The document discusses plans for improving security in a future city. It proposes upgrading police/army forces through better equipment, training, and salaries. It also suggests educating the public on safety, strictly enforcing laws with heavier punishments, limiting illegal immigration through tighter controls, and fortifying city defenses with strongholds and high-tech screening equipment. The city would aim to be self-sufficient through water management, waste disposal, and renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. Transportation would transition from fossil fuels to electric and magnetic levitation systems. Disaster response would be improved with rapid air transport of rescue teams, robots, food, water, and medicine. Green buildings would implement energy and water conservation practices like solar power, daylighting
This document outlines the requirements for a final project assignment on designing a better future city. Students will first complete individual tasks to research and propose a new city through a pamphlet. They will consider elements of cities and address a current issue such as disaster resilience or migration. Selected proposals will then be developed into group models and presentations. Students must consider urban planning principles and include zoning, infrastructure, sustainability, and meeting community needs in their city designs. The goal is to apply knowledge of natural and built environments to propose livable, resilient cities.

This document provides an overview of landscape architecture. It defines landscape architecture as improving the aesthetic appearance of land by changing its contours, adding decorative features, or planting trees and flowers. The scope of work for landscape architects includes master planning, site planning, landscape design, project management, and implementation. Landscape architects work with clients, engineers, surveyors, city planners, and contractors. They are responsible for creating plans and designs, working with clients, partnering with installation professionals, site planning, and environmental planning. Common drawings used include site plans, bubble plans, landscape plans, plot plans, elevations, sections, planting plans, renderings, and perspectives. Examples of landscape projects are also provided.
Jim saves a girl he likes from an evil mastermind seeking revenge against his father. The comic explores five psychological concepts: pluralistic ignorance, which is when a dangerous situation is not addressed due to an assumption of no danger; impression management, which is consciously or unconsciously influencing others' perceptions; extrinsic motivation, which drives people by tangible rewards rather than intrinsic enjoyment; self-efficacy, referring to one's belief in their ability to perform; and accommodation, which is modifying existing views when new information is encountered. The comic was created by four psychology students to illustrate these concepts.
The document defines and provides information about cones, conical frustums, and how to calculate their volume and total surface area. It explains that a cone tapers from a circular base to a point, and can be a right cone or oblique cone. Formulas are given for calculating the volume and total surface area of cones and conical frustums. Examples are worked through applying the formulas to calculate volume and surface area of different cone and frustum shapes.
This document discusses soil texture and the percentage of sand in soils. Soils are distinguished by observing the percentage of three particle types - sand, silt, and clay - with soils mapped on a soil texture triangle based on their composition.
In our daily life, we are constantly bombarded with websites, applications, and games that push us to exercise, buy products, quit smoking, use the public transport and more…How do they manage to persuade us? How do these technologies motivate us and hijack our decision-making processes?
This talk was originally given at the Pint of Science festival.
1. Students are required to complete a final project involving developing a proposal for a small construction project on an empty land between 50m x 50m to 50m x 70m in size.
2. Working in groups of two, students must identify a specific site and conduct a site analysis. Individually, each student must propose a development serving one or more of six designated purposes and identify the professions and their tasks required.
3. Students must submit a minimum 20-page bounded report comprising their group site analysis and individual proposal components. The report will be assessed based on demonstrated understanding of the brief, quality and clarity of content, documentation method, and overall presentation.
Project 3 residential landscape project march 2015joshualimlbn
This document outlines the requirements for a final residential landscape project. Students are asked to design the landscape for a residence based on the same site from a previous project. The project involves developing a project description, conceptual diagram, schematic plan, master plan set including plans, sections and elevations, and a cost estimation and maintenance plan. Students will submit presentation boards with all components and progress drawings. The project aims to teach the landscape design process and representation of ideas. Students will be assessed based on demonstrated understanding, depth of research, graphic communication skills, design ideas, and quality of work.
The document summarizes two community parks - one in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia called Desa Park City, and one in Estero, Florida called Estero Community Park. Desa Park City was built on an abandoned quarry site and features a mini stream, lake, jogging paths, playground, and shelters. Estero Community Park is located on 55 acres and includes four lakes, an outdoor amphitheater, shelters, and facilities for activities like volleyball, lawn bowling, and dog park. Both parks act as green spaces for public recreation and community interaction.
Project 1 experiential landscape mac 2015joshualimlbn
This document outlines the objectives, tasks, and submission requirements for a group project on experiential landscapes. Students will be divided into groups to research and present on one of 10 park categories. For their selected category, they must describe two case studies - one local and one international - including the historical background, characteristics, contextual study, and common activities. They must also explain the landscape features and elements of the two sites. Groups will have 10 minutes to present their findings, including images and citations, and must submit a video recording and presentation files on a CD for assessment. The goal is for students to distinguish different park categories, characteristics, and case studies locally and internationally.
This document outlines an oral presentation assignment for a group of students. It includes instructions for researching and presenting on the topic of a future city or future plans for an existing city. Students will be assessed based on their understanding of the topic, organization of ideas, use of references, and presentation skills. Groups of 5-6 students must submit their 20-25 minute presentations by June 22nd-23rd, 2015. The objectives are to provide students with oral presentation skills and experience cooperating in a team.
The document discusses sketching and provides step-by-step instructions for sketching a frying pan. It explains that sketching is useful for generating ideas in design courses. The writer decides to sketch a frying pan because it is easy and most classmates would likely choose it. They describe cleaning their workspace and gathering supplies like pencils and paper. The first step is to sketch the circular pan body using a 2B pencil, then add the handle and darken the lines with pen. Finally, shading is added below and inside the pan, and an egg is drawn cooking inside to complete the sketch. The conclusion states that with passion and practice, sketching can become easier at generating ideas.
