The document provides information about the GEO Building project including its passive design strategies. It summarizes that the building uses extensive daylighting supplemented by efficient electric lighting. It employs passive cooling techniques like radiant floor cooling and a river roof heat sink. The building also integrates photovoltaics providing 50% of its energy needs and harvests rainwater.
Bernard Tschumi is a renowned architect known initially for his theoretical work. In the 1970s while teaching at the Architectural Association school in London, he developed the "strategy of disjunctions," a theory that contemporary culture and architecture were best expressed through fragmentation rather than classical unity. Tschumi's work often references other disciplines like literature and film, demonstrating his view that architecture should participate in and question cultural norms and structures.

A building can be just as adaptive. Banks become drive-through restaurants, coffee shops and clothing stores and warehouses can become curling rinks.
As Tempe continues to reinvent itself, the adaptive reuse of existing building becomes increasingly important. Older buildings may become unsuitable for their original purpose due to more rapid changes in technology, architectural requirements and modern tastes than in the built environment. Adaptive reuse becomes a sustainability tool that preserves revenue-generating commercial space, which is a priority for Tempe, and provides the opportunity for an eclectic mix of neighborhood retail and service establishments.

Traditional field walking is limited while geophysical surveying methods like magnetometry, earth resistance, and ground-penetrating radar can cover larger areas non-destructively and make the invisible visible. These and other modern methods such as satellite images, LiDAR, and aerial photographs are discussed. In conclusion, the document emphasizes that combining multiple surveying techniques provides the most complete picture of archaeological features and is important for cultural heritage protection and land use planning.
Geophysical survey for the risk managementMario Naldi
This document discusses managing risk through geophysical survey methods for due diligence assessments. It describes how non-invasive geophysical surveys such as electromagnetic, ground penetrating radar, and electrical resistivity tomography can identify subsurface hazards cost effectively by mapping buried utilities, tanks, waste, and other underground anomalies before invasive investigations. Large scale surveys identify potential risks while small scale surveys characterize identified anomalies to better inform follow up actions.

This document provides an introduction to geotechnical risk in rock tunnels. It discusses why there is a need for education on this topic, as tunnels have a high degree of risk due to uncertainties associated with rock mass conditions. Rock masses can be highly variable and heterogeneous compared to soils, making risk assessment and management important at all stages of tunnel projects. As tunnel costs are substantial and dependent on ground conditions, maintaining costs under control is key. Understanding risks and having appropriate study, design, and contracting procedures is important for the success and cost control of tunnel projects.
This document provides an overview of a 2004 conference on Geotechnical Risk in Rock Tunnels held in Portugal. It includes the table of contents and summaries of several papers presented at the conference on topics related to identifying, assessing, and managing risks associated with rock tunnels. Key risks discussed include geological uncertainties, fault zones, ground conditions, hydrogeological conditions, rock mass characterization, and vibration impacts of high-speed rail tunnels. The goal of the conference was to provide guidance on evaluating and addressing various risks during all phases of tunnel projects.

Painting of the capital before the Turkish conquest. At the
time of the Venetians the capital was enclosed within the
wall perimeter with its eleven bastions named after their
builders or superintendents. A ditch some eighty metres
wide surrounded the walls and was fed by the river
Pedieos. In this painting the river is shown passing through
the city although it was actually the Venetians who, for
defensive reasons, diverted it towards the North

15. Core Samples
The geotechnical investigation, in
cooperation with local University,
revealed that the monument is build on
9-10m thick loose to medium dense
alluvium (clay, silt, sand and gravel).
These alluviums show relatively high
apparent strength in their dry state.
However, with saturation their strength
decreases. This could be an aggravation
for the stability of the Bedestan.

28. The conservative restoration intervention
had to solve numerous serious problems
encountered in the monument due above all
to the absence of roofing over much of the
building combined with the absolute lack of
any rainwater drainage system.
It is indeed built using a very porous and
quickly deteriorating calcareous stone
(biocalcarenite) which is liable to
pulverization and crumbling and thus to
gradual loss.

From the first phases of the our studies we started
with TRAINING. This activity has been included in the
project in order to give a pool of specialists in the
field of maintenance, restoration and conservation of
historic buildings a professional training.
The opportunity represented by the Bedestan project,
which gathers together numerous experts operating
at the international level in the various disciplines
involved in monument restoration, was taken in
order to start an on-site training process, illustrating
to participants the various phases of fact-finding and
diagnostic investigation leading up to a restoration
project.

43. Bedestan appears as a particularly
interesting case among the current
problems facing restoration, situated as
it is half way between a disused
building and an archaeological ruin. Its
dual nature leads to its functionality
being recovered in so far as it is
possible to restore it in both structural
and architectural terms, although it also
demands preferential treatment of the
partially ruined elements, which would
have to be viewed by both the
occasional visitor and also perhaps
appreciated by the attentive observer.
