‘Installing’ A Studio-Based Collective Intelligence, Mark Cabrinha
‘Installing’ A Studio-Based Collective Intelligence, Mark Cabrinha
Architecture
Digital tools have had an undeniable influence on design intent, for better and worse. While the now common use of digital fabrication tools has reintroduced material processes with digital processes, they have also extended the seduction of formal novelty enabled by digital tools.This critical evaluation of three installation based studios considers how these tools can impact a wider environmental knowing. Rather than seeing the studio as a room of individuals, emphasized through the one-on-one deskcrit, these studio installations suggest a kind of collective-intelligence: progress by way of differentiation, integration, competition and collaboration. This challenges the notion of authorship of the …

Tilt-Up Building Seismic Design - Precast Or Cast-In Place?, Joe Steinbicker, John Lawson
Tilt-Up Building Seismic Design - Precast Or Cast-In Place?, Joe Steinbicker, John Lawson
Architectural Engineering
Tilt-up buildings have been successfully designed and constructed throughout the United States for over fifty years. Today, the tiltup method of construction is used extensively to build all types of buildings, currently at a rate of 300,000,000 square feet of tilt-up concrete panels constructed in the United States each year. Recently, with the adoption of the 2006 edition of the International Building Code (IBC) in conjunction with the ASCE 7-05 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures , there has developed some confusion over what building type should tilt-up construction be classified for the purposes of seismic design – …
Stormwater Quality And Local Government Innovation, Stacey Swearingen White, Michael R. Boswell
Stormwater Quality And Local Government Innovation, Stacey Swearingen White, Michael R. Boswell
City and Regional Planning
Local governments need innovative practices to address nonpoint source pollution, which has proven to be the Achilles heel of efforts to improve surface water quality in the United States. Studies by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) determined that 45% of assessed lakes and 39% of assessed rivers in the nation are polluted, and that agricultural and urban runoff were the primary sources of these problems (EPA, 2000, 2002). New approaches to address runoff are clearly necessary, and their success will depend on local government practices, yet we know little about how and why local governments innovate, particularly in response …

Thinking Outside The Box: New Approaches To Very Large Flexible Diaphragms, John W. Lawson
Thinking Outside The Box: New Approaches To Very Large Flexible Diaphragms, John W. Lawson
Architectural Engineering
This paper discusses the past design practices of flexible diaphragms, the current trend to very large diaphragms, and the new tools available to properly evaluate and engineer these large roof systems. Higher shear demands are accommodated by higher plywood/OSB and steel deck shear capacities accepted by the IBe. A new collective chord technique is presented to more accurately reflect large diaphragm behavior. In addition, these very large diaphragms have significant lateral deflection issues that can now be evaluated in the IBC. The new AF&PA deflection equations for wood diaphragms are presented as well as a technique to compute deflections of …

Educating The Ethical Practitioner, Marc J. Neveu
Architecture
My talk today will be about my own thoughts regarding architecture education. My intention is not dictate a method for others to follow, but rather to open up a discussion of a topic that is central to many of us. I will begin with the findings of a study made by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching on architecture education known as the Boyer Report. I will then discuss the work of Donald Schön as it supports the report’s general conclusions. Though I see much merit in Schön’s proposals as well as the assessment made by the Boyer …
Deflection Limits For Tilt-Up Wall Serviceability - The History Behind Changes To Chapter 14 Of Aci 318, John Lawson
Deflection Limits For Tilt-Up Wall Serviceability - The History Behind Changes To Chapter 14 Of Aci 318, John Lawson
Architectural Engineering
Tilt-up construction is one of the most ubiquitous forms of commercial construction in many parts of the country. Thanks to its efficient wall and roof systems, more than 700 million ft2 (65 million m2) of tilt-up buildings were constructed in the U.S. in 2006.1
Tilt-up's current popularity is even more remarkable considering that it wasn't until the 1980s that building codes began to recognize the unique design of slender tilt-up wall panels. In fact, it wasn't until ACI 318-992 was published that the design of slender wall panels was codified on a national level. Of …
Evaluating Structural Form: Is It Sculpture, Architecture Or Structure?, Edmond P. Saliklis
Evaluating Structural Form: Is It Sculpture, Architecture Or Structure?, Edmond P. Saliklis
Architectural Engineering
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the idea of a continuum between sculpture form, architectural form and structural form. A linkage between the various forms will be proposed, and several scholarly views on this subject will be presented. Then, this paper will describe a brief web-based survey which tested people’s subjective categorization of various sculptural, architectural and structural forms. The target audience of the web-based survey was college students interested in building design and high school students. Finally, this paper will analyze whether or not presenting the respondents with the idea of a proposed continuum between such forms …

