As the flagship project for the next downtown Boston neighborhood slated for growth, Atlantic Wharf will be the city of Boston’s first LEED Gold mixed-use development. CBT Architects presents a case study on this new one million square foot project that includes approximately 65 residential units, ground-level retail and public spaces, six stories of below-grade parking, and 31 floors of office space that will bring urban activity directly to the Fort Point Channel water’s edge.
The new sustainable development is at the base of a series of restored and renovated historic structures that preserve the texture and streetscape of this site, integrated with a modern highrise glass tower. By preserving the south and east façades of the historic warehouses, using a very energy-efficient curtainwall, and employing green roof technologies, Atlantic Wharf will be the a centerpiece of Boston's green development.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Borneo Sporenburg is a predominately residential development with 2500
housing units. Its linear parcels lie along docks and provide a waterscape as
well as streetscape. Landscape architect West 8 designed the master plan of
Borneo Sporenburg, which encompasses two large docks. It is also the first
high density development in Amsterdam with a density of 100 residential
units per hectare as the requirement.

Borneo Sporenburg was first a dockland island
integrated as a trade center. The area was
formed for industrial and harbor locations
serving trades for the Hollands colonies. It later
bloomed economically, especially after being
developed as deep water harbor in 1876. The
quay was designed intendedly to be more
modern efficient into loading and unloading with
a deep water construction. However, the harbor
couldn’t sustain itself. After World War 2, it was
moved to the cities' western docklands whilst
some industries bloomed in the area which
made it less busy and disused in the 1970s.
A L O O K B A C K .
7. B O R N E O S P O R E N B U R G T H E P L A N N I N G
In 1996, a decision was made to convert Borneo
and Sporenburg to a high residential
neighborhood development area from an
abandoned harbor. The urban setting presented
a very high density of 100 units per hector (3
times the density of a typical sub-urban
development) along with low-rise housings
each with door openings towards the streets.
More than 100 architects and planners
contributed in the planning procedure together
with the public, creating some new typologies
and urban spaces for middle-class families. The
plan divides 3 “sculpture blocks” known as
spinix, pacman, and fountainhead, creating
crucial landmarks with certain public nodes,
such as courtyards and greenery. In fact, the
vast ocean coverage surrounding the city aids
in relation as a leading public space, open for
Amsterdam boating culture.

The design of low-rise housings was resulted by
West 8, which featured harmonic connections
between built and un-built forms. The planners,
West 8 got the inspiration from villages on the
former zuiderzee - a place where small houses
oriented towards water with a a pulsing relation
between the out and in-door spaces.
West 8 gave twenty-odd architects the
same townhome envelope but allowed
each to design with minimal constraints.
The result is a streetscape of diverse,in
between integrated modern facades. Each
is unique, but they form a coherent whole.

During the 1970’s the docklands were
taken over by artists, squatters, nomads,
and houseboat dwellers. They formed a
large community in the docklands.
However after the redevelopment during
1980’s, most of these squatters moved out
but the artists and houseboat dwellers
remained at the area over time.
Paying relation to its physical site context,
Borneo’s people and culture revolves their
activities by its prevailing water context
surrounding it. Boating, or rather water
recreational activities by the public nodes
are of a common sight as the integral part
of incorporating the oceans as a form of
tourist attraction, scenic beauty, or rather
a quality social and cultural destination.

Commercial activities in Borneo
Sporenburg are relatively lesser than
other areas because it is aimed to be a
high density suburb residential area. Due
to that, the area has high potential to
develop into a more commercial district
due to its relative low commercial activity
compared to the neighboring areas.

developed an urban environment on the
dockland which incorporates urban
design principles and considerations into
attending the needs of the residents. The
progress of urbanization captures the
essence of being a desired quality city to

The character of the buildings arranged linearly along the open path is relatable to one
another to its scale, and proportion of the buildings' volume. The linear arrangement is

Greater room heights are not only a desirable feature for the living units but also provide
flexibility in spatial usage, allowing future conversion into retail, restaurant, and office space.
The conversion of spatial programming creates individuality of character of each living units.

The one way circulation pattern disrupts the ease of traffic improvisation - lacking of
alternative routing for convenience in vehicular circulation. The repeated stretch of streets in
between buildings prolongs the vehicular journeys throughout the island.

The built form planning of Borneo Sporenburg engages mainly through the body of ocean and the
relation of residents’ needs in social and cultural aspect. The functional zoning is distributed along the
linear arrangement of the docklands, corresponding with the linear circulation pattern with openings of
edges in between built forms framing the view of the ocean.

The form of linearity is broken down through the apparent built form, creating a typology of sort with its
individuality. Noticeable play of patterns contradicts with the uniformity of the built form on the
docklands, interrupting harmony aspect of the continuity.
Distinctive characters are represented though the means of repetitive uniqueness that leads to the noticeable
landmark which connects the two peninsulas together, thus giving a legible diverging point to the docklands.

docklands without reliance of vehicles.

The development planning of Borneo Sporenburg has successfully etch a significant
impact towards the conservative approach in the urban context by fulfilling all the
concepts stated by the architects. However, the city still misses several miniscule details
into incorporating considerations of being it flexible at certain aspects of the city.
Residents are seen to use streets and sidewalks as gathering areas due to the lack of public nodes. The open public
spaces available are limited to cater the needs of the residents, especially in the high dense neighborhood.

The lack of mixed land use contradicts with the concept of implementing sustainable transportation into the
neighborhood. Residents are relied on owning vehicles to reach facilities that are not offered in this development.
The repeated, monotonous dwelling units stretches to an extent of the entire urban context. Horizontal facades
are formed instead of vertical ones, lacking its sense of individualistic character.
