Infrastructures for Change

Sponsor: Archeworks.
$30.00 Archecircle members, $45.00 non-members
The Infrastructures for Change Workshop is organized around the premise that we currently build the majority of our cities to have adversarial relationships to the natural resources that sustain life. We design and engineer the majority of our buildings and infrastructures to pollute the air, eradicate biodiversity, displace resources, and either taint our water or literally flush it down the drain without replenishing the source. Much of what constitutes "waste" in our current environment is in fact rich in embedded energy and virtual water. At a time in history when the world is experiencing radical changes in climate, unprecedented urban population growth, and natural resource inequality and depletion, designers, engineers and builders need to holistically re-envision how our cities are designed in order to remedy existing counterproductive urban design models.

Presentation by Michael Iversen, University of Illinois at Chicago
The Ecology of Design is based on the study of integrated human/natural
environments as complex dynamic ecosystems, which are being stressed from
the convergence of urbanization, fossil-fuel energy depletion and climate
change. Using an ecosystem-based approach, design is viewed as the intentional
shaping of energy, material, information and monetary flows that act as inputs
and outputs of an urbanized ecosystem. The inventory and analysis of these
system flows may then serve as the basis for informed design decisions and

3:00 p.m., reception, 3:30 lecture - Congress lounge, Roosevelt University, 430 S. Michigan, 2nd floor
Sponsor: Chicago Art Deco Society
$10.00 members, $15.00- guests
Edgar Miller was a Chicago artist who used recycled material to create handmade homes in the 1920s and '30s that were works of art. His four apartment complexes in Chicago have changed over the decades, but much of Miller's work and the spirit he brought to each home remains, offering lessons about beauty, creativity and honesty.
Now, for the first time, Miller's life and the homes that he built are documented in a 400-page book published by Cityfiles Press. The book carefully details the forces that shaped an artist who was called "the blond boy Michelangelo" in the 1920s; "a new luminary" by Architecture magazine in the '30s; and "one of the most versatile artists in America" in the '40s.
The book will be available for purchase and signing by the authors.

Shrinking Cities: Redefining & Reengineering Distressed Cities & Suburbs
8:00 a.m. -12:00 p.m., DePaul University Loop Campus, 1 E. Jackson
Sponsor: DePaul University Chaddick Institute and Real Estate Center
The specter of economic divestment and population decline looms over many cities and suburbs in the American Heartland. Dozens of once-thriving industrial hubs, including Cleveland, Detroit, and Toledo, are bracing for another round of population losses, despite having already seen their population fall by nearly 50 percent since 1950. Even suburban boomtowns of the 1970s and 1980s with aging residential neighborhoods and older retail areas are struggling to deal with issues related to economic decline.
In response to these problems, "shrinking cities" are turning to bold and innovative strategies. Some are closing roads and redesigning street grids while consolidating schools. Others are transforming abandoned residential areas into public open space or turning crumbling manufacturing districts into forest preseves. Still others are "land banking" to make possible ambitious redevelopment schemes.
Presenters will include Dan Kildee of the City of Flint, Michigan, and Hunter Morrison, whose work has been instrumental in Cleveland and Youngstown, Ohio, and other experts.

More than Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings, his furniture is problematic for designers - many of the pieces make sense within the context of the buildings they were designed for but individually they can be almost too idiomatic. We know instantly that they are by Wright but it is difficult to see through their very distinctive shapes to the underlying design principles. Reading Wright organizes and provides commentary on the various compositional effects present in the furniture of Frank Lloyd Wright. S. Lloyd Natof is a studio furniture artist in Chicago and has been living with and looking at Wright's furniture all of his life.

Greywater Harvesting Systems in Residential Buildings
6:00 - 8:00 p.m. - Chicago Center for Green Technology, 445 N. Sacramento
Sponsor: Chicago Center for Green Technology
Free event, seating limited.
Presentation by John R. Bauer and Stuart Bailin, Wahaso Water Harvesting
With potable water resources stretched in many areas, it seems ridiculous
to flush toilets with drinking water! In residential buildings, water captured
from showers and sinks (greywater), can be cleaned, stored and reused to
effectively meet 100% of toilet flushing requirements – reducing building
water use by 20-40%. With the growing interest in sustainability and "green"
building, greywater harvesting is quickly becoming the next major trend in
water conservation practices. This class explains the unique requirements of
commercial greywater systems and reviews system design, components,
regulatory requirements and more. Case studies will be used to demonstrate
how concepts are applied in actual projects. Appropriate for community
planners, architects, engineers and plumbing contractors.

