"Chinese Experimental Architecture Or French Poststructuralist Theory starts with a paradox: how the Chinese Cultural Revolution-through its adaptation by French Theory and French Theory's subsequent adaptation by Chinese Experimental Architecture-shaped the Chinese reformative effort to redefine itself, amidst its struggle against colonial dynamics, and against the Cultural Revolution. Through French Poststructuralist Theory, the project creates a critical narrative to access the Chinese Experimental Architecture movement of the late 1990s and early 2000s and its legacy in contemporary Chinese architecture. At the same time, it provides, in retrospect, an opportunity to approach French Theo...
THE LAST SUPPER 03 On the other side of the lake under the white cloth, there were six young ladies sitting inside, some were eating fruit and looking at the other side of the lake, covering their mouths and laughing at something, some were holding a pen and thinking about something, looking at the way these women were dressed, they were either rich or noble, they were all young ladies from officials in the capital. Among them, there was a young lady wearing a light, tight-fitting yellow armor, her eyes were clear and strange, as clear as the jade of the West Sea, it was Ye Linger, the only female commander of the capital that Fan Xian had seen when he went to the outskirts of the capital. Ye Lingers eyes swept across the other side of the lake, turned her head to look at Fan Ruo Ruo and said: - Ruo Ruo, I dont recognize you, did you come today too?
Experiments in architectural education in the post–World War II era that challenged and transformed architectural discourse and practice. In the decades after World War II, new forms of learning transformed architectural education. These radical experiments sought to upend disciplinary foundations and conventional assumptions about the nature of architecture as much as they challenged modernist and colonial norms, decentered building, imagined new roles for the architect, and envisioned participatory forms of practice. Although many of the experimental programs were subsequently abandoned, terminated, or assimilated, they nevertheless helped shape and in some sense define architectural dis...
Household finance studies is a relatively recent field, exploring a growing understanding of how households make financial decisions relating to the functions of consumption, payment, risk management, borrowing and investing; how institutions provide goods and services to satisfy these financial functions of households; and how interventions by firms, governments and other parties affect the provision of financial services. This timely book analyses existing findings about household behavior as well as findings related to policy interventions. With international case studies, this book reviews a topic of global importance and brings a crucial up-to-date survey of the field for researchers and postgraduate students.

InMed-18 papers cover major areas of 'Digital Architecture for Internet of Things, Big data, Cloud and Mobile IT in Healthcare' and 'Advanced ICT for Medical and Healthcare'. STS-18 papers provide a comprehensive overview of various aspects of current research into intelligent transportation technology.
The term “emerging market” refers to a country where incomes are currently low but that is likely to experience rapid growth and increasing economic competitiveness. Identifying emerging markets is important for international development, and for investors they represent intriguing opportunities to reap uncommon gains. Yet many of the characteristics of emerging markets—including demographic shifts, rising educational attainment, and growing urbanization—are also found closer to home, in communities that have been underserved by the existing financial-services system. Gregory Fairchild introduces readers to the rising set of entrepreneurs whose efforts to reach marginalized groups ar...
This book gathers selected papers presented at the KES International Symposium on Smart Transportation Systems (KES STS 2023).
