An Introduction To Building Contracts: An Irish Context, Tony Cunningham
An Introduction To Building Contracts: An Irish Context, Tony Cunningham
Other Resources
A contract is an agreement which is capable of being enforced at law and whose essential characteristic is that of a bargain. Contract law focuses predominantly on commercial transactions and in the construction context these range from simple every-day transactions such as purchasing a box of nails to procuring multi-million euro building facilities. In Ireland construction clients typically engage designers and quantity surveyors to formulate designs and they subsequently contract with building contractors to construct the designs. The contractors, in turn, typically outsource much of the work to subcontractors and order materials from numerous suppliers. All of these activities involve …
Spatial Translations And Embodied Bilingualism: Defining The Migrant's Experience From An Architectural Perspective, Caroline Rabourdin
Spatial Translations And Embodied Bilingualism: Defining The Migrant's Experience From An Architectural Perspective, Caroline Rabourdin
CALL: Irish Journal for Culture, Arts, Literature and Language
As a bilingual writer and architect, my research is practice-based and multidisciplinary. In pulling together theories and practices about Space, Language and the Body, my aim is to develop a notion of Embodied Bilingualism. If the word ‘translate’ is to move something from one place to another, as architectural historian Robin Evans explains, then one needs to understand its pure and unconditional existence as a geometrical construct in the first place in order to fully appreciate the workings of linguistic translation. In this paper, language is considered as an embodied practice, which for the bilingual migrant leads to considerations about …
Citizen-Led Urban Agriculture And The Politics Of Spatial Reappropriation In Montreal, Quebec, Claire Emmanuelle Bach
Citizen-Led Urban Agriculture And The Politics Of Spatial Reappropriation In Montreal, Quebec, Claire Emmanuelle Bach
Dissertations and Theses
Urban Agriculture (UA) has been practiced in Montreal, Quebec for well over a century. In the last five years or so, a renewed enthusiasm for UA has manifested itself in the form of citizen-led UA projects. The latter are often established in residual spaces, from vacant lots to sidewalks, and alleyways. These more spontaneous and informal UA practices point to a shift in how urban inhabitants perceive and use urban space. Through a case study of informal UA projects in Montreal, QC, this work brings attention to the dynamics surrounding the establishment of citizen-led UA projects, paying special attention to …

Dermal Uptake Directly From Air Under Transient Conditions: Advances In Modeling And Comparisons With Experimental Results For Human Subjects, G. C. Morrison, C. J. Weschler, G. Bekö
Dermal Uptake Directly From Air Under Transient Conditions: Advances In Modeling And Comparisons With Experimental Results For Human Subjects, G. C. Morrison, C. J. Weschler, G. Bekö
Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
To better understand the dermal exposure pathway, we enhance an existing mechanistic model of transdermal uptake by including skin surface lipids (SSL) and consider the impact of clothing. Addition of SSL increases the overall resistance to uptake of SVOCs from air but also allows for rapid transfer of SVOCs to sinks like clothing or clean air. We test the model by simulating di-ethyl phthalate (DEP) and di-n-butyl phthalate (DnBP) exposures of six bare-skinned (Weschler et al. 2015, Environ. Health Perspect., 123, 928) and one clothed participant (Morrison et al. 2016, J. Expo. Sci. Environ. Epidemiol., 26, 113). The model predicts …
The Shenzhen Activist Program`, Hyunggyu Kim, Jae Hyun Kim
The Shenzhen Activist Program`, Hyunggyu Kim, Jae Hyun Kim
Architecture Senior Theses
There is a gap between being an architecture student in western countries and working as an architect in underrepresented communities. Architect Teddy Cruz defines the role of an activist architect as "expanded mode of practice", and the task of "deigning the protocols or the interfaces between communities and spaces".
This thesis contends that architecture schools need to continue to embrace the widely-accepted norm of studios studying abroad and working in an international studio. Current study abroad programs tend to skew towards being touristic field trips and there is not a curriculum or programmatic investment in cultivating relationships between the visiting …

Shear Wave Velocity And Its Anisotropy Of Polymer Modified High-Volume Class-F Fly Ash-Kaolinite Mixtures, X. Kang, B. Bate
Shear Wave Velocity And Its Anisotropy Of Polymer Modified High-Volume Class-F Fly Ash-Kaolinite Mixtures, X. Kang, B. Bate
Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
This study investigated the effects of polymers on the small-strain stiffness behavior of high-volume Class-F fly ash-kaolinite mixtures. The shear wave velocity (Vs) and its anisotropy of organically modified fly ash-kaolinite mixtures were evaluated using a self-developed floating wall type consolidometer bender element (BE) testing system. Both synthetic polymers [polyethylene oxide (PEO)] and biopolymers (xanthan gum and chitosan) were used to modify the stiffness of fly ash-kaolinite mixtures. Shear waves generated and received by bender elements were measured to quantify the small-strain stiffness of the organically modified fly ash-kaolinite mixtures in three orthogonal directions, i.e., vh, hv, and hh. The …
Policy Recommendation For Integrating Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems With Aviation Facilities In North Central Texas, Mike Branum
Policy Recommendation For Integrating Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems With Aviation Facilities In North Central Texas, Mike Branum
Planning Theses - Archive
Prevalent availability and use of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) have placed this technology at the forefront of federal, state, and local policy discussions. With the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) August 2016 release of regulatory conditions for civilian and commercial uses of unmanned aircraft, states and local governments are seeking to enact their own regulations to protect citizens, vital infrastructure, and economic assets including airports. This study analyzed results of aviation stakeholder and public safety professional responses to a survey, administered by the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG), to identify municipal concerns about the integration of sUAS with …

The literature review section includes background on neoliberalism in public universities; student spending and debt; current policy proposals for alleviation of the debt crisis; and selected analysis of Georgist and Marxist theories, including the work of Henry George, Henri Lefebvre, and David Harvey. The paper includes a case study of the University of Texas at Austin that illustrates potential policy considerations and funds garnered by student appropriation of unearned increases in land value proximate …
Aftermarket Supermarket | A Speculative Retrospective, Alexander Kim
Aftermarket Supermarket | A Speculative Retrospective, Alexander Kim
Architecture Senior Theses
In the preface to Delusive Spaces: Essays on Culture, Media and Technology, media theorist Eric Kluitenberg writes that “the delusion of the new”1 pollutes our theorizations of new media. This sort of technocratic fetishization of emergent technologies can only amount to a surfatial investigation of its effects or capabilities. Architectural investigations of virtual reality and other new media systems suffer from this tendency as well. Content-based experimentation and criticism obsess over the simultaneously exciting and daunting prospects of what we can now do or make with recent digital developments. There’s definite value in such endeavors, but frankly, in the grand …

Theses and Dissertations
Është vështirë të vërtetohet me saktësi se kur u themeluan shkollat e para dhe sistemi i arsimit në trevat shqiptare, por me rëndësi është se format e para të mësimit në institucione arsimore shënohen qysh në kohën e Ilirisë së lashtë, në shekullin e III p.e.s. Në këto shkolla, fëmijët (djemtë), nga mosha 7 – 11 vjeçare, vijonin edukimin dhe arsimimin në shkollat fillore (gramatikore), të cilat ishin private. Mendimi pedagogjik dhe zhvillimi i arsimit në trevat shqiptare ishte në koherencë me zhvillimet dhe reformimin e mendimit pedagogjik ndërkombëtar. Ndërkaq ndër pedagogët e parë që ndikuan me mendimet e tyre …