The Sustainable Crafts of Hedge and Coppice
10-:00 - 12:00 p.m. - Chicago Center for Green Technology, 445 N. Sacramento
Sponsor: Chicago Center for Green Technology
Free event, seating limited.
Presentation by Malcolm Cairns, Ball State University
Woodland coppicing, tree pollarding, roof thatching, and hedge laying are
examples of human activities which directly or indirectly conserve landscape
ecologies. In a manner similar to how a beaver dam is part of a pond's
ecology, these human interventions may be unique examples of natural landscape
preservation processes in which the actions of people are integral to the
ecosystem. Humans are often considered as externalities to natural phenomena,
or worse, as intruders or invaders. However, in practices such as the coppiced
harvesting of hazel underwood from a forest, or laying a hawthorn hedge on its
side on a cyclical basis, people have apparently become an integral part of the
ecology of the landscape. Opportunities exist to appreciate not only the beauty
of trees in the landscape, but the symbiotic relationship that people have had
with their neighbors, the woodlands, over multiple centuries. This class looks at
how the English have continued their long-held traditions of woodland crafts as
sustainable landscape management practices – and how urban dwellers might
adapt some of these ancient practices in the 21st century.

A closer look at the Plastic Ono Band
The clanging of the opening bells on Plastic Ono Band announced John Lennon as an artist independent of that hysterical epidemic known as the Beatles.The succinctly titled "Mother" is an immaculate choice for the kickoff track of Plastic Ono Band.The first peals resound and dissipate slowly, establishing a period of suspense and a steady time signature, both of which reflect the kind of patience necessary for listeners to fully appreciate this album. If the bells are the question, the held breath, then the answer is the wail that, half a minute in, breaks directly on the beat. Listeners everywhere, even today's twentysomethings, instantly recognize that voice as Lennon's. It is transcendent, layered, almost like a man echoing himself.In 1970, fresh off the breakup of the Beatles, Lennon enlisted the help of producer Phil Spector, who had recently pieced together Let It Be from abandoned recording sessions. Lennon's managed to dial down the "wall of sound" style of mixing for which the producer was known. The result is a lo-fi, pared-down return to the core elements of rock music.
Life is what happens when your busy making other plans. John Lennon

Application of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) in multi-criteria analysis of the selection of intelligent building systems
Wong, Johnny & Li, Heng (2008) Application of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) in multi-criteria analysis of the selection of intelligent building systems. Building and Environment, 43(1), pp. 108-125.
The availability of innumerable intelligent building (IB) products, and the current dearth of inclusive building component selection methods suggest that decision makers might be confronted with the quandary of forming a particular combination of components to suit the needs of a specific IB project. Despite this problem, few empirical studies have so far been undertaken to analyse the selection of the IB systems, and to identify key selection criteria for major IB systems. This study is designed to fill these research gaps. Two surveys: a general survey and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) survey are proposed to achieve these objectives. The first general survey aims to collect general views from IB experts and practitioners to identify the perceived critical selection criteria, while the AHP survey was conducted to prioritize and assign the important weightings for the perceived criteria in the general survey. Results generally suggest that each IB system was determined by a disparate set of selection criteria with different weightings. 'Work efficiency' is perceived to be most important core selection criterion for various IB systems, while 'user comfort', 'safety' and 'cost effectiveness' are also considered to be significant. Two sub-criteria, 'reliability' and 'operating and maintenance costs', are regarded as prime factors to be considered in selecting IB systems. The current study contributes to the industry and IB research in at least two aspects. First, it widens the understanding of the selection criteria, as well as their degree of importance, of the IB systems. It also adopts a multi-criteria AHP approach which is a new method to analyse and select the building systems in IB. Further research would investigate the inter-relationship amongst the selection criteria.

