The Relationship Between Event And Facilities Management: A Case Study Of The Melbourne Cricket Ground, Linda Too, Craig Langston
The Relationship Between Event And Facilities Management: A Case Study Of The Melbourne Cricket Ground, Linda Too, Craig Langston
Linda Too
Event management and facilities management are generally regarded as two separate disciplines. However, for a number of specialised facilities this separation has become blurred. Using the Melbourne Cricket Ground as a case study, this paper identifies how much of the routine facilities planning, including maintenance, cleaning, security, refurbishment and capital improvement, are treated as events and integrated with sporting fixtures as part of the annual event calendar. It is proposed that a similar situation is occurring with other specialised facilities, such as hotels and resorts, entertainment centres and tourist venues. Given event management and facilities management share a number of …
Better Strategic Procurement For Maintaining Schools: An Australian Context, Jim Smith, Brian Wood
Better Strategic Procurement For Maintaining Schools: An Australian Context, Jim Smith, Brian Wood
Jim Smith
At the end of 2005 a school buildings maintenance audit in the state of Victoria. This audit provided details of the condition of all building elements, many sub-elements, external works and services for all government schools, together with an assessment of any immediate future works that may have been required to maintain the facilities in a serviceable condition to allow them to function effectively. The results highlighted the need to develop better models for organizing maintenance in the future to reduce the steadily increasing backlog starting to accumulate in all schools across the system.This paper provides contemporary definition and reviews …

Reinventing Airspace: Spectatorship, Fluidity, Intimacy At Pek T3., Alberto Pepe
Reinventing Airspace: Spectatorship, Fluidity, Intimacy At Pek T3., Alberto Pepe
Alberto Pepe
In this article, I explore the contemporary practice of air travel conceptualizing airports as socio-technical mobilities. Drawing both from the notion of “space” posited by Michel de Certeau and that of “non-place” by Marc Augé, I argue that the supermodern nature of air travel has generated forms of crisis that have embedded themselves in the architecture and the modus operandi of contemporary airports. Airports are necessarily located in a physical and tangible sense, yet their function is so tightly coupled with transience, mobility and spectatorship, that they bring anthropological accounts of “place” to unprecedented extremes. In this article, I analyze …
Guidelines For Spatial Regeneration In Iowa, Marwan Ghandour, Peter Goche
Guidelines For Spatial Regeneration In Iowa, Marwan Ghandour, Peter Goche
Marwan Ghandour
The natural space of Iowa was reinvented in the nineteenth century as a reflection of the rationality of capital production. This resulted in the overlay of a grid system of surveys that indiscriminately subdivided the land subduing its embodied natural and cultural characteristics. The grid provided the structure whereby farms, towns and cities were created to cover the entirety of the state and established a network of agricultural and industrial production. This modern landscape also produced the culture of the family farm, which, until the mid twentieth century, was the dominant production unit in Iowa. In the twenty first century, …
The Application Of British Neoclassical Design Principles: The Greek Island Of Kefalonia, Nicholas Patricios
The Application Of British Neoclassical Design Principles: The Greek Island Of Kefalonia, Nicholas Patricios
Nicholas Patricios
A fascinating example of taking available designs and then engaging in the act of designing new designs is the application of the British Neoclassical architectural style to new buildings in the Ionian Islands off the west coast of Greece. This occurred when Britain occupied these Islands in 1809 which then received independent status in 1815 under the British crown. It is ironical that the country that created classical architecture had neoclassical architecture introduced from the outside. The largest of the Ionian Islands, Kefalonia, provides an insightful case of the application of British neoclassical design principles to new civic buildings and …

