid more attention to adolescents in their pedagogical reflections. Starting from Colin Ward’s lesson on incidental education, it is possible to try today to build areas inside or outside the school that can be used by teen-agers as gyms for an education in social self-determination. The space of an accidental education in the present time can be thought of only by bringing education to its sense of widespread social practice acted on the boundaries of the material life of a community and of the needs expressed by it.Riassunto: Paul Goodman e Colin Ward sono due pensatori anarchici che hanno posto molta attenzione agli adolescenti nelle loro riflessioni pedagogiche.

A model study of coastal breakwaters the performance of seabee armour units
No full textOur coasts are open to attack from the oceans. There are many options open to the engineer attempting to limit the damage to our coastline. This work tested the Seabee, a particular variety of concrete armour unit, for use on sea walls, breakwaters and revetments. The research was performed in a regular wave channel with a level bed 13m long, side walls of 465 mm (extended to 650 mm in the region of the model) and a width of 455 mm. A constant water depth of 300 mm was maintained throughout. The research explored the influence of the fundamental design parameters of the Seabee unit on run-up and reflection performance.By careful selection of wave climate it was possible to generate regular, well formed waves which covered both the desired range of wave steepness and Surf Similarity for slopes of 1:1.5, 1:2.1, 1:2.4, 1:2.6 and 1:3.6. Measurement of reflection and run-up was by means of capacitance probes attached to a PC based data logging system. Data analysis programs were written which run under Matlab®.Smooth, non-porous slopes were tested at each gradient as well as monotonic Seabee arrays at an assumed model scale of 1:20. The unit heights tested were 0.52 m , 0.68 m, 0.88 m and 0.96 m with an axial bore of 0.65 m. A layout was devised utilising units of different heights in an ordered pattern, called an upstand array.Tests of smooth slope run-up demonstrated good agreement with the generally accepted empirical models, including prediction of wave breaking. Two mathematical models were derived which fitted the observed run-up and run-down on the Seabee arrays with very good correlation. Statistical analysis showed that the run-up performance of the Seabee unit is largely dependent upon the unit aspect ratio - the taller units exhibiting greater run-up. The same models were fitted to the upstand layout which showed considerably reduced run-up. The performance of the Seabee was shown to compare well that that of other armour types. In addition, a constant relative roughness factor was shown to be unsuitable for predicting run-up on Seabees.</p