Seven newer insecticides, viz indoxacarb, spinosad, fipronil, lambdacyhalothrin, alphamethrin, bifenthrin and carbosulfan along with two recommended insecticides namely ethofenprox and endosulfan have been evaluated against first and second larval stages of lac insect for its safety, so that it can be further assessed for their bioefficacy against harmful biotic fauna associated with lac insect. Insecticides namely spinosad (0.0025, 0.005, 0.01 and 0.02%), indoxacarb (0.003, 0.005, 0.007, 0.01 and 0.02%), fipronil (0.0025, 0.005 and 0.01%) and carbosulfan (0.01 and 0.02%) have been found safe against first and second instar larvae of both kusmi and rangeeni strain of lac insect under field conditions. Lambdacyhalothrin, alphamethrin and bifenthrin were found safe to lac insect at lower concentrations, but detrimental effect on survival of lac insect was observed with increase in dosages, hence may not be suitable for application at the initial stage of crop development (first application) in lac production system. It is suggested that newer compounds like spinosad (0.005%) which is a naturalyte synthetic analogue compound produced by fermentation of a rare bacterium, Sacharopolyspora spinosa, indoxacarb (0.005%), fipronil (0.005%) and carbosulfan (0.01%), with different mode of action and whose safety against lac insect has been evaluated and established at some higher concentrations also, can be incorporated in pest management programme to achieve the desired control of lac insect predators in lac production system without harming lac culture.
Studies on factors influencing node culture establishment during in vitro shoot multiplication from mature Schleichera oleosa (Lour.) Oken tree

Indian Journal of Natural Products and Resources | Year: 2013
Schleichera oleosa (Lour.) Oken is a preferred tree-host of kusmi form of lac insect, Kerria lacca, which produces superior quality lac resin of commercial interest. Very low success rate of clonal multiplication of this tree is one of the major bottlenecks for supply of quality planting material for lac cultivation. In vitro multiplication of axillary buds although promise to produce large-scale clones of high-yielding lac hosts, establishment of aseptic node culture is one of the critical steps in standardization of micropropagation from mature S. oleosa plant. The seasonal influence on bud emergence, heavy microbial contaminations and phenolic exudations are the important factors observed in the present study that limits the establishment of axillary bud cultures in S. oleosa. Predominant fungal and bacterial contaminants were identified through morpho-cytological and DNA sequence analysis. The Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium with 1.0 mg/L BAP and 1.0 mg/L silver nitrate showed best (83.33±13.61%) shoot initiation. Sub-culturing and elongation of the proliferated microshoots were possible on filter-paper-bridge soaked in liquid MS medium with 0.5-1.0 mg/L BAP, instead of agar-gelled MS media. Rooting of the axillary bud-derived shoots continued to be the major hurdle to achieve success in developing micropropagation protocol in S. oleosa.

