Taylor & Francis Ltd Algorithms and the Assault on Critical Thought
Book SynopsisThis book examines the digitalization of longstanding problems of technological advance that produce inequalities and automated governance, which relieves subjects of agency and critical thought, and prompts a need to weaponize thoughtfulness against technocratic designs.The book situates digital-era problems relative to those of previous sociotechnical milieux and argues that technical advance perennially embeds corrosive effects on social relations and relations of production, recognizing variation across contexts and relative to entrenched societal hierarchies of race and other axes of difference and their intersections. Societal tolerance, despite abundant evidence for harmful effects of digital technologies, requires attention. The book explains blindness to social injustice by technocratic thinking delivered through education as well as truths embraced in the data sciences coupled with governance in universities and the private sector that protect these truths from critique. Institutional inertia suggests benefits of communitarianism, which strives for change emanating from civil society. Scaling postcapitalist communitarian values through communitybased peer production presents opportunities. However, enduring problems require critical reflection, continual revision of strategies, and active participation among diverse community citizens.This book is written with critical geographic sensibilities for an interdisciplinary audience of scholars and graduate and undergraduate students in the social sciences, humanities, and data sciences.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Building Childrens Worlds
Book SynopsisChildren are the future architects, clients and users of our buildings. The kinds of architectural worlds they are exposed to in picturebooks during their formative years may be assumed to influence how they regard such architecture as adults. Contemporary urban environments the world over represent the various stages of modernism in architecture. This book reads that history through picturebooks and considers the kinds of national identities and histories they construct.Twelve specialist essays from international scholars address questions such as: Is modern architecture used to construct specific narratives of childhood? Is it taken to support negative' narratives of alienation on the one hand and positive' narratives of happiness on the other? Do images of modern architecture support ideas of community'? Reinforce family values'? If so, what kinds of architecture, community and family? How is modern architecture placed vis-à-vis the promotion of diversity (ethnic, rTable of ContentsIntroduction Part 1: Modernity 1.Building for the future - Children as future citizens in Swedish Picturebooks of the 1930s 2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Fire Safety Design for Tall Buildings
Book SynopsisFire Safety Design for Tall Buildings provides structural engineers, architects, and students with a systematic introduction to fire safety design for tall buildings based on current analysis methods, design guidelines, and codes. It covers almost all aspects of fire safety design that an engineer or an architect might encounterâsuch as performance-based design and the basic principles of fire development and heat transfer.It also sets out an effective way of preventing the progressive collapse of a building in fire, and it demonstrates 3D modeling techniques to perform structural fire analysis with examples that replicate real fire incidents such as the Twin Towers and WTC7. This helps readers to understand the design of structures and analyze their behavior in fire.Table of Contents1 Introduction 2 Regulatory requirements and basic fire safety design principles 3 Fundamentals of fire and fire safety design 4 Structural fire design principles for tall buildings 5 Typical fire safety design strategy for tall buildings 6 Fire analysis and modeling 7 Preventing fire-induced collapse of tall buildings 8 New technologies and machine learning in fire safety design 9 Post-fire damage assessment

Taylor & Francis Preventing Industrial Accidents
Herbert William Heinrich has been one of the most influential safety pioneers. His work from the 1930s/1940s affects much of what is done in safety today â for better and worse. Heinrichâs work is debated and heavily critiqued by some, while others defend it with zeal. Interestingly, few people who discuss the ideas have ever read his work or looked into its backgrounds; most do so based on hearsay, secondary sources, or mere opinion. One reason for this is that Heinrichâs work has been out of print for decades: it is notoriously hard to find, and quality biographical information is hard to get.Based on some serious safety archaeology, which provided access to many of Heinrichâs original papers, books, and rather rich biographical information, this book aims to fill this gap. It deals with the life and work of Heinrich, the context he worked in, and his influences and legacy. The book defines the main themes in Heinrichâs work and discusses them, paying attention to their ori

Taylor & Francis Ltd Alvar Aalto and the Future of Architecture
Book SynopsisIn the contemporary practice of architecture, digital design and fabrication are emergent technologies in transforming how architects present a design and form a material strategy that is responsible, equitable, sustainable, resilient, and forward-looking. This book exposes dialogue between history, theory, design, construction, technology, and sensory experience by means of digital simulations that enhance the assessment and values of our material choices. It offers a critical look to the past to inspire the future. This new edition looks to Alvar Aalto as the primary protagonist for channeling discussions related to these topics. Architects like ALA, Shigeru Ban, 3XN, Peter Zumthor, and others also play the role of contemporary guides in this review. The work of Aalto and selected contemporary architects, along with computer modeling software, showcase the importance of comprehensive design. Organized by the five Ts of contemporary architectural discourseTypology, TopoTable of ContentsIntroduction—Alvar Aalto and the Future of Architecture 1. Topology–Design in Light of Place 2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Aeroform
Book SynopsisAeroform: Designing for Wind and Air Movement provides a comprehensive introduction to applying aerodynamic principles to architectural design. It presents a challenge to architects and architectural engineers to give shape to the wind and express its influence on architectural form. The wind pushes and pulls on our buildings, infiltrates and exfiltrates through cracks and openings, and lifts roofs during storm events. It can also offer opportunities for resource conservation through natural ventilation or a biophilic connection between indoors and out. This book provides basic concepts in fluid mechanics such as materials, forces, equilibrium, pressure, and hydrostatics; introduces the reader to the concept of airflow; and provides strategies for designing for wind resistance, especially in preventing uplift. Natural ventilation and forced airflow are explored using examples such as Thomas Herzogâs Hall 26 in Hanover, RWE Ag building in Essen Germany, and the KimbelTable of Contents1. Introduction 2.
