Brasilia is the capital city of Brazil, located in the center of the country. It was purposefully planned and constructed in the late 1950s to move the capital from coastal Rio de Janeiro further inland. Oscar Niemeyer and Lúcio Costa designed Brasilia's unique pilot plan layout, which consists of two perpendicular axes that form a cross shape. The plan divides the city into sectors for various uses such as residential, commercial, and governmental. Key features include artificial lakes, superblocks containing high-rise apartments surrounded by green space, and strict separation of vehicles and pedestrians. Brasilia was built rapidly from 1956-1960 and remains notable for its modernist architecture and planned design.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.
2. INTRODUCTION
• Brasilia is the capital of Brazil
• Brasília often refers to the Distrito Federal (Federal District),
• Area of federal district is of 5,802 sq.m.
• Climate is Tropical savannah climate and the average
temperature is 20.5 °C (68.9 °F).
• The population of Brasilian federal district is of 26,06,885.
Population density was 435.98 inhabitants per square
kilometer. (According to IBGE 2009 census)
• Brasilia is the largest city (by population) in the world at the
close of the 20th century that didn't exist at the beginning of
the century.
• The Human Development Index in the city is at 0.936 in the
year 2000, (developed nation level), and the illiteracy rate is
around 4.35%.
• Brasilia is listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The
city is a world reference for urban planning.
4. HISTORY
• From 1763 to 1960, Rio de Janeiro was the capital of
Brazil.
• At this time, resources tended to be centered in Brazil's
south east region near Rio de Janeiro. But geographically
Brasilia is in central location.
• Dating back to 1891 stated that the capital should be
moved from Rio de Janeiro to a place close to the centre of
the country.
• plan was originally conceived in 1827 by José Bonifácio,
an advisor to Emperor Pedro I. He presented a plan to the
General Assembly of Brazil for a new city called Brasília
with the idea of moving the capital westward from the
heavily populated south eastern corridor. The bill was not
enacted because Pedro I dissolved the Assembly.
• uscelino Kubitschek , President of Brazil from 1956 to
1961, ordered the construction of Brasília.
• Lúcio Costa won a contest and was the main urban planner
in 1957, with 5550 people competing. Oscar Niemeyer, a
close friend, was the chief architect of most public buildings
and Roberto Brule Marx was the landscape designer.
• Brasília was built in 41 months, from 1956 to April 21,
1960, when it was officially inaugurated. Oscar Niemeyer
Lúcio Costa
5. CLIMATE
• Dry and Humid Season The average temperature is 20.5 °c.
• Highest average maximum temperature, 28 °c (82 °f).
PURPOSE OF CITY
• Locate the capital to an inland location.
• Fear of invasions to previous capital Rio de Janeiro, To relieve the pressure of
overpopulation from the old capital Rio de Janeiro.
• To create a renewed sense of national pride. A completely modern 21st century city
• To create a growth center.
• To enhance a spirit of national unity.
CULTURE
• Diverse Culture: Portuguese , Africans, Italian, German, Other European, Japanese,
Amerindian.
• Architecture : Cubist ideas , abstract forms, baroque, colonial, modern, combination of
skills rather than one. •Portuguese legacy: language , religion and law.
6. • The pilot plan for Brasília was built to
conform to Le Corbusier's Letter of
Athens , which, according to the
Modernists, embodied the ideal
qualities of a city. The Letter had four
basic beliefs for the ideal city:
• Well-ventilated residences near green
spaces;
• the separation of residences from
workplaces, with industries
excluded from the city proper;
• exclusive space for cultural activities,
near residencies; and
• the separation of the circulation of
vehicles and pedestrians.

RESIDENCIAL
7. • The basis of the plan of
the city was a simple
cross;
• The cross had to be
adapted to the local
topography due to prior
plans of an artificial lake
and the city gained the
shape of an aero plane;
• The aero plane
symbolizing the fastest
way out of the town;
City pointing like an arrow in
to the future;
Two intersecting axes:
1. A monumental scale,
2. A residential scale,
3. A gregarious (or social)
scale, and
4. A bucolic scale.

12. ROAD NETWORK
Vast highway network-access to Brasília from
practically everywhere in Brazil.
Application of principles of highway engineering
• elimination of intersections
• Fast central lanes
• Side lanes for local traffic
• This is the most important expressway in
Brasilia is called as EIXAO
• Pair of roads in the middle
• Parallel to the EIXAO, at both sides, there are
the small axes which give access to the
residential blocks.
13. ROAD NETWORK
There are two major avenues
that crosses Brasília:
• Eixo Rodoviário from
South to North; it is
usually called “Eixão”,
which means “big axis”
and it passes through the
“wings” of the airplane
figure of Brasília map;
• Eixo Monumental from
West to East, so called
because the main
monuments of Brasília
are located there.
There are two series of
routes parallel to “Eixo
Rodoviário”: W, W2, W3
and so on to the West; L, L2,
L3 and so on to the East.
14. Location of the Airport, the Hotel Zones and the University
Most hotels in Brasília are located in the zones called SHS (“Setor Hoteleiro Sul”) and SHN
(“Setor Hoteleiro Norte”). Some hostels (“pousadas”) are located along the Southern half of W3
(“W3 Sul”). Touristic hotels are found at the edge of the lake “Lago Paranoá”.
16. RATIONALE