National Academy Science Letters | Year: 2015
Effect of pitcher fertigation (urea only) with 4 pitchers/tree (8 l capacity/pitcher) with seepage rate of 0.04 l/h was studied on summer and winter kusmi lac crop performance and shooting response on ber (Ziziphus mauritiana) during 2009–2012. There was an increase of 2.2 and 2.6 times in shoot length and girth in winter season than the summer season under pitcher fertigation. A significant increase in number of shoots per pruned point was also noticed in winter season as compared to summer season. Lac yield was 1.75 times more in winter season, compared to summer season. Interaction effect between seasons and treatments showed maximum yield ratio in pitcher fertigation in winter season and least yield ratio in control in summer season. Interaction of pitcher fertigation brought 106.9 and 13.5 % increase in lac yield ratio in summer and winter season, respectively. Much higher increase in lac yield was obtained when pitcher fertigation was applied in summer as compared to winter. © 2015, The National Academy of Sciences, India.
Effect of broodlac treatment with insecticides on population reduction of predators and parasitoids of lac insect, Kerria lacca (Kerr)
Singh J.P.,Indian Institute of Natural Resins and Gums
National Academy Science Letters | Year: 2013
Laboratory evaluation was carried out to assess the efficacy of eight insecticides namely indoxacarb, fipronil, spinosad, ethofenprox, endosulfan, bifenthrin, lambdacyhalothrin and carbosulfan on two most prevalent lac insect parasitoids (Tachardiaephagus tachardiae and Eupelmus tachardiae) and two key predators (Eublemma amabilis and Pseudohypatopa pulverea) of lac insect, Kerria lacca (Kerr) by dipping of broodlac (seed material) in insecticidal solution. Broodlac dipping in insecticidal solution of indoxacarb (0.007 and 0.014 %), fipronil (0.005 %), spinosad (0.005 %), ethofenprox (0.02 %), and endosulfan (0.05 %) for 10 and 15 min caused significant reduction in the population of parasitoids and predators over control without showing any adverse effect on emergence and survival of lac insect. The reduction in emergence of E. amabilis and P. pulverea varied from 20.90 to 98.51 % and 66.67 to 93.33 %, respectively with the dipping of broodlac for 10 min and 83.58-100 % and 93-100 %, respectively with the dipping of broodlac for 15 min. Per cent reduction to the tune of 50.80-91.13 and 5.06-96.73 was recorded with respect of E. tachardiae and T. tachardiae, respectively with dipping of broodlac for 10 min and 77.60-100 and 29.95-98.62, respectively with the dipping of broodlac for 15 min in insecticidal solutions. These insecticides at the recommended concentrations can be safely and effectively used for improvement of broodlac quality in terms of reduced population of parasitoids and predators harbouring in the broodlac prior to inoculation on new trees without any harmful effect on lac insect. Bifenthrin (0.002 %), lambdacyhalothrin (0.005 %) and carbosulfan (0.01 %) though causes significant reduction in population of parasitoids and predators but survival of lac insect was also adversely affected hence cannot be recommended for treatment of broodlac. Furthermore, in view of ban imposed on the use of endosulfan it cannot be recommended. Therefore, selective insecticides namely indoxacarb, fipronil, spinosad and ethofenprox can be safely and effectively used for the treatment of broodlac. © 2013 The National Academy of Sciences, India.
Bio-Efficacy Potential of Flubendiamide as an IPM Tool for the Management of Biotic Stress in Lac Culture
Jaiswal A.K.,Indian Institute of Natural Resins and Gums |
Singh J.P.,Indian Institute of Natural Resins and Gums
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences India Section B - Biological Sciences | Year: 2016
Laboratory and field experiments were conducted to evaluate the bio-efficacy of flubendiamide for the safety to lac insect and efficacy against associated insect-predators on lac culture. Eight concentrations of flubendiamide ranging from 0.0039 % (0.1 ml L−1) to 0.0315 % (0.8 ml L−1) were evaluated. No significant difference was observed on survival of emerging 1st instar lac insect larvae between various treatments and control as the result of dipping treatment of broodlac for 5, 10 and 15 min, indicating safety of the evaluated insecticide. Treatment of broodlac in insecticidal solutions for the same durations showed significant reduction in the population of both key lepidopteran predators, Eublemma amabilis (Noctuidae) and Pseudohypatopa pulverea (Blastobasidae) predating on lac insects. This is the first evaluation report of flubendiamide on lac insect ecosystem. © 2014, The National Academy of Sciences, India.
Kusmi lac yield in winter season as affected by weather and directional effect on ber (Zizyphus mauritiana) trees
Ghosal S.,Indian Institute of Natural Resins and Gums
Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences | Year: 2012
An experiment consisting of 96 trees was laid out in the Institute Research Farm during June 2007-February 2010 to assess the influence of factors like directional effect of lac on ber trees (northern and southern halves) and rainfall pattern on lac yield and yield ratio (output: input of broodlac). Average lac yield ratio in southern half was 26% higher than northern half in 2007-08 and the same was 21% higher in 2008-09. More sunlight might have kept the tree canopy warmer, which might have boosted up growth and development of the lac insect on the southern half in first two years. Due to meager rainfall in third year, sunlight was not a limiting factor influencing yield which resulted in a nonsignificant difference. At the same time, mean lac yield ratio was 4.9 in first year as against 7.15 in the third year; difference was significant and it could be attributed to weather differences. The typical patterns of rainfall in three different years have been described in details which revealed that lac yield decreased significantly with intensity of rainfall, number of consecutive weeks with 50 mm rain, amount of rainfall received after sexual maturity etc. As a result, 31% reduction in lac yield ratio was observed in first year compared to third year. The study also indicated that lac yield from trees of smaller canopy spread are least affected due to adverse weather condition.

Two lepidopteran predators, Eublemma amabilis and Pseudohypatopa pulverea and Aprostocetus purpureus an endoparasitoid have emerged as a major threat to lac cultivation. The objectives of the current study were to identify some potential insecticides and bio-pesticides against major biotic stress of lac crop. Field evaluation of spinosad 2.5SC, indoxacarb 14.5SC, fipronil 5SC, ethofenprox 10EC and three commercial formulations of Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki on rangeeni and kusmi lac culture reveal significant reduction in incidence of Eublemma amabilis and Pseudohypatopa pulverea attacking Kerria lacca. The reduction in incidence of E. amabilis ranged from 42.47 - 96.24% and 65.00 - 95.00% and P. pulverea ranged from 52.50 - 97.50% and 66.67 - 100.00% during rangeeni rainy and summer crop, respectively. The reduction in the incidence of E. amabilis and P. pulverea on kusmi winter lac crop recorded to the tune of 61.02 - 93.55% and 12.86 - 98.57%, respectively whereas, on kusmi summer crop it was 56.16 to 95.52% and 66.17 to 98.50%, respectively. Productivity of lac increased to the tune of 78.95 to 168.42% and 11.40 to 36.84% in kusmi winter and summer lac crop, respectively whereas 33.33 to 166.67% in rangeeni rainy lac crop. Higher fecundity and superior quality broodlac was obtained from treated crops. Insecticides, spinosad, indoxacarb, fipronil, ethofenprox and bio-pesticides therefore can be used for effective suppression of predators attacking lac culture.

