Refurbishing Faestningens Materialgard： A Heritage Complex

F estningens Materialgard is a listed complex located in downtown Copenhagen. The refurbishment of the listed complex was studied to provide knowledge on how a process for refurbishing heritage buildings can be carried out successfully, as refurbishment of heritage buildings is often a complicated process. The process shows how to choose, evaluate and implement measures creating synergy between the interests of preserving heritage values and to develop affordable refurbishment that meets the requirements for the future use of the building. The refurbishment followed included restoration, energy upgrading and refurbishment of the individual buildings that make up the listed complex. The process focuses on the cooperation and dialogue between the parties involved. F estningens Materialgard is a case study where the Heritage Agency, the Danish Working Environment Authority and the owner as a team cooperated in identifying feasible refurbishment measures. Through the process the owner was supported by architects and engineers. Focus is put on how, to identify potential energy savings and, to decide on energy upgrading measures when refurbishing and restoring listed buildings. The refurbished Faestningens Materialgard is visualized in photos.     

From Vision to Reality

Architecture means team work. Within the team the architect plays a key role but must at all times remain flexible. I have often asked myself how much of its design the Casa Malaparte owes to its owner, the poet Malaparte, and how much to the architect Libera. There are no hierarchies within the science of architecture,

Prevision of Delay in Brazilian Residential Unit Construction Contracts

The aim of this paper is to verify the existence of a clause in contracts of promise of property sale which defines the consequences of delay in the delivery of property, and to discover whether owners demanded any compensation for delays occurred. The number of buildings delivered after the scheduled deadline in two cities between December 2009 and January 2011 was found （n = 542）, and a sample of 82 residential units was taken. In order to obtain the data, a semi-structured questionnaire was given to the homeowners. It was observed that only 35% （n = 29） of the contracts included a penalty clause for delay. However, in 19 of the 29 contracts the clause regarding delay came with other clauses that allowed the company to delay the delivery of the building for up to six months. This clause is considered null in Brazilian legislation. As for compensation, only one （1.82%） owner demanded that the company provide a rental property during the period of delay. It could be concluded that contractors are not observing Brazilian legislation regarding the delay in the delivery of residential units. In addition, conformism is perceived in the attitude of the homeowners.

The traps behind the failure of Malpasset arch dam, France, in 1959

The case of the Malpasset arch dam failure in 1959 has been widely exposed in scientifc and technical forums and papers.The focus here is on the many traps which have confused the whole chain of bodies and persons involved,owner,designer,geologist,contractor,up to the state management offcers.When the frst traps were hidden inside geology,many more appeared,as well geotechnical,technical,fortuitous,and administrative.In addition to such factual factors,human and organizational factors may be today easily identifed,when none of them was yet suspected.Both dam safety and rock mechanics benefted from the studies done since the Malpasset case,most of them within one decade.

电阻片与外壳间距对SPD模块散热的影响研究

氧化锌压敏电阻自身的热效应引起限压型电涌保护器短路起火的事件越来越多,为了保证配电系统的安全运行,有必要对SPD的散热特性进行研究。当SPD内部存在多个电阻片并联结构时,电阻片组与SPD外壳之间存在着较大的间距,间距距离的大小会影响SPD的散热性能。运用传热学原理对SPD进行了理论传热计算,计算结果表明,间距距离越小,SPD散热能力越强。以3个电阻片并联且左右两侧间距不等的SPD为例,通过试验研究不同间距距离下的SPD降温曲线,结合传热学计算结果分析间距大小对SPD散热能力的影响。实验结果表明:在进行SPD结构设计时,减小电阻片与外壳之间间距能有效提高其散热性能。

In the shadow of the city: the fringe around the Australian metropolis in the 1950s

Metropolitan plans were prepared in Australia from 1948 to 1962 for four of its five biggest cities - the state capitals of Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide. They contain the first analyses and proposals for their rural-urban fringes. The earliest, that for Sydney, is the most visionary and radical and defined a Green Belt to contain and shape a slowly growing city; to provide amenities and recreation for citydwellers; and to reconstructa countryside ravaged by 'promiscuous urbanisation'. The next two plans for Melbourne and Perth are much more pragmatic, dealing with the organisation of headlong metropolitan expansion with surrounding rural areas seen as suburbs-in-waiting within servicing and topographical constraints. The last, that for Adelaide is a mixture of trend planning with strong design themes partly expressed in the fringe. These are forthright exercises in the master-plan mould. Developments since the 1950s regarding the fringe are briefly reviewed in the case of Sydney. These show much more complex issues and perceptions arising, particularly regarding natural resource management. There is consequently an absorbing challenge in describing these dynamic images, and also in shaping a policy-making process to reflect and handle them. There is also a possibility, apparent in the metropolitan plans of the 1950s, of cultural differences between the cities in this regard.