Each group should have
• A church
• A secondary school
• A movie house
• A youth club
• Adequate field space for
children to play
Lower building for commercial
business in between super blocks.
19. • housing for 600,000 people;
• grouped in a very orderly manner;
• Between the superblocks commercial
businesses;
20. Institution areas

- Pedestrian axis
The master plan of Brasilia lacks
consideration of pedestrian
movement as most of spaces are
planned according to concept of
radiant city which is more of
vehicular oriented planning.
Super Blocks
22. • Design for Brasilia brilliantly bound together the symbolic conception of the modern and ancient
city.
• The city has been acclaimed for its use of modernist architecture on a grand scale and for its
utopian city plan.
• The concept of super blocks : where people are allowed to live in high quality of life and also
close to nature.
• The Brazilian capital is the only city in the world built in the 20th century to be awarded (in
1987) the status of Historical and Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, an agency of the
United Nations. It also holds the distinction of waiting the shortest amount of time to be
designated a World Heritage Site of any UNESCO entry, which occurred just 27 years after its
completion in 1960.
• Good planning policies : division of sectors and location of them (ex: residential buildings
around expansive urban areas) Same life together.
• City initially designed for 6 lakh people, but now the population is 26 lakh people.
• Public transportation is inefficient.
• Great distance between the buildings.
• Traditional livelihood is missing.
• Newer satellite town have very few green areas unlike the pilot plan.
• The city was not designed on a pedestrian scale.
• The displacement of poor residents too far away in satellite towns.
• Class based differences.

