Designers in dialog -- 7. Human, machine, and enviroment."Designers employ a variety of tools and techniques for speculating about buildings before they are built. In their simplest form, these are personal thought experiments. However, embracing advanced computer simulations means engaging a network of specialized people and powerful machines. In this book, Yanni Alexander Loukissas demonstrates that new tools have profound implications for the social distribution of design work; computer simulations are technologies for collective imagination. Organized around the accounts of professional designers engaged in a high-stakes competition to redefine their work for the technological moment, this book explores the emerging cultures of computer simulation in architecture. Not only architects, but acousticians, fire safety engineers, and sustainability experts see themselves as co-designers in architecture, engaging new technologies for simulation in an evolving search for the roles and relationships that can bring them both professional acceptance and greater control over design. By illustrating how practices of simulation inform the social relationships and professional distinctions that define contemporary architecture, the book examines the cultural transformations taking place in design practice today"--Provided by publisher.Cultures of computer simulation in architectureArchitecture and technologyComputer simulationArchitectural designArchitectural practiceArchitecture and technology.Computer simulation.Architectural design.Architectural practice.720.285Loukissas Yanni A(Yanni Alexander),789421UkLoBPUkLoBPBOOK9910790348203321Co-designers3695560UNINA05073nam 22006012 450 991082829380332120200713110815.01-78962-345-61-78138-604-81-78138-485-1(CKB)4330000000005392(SSID)ssj0001677566(PQKBManifestationID)16486823(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001677566(PQKBWorkID)15014035(PQKB)10414522(StDuBDS)EDZ0001111441(UkCbUP)CR9781789623451(Au-PeEL)EBL4789559(CaPaEBR)ebr11332308(OCoLC)911019134(MiAaPQ)EBC4789559(EXLCZ)99433000000000539220200608d2014|||| uy| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierCommunities in contemporary Anglophone Caribbean short stories /Lucy Evans[electronic resource]Liverpool :Liverpool University Press,2014.1 online resource (x, 230 pages) digital, PDF file(s)Postcolonialism across the disciplines ;16Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 07 Jul 2020).1-78138-118-6 Includes bibliographical references and index.1.

The first extended study of Caribbean short stories, it presents the phenomenon of interconnected stories as a significant feature of late twentieth and early twenty-first century Anglophone Caribbean literary cultures. It contends that the short story collection and cycle, literary forms regarded by genre theorists as necessarily concerned with representations of community, are particularly appropriate and enabling as a vehicle through which to conceptualise Caribbean communities. The book covers short story collections and cycles by Olive Senior, Earl Lovelace, Kwame Dawes, Alecia Mckenzie, Lawrence Scott, Mark Mcwatt, Robert Antoni and Dionne Brand. It argues that the form of interconnected stories is a crucial part of these writers' imagining of communities which may be fractured, plural and fraught with tensions, but which nevertheless hold together. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of community, bringing literary representations of community into dialogue with models of community developed in the field of Caribbean anthropology. The works analysed are set in Trinidad, Jamaica and Guyana, and in several cases the setting extends to the Caribbean diaspora in Europe and North America. Looking in turn at rural, urban, national and global communities, the book draws attention to changing conceptions of community around the turn of the millennium. * The book is the first monograph on Caribbean short stories. * It is the first book-length study to directly address the subject of community in Anglophone Caribbean literature. * The book covers the work of eight critically acclaimed Caribbean writers. * Due to the centrality of short story writing to the development of a Caribbean literary tradition, the book offers readers an accessible introduction to the broader field of Caribbean literature and culture. * With its interdisciplinary approach, the book will appeal to Caribbeanists working in social science disciplines as well as those working in literary and cultural studies.Postcolonialism across the disciplines ;16.Short stories, Caribbean (English)20th centuryHistory and criticismCaribbean literature20th centuryHistory and criticismCommunitiesShort stories, Caribbean (English)History and criticism.Caribbean literatureHistory and criticism.Communities.810.99729Evans Lucy1979-1678605UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910828293803321Communities in contemporary Anglophone Caribbean short stories4046392UNINA
