Increasing STEM Mobility through Study Abroad in Europe: Engineering, Archite...CIEE
New questions have arisen in light of today’s demands for innovation in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), increasingly global jobs markets, worldwide competition, and imbalanced opportunities for study abroad. One such question: Should the selection of study abroad location be tied to local resources and assets? Using two STEM-focused study abroad programs in Europe as examples, we’ll discuss this question, and bring together innovators in STEM education to identify major challenges and best practices, and develop new roadmaps for creating successful STEM programs.
Universal Design is a design process - not a checklist of design solutions or mere compliance with legislation such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA).

During the different period of architectural design, designers attempt to achieve high level of life quality for all users. Architecture and urban planner want to provide a style of design which not only achieves different function for different users with respect to their ethnicity, ability, age, sex, capability, position, and life style but also improve friendly environment throughout responsive legislation based on long-term planning. Although, the styles are considered some indicators, it is ignored the other important characteristics. Therefore, the existing styles never achieve standard level of satisfaction of different people. The goal of the research is to introduce meta-postmodern style as supplement stylistic approach. The style tries to consider all important indicators that create a strategic long-term planning for different generations. Various characteristics of new style can be applied to improve the quality of human life and provide a health, livable and sustainable planning for all users.

At the XXIV World Congress of Architecture (UIA), held in Tokyo in 2011 after the historically devastating events in Japan in March 2011, professionals and students working in architectural and urban fields consequently made a pledge to "promote responsibility within our profession, support architects and architecture, and enhance the regional quality of life for all people, together with governments and others, by closing the gaps in social justice, whilst working towards sustainability". This commitment is expressed in the idea of the cooperation of well-known architects, architecture students and local communities in the creation of architecture in selected examples of completed buildings in South-East and South Asia, particular in Cambodia and Sri Lanka. The architects referred to the traditional local materials and construction techniques that had been forgotten or superseded by global ones, and rediscovered centuries-old solutions, which in turn allowed the appropria...
Despite the rise to prominence of sustainable planning, the state of urgency and the pressure imposed by the extreme competition between metropolitan territories reduces sustainability to a market-oriented doctrine for deregulated urban development. The aim of this article is an exploration of the current Athenian urban crisis, by centring on sustainable urban development plans, territorial planning institutions, and urban policies. To this end, the phenomenon of urban crisis is explained as a derivative of the failure of sustainability reforms. By establishing a link between the institutional framework governing urban development and the success or failure of sustainability reforms, this article seeks to contribute to the discussion around the attainability, scope and impact of sustainable urban development plans. Through the hypothesis that as long as territorial planning is used as means towards speculative urban development, it will only be equivalent to that of a real estate facilitating mechanism, it is argued that the urban development model of Athens, as well as the role that institutions have in its shaping, is incompatible with any notion of sustainability. The main contribution of this article is to potentially help towards developing a critical reflection on how projects, plans, territories and sustainability should be approached.

Effects of Sustainability Paradigm on ArchitectureIJMERJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: This paper delves into effects of sustainability on architectural theory and practice. Ideas related to environmental protection from the past decades, cumulated in sustainability as unique global action. Circumstances were not in favour of necessary level of requested changes, but positive effects are evident in adjustment of legal base, new procedures and standards. Concept of sustainable architecture is proclaimed mainstream, faded by selective interpretation and perceptible lag in developing of theoretical background. Real critical observation and researches of sustainability and sustainable architecture are still very rare. Reasons for it are many, first of all not all of architects understand sustainable architecture as relevant and it is not rare misunderstanding of sustainable architecture as energy efficiency eco-tecture or other environmentally related “tecture”. Furthermore, building industry in its complexity is typically tardiness in acceptance of anything new in general. However, sustainable architecture is positive in its essence but rising confusion about it has to be halted by more clarified definitions, qualitative researches and developing of more solid theoretical bases. Otherwise it will lose positivity, transferred on semantic level where will spread, and atomise to its limits and fade away

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

5. Architecture and Sustainability
At our campus in Ghent, the International Master of Science in Architecture is concerned with
the current theory and practice of architecture and sustainability.
The Brundtland report (United Nations, 1987) defines sustainable development as
‘development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs’. The United Nations in 2005 referred to the
‘interdependent and mutually reinforcing pillars’ of sustainable development as economic
development, social development and environmental protection.
6. Translating these three pillars for sustainable architecture, they would
entail: providing access to high quality and healthy living and working
environments for all, finding ways to create socially sustainable
environments at different scales and a wise use of natural resources.
Technical considerations, together with more conceptual or strategic
issues, are dealt with in this two-year program about architecture and
sustainability.
Central in the program of the International Master of Science in
Architecture is a critical reflection about architecture and its
social, cultural or environmental role for society.
7. Architecture and Sustainability
Based on a highly interdisciplinary learning process of integrated research and ‘research by
design’, students are expected to determine a theoretical stance on current issues with particular
emphasis on how aspects of sustainability, universal design, urban ecology and energy-efficient
technologies may contribute to the development of more sustainable human settlements.
The Master program is organized in 4 semesters, linked by the following building up of
complexity and critical attitude:
sem 1. ATTITUDE: FRAMING (H&T)
sem 2. READING: REFRAMING (BT)
sem 3. SYSTEMS: MULTIPLE SCALES (relation sem 4) (BT)
sem 4. CRITICAL SUSTAINABILITY: COMPLEXITY, MASTER DISSERTATION (BT)
19. Urban Projects and Urban Cultures
In the field of Architecture and Urban Design, a global awareness is growing, questioning
established development and settlement patterns regarding future societal needs and
ensuing planning strategies and architectural interventions. Whereas until now, Western
society could take its advantageous position for granted, the current fast-forward global
development increasingly strains the western and European model, inducing a whole range of
urban planning and architectural challenges.
Facing the consequences of an aging society and a post-industrial and knowledge-based
economy, these developments stand in stark contrast with rapidly developing economies and
a still expanding population worldwide. Instigating important and unchartered societal shifts,
our conception of urbanity and the city is fundamentally affected. Traditional urban planning
methods and architectural strategies might not offer the necessary tools to recognize and
address these future challenges and therefore need to be reconsidered.
20. Within these changing context and transition processes, the International
Urban Projects and Urban Cultures Master seeks to research, develop and
teach alternative architectural and urban planning tools, not so much
aimed at reinventing urban landscapes, but as it were to edit the given
condition from within.
A critical and coherent attitude towards recent urban phenomena is
considered the base for research and design at different levels.
sem 1: EXPLORING THE CITY (H&T)
sem 2: RETHINKING THE CITY (H&T)
sem 3: DESIGNING (IN) THE CITY (BT) (relation sem 4)
sem 4: DESIGNING (IN) THE CITY, MASTER DISSERTATION (H&T)