The World Changed Today: A Ten Year Reflection For A Climate Changing World, Paul Wack
The World Changed Today: A Ten Year Reflection For A Climate Changing World, Paul Wack
City and Regional Planning
In this article Paul Wack offers us a reflection on two of the most important issues for the planning profession: climate change and the public’s short attention span. He starts by addressing a 1895 poem depicting an optimistic view of the future which the late musician John Denver used to recite during his concerts, and in which Paul finds much inspiration for his classes. The article also ties into the next one, titled “Hot Topic”, dealing with the same theme and originally published in the APA’s Planning magazine.

Program Assessment The Easy Way: Using Embedded Indicators To Assess Program Outcomes, Karl Fred Meyer, Allen C. Estes, Ronald W. Welch, David G. Winget
Architectural Engineering
The culminating design experience for civil engineering majors at the United States Military Academy (USMA) is CE492, Design of Structural Systems. CE492 serves as a “capstone” experience or one in which students are faced with a multi-disciplinary design project incorporating facets from all previous civil engineering courses. Previous capstone experiences have required students to design structures planned for construction or currently under construction at the Academy, thus providing an opportunity for site visitations and active participation with key players in the project development process. Since CE492 provides a multi-disciplinary experience, it also provides an ideal opportunity for the application of …
The Civil Engineering Faculty Of The Future, Allen C. Estes, Ronald Welch
The Civil Engineering Faculty Of The Future, Allen C. Estes, Ronald Welch
Architectural Engineering
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) has published the Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge (BOK) for the 21st Century that attempts to define the knowledge, skills and attitudes required of a civil engineer. A section of that document addresses who should teach this body of knowledge. It concludes that civil engineering faculty must be scholars, effective teachers, practitioners, and role models. While true, there are a number of complex issues that arise such as whether it is possible for one person to possess all of these attributes, whether such a model best serves the projected trends in civil engineering …

Two Alternative System Reliability Approaches To The Serviceability Condition Assessment Of Spillway Gate Systems On Dams, Allen C. Estes, Stuart D. Foltz
Two Alternative System Reliability Approaches To The Serviceability Condition Assessment Of Spillway Gate Systems On Dams, Allen C. Estes, Stuart D. Foltz
Architectural Engineering
Two competing methods were introduced for analyzing the condition of a structural system. The results produced by both were very different. In the weighted average approach, the system condition index will always be somewhere between the condition of the best and worst component in the system. In the traditional reliability approach, the condition index will always be lower than the condition of the worst member in a series system and higher than the condition of the best member in a parallel system. A traditional reliability approach works extremely well for a strength-based system where the importance factors of the components …

Light Motion Machines, Thomas Fowler, Iv
Light Motion Machines, Thomas Fowler, Iv
Architecture
Students worked in four teams of three to four each and were assigned the construction of a light motion machine. Teams developed devices, which were an interpretation of László Moholy-Nagy’s 1930’s Space Light Modular Machine. These machines had to have moving parts for the purpose of studying light and shadow projections in motion. László Moholy-Nagy’s Space Light Modular Machine was a mechanically driven rotating kaleidoscope projecting ever-changing patterns of light, shadow, and color. Students were provided information on Moholy-Nagy’s machine and also shown a range of interpretations students developed in a previous studio.

Planning For Water Quality: Implementation Of The Npdes Phase Ii Stormwater Program In California And Kansas, Stacey Swearingen White, Michael R. Boswell
Planning For Water Quality: Implementation Of The Npdes Phase Ii Stormwater Program In California And Kansas, Stacey Swearingen White, Michael R. Boswell
City and Regional Planning
In the United States, the federal government is increasingly relying on local governments to implement policies that address the nation's lingering environmental problems. Yet, little is known about the factors that influence local level implementation of a federal mandate. This paper explores local government response to the NPDES Phase II Stormwater Program in California and Kansas by investigating local conditions, perceptions of the federal program, and implementer characteristics. The study found that fiscal resources, a well-educated public, positive perceptions of' the federal policy, and co-operative planning efforts lead to better compliance with the mandate and a higher quality response.
