CSI.SP: Valuating The Informal Built Environment by Daan van den Berg, Jasper...Jasper Moelker
This document outlines a project to value informal settlements in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The project will create a checklist and mathematical model to value informal real estate. It will analyze construction costs, materials, and dwelling typologies over time in ParaisoPolis settlement. The project will overlap by analyzing the same settlement and calculating market value, construction costs, and actual value to draw investment conclusions. A timeline and checklist of topics like construction, housing market, facilities, and government will guide the analysis. The goal is to make the fluctuating informal housing market more transparent for investors and improve building quality.
Publicness The Power Of Control by Chris Rovers, Nicola Knop (17 Apr 2009)Jasper Moelker
This document summarizes a presentation on public spaces in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It discusses criteria that determine degrees of publicness, such as infrastructure, functions, scale, power and control, and physical characteristics. It analyzes different types and qualities of public spaces, from metropolitan to community levels. It presents a "public web" scheme showing the connections between public spaces. It provides an example of a "public knot" and examines three neighborhoods regarding publicness. It concludes that rapid city growth and efforts by authorities to control public spaces have led to a differentiated experience of publicness across districts. Alternative strategies are proposed to create more flexible, dynamic and inclusive public spaces.

Living + Sport (educational project) - Presentation (Jan 2007)Jasper Moelker
Assignment: Living+ is an exploration into possibilities for the integration of complementary
functions and housing. In a 40x40x40m volume the designer is triggered to develop new dwelling typologies through the mixing of functions.
Concept: Rather than cloakrooms the dwellings themselves should be the filter between the public domain and the sport domain. By positioning itself in the middle, the dwelling has new border conditions as an interface to both the public as well as the sports domain. This makes the program of the dwelling dependent of its adjecent domain so that new typologies arise: 'arena', 'stand', 'club' and 'window'. Subtile transitions between the functions are made through order of the intensity of an activity. This is also expressed in the routing and the facade - in the spacing of the vertical louvres. The program itself is reflected in the materialization of the interior and the facade.
This project was designed as educational project within the Architecture, Urbanism & Building Sciences master program (1st semester) at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft).

Design for people, Code for computers - Jasper Moelker (18 apr 2013)Jasper Moelker
As web developers we commonly create a presentation of content using html and css styles to make it more appealing and readable for people. With a little extra effort we can make the same content just as accessible to computers and applications. This can be achieved by including a variety of metadata within the markup and by linking external metadata files. This presentation looks at these different metadata at a glance, including: basic metadata, device icons, structured data, open graph, open search, rss feeds, xml sitemaps, robots.txt & humans.txt.
This presentation was first presented during the Pecha Kucha meeting of Fronteers at de Voorhoede, Amsterdam, 18 April 2013.
This document discusses Google's history and products over time. It notes Google's early motto of "Don't be evil" and rise to becoming a top search engine. The document also references Google getting people "addicted" to its cloud-based products and services. Slides about Google's history and impact were presented on http://slides.at, citing sources like a German video and Google's 10th birthday website.
Training alone does not effectively solve performance problems. Research shows that 75% of performance issues are due to contextual factors, not lack of skills or knowledge of individuals. Simply sending employees to training does not create real performance change. An effective approach analyzes performance data, identifies the root causes, implements interventions to address the system issues, and manages change through evaluation and measurement over time. This holistic human performance improvement approach can sustainably improve sales, customer satisfaction, project outcomes, and more.

Solid Surface materials like Corian can be used for more than just flat countertops. Designers appreciate that it can be molded into complex shapes through thermoforming and machining, allowing for unique, sculptural designs. Solid Surface provides designers with almost limitless creative possibilities for abstract lighting fixtures, speakers, inlays, and other applications beyond traditional surfaces. To get involved in this type of specialized Solid Surface work, fabricators need to invest in CNC machines, ovens, and software while finding architects, designers, and shops interested in more experimental uses of the material.
