Sommario/riassunto |
|
Das Thema Entwicklungszusammenarbeit rückt seit einiger Zeit auch in den Fokus der Ausbildung von Architekten. Doch es gibt bislang kaum Ansätze, die die Arbeit von Architekten und Stadtplaner in diesem Kontext kritisch zu situieren. Das Buch befasst sich mit den architektonischen Folgen humanitärer Aktionen anhand von drei Fallstudien in Port-au-Prince, der Westbank und Nairobi. Aus typologischen und konstruktiven Untersuchungen von zwölf Projekten erarbeiten die Autoren eine differenzierte Position im Diskurs um kurzfristig erstellbare Wohnbauten in Notsituationen. Sie analysieren die weitreichenden Auswirkungen solcher architektonischen Hilfsaktionen und liefern Architekten, Stadtplanern und NGOs nützliche Hinweise für künftige Planungen. |

development aid has featured in the education of architects. However, up to now there have hardly been any attempts to critically place the work of architects and urban designers in this context. The book highlights the architectural consequences of humanitarian actions on the basis of three case studies – in Port-au-Prince, the West Bank, and Nairobi. The authors analyze twelve projects in terms of typology and construction and establish a differentiated position in the discourse on short-term housing for emergency situations. They investigate the far-reaching effects of such architectural aid and supply architects, town planners, and NGOs with useful advice for future planning and design. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book addresses human factors research in energy, an emphasis on human factors applications in design, construction, and operation of nuclear, electrical power generation, and oil and gas assets. It discusses advanced strategies in the optimization of human and environmental performance, as well as personal and process safety. The book covers a wealth of topics in design and operation management of both offshore and onshore facilities, including design of control rooms, front-end engineering design (FEED), criticality analysis, offshore transport, human contributions to accidents, cognitive bias in decision making, safety-critical human tasks, and many others. Based on the AHFE2017 Conference on Human Factors in Energy: Oil, Gas, Nuclear and Electric Power Industries, July 17-21, Los Angeles, California, USA, the book fills an important gap in the current literature, providing readers with state-of-the-art knowledge in human factors best-practice approaches across different types of industries and energy applications. |