New Urbanism As A New Modernist Movement: A Comparative Look At Modernism And New Urbanism, Clara Irazabal
New Urbanism As A New Modernist Movement: A Comparative Look At Modernism And New Urbanism, Clara Irazabal
Clara Irazabal
This article situates New Urbanism, and neotraditionalism more generally, on the ideological continuum of Modernism — as a neo-Modernist movement. By comparing the social and environmental goals of Modernism and New Urbanism as laid out in their respective charters and questioning the ability of New Urbanism to achieve its goals where Modernism failed, it offers a contextual analysis of the motivations behind the movements and their implications in practice. It then presents the cities of Brasilia, in Brazil, and Celebration, in the United States, as examples of the difficulty of putting the altruistic rhetoric of Modernism and New Urbanism, respectively, …
The Re-Emergence Of Traditional Architecture In Greece: Kefalonia And Ithaka, Nicholas Patricios
The Re-Emergence Of Traditional Architecture In Greece: Kefalonia And Ithaka, Nicholas Patricios
Nicholas Patricios
The interest in antiquities in Greece began after the conclusion of the revolution that led to independence of the country in 1832. A brief history of the legislation to protect the country’s architectural heritage is traced up to the historic landmark law of 2002 that defined the concept of cultural heritage and the re-organization of government departments to achieve the law’s objectives. Beginning in the 1920s and parallel with the protection of antiquities a movement to preserve Greek vernacular architecture was undertaken that was recognized in the landmark law of 1978. The application of the laws of protection and preservation …
Green-Switch: Reducing The Conflict Between The Industrial And The Residential Interface, Archana Sharma
Green-Switch: Reducing The Conflict Between The Industrial And The Residential Interface, Archana Sharma
Archana Sharma
The dilemma of co-existence of human-industry has been a constant topic of debate among the realms of landscape planning, many times without being clearly articulated as such. This paper examines the conflict through the study of industrial-residential domain. Natural resources such as water and land are primary reasons of conflict. The paper explores the potential of landscape design to address this conflict. The proposed landscape design strategy green-switch combines the landscape planning concept of “greenways” and applied ecological engineering concept of “constructed wetland” to address the conflict.

Phineas Paist And The Architecture Of Coral Gables, Florida, Nicholas Patricios
Phineas Paist And The Architecture Of Coral Gables, Florida, Nicholas Patricios
Nicholas Patricios
Coral Gables in South Florida is lauded as one of America's finest early 20th century planned developments. It was the vision of George Merrick, the city's founder and master builder, to create a completely planned development. The architect Phineas Paist (1875-1937) played a major role in realizing Merrick's dream for Coral Gables as "colorist," "supervisor," and "designer." To better understand Paist’s ideas, his architecture, and his contribution to the architecture of Coral Gables it is necessary to examine his education and experiences during his formative years prior to his arrival in Coral Gables.
The Politics Of Traditional Contemporary Buildings, Marwan Ghandour
The Politics Of Traditional Contemporary Buildings, Marwan Ghandour
Marwan Ghandour
This paper surveys contemporary Buildings in Lebanon that incorporate traditional Elements, as a way to deconstruct possible meanings of this dominant practice in contemporary Lebanese Architecture. I will start by discussing what is meant by tradition in relationship to building activity in Lebanon and what issues do these buildings engage. Then I will move to discuss the production of the Traditional in architectural practice. I will conclude by looking at "traditional" Contemporary buildings as thlngs around which social relations are problematized.
The Neighborhood Concept: A Retrospective Of Physical Design And Social Interaction, Nicholas Patricios
The Neighborhood Concept: A Retrospective Of Physical Design And Social Interaction, Nicholas Patricios
Nicholas Patricios
In 1929 the neighborhood concept was published separately in two forms. First was the neighborhood idea of Clarence Stein and Henry Wright, exemplified in their plan for Radburn. Second was the Neighborhood Unit idea of Clarence Perry. Since then, for the past seven decades, the concept has been applied and adapted internationally. Over this period the concepts original principles of neighborhood physical design, in both its forms, have varied with little controversy. What has been and is still an issue is the nature of the relationship between the neighborhood's physical arrangement and the social interaction among its residents. The conceptual …
Urban Design Principles Of The Original Neighborhood Concepts, Nicholas Patricios
Urban Design Principles Of The Original Neighborhood Concepts, Nicholas Patricios
Nicholas Patricios
The neighbourhood concept is arguably one of the major planning landmarks that shaped the urban form of the twentieth century city in many countries. Coincidently, both the neighbourhood idea of Clarence Stein and Henry Wright, exemplified in their plan for Radburn, and the Neighbourhood Unit idea of Clarence Perry were published in 1929. The urban design principles of Stein and Wright included the idea of a superblock of residential units grouped around a central green, the separation of vehicles and pedestrians, and a road hierarchy with culs-de-sac for local access roads. A cluster of superblocks was to form a self-contained …

Kefallinia: The Imperial Legacy Of Britain's Greek Empire, Nicholas Patricios
Kefallinia: The Imperial Legacy Of Britain's Greek Empire, Nicholas Patricios
Nicholas Patricios
Kefallinía is the largest of the seven Ionian Islands off the west coast of Greece. These Islands were for over five decades in the first half of the nineteenth century an independent state under British protection and known as the United States of the Ionian Islands. British imperial legacy in Kefallinía included an island road network that forms the basis of transport today, lighthouses, bridges, a quay, a customs house, courts of justice, a prison, a hospital, and public squares. Three men were responsible for the remarkable physical transformation of Kefallinía in the form of major civic projects and public …

