The construction industry, a cornerstone of modern development, must meet the growing demand for new buildings while minimizing environmental impact. As global populations rise and living standards improve, the need for sustainable building practices has never been more apparent. Traditional construction methods and materials contribute significantly to carbon emissions, resource depletion, and biodiversity loss. Addressing these issues requires innovative solutions that balance development needs with environmental stewardship. Innovations in Energy Efficient Construction Through Sustainable Materials offers a comprehensive response to this pressing problem. The book explores pioneering appr...
In her voice, Yamuna, the river, shares her timeless journey—a tale of life, resilience, and silent suffering. Flowing through ancient myths and modern struggles, she pleads with us to see her scars and hear her cries. “Use my waters,” she urges, “but with care, for my survival is intertwined with yours.” If we pay attention to her call and change our demands, Yamuna will heal herself. But if we remain blind to her plight, a grave danger looms over all who depend on her. This is more than a river’s story, it’s a wake-up call to save her before it’s too late.
This book is the first comprehensive overview of the pioneering works, events, and people that contributed to the paradigm shift defined by computation in architecture. Only recently has computation fostered profound new ways of designing, fabricating, constructing, and thinking about architecture. While the profession sits at the end of the beginning of this historically transformative shift, it is now possible to look back upon the rapidly maturing landscape of projects, influencers, and tools that have finally begun to catch up with the visionary thinking of the past. Readers are guided through the fascinating and fast-paced historical timeline of the development of computation in archite...
This volume promotes the use of Historical GIS (H-GIS) for both education and research. It consists of a coherent set of chapters that allow readers to study the spatial histories of cities, infrastructure, landscapes, and more across Europe. Each chapter is accompanied by Electronic Supplementary Material (ESM) including GIS data, guides and complementary material in .pdf format, and more. To date, there are no similar materials available in this field compiled in a single book. Interdisciplinarity in spatial research is a main theme of this volume, and the text and tools provided here allow readers to combine inputs relating to the study of earth sciences, population, urban growth and tran...
Applied modeling understands, analyzes, and solves real-world problems across diverse domains like economics, engineering, public health, and environmental science. By transforming complex data into structured, quantitative representations, applied models enable decision-makers to test hypotheses, forecast outcomes, and evaluate the impacts of scenarios. These models integrate theory with empirical data to offer practical solutions. Whether through statistical tools, simulations, optimization techniques, or machine learning algorithms, applied models bridge the gap between abstract theory and actionable insight. In a data-driven world, building effective applied models is essential for innov...
