This document discusses how buildings contribute significantly to climate change through their energy usage and waste. It notes that buildings account for 48% of US carbon dioxide emissions and consume over 25% of total US energy. Commercial buildings alone use more energy than entire US states. The document advocates for more sustainable "ECOLogic" building design that considers embodied energy, resource protection, and connection to community to reduce environmental impacts.

Gegeven dat de bouw verantwoordelijk is voor ongeveer 50% van het materiaalgebruik, 40% van al het energieverbruik en 30% van het waterverbruik, is het de vraag wat we moeten doen als cement en staal niet meer voor handen zijn. De oplossing ligt bij de circulaire economie. De these gaat in op de potentie van urban mining en het gebruik van gebouwen en hun onderdelen. Hiervoor is een leegstaand kantoorgebouw in Amstel III in Amsterdam getransformeerd naar wonen. Er zijn wel additionele materialen nodig omdat het gebouw wordt uitgebreid. Voor dit ontwerp is gezocht naar de mogelijkheid om hiervoor gebruik te maken van potentiële ‘material mines’. Hiervoor is een oogstkaart gemaakt van gebouwen in de omgeving waarvan het bekend is dat ze gesloopt gaan worden, zogenaamde donorgebouwen. Hierbij is rekening gehouden met de benodigde energie om het materiaal te oogsten. Het resultaat is een hybride architectuur, met behoud van structurele elementen, hergebruikte glazen panelen van donorgebouwen en nieuwe elementen. Kern van het betoog is om vraag en aanbod bij elkaar te brengen en te werken aan hybride architectuur met een positieve invloed op onze omgeving en die de taal van imperfectie spreekt.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
