Tactical Urbanism, Lecture by Arvind Ramachandran, 7 July 2013Sochi - peshkom
Arvind Ramachandran introduces the concept of "Everyday Urbanism" which encourages building cities incrementally through small-scale citizen-driven projects rather than large master plans. Everyday Urbanism recognizes cities as complex entities shaped by many forces and argues a bottom-up approach improves city life without massive investment. Examples of Everyday Urbanism projects include parklets in LA, a participatory park in Copenhagen, and public toilets designed with citizen input in Chennai.
Detroit’s downtown is experiencing a renaissance unlike anything it has seen in decades. Largely vacant office buildings are filling up with new businesses and residents, the ground floors will soon welcome new shops and restaurants, and the streets and public spaces throughout the downtown are returning to life. Soon a new streetcar on Woodward Avenue, the M-1, will tie the downtown into the City of Detroit to the north, carrying residents, students and employees into the downtown and linking key destinations.
This report focuses on how the public spaces, and particularly the three major downtown parks, can be transformed, both in the long and short term — beginning summer 2013! — so that they support this exciting commercial and residential rebirth in the downtown, and also become destinations in their own right. To develop these ideas, Project For Public Spaces (PPS) brought into focus the concept of Placemaking to downtown Detroit and engaged the public in the Placemaking process. It is the intention of the stakeholder group to begin implementation of these ideas in order to create safe places for Detroit residents, workers and visitors.

7 October. Maggie Bolt - The Arts of Place conferenceKate Watson
- The document discusses how public art has changed from being viewed as "art in public places" like sculptures and benches to being more integrated in urban planning and design processes.
- The author established organizations like Public Art South West and Public Art Online to promote involving artists earlier in development projects to contribute conceptual skills rather than just objects.
- A challenge is that initiatives are not always evaluated and lessons learned, so progress is lost as priorities and organizations change over time. Sustainable partnerships and a focus on quality are needed going forward.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptxRayLetai1
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

”Architecture requires collaboration, and most importantly it is susceptible to the quality of this collaboration. It is
difficult to think of another peaceful activity that draws on so many diverse contributions and expectations. It involves
commercial forces and social vision; it must deal with the wishes of institutions and corporations and the needs and desires
of individuals.Whether we articulate it or not, every major construction is an amazing testament to our ability to join
forces and make something on behalf of others. [...] Good architecture doesn’t happen naturally, it requires a conspiracy of
circumstances and participants.While architects can provide ideas and visions, the relevance of these ideas depends on a
meaningful engagement with the society they presume to serve.
While good architecture has always involved an attitude of resistance, to the elements and to the forces of chaos and even
resistance to norms and prevailing tastes, this attitude shouldn’t become, as it has so often, the justification for isolation
and rhetoric. In fact the predicament of the architect is at best one of critical compliance. They are both antagonists and
service providers.” David Chipperfield, Common Ground
It is compelling to consider the inherent promise of the unbuilt project, especially competition proposals.The
ones usually celebrated as visionary being those produced either as individual speculations or early project
proposals yet to begin their journey to realization.These projects, usually symbolized by a provocative first sketch,
a representation of a singular vision, are often upheld as the purest expression of architectural ambition.They
are seen as ‘unadulterated’ visions of what could be, revealing an architect’s position with regards to the abstract
nature of a commission and holding more value than the proposals which have had to engage with the clients, the
site, and other contingencies over time.They promise newness - unencumbered by these shackles, free to imagine
provocative new ways of inhabitation.
It is my opinion though that in fact it is the shared and negotiated vision, coming as the result of finding
consensus, managing budgets, and spending an adequate amount of time in conversation and contemplation,
that is of greater value than the pristine, unmediated projections of so many competition schemes and
hypothetical propositions. Like Chipperfield says, one is hoping to engage in this ‘conspiracy of circumstance
and participants’. We must move away from the seductive notion of the creation of architecture as a form of
immaculate conception and celebrate it as the result of negotiation and ‘reflection in action’. A form of shared
authorship and the outcome of a ‘scenius’.The provocation is the start of this conversation and not, in my mind, an
end in itself. I am a lot more interested in its afterlife.
In 2005 a group of senior career bureaucrats and city intellectuals came together to set up the Bangalore
International Centre.They modeled it on the India International Centre in Delhi, as a place for informed discussion,
public discourse and cultural engagement. Housed for the first 14 years of its existence within the Sanjay Mohe
designedTERI offices, the Centre held a variety of public events, many in their small 80 seat auditorium, the
crowds often spilling out onto the lawns and streets outside. At the core of its mandate was the idea that these
events hosted by the BIC would be free for all and not just for its members. Membership was seen more as a token
contribution to allow the Centre to pursue its egalitarian and democratic mission.
In 2012, the Centre invited proposals in an open competition for a new facility they were planning to build on a
half acre civic amenity site in Domlur, in the eastern part of the city.The site had been allotted to the BIC and the
building was going to be built using funds raised through private donations.This unusual idea, of a public, open
institution built with the help of private contributions, and managed by the membership in the interest of the
larger community is the foundational principle of this project.
We won the competition and our proposal, a dramatic assembly of the mixed-use program, articulated to respond
to its small scale residential context and the neighboring park was received with much acclaim and some derision.
An astute BIC member, in a letter written to the Building Committee, observed that modern architecture (or the
Starship Enterprise, as he called it) had crash landed in Domlur.
This response may have been because of the particular massing strategy used on the competition scheme. A
floating mass cantilevered (out by some 16m!) over a wide amphitheater and a two storey plinth, expressed in
iconic fashion the public agenda of the BIC.This open verandah above the tree line from where one surveyed the
city and onto which the city projected its aspirations had incredible rhetorical flourish, capturing both the heroic
ambitions of the BIC and its open, transparent and public mission.
Soon though, this heroism gave away to pragmatic considerations, including the ever increasing requirement for
‘enclosed’ rentable space odour from the adjoining storm water drain and mosquitoes. While preparing the permit
drawings we realised that BIC’s actual site holding was smaller (narrower) than the competition site.This was a
major setback. Given the new dimensions, we couldn’t accommodate the auditorium in the width left after the
setbacks required for a four storey building.The scheme lost a floor to reduce setbacks, and that wonderful central
idea, a symbol of the institution, was sacrificed.
We proposed encasing the building in a frame - to retain the scale of our earlier iterations and began moving
towards the idea of finding a series of shared spaces contained within this frame - the idea of a rich public realm
within the building. And then sometime in 2015 we developed a slightly modified scheme, shifting the main entry
to one end of the plan creating in effect a long promenade within the building, connecting the different program
components.This fundamental change in the circulation strategy meant that now on each floor the distinct rooms
were part of this articulated, and generous public space - a society of rooms, as Louis Kahn would call it - with
places of prospect and refuge.
The public life of the building, rather than being isolated on one level as it was in our competition scheme,
became the core organising principal of this new scheme. Rather than merely a rhetorical idea it now was a lived,
experienced condition - with adjacencies and connections.
BIC finally opened its doors in February, 2019, dramatically different from the competition scheme. Friends
often commiserate when they see the finished building, remembering the dramatic formal expression of our
competition scheme and its powerful invocation of public space. But we enjoy this expression of an architecture of
collaboration, negotiation and shared ideals.
I would like to submit BIC as a valid precedent for the constructive coming together of many people and the
benefits of a long period of gestation.The facility has become an active cultural hub in the city, appropriated in
wonderful ways by the BIC and the larger community.There is a sense that the building is a real representation of
shared ideals and authorship.
Like Chipperfield says, our work as architects involves both a critical resistance - looking at our commissions as the
search for deep structure and enduring meaning; but also accommodation, listening intently and assimilating the
particular exigencies of a commission. Our work finds essential meaning in the coming together of many people
and in this shared authorship lies its greatest value. It ‘is an amazing testament to our ability to join forces and
make something on behalf of others’. An act of profound empathy.
The provocation of the unsullied and pristine unbuilt work, reveals to us that which is obfuscated in the hustle of
our everyday engagement with the world. But it must be brought to confront this everyday world for we must
search for resonance, for deep structure. In finding common ground we give life and meaning to what we do as
architects. I am interested in this afterlife - in giving expression to our time, our place and our culture. And these are
not defined by solitary voices.

