The document is a presentation for a community development project proposing foul ball netting at a baseball field in Alamo Heights. It provides details on the existing site, proposed site plan showing the netting layout, and specifications for the 12-foot high accessory structure to be constructed of concrete blocks and have a shingle roof. Public notification was conducted and the Architectural Review Board previously approved the project's compatibility at their October 20th meeting, with one response supporting, one neutral, and one opposing the netting proposal.
Floating accommodation is up to 27% more environmentally friendly than land-based accommodation due to producing lower CO2 emissions through more compact construction and lower heating/cooling needs, and requiring minimal site preparation and remediation before and after deployment. Floating accommodation also allows for possible time savings compared to land-based accommodation by allowing construction to occur off-site.
Floating accommodation vessels can be up to 27% more environmentally friendly than traditional shore-based accommodation for comparable projects due to lower CO2 emissions from more compact construction, reduced heating and cooling needs, and minimal site preparation and remediation required both before and after deployment compared to land-based accommodation. An independent evaluation found floating accommodation performs better in terms of CO2 emissions across the project lifecycle from initial site work through construction, deployment, and site rehabilitation.
Floating accommodation vessels produce up to 27% less CO2 emissions than comparable shore-based accommodation due to their more compact construction which requires less heating and cooling, and because they need only minimal site preparation and remediation before and after deployment unlike land-based accommodation which produces more CO2 during construction and site work.

Beyond Zero Carbon Housing - Ben Hopkins Rachael Hibbert Chris DaltonCreative Energy Homes
A one day symposium on zero/low carbon sustainable homes took place at The University of Nottingham on the 24th October, 2012. The event offered professionals within the construction industry a unique opportunity to gain added and significant insight into the innovations, policies and legislation which are driving the construction of zero/low carbon energy efficient homes both here in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. It explored solutions to sustainability issues “beyond” the zero carbon agenda. BZCH followed on from the successful ‘Towards Zero Carbon Housing’ symposium the University hosted in 2007. This event is part of the Europe Wide Ten Act10n project which is supported by the European Commission Intelligent Energy Europe.

This document summarizes a post-tsunami reconstruction project in Sri Lanka conducted by Practical Action. The project built 175 houses using cost-effective and environmentally friendly technologies. It trained nearly 1,000 construction workers. A follow-up study 5 years later found that while over 60% of residents were satisfied, issues included houses becoming too hot, incomplete plastering, and construction defects. The technologies used in the project were not widely adopted beyond it and the training did not significantly improve livelihoods of workers. Lessons included using more familiar designs and construction methods and improving quality control.

Case Study : Post Tsunami Housing in Kirinda by Shigeru Banbaburajiv2007
The document summarizes a post-tsunami housing project in Kirinda, Sri Lanka designed by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban. 67 houses were constructed using locally sourced materials like compressed earth blocks and timber to be affordable and suitable for the tropical climate. Key design elements included cross ventilation, a central courtyard, and doors separating public and private spaces for women's privacy. However, some residents found issues with privacy, weather protection, and encouraging use of new materials. The project highlights the need to carefully consider local customs, climate, and educating residents when introducing new designs.
ALTERNATE BUILDING MATERIALS & TECHNOLOGICAL ALTERNATIVES IN CONSTRUCTIONRajesh Kolli
Construction and civil engineering activities have experienced a rapid growth due to improvements in procurement of building materials.
However, the current scenario in the developing construction industry has posed many challenges due to some unsustainable aspects of the highly polluting and the exhaustive nature of building materials.
At the same time, it has also created opportunities for innovative and unconventional resources to emerge due to the widening gap in demand and supply of building materials, as well as the need for energy efficient and economical methods of construction.

The objective is the structural design of the building. The structure must satisfy the
requirements of the architectural design and of the different functionalities. The
structure must be optimized in terms of material amount and construction principles.
The structure must allow the functional flexibility required by the architectural design.
The structure must be designed according to principles of sustainability and
demountability.
This document presents a design workshop proposal for a sports park master plan. It discusses potential functions like indoor and outdoor sports, leisure activities, and social events. Diagrams show concepts for the stadium structure, climate considerations, and development phases. Maximizing use of the space for both large crowds and private events is emphasized.

The document discusses concepts for redesigning a stadium in Rotterdam. It focuses on making the stadium more integrated with the city, reflecting aspects of Rotterdam like its culture, sports, and history through the architecture. Some key points discussed include making the stadium more open and connected to the surrounding area instead of being inward-facing; incorporating other programs like commercial space; and designing the architecture to be dramatic, exciting, and enhance the experience for spectators. Structural ideas involve using sliding pitches and flexible stadium elements. Climate and sustainability are also addressed through options like generating renewable energy and reusing materials from the existing stadium.