27. INTRODUCTION
Jaipur is the capital and the largest city of the Indian state
of Rajasthan.
It was founded on 18 November 1727 by Maharaja
Sawai Jai Singh 2, the city has been named after him.
Jaipur is also known as pink city and Paris of India.
• Location: 26.92n, 75.82e
• Altitude: 431 m above msl
• Area: 484.64 km2
• Population: 3,046,189
• Density: 6300/km2
• Jaipur city is Rajasthan's capital and largest city.
• It is situated in the eastern border of Thar
desert.
• It is 258 kms from Delhi and 232 kms from
Agra, it forms a golden triangle to attract
tourists.
• Languages:
– Official: Hindi
– Regional: Rajasthani
28. HISTORY
• 10th century onwards : the district Dhoondhar
formed one of the four distinguishable
politico- cultural regions of Eastern
Rajasthan, in addition to Mewat, Hadauti and
Mewar.
• Dhoondhar region was roughly comprised
of current districts of Jaipur, Dausa and
Tonk, with Jaipur and Amber further
constituting Dhoondhar subzone within the
larger tract of Dhoondhar region.
• The region was held by Badgujars, Rajputs
and Minas till the 11th century.
• From the 11th century onwards, however,
the Dhoondhar region was increasingly
under the power of Kachchwaha dynasty
of Rajputs.
• Sawai Jai Singh II (1700 1743) the
Kachchwaha dynasty established the city of
Jaipur and strengthened the boundaries of
Dhoondhar.
29. HISTORY
• In ancient history Jaipur makes appearance through
Bairath. Bairat’s history goes back to the time of the
Mahabharata and Mahabhashya , when it was known
as “Viratnagar”. Viratnagar was the capital of
Matsya Mahajanapada. The kingdom came under the
control of the neighboring Chedi Kingdom in the 5th
century BCE and was later part of the Mauryan Empire.
• During medieval times, Amber, currently a subdivision
of Jaipur, was the predecessor to Jaipur.
• The city of jaipur was founded im 1726 by jai singh 2,
the raja of amer who ruled from 1699 to 1743.
• He planned to shift his capital from amer, 11 kms from
jaipur to accommodate the growing population and
increasing scarcity of water.
• Unber the architectural guidance of vidyadhar
bhattacharya, jaipur was planned based on the
principles of vastu-shastra and shilpa shastra.
• The city was divided into nine blocks, two of which
contained the state buildings and palaces, with the
remaining seven alloted to the public.
• Huge ramparts were built, pierced by seven fortified
gates.
30. REASONS TO CHANGE HIS CAPITAL FROM AMBER
TO JAIPUR (1727)
MILITARY REASONS
• Defence
• A site at the South of Amber ensured greater
distance from Delhi.
• the out skirting hill ranges (Nahargarh hills)
shaped as a horseshoe would allow the new city
to expand only in the South.
• It was an open plain bounded on the northwest
and east by hills.
GEOGRAPHICAL REASONS
• The rocky terrain of Amber restricted
expansion.
• Jaipur had the potentialities of developing into a city
with adequate drinking water due to the
presence of a perennial stream nearby and
good drainage system.
• Its rugged hills also ensured a constant supply a of
building material.
31. TWO SIGNIFICANT FACTS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
ORIGIN OF THE CITY AND ITS SUBSEQUENT LAYOUT:
• The need of a new capital for 18th
century Dhoondhar as the earlier one of
Amber built on a hill was getting
congested.
• Sawai Raja Jai Singh’s vision of the new
capital as a
strong political statement at par with
Mughal cities and
as a thriving trade and commerce hub for
the region.
SITE :
avalley located south of Amber and the plains beyond,
aterrain that wasthe bedof a dried lake;dense forest
cover tothe north and the east of thesite.
PHYSICAL CONSTRAINTS:
hills on the north that housed the fort of Jaigarh and
the Amber palace beyond, and the hills on the east,
which contained the sacred spot of Galtaji.
32. • The medieval towns of Rajasthan were of military, agrarian, mercantile or religious nature.
• The presence of a deity marked the reference point for the ruler’s abode and the rest of thecity.
• The name of the town was usually associated with the political or religious centre (with the
Ambikeshwar temple in the case of Amber and with Sawai Jai Singh in the case of Jaipur).
The hill town of Dausa with an organic layout guided by the topography
33. Planned according to vastu shastra
and Shilpa shastra.
Plan of Jaipur is a grid of 3x3 with
gridlines being the city’s main
street.
The primary streets from the sector
which are then subdivided into
smaller blocks by secondary and
tertiary streets.
The main artery runs east to west
and is intersected by three primary
streets running south and north.
Intersection made prominent by
the formation of cross.
The main street keeps the palace
at the focal point.
The important functions are
located on the main artery.
PLANNING OF WALLED CITY
35. CONCEPTUAL PLANNING
It is a model of town planning the first
planned city in India. It is based on Hindu
systems of town planning and followed the
principles prescribed in the Shilpa-shastra,
an ancient Indian treatise on architecture
.according to this shastra the site should
be divided into grids or mandalas ranging
from 2x 2 to 10 x 10.
Planned according to the Prastara type of
layout, which gives prominence to the
cardinal directions.
Thus plan of jaipur is a grid of 3x3 with
gridlines being the city’s main streets.
36. • The central axis of the town was laid from
East to West between the gates of the
Sun(Suraj pol) and the moon(Chandpol) .
• This was crossed by two roads at right
angles dividing the town into nine almost
square, almost equally sized blocks, which
were further sub divided by lanes and
alleys all at right angles.
• By building the western boundary of the
city right up to the hill’s southern apex, it
provided a continuous line of defense.
• The mandala could not be complete in
the NW due to the presence of the hills.
• On the other hand in the SE an extra
square has been added that plugged the
gap between the city and the eastern hills
CONCEPTUAL PLANNING
37. • South of the main road were four
almost equal rectangles. The
rectangle opposite the palace has
been broken up into two equal
and smaller rectangles by the
Chaura Rasta.Thus altogether
there are now five rectangles on
the south of the main road called
Chowkris.
• On the North of the main road
from West to East are the Purani
Basti, the Palace and
Ramchandraji.
• The principal bazaar leads from
the western gate in the city wall,
The Chandpole, passing in front
of the Tripolia Gate, to the eastern
city gate, the Surajpole.

The study of
urbanization shows
that built-up area is
increasing at very fast
rate and acquires the
area of crop and
grass land.
Maximum expansion
of urban is found on
fertile agricultural
land in northern west
and southern east
direction (figure 3).
Crop land,
scrub/grass land and
waste land is
showing decreasing
trend. This changing
pattern is alarm for
natural environment.
45. CLIMATE:
• Jaipur has a semi-arid type of
climate. Temperatures vary in
different seasons. May and June
are the hottest months in Jaipur.
Temperature reaches up to 40-
45oC in these months. Annual
rainfall is concentrated in the
monsoon months between June
(Last of June) and September.
• The winter months of November
to February are mild and pleasant,
with average temperatures in the
15-18oC range and little or no
humidity. December and January
are the coldest months in Jaipur.
Temperature varies between 5-
10oC in these months but there
are however occasional cold
waves.
46. Population:
• While, the current population of Jaipur is estimated to be around 80 Lacs, its population,
according to census of 2011, was 66,26,178.
• Its population growth rate over the decade 2001-2011 was 26.91%.
• Jaipur has a sex ratio of 909 females for every 1000 males and a literacy rate of 76.44%.
• The district has a population density of 598 inhabitants per square kilometer.
