Hereby, I tried to make a case study report on the mixed-use building, for the sake of my design development. I tried to choose futuristic development on the condition of present Bangladesh.
Hope this study will help anyone to gain an idea on Mixed-use building

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.

BUILDING : 30 ST.MARY AXE,LONDON, U.K
STYLE : HIGH TECH ARCHITECTURE ,
NEO FUTURISM
FUNCTION : OFFICE SKYSCRAPERS
OWNER : SAFRA GROUP
ARCHITECT : NORMAN FOSTER
CONSTRUCTION : 2001-2004
HEIGHT : 180M (591ft)
FLOORS : 41
AREA : 47,950sq.m
ABOUT PROJECT:
4. THEGHERKIN
ABOUT PROJECT:
30 ST. MARY AXE IS KNOWN AS ‘ THE
GHERKIN ‘ BECAUSE THE PLANS LOOK LIKE
GHERKIN IE: THE SLICE OF CUCUMBUR.
IT IS LONDONS FIRST ECOLOGICAL GREEN
SKYSCRAPER.
IT IS ONE OF THE HIGHEST BUILDING IN
LONDON.
IT WAS HONOURED WITH THE AWARD OF
BEST BUILT PROJECT IN 2006.
5. THEGHERKIN
PRELIMNARY DESIGN IDEA:
Breaking the hierarchy of solid
rectangular boxes in the vicinity.
Offers minimal resistance to wind,
improving the environment for people on
the ground and reducing the load on the
building.
The slim base reduces the reflections
and increase daylight penetration.
The bullet shaped building responds
to specific demands of small site
area.

12. THEGHERKIN
SUSTAINABILITY AND VENTILTION:
Differing air pressures and double skin façade allow natural ventilation.
Six spiralling light wells allow daylight.
Windows are computer controlled and they open only when
temperature is between 20-26 deg. And wind speed is less than 10mph
13. THEGHERKIN
CIRCULATION:
Each of the two main stairwells contain 1037 stairs.
It has 23 lifts out of which 18 are passenger lifts.
It has well designed corridors with an professional ambience created by
use of lightings and interiors.
Two special shuttle elevators serve the top floors of the building.
14. THEGHERKIN
FOUNDATION :
Because of site restrictions and in
order to create a monolithic
foundation, all the piles were
poured in one day.
No.of piles : 333
Length of pile : 9km
Dia of pile : 750mm
15. THEGHERKIN
GENERAL STRUCTURE :
The structure is based on primary elements
1. DIAGRID
2. CORE
Diagrid is the main structure resisting horizontal and gravitional
loads.
The core resists the gravitional loads.
16. THEGHERKIN
DIAGRID :
Aluminium coated tube steel.
Series of two stories high.
One full diamond is four stories
tall.
Diagrid is a series of triangle
that combine the gravity and
lateral support into one.
It makes the building stiff,
efficient and lighter than
traditional high rise buildings
It was later on adopted in many
other buildings.
18. THEGHERKIN
CONNECTIONS :
A special connector transfers the loads
at NODES which are rigid ,monolithic
and welded properly.
The core has the rigid connections of
steel beams and columns
The diagrid has the rigid node
connections at intersecting members.
19. THEGHERKIN
CONCLUSION :
THE BUILDING ALLOWS TO INVESTIGATE HOW A CITY DEVELOPS
AND CHANGES OVER A TIME.
IT IS GREAT EXAMPLE OF CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE
SURROUBDED BY MEDIEVAL CITY.
THE EXCELLENTLY EMPHASISED STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF THE
BUILDING MAKES IT STAND OUT IN THE VICINITY
THE ARCHITECT MADE A GREAT EFFORT TO MAKE THE
AMALGAMATION OF ARCHITECTURE , CLIMATE AND STRUCTURE.
20. THEGHERKIN
MATERIALS :
35km of steel, 10000 tons are used.
24000 sq.m of glass is used on façade.
Recyclable and recycled material was used
wherever possible.
The exterior cladding consists of 5500 flat
triangular , diamond shaped glass panels.