International Style Diaspora: Le Corbusier's Le Groupe Transvaal, Nicholas Patricios
International Style Diaspora: Le Corbusier's Le Groupe Transvaal, Nicholas Patricios
Nicholas Patricios
The philosophy and ideas of modern architecture, labeled the international style that originated in Europe were dispersed widely around the world. The theme in this paper is the transmission of the principles of modern architecture from Western Europe to one place, the tip of Africa. The new views were introduced into South Africa as early as 1925 and were continually applied until the early 1940s when local interpretation of these new views of architecture became apparent. Although Walter Gropius and Mies van de Rohe influenced the architects designing South African buildings during the 1930s and early 1940s, Le Corbusier held …
The Architecture Of Argostoli: A Venetian Colonial New Town, Nicholas Patricios
The Architecture Of Argostoli: A Venetian Colonial New Town, Nicholas Patricios
Nicholas Patricios
Argostóli, a Venetian new town on the Ionian Island of Kefallinía, provides an example of how architecture is shaped by cultural factors. Relevant factors in the context of the Venetian occupation of Kefallinía are the political, economic, social, and ecclesiastical ones. From 1500until 1797, Kefallinía and the other Ionian Islands remained a Venetian colony. During these three centuries the Islands formed the boundary between the eastern and western worlds. While most of Greece fell under Turkish rule, the Ionian Islands were exposed to western culture through Venice. Argostóli became the new capital in 1757. The new colonial capital had no …
The Landscape Reader, Heidi M. Hohmann
The Landscape Reader, Heidi M. Hohmann
Heidi Hohmann
Hungry for knowledge, readers of Landscape architecture publications can choose from a smorgasbord of books and articles on topics as diverse as greenway design, historic plants, and the uses of plastic lumber. But once readers consume these publications, they're likely to feel as if they've ingested the literary equivalent of a bag of potato chips: sated, but not well nourished. To put it bluntly: much current landscape architectural literature lacks depth and substance. Like junk food, our professional communications keep simple metabolism going, but fail to fuel growth, change, and maturity in the profession. Moreover, lacking a spirit of open …

Transboundary environmental problems do not distinguish between political boundaries. Global warming is expected to cause thermal expansion of water and melt glaciers. Both are predicted to lead to a rise in sea level. We must enlarge our paradigms to encompass a global reality and reliance upon global participation.
Rating-Scale Methodology For Environmental Designers, Nicholas Patricios
Rating-Scale Methodology For Environmental Designers, Nicholas Patricios
Nicholas Patricios
There are many methods and techniques available to environmental designers to obtain and use information on spatial behavior, attitudes, preferences, opinions, and so on. Among them are rating-scale techniques. This paper discusses these from a particular theoretical orientation and covers the utility, concept, and an evaluation of rating scales. Three case studies are described to illustrate the application and usefulness of the graphic rating-scale technique to environmental designers.
An Agentive Perspective Of Urban Planning, Nicholas Patricios
An Agentive Perspective Of Urban Planning, Nicholas Patricios
Nicholas Patricios
An agentive model of person-environment relations is proposed based on environmental behavior research. The agentive process consists of three stages: awareness of information in the phenomenal environment; perception and cognition - construal - of the environmental information; and action in the behavioral environment. The agentive model of urban planning brings together theory and practice and would assist efforts to resolve conflicts and achieve consensus in urban planning transactions.
An Agentive Model Of Person-Environment Relations, Nicholas Patricios
An Agentive Model Of Person-Environment Relations, Nicholas Patricios
Nicholas Patricios
Three fundamentally different positions regarding the conceptualization of person‐environment relations are briefly discussed. An argument is made for the transactional‐constructivist position which regards the nature of what we take to be the environment as that which is only apprehended through the minds and actions of persons. The transformational process of this view of person‐environment relations, that of environmental knowing‐action, is elaborated upon in some detail. The transactional‐constructivist position, however, is transformed into an agentive one by adopting from the three basic images of persons that have been identified that of a person as agent. Consequently in the agentive process of …
The Conceptual Determinants Of Two Archetypal City Forms, Nicholas Patricios
The Conceptual Determinants Of Two Archetypal City Forms, Nicholas Patricios
Nicholas Patricios
The two urban spatial forms analyzed from a cosmological point of view are the circular and the orthogonal. The circular symbolism of the Near Eastern cities is considered first followed by the Plato's theoretical city of Atlantis and then the ideal cities of the Renaissance architects. Circular cities of the 19th century, those of the Utopian Socialists, had in contrast an ideological basis. In addition to the practical basis for the orthogonal layout conceptual influences are evident in the grid cities of the ancient Greeks, in the Spanish Laws of the Indies, and those cities designed later to express the …
