The house shows signs of aging and significant structural damage. This article presents a case study of the preservation of Samara House through a highly digitized reconstruction framework. The study presents an innovative digital reconstruction and restoration of the historic built heritage using advanced Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) and Ground Penetration Radar (GPR) technologies to achieve accurate and fast documentation, modeling, and digital reconstruction. The research outputs build the basis of the restoration of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Samara house and the effects of structural degradation. The study creates a better understanding of structural degradation in historic architecture and changes how we approach landmark preservation and conservation. Finally, the project exposes architecture and engineering students at different levels to multidisciplinary learning through pragmatic and productive research to produce a new education model that prioritizes interdisciplinary collaboration with an attentive eye to the future of digital research in historic preservation and restoration design.","PeriodicalId":36812,"journal":{"name":"Technology Architecture and Design","volume":"29 1","pages":"232 - 245"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87911556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The novel use of large-scale physical models allowed the team to navigate the complicated nature of generative form-finding for lightweight structures by balancing the various parameters of forms and forces. Although physical modeling was initially beneficial, it became obsolete as refinement and confirmation became requisite. The cable-net structure exceeded conventional capacity for analysis, which drove the engineers to evolve their confirmative modeling methods. Instead of abandoning the parametric logic of these physical models, the design team embraced this approach and applied their complementary interdisciplinary expertise to create two groundbreaking computational modeling techniques that are still in use today. Their modeling techniques exceeded their mandate for simple confirmation and evolved into the first generative and optimizing parametric modeling options for lightweight structures. The findings will show how the evolving use of these models and the collaborative complications that ensued situate contemporary challenges of experimental design, technology, and practice.","PeriodicalId":36812,"journal":{"name":"Technology Architecture and Design","volume":"2012 1","pages":"212 - 231"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82639051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Author Mark Kanazawa asserts there has been a growing interest in environmental studies across colleges in the US, with many new programs focusing on environmental studies. This book is a resource well-suited for introductory educational purposes. It provides coherent and easily accessible accounts of research history and paradigms. It provides accessible examples of research questions and research projects from environmental studies. The author draws on his experience as an economist working in interdisciplinary research teams to highlight and provide examples of environmental research problems explored in disciplinary collaboration. The book consists of 19 chapters with content that roughly falls into three categories: quantitative research, methods for qualitative research, and themes that crosscut the qualitative/quantitative divide. The book includes basic methodological approaches of ethnography, spatial analysis, and GIS and approaches to data collection such as sampling, interviewing, and surveying. The book provides chapters on ethics and on writing a research proposal. The strength of the book is its accessibility, tone, and breadth. It provides a relevant historical framing of research methods and history of knowledge, describes a range of research methods, makes them accessible for student projects in environmental studies, and supports educators and students with suggestions for exercises and discussion points. The book has a friendly and easy-going tone and includes helpful boxes that frame essential learning points, including summaries of key points. For example, on page 3: “Bottom line: It took a series of scientists, doing painstaking research and building on previous scientific findings, to give us the knowledge of global warming that we have today.” The topics mentioned as potential research foci are “ongoing climate change, air, and water pollution, increasingly scarce freshwater resources, production of hazardous wastes, depleted natural resources, destruction of rain forests, habitat destruction, [and] growing lists of endangered species.”1 These are complex and dynamic phenomena of intraand intersystemic characters. They are wicked problems—problems with no easy solutions and problems typically characterized by disagreement among stakeholders about what has caused them, how they should be perceived and how we might handle them.2 The wicked nature of environmental problems forms the basis of a book critique. The presented methods aim at academic discussion and policy more than actual change-making for real-world impact. The book does not engage with designerly ways of producing knowledge through making, prototyping, or other cyclical, constructive, and generative processes. Nor with process-oriented design approaches such as participatory design. Students of technology, architecture, design, and engineering most likely will want to supplement the book with designand practice-orie","PeriodicalId":36812,"journal":{"name":"Technology Architecture and Design","volume":"128 1","pages":"247 - 248"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74578130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Schultz, Julian Wang","doi":"10.1080/24751448.2022.2114231","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/24751448.2022.2114231","url":null,"abstract":"TA D 6 : 2 Nowadays, the design process for a building is increasingly difficult to define as it may involve innovative material integration, advanced design computation, and analytical decision-making, combined with various engineering and technical applications. Reflecting on this, the necessary and productive links between architectural design and engineering are undisputable. The peer-review papers in this issue demonstrate shifts in research perspectives not only closely linking engineering and design tools but also focusing on a critical analysis of the design and engineering process, including formats and voices frequently not considered in the past. The papers in Engineering confirm a rising recognition of collaborative authorship of many team members and continuing horizontal integration of disciplines observing the design phase, the outcome, and the lifecycle of structures. Three papers of the five in this issue address history and theoryrelated themes, adding further nuance to existing bodies of knowledge. In the twentieth century, numerous architects and engineers expressed the need to bridge design and engineering, advocating for integrated design methods and fabrication workflows. The Italian engineer Pier Luigi Nervi advocated for “architectural resilience,” an evolving relationship between architectural materiality, techniques, and forms. As laid out by Kristin Jones and Zaida Garcia-Requejo in their paper “Mies’ Teaching Laboratory: from Convention Hall to McCormick Place,” Mies van der Rohe predicted a type of “structural architecture,” fostering teamwork between structural engineers and architects in his classroom at IIT and practice. The authors expand the existing body of scholarly research around Mies van der Rohe by investigating the collaborative nature of the classroom, identifying influential teaching principles, thesis projects, and buildings acting as touchstones in the development of McCormick Place (Lakeside) Convention Center in Chicago. Students thesis projects, oral histories, and less frequently heard voices are part of the investigation, documenting a complex network of links between Mies' unbuilt proposal for a Convention Hall for Chicago and McCormick Place (Lakeside) Convention Center. In “The Evolution of Modeling for Lightweight Structures: Creating the Munich Olympic Roof (1967—72),” Robert Whitehead contextualizes the evolving modeling methods used during the conception of the Munich Olympic stadium roof by discussing the complexities of structural behavior found in lightweight cable nets. The paper also accounts for the innovative contributions of many more team members than are commonly acknowledged and illustrates the unique interdisciplinary roles of the architects and engineers involved in a dynamic, collaborative process.

Meanwhile, tools for physically constructing and delivering projects change slowly, outpaced by those developed by and for the design community. The result is an untenable pairing of innovative designs and conventional project delivery. We need new tools to execute ambitious and novel strategies to support project delivery successfully. Construction-centric tools offer an opportunity for increased participation in computational problem-solving and expand the diversity of expertise underlying AEC software. During the physical construction of any project, fabricated parts arrive on-site, where coordination problems surface, testing project assumptions where issues of fitment and trade (mis)coordination become apparent. At the construction site, costs are highest, while the work carries the most risk. This quantifiably riskiest time for any project is also when tradespeople have the least access to computational tools (Figure 1). Field personnel are under extreme pressure to make daily progress because of fieldwork’s high cost/risk. Collecting measurement data and making informed decisions quickly is transformative. In response, Zahner R&D, supported by Local 2 Field Superintendent expertise, built a software tool called SurveyLink, linking real-time survey data on-site to a collaborative 3D model, extending computational problem-solving to the field.