A Early option.The various program components were stacked up
on three floors around a small central lobby space.This assembly
had carved onto the side of it a large public stair leading directly to
the uses on the southern side of the lobby.This then was enclosed
in a uniform metal frame which was selectively enclosed and gave
us both the formality and presence of a public building and the
informality and intimacy of small private gatherings.
B By shifting the main entrance to the south east corner, the heart
of the scheme became large meandering public spaces connecting
all the program components strewn across three floors.

5. This early sketch shows the ground floor lobby
used in multiple ways: for discussions and
presentations, story telling and performances,
art installations, pre-function areas for events
in the auditorium, etc. By creating the primary
entry to the building on the extreme corner of
the plan (south-east), this large swath of com-
mon space opens up connecting the restaurant,
auditorium, restrooms, pantry, lifts and access
to gardens.
Since the building has opened in February,
2019, we have already seen these spaces on
the ground and first floors accommodate a
textile exhibition, multi-faith ceremonies, art
workshops, installations, etc.Though situated
on a tight site this generous internal volume
suggests a much larger facility and is capable of
handling large groups of people.The intercon-
nected nature of these public spaces also gives
one the sense of being part of a larger commu-
nity.

9. The single surface material (plywood) shell provides many acoustic advantages, allowing
this space to serve as an effective multi-purpose auditorium.The angular and multi-fac-
eted inner shell creates variably spaced air gaps throughout the auditorium, resulting in
excellent absorption across all frequencies.
It solves a common issue in auditorium designs where a fixed air gap from a simple
rectangular box results in excess absorption at particular frequencies. Using perforation
on the inner wooden shell allows acoustic absorption to remain hidden. Varying the
perforation allows mid and high frequency energy to be reflected and carried through-
out the room, while allowing low frequency energy to still pass through the shell and be
absorbed.This might result in a slightly higher reverberation time compared to the aver-
age auditorium, but the main benefit of this design is the ability for un-amplified sound
to carry through the space.The image on the right shows the level of detail in the design,
with the different colours on the 3d model representing varying amounts of perforation
in the wooden panels.
