Visualising Ecological Literacy

For over two decades, ecological literacy has sought to integrate foundational premises for addressing environmental problems. Here Jody Boehnert of EcoLabs explains how she has developed graphics resources and tools for designers in order for them to understand the perceptual shifts that are necessary to learn the causality and complexity of ecology and how it is embedded in human relations.     

The Aesthetics of Air: Experiments in Visualising the Invisible

Malte Wagenfeld tackles the difficult problem of visualising air, and in his physical experiments reveals a world of eddies, swirls and wafting particles circulating around moving bodies. Here he offers a literal and conceptual glimpse at the invisible nature of atmosphere. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Visualising Household Energy Use in the Interest of Developing Sustainable Energy Systems

In times of climate change political goals concern a reduction in total energy consumption and to use energy more efficiently. To achieve this, users need to transform their behaviour and start reflecting on their energy use. This paper discusses three different methods for visualising energy use, namely information tools, keeping time-diaries and using the ‘Power-Aware Cord’. Each method has its pros and cons, but combining different methods could prove a useful way to draw attention to household energy use and the possibilities for energy reduction. By combining the data gained from the different methods, it will be more likely that strategies will be found that are better suited to people's behaviour.     

STRUCTURAL MODELS IN DESIGN EDUCATION: Visualising Form and Behaviour

In architectural education the goal of teaching structures has a different focus than in engineering. The architect must be knowledgeable about a wide range of structural issues that influence form, material, and construction. Yet it is unrealistic to assume that the architect should acquire the expertise in structural analysis and design possessed by the engineer. This article considers the dilemma and suggests that a greater emphasis on visualisation through the use of models might contribute to an alternative approach. The characteristics of three types of structural models: form, behaviour, and analogue, are examined in both physical and digital examples.

生长在深圳的我和我们

<正>在很多人心目中,深圳是个简单而缺乏厚度的城市,深圳的建筑和建筑师圈儿也是如此,但这些年,它们却呈现出丰富而有趣的状态。深圳有着最市场化的设计机构,又有着中国最具专业性和理想主义的规划主管部门。深圳不是中国建筑最主流话语权的阵地,却是很多当代最有影响力的建筑师成长过的重要地方。深圳是大轴线、大绿化、大马路式新城规划的始作俑者,却又是正面研究城中村的先行家。深圳是最商业化的城市,又是倡导公民建筑的中国建筑传媒奖发源地,也是目前中国最具学