Technology has not always been as acceptable as it seemingly is today. So many of us want the latest gadgets and the new toys that will somehow improve our lives, make things go faster or supply us with the latest eye candy. We upgrade our technology on a regular basis and for many technology fills our lives at home, away from home and even between the two. So let's step back to the early 19th century and see what was going on then, to 1811 to be more precise and the emergence of the Luddites.
We are talking of the period of the Industrial Revolution in England. Stocking frames and power looms don't seem too disconcerting to us today but it was the intrinsic labour saving value of these devices that turned many against them. In short; the use of machinery meant companies could replace well paid artisans with low wage, less skilled labour. Jobs were lost and that is never a thing that goes down too well.
Stocking frames were machines that could do the job of a hand knitter and were invented by William Lee an English clergyman and inventor from Calverton near Nottingham far back in 1589. The industry took nearly a century to develop, not least because Queen Elizabeth I refused him a patent as she feared of it's effects on the traditional hand knitting industries.
The Luddites were not opposed to technology or bad at using it though. Previously the craftsmen and craftswomen such as the knitters could work their own hours, free of restriction, so long as they delivered on time. Automation meant being tied to regular hours in a factory. Thus they were unhappy about the resultant loss of their way of life and the fact they they would most likely have to follow suit and accept lower wages or worse, lose their jobs entirely.
They were also concerned about the quality of the material and indeed it took a long time for the inventors to improve their machinery. Artisans were upset at their loss of dignity, of their reduced esteem and of their reduction in status to mere factory hands.
The name 'Luddite' may have been named after one Ned Ludd who allegedly ruined a stocking frame in 1779 in a fit of rage after being told he was knitting too loosely. Despite this tale there is no solid proof of his existence. However this did likely lead to the creation of King or General Ludd, the folkloric leader of the Luddites.
King Ludd first 'appeared' in November 1811 at a Nottingham protest and then on to further protests. The government were at great pains to find him but despite supposed sightings they never did - probably because he did not exist.
Excerpt from General Ludd's Triumph...
Chant no more your old rhymes about bold Robin Hood,
His feats I but little admire
I will sing the Achievements of General
Now the Hero of Nottinghamshire
Brave Ludd was to measures of violence unused
Till his sufferings became so severe
That at last to defend his own Interest he
And for the great work did prepare
The Luddites were not particularly well organised, some factories were set ablaze but mostly they destroyed machinery. Although destruction of machinery was a criminal offence that led to penal transportation; the authorities did not feel this was enough of a deterrent against the continued trouble and so the Frame Breaking Act of 1812 allowed the death penalty to be passed. Lord Byron, a strong supporter of social reform, came to their defence. He opposed the death penalty and in his first speech before the Lords was very sarcastic about the so called benefits of automation.
Song for the Luddites by Lord Byron
As the Liberty boys o'er the sea
Bought their freedom, and cheaply, with blood,
So we, boys, we
Will die fighting, or live free,
And down with all kings but King Ludd!
When the web that we weave is complete,
And the shuttle exchanged for the sword,
We will fling the winding-sheet
O'er the despot at our feet,
And dye it deep in the gore he has pour'd.
Though black as his heart its hue,
Since his veins are corrupted to mud,
Yet this is the dew
Which the tree shall renew
Of Liberty, planted by Ludd!
The Luddites would meet on the moors surrounding the large industrial towns, mainly in Nottinghamshire, Lancashire and Yorkshire. They even engaged the British Army as well as send death threats to magistrates and others. But by 1817 it is considered that the life of the Luddites was over and time lurched on to new troubles and tribulations.
Of course during the Industrial Revolution many people would have been worried about being replaced by machines and that is still true today. The Luddites were simply fighting to keep their way of life. Perhaps it is wise to think once in a while if all our modern technology is enhancing our lives so well after all.
