Annual Eindhoven University of Technology 10-11
Architecture.ehv is a yearly publication showcasing Eindhoven University of Technology's best graduation projects of the past year in architecture, building physics, building technology, structural design, design systems, urban design, construction engineering and technology and real estate management. To these the yearbook adds a pull-out section of essays by teachers and students that portray the department's intellectual climate. Essays by Bernard Colenbrander, Ralph Brodruck, André Cools and Martijn Schlatmann are included alongside two long articles by Kees Doevendans that assess the place that the disciplines Architecture and Urban Design have come to occupy over the faculty's first 50 years.
Built Environment 12-13. Eindhoven University of Technology
The Design Research of the Built Environment faculty at Eindhoven University of Technology presents a selection of graduation projects. In the case of architectural design, the format of the research is the graduation studio in which a common research project is carried out during a single semester before each student designs an individual graduation project during a subsequent semester. The research conducted by each graduation studio is described in this book and represented by one or two projects.
Engineering the Future, Understanding the Past
Technology today is often presented as our best hope of solving the world's social and sustainability problems. And that's nothing new: engineers have always sought to meet the big challenges of their times-even as those challenges have shaped their technology. This book offers a historical look at those interactions between engineering and social challenges, showing how engineers developed solutions to past problems, and looking at the ways that those solutions often bring with them unintended consequences that themselves require solving.
Engineering the Future, Understanding the Past
The world is in turmoil: we are witnessing steep social and environmental challenges. Technology is identified as both cause of and solution to these challenges. How can we use technology to solve problems - without creating new ones?Engineering the Future, Understanding the Past discusses the role of engineering in our age of grand challenges - by drawing lessons from the past. Since the birth of modern engineering roughly two centuries ago, technology has helped to reshape our modern world. At the same time, social challenges have shaped engineering science and practice. This book examines why and how engineers have engaged in solving social challenges -challenges for society, for business, and for users. It alsoasks why some technological solutions have unexpectedly created new problems. And it studies how engineers have coped with technology's puzzling ability to both help and harm.
