Narrative Architecture

Narrative Architecture

Nigel Coates

John Wiley Sons Inc
2012
nidottu
The first book to look architectural narrative in the eye Since the early eighties, many architects have used the term "narrative" to describe their work. To architects the enduring attraction of narrative is that it offers a way of engaging with the way a city feels and works. Rather than reducing architecture to mere style or an overt emphasis on technology, it foregrounds the experiential dimension of architecture. Narrative Architecture explores the potential for narrative as a way of interpreting buildings from ancient history through to the present, deals with architectural background, analysis and practice as well as its future development. Authored by Nigel Coates, a foremost figure in the field of narrative architecture, the book is one of the first to address this subject directlyFeatures architects as diverse as William Kent, Antoni Gaudí, Eero Saarinen, Ettore Sottsass, Superstudio, Rem Koolhaas, and FAT to provide an overview of the work of NATO and Coates, as well as chapters on other contemporary designersIncludes over 120 colour photographs Signposting narrative's significance as a design approach that can aid architecture to remain relevant in this complex, multi-disciplinary and multi-everything age, Narrative Architecture is a must-read for anyone with an interest in architectural history and theory.

Operational Risk with Excel and VBA

Operational Risk with Excel and VBA

Praise For Operational Risk with Excel and VBA "Dr. Nigel Da Costa Lewis has produced the most exciting volume ever on operational risk modeling. It is a must for students, practitioners, risk managers, and senior executives. . . I feel this work is the first step in revolutionizing the discipline. Other books in this field tell you in theory, there is little difference between theory and practice. Dr. Lewis’s work tells you what we all know, in practice, there is." –Dr. O.F. Agbaje School of Informatics City University, London "Dr. Nigel Da Costa Lewis has raised the bar for books on operational risk. His book provides a bridge from the theoretical to the practical, and clears the fog between the buzzwords of operational risk management and the realities of useful modeling tools. The inclusion of numerous concrete examples and solutions will make a broad range of modeling techniques accessible to students of management science. Without a doubt, Dr. Lewis has put quality meat on the bare bones of this important management discipline. He is to be applauded for this magnificent effort." –Prof. Bernard Beecher Department of Mathematics City University, New York "Dr. Nigel Da Costa Lewis has produced one of the most exciting and classic reference volumes on operational risk. As only great teachers can, Dr. Lewis makes even the most obtuse mathematics seem easy and intuitive . . . This book is a must for students, practitioners, and anybody interested in this important subject. In short, it is the most comprehensive and up-to-date textbook on operational risk modeling that I have seen." –Dr. Terence Yiu Wa Chow Department of Mathematics, University College London University of London

Geographical Data Analysis

Geographical Data Analysis

Nigel Walford

John Wiley Sons Inc
1995
nidottu
It is increasingly important for the earth science student to appreciate that the acquisition of skills in statistics and computerised data analysis is as much part of modern geography as work in the field, laboratory or library. In this respect, Geographical Data Analysis aims to link the use of statistical techniques by means of computer software, to the acquisition of geographical-knowledge and the scientific method of enquiry. The book has three objectives: to explain basic statistical techniques and demonstrate their application to quantitative geography; to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary for carrying out research projects; and to make the link between statistical analysis and the substantive topics taught as part of a geography course. An important innovative feature of the book is its project-orientated approach, which utilises exemplar projects drawn from human and physical geography. Each exemplar project shows the progress from the conception of the initial research through to the formulation of tentative hypotheses and the subsequent statistical analysis. The projects exemplify both primary and secondary methods for collecting geographical data, with the computer-based application of a wide range of statistical techniques. Thus, these projects allow discussion of sample design, data collection and computerisation, and a selection of appropriate statistical techniques. As such, Geographical Data Analysis integrates quantitative and geographical methodologies and provides a thorough understanding of basic statistical techniques for the undergraduate geography student; it will be of use from first year through to final degree dissertations.

It covers methodologies for climate change impact assessments, techniques for defining credible climate change scenarios, and models for hydrological analysis, before reviewing in some detail, the many published studies into possible changes in hydrological regimes. The bulk of the book is built around a case study of the potential effects of climate change for river flows in Britain. The case study is used to illustrate methods and approaches, and is placed in the broadest context through the literature reviews. It finishes by considering the implications of changes in river flows for water uses and river floodplain activities, as well as for the management of water resources.

Geographical Data

Geographical Data

Nigel Walford

John Wiley Sons Inc
2002

Geographical Data: Characteristics and Sources represents a response to the remarkable growth in the volume of geographical data in recent years, especially in the amount captured directly into a digital format. Information and communication technologies are now the basis for analysing, handling and visualising data about the Earth's surface, and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) provide the tools for performing these tasks within the public, private and educational sectors. This book focuses on the principle sources of geographical data and provides a comprehensive overview of their characteristics and analytical capabilities. Geographical Data: Characteristics and Sources is a unique text in several ways: *Details the characteristics of spatial and thematic geographical data relating to the environmental and human domains. These types of data are remotely sensed, cartographic, census/survey, and administrative/statutory *Highlights the benefits and drawbacks of using geographical data *Focuses on the availability of digital (rather than analogue) geo-referenced datasets *Presents a comparative development of spatial data frameworks from countries across the world in Australasia, Asia, Europe and North America *Looks to future developments in Internet-based GIS, online access and potential new sources of geographical data. Geographical Data: Characteristics and Sources is intended for professionals within the administrative, commercial, educational, governmental and voluntary sectors, and academic users of GIS technology who want to branch out into new applications involving unfamiliar data sources. It also provides novice users with a guide to the complexities of geographical data.

It focuses on controversial issues of tourism imagery, highlighting issues such as gender, sexuality and race as key determinants of tourism power dimensions. The authors take their experience in the tourism industry, combined with their academic knowledge, to produce a deep insight into the cultural role of tourism imagery. The key concepts and procedures are illustrated by case studies of good practice. Students of tourism will find this book a thought-provoking and conceptual evaluation of the subject. Practitioners will find value in the discussion of how the issues raised have been integrated throughout the case studies.
