And now, another reason to pray for the people of China:
In a bizarre move, China's television censors have issued new guidelines that all but ban TV dramas featuring time travel.
In a statement (available here in Chinese) dated March 31, the State Administration for Radio, Film & Television said that TV dramas that involve characters traveling back in time "lack positive thoughts and meaning." The guidelines discouraging this type of show said that some "casually make up myths, have monstrous and weird plots, use absurd tactics, and even promote feudalism, superstition, fatalism and reincarnation."
The guidelines, which fell short of an outright ban of such dramas, seem to have come in response to a series of popular programs about protagonists drifting back to ancient times. For instance, in "Palace," one of China's hottest TV series, a woman falls in love with a Qing dynasty painting, travels back in time and then falls in love with several princes.

The first component of this invention enables management to remotely determine the cash and inventory status of each dispensing unit within their bulk-vending machines. Within each bulk-vending machine, data collection modules are invented which operate in conjunction with a wireless companion module, to transmit information regarding the status of each vending machine to management. The second component of this invention utilizes the cash and inventory status of the machines to dynamically allocate part-time and full-time employees to service routes. The dynamically generated service routes are simultaneously dependent on the status of the machines, the skill level of the employees, and the hours of availability of part-time and full-time employees and the hours of availability of the sites where the machines are located. The algorithm is not constrained to just the bulk-vending machine business.
1. In a vending machine for dispensing articles upon insertion of a coin in a receptacle associated with said machine and operative to dispense a product when said coin is received by said machine, in combination therewith,

11. This invention allows service routes to be generated DYNAMICALLY. Global Positioning Satellite technology is used to determine the distance between locations and the shortest route to service such locations, with no employee or location constraints via the Traveling Salesman algorithm (implementations of this algorithm are abundant in the mathematically and/or computer science literature). This invention uses the output of the Traveling Salesman algorithm to allocate employees to locations using a �greedy algorithm� heuristic, which can be iteratively modified by management to accommodate employee utilization thresholds/constraints. This algorithm SIMULTANEOUSLY addresses:
hours of employees,
hours of site/location availability,
skill level of each employee, and
management employee utilization thresholds.
Utilization thresholds of employees have priority over delivery deadlines in the vending business as management has considerable control and modification of delivery deadlines.
12. The algorithm is applicable to any business desirous of generating dynamic service routes and as such the algorithm is not constrained to just the vending machine business.
This application claims priority of U.S. Provisional application Ser. No. 10/132,479 filed on Apr. 25, 2002 and entitled, �Centralized Management System for Bulk-Vending Machines Utilizing Wireless Telecommunications Technology�.
This invention extends remote centralized wireless management to bulk-vending machines and specifies an end-to-end centralized management system that can be utilized by all types of vending machines.
Data collection modules for bulk mechanical vending machines are specified. Such modules enable remote centralized management of cash and inventory status, which allows large corporations to penetrate the bulk vending machine business; as opposed to being primarily limited to sole proprietary ownership (as currently exists).
Cash and inventory status data is transmitted from the vending machines to the centralized management system using wireless communications technology, or wired technology if so desired.
An algorithm to generate dynamic service routes according to the status of machines, the hours part-time/full-time employees are contracted work as well as the times the machines are accessible (which depends on the business hours of the site at which each machine is located) is invented.
Utilizing state-of-the art Global Positioning Satellite mapping software, the dynamic service routes automatically generate directions and detailed maps (if requested) so that employees can �hit the road� immediately.
The management of modern bulk-vending machines cannot be remotely executed via centralized communications systems. The issue arises from the fact that the machines do not record the cash collected, or the amount dispensed. Such data requires calculation from the volume of product remaining in each dispensing unit. Cash/dispensing information is critical to the centralized management of the vending business. Since remote data collection is not readily available in modern bulk-vending machines, centralized communication management systems have not been developed/patented/proposed for this business.
The present invention extends the centralized communication systems that have been developed/patented/proposed for pre-bagged/canned/bottled vending machines. Specifically, this invention defines a data-recording module for each dispensing unit that stores critical bulk-vending data. The data-recording module has a wireless companion module that allows the remote bulk-vending machines to communicate with a centralized management system. Such an invention allows the centralized manager to evaluate the status of a bulk-vending machine remotely.
The significance of this invention allows large corporations to enter the bulk-vending business since management can remotely determine the cash that is being collected from each machine. The inability to independently monitor the cash collected from the machines has impeded large corporations from entering the bulk-vending business. This has occurred despite the fact that marginal profits on bulk products are substantially more for those on packaged goods.
For the pre-bagged/canned/bottled vending machine, the amount dispensed is fixed and the price changes according to the product and vending management decisions. For the bulk-vending machine, the price is fixed and the vending management adjusts the amount dispensed by adjusting the size of the internal dispensing compartment. The nature of these businesses is inherently different.
Modern bulk-vending machines are lightweight, manufactured from durable PVC products, and do not require the service operator to have a truck. Modular design is the trend with the bulk candy dispenser being above the coin-receiving mechanism. Machines can be pre-assembled and transported in a car, or partially assembled, transported in a small car, and then fully assembled on site. Broken modules can be repaired or replaced easily with few skills needed. No electrical hook-ups are required. The portability of the machines allows the machine to be transported to an alternate location if the current location becomes unprofitable for some reason.
The simplicity of the bulk-vending machine means that the machines are inexpensive and entry into the vending business is relatively easy. The simplicity of design also requires few skills for servicing. Maintenance of the bulk canisters and repair of machine modules can be done in a centralized location, where skills may be different and managed more efficiently.
The setting of the internal compartment of each dispensing unit can be managed at the centralized location, since the dispensing unit is part of the canister removed at service. The major concern in the bulk-vending business is that the number of collected coins varies according to the dispensing unit setting within each canister. It is lengthy to determine the number of coins that should be in the coin tray at the time of service. For startups, the owner tends to collect the money preventing disputes concerning the amount of money that was in the machine. Should the owner wish to delegate the servicing responsibility to an employee or contractor, this issue impedes business efficiency.
In this invention, a data-recording unit with a wireless communication companion module within the bulk-vending machine is described. Such an invention allows centralized management of numerous bulk-vending machines via wireless technology communication, or wired technology if so desired.
Communication can be initiated by the on-site bulk-vending machine or by the centralized system.
The invention utilizes a data collection module, which can operate in conjunction with a wireless companion module to transmit information regarding a vending machine to a central location to enable management to determine the cash and inventory status of each dispensing unit within a bulk-vending machine. This allows servicing of the business to be delegated to low skilled employees who replace the canisters and return them to the centralized location for cleaning and re-stocking.
In addition, this centralized management wireless communication system may dynamically manage service routes according to the status of machines, the hours part-time/full-time employees are contracted work as well as the times the machines are accessible.
This invention also allows jams to be remotely detected since the invention basically utilizes a counter, which is coupled to the gear mechanism of the dispensing machine and provides a count for every coin inserted. The count is compared with programmable indicia in a microprocessor to determine when the signal is to be transmitted to the central location. For example, if the counter has not changed over period that is a longer interval than normal, a signal is transmitted to the central location that this machine needs attention for a possible jam.
Machines becoming low on supplies can be detected since the count can be compared with programmable indicia in a microprocessor to determine how many coins have been collected, and if the number of coins is reasonably large then a signal is transmitted to the central location indicating the supply level is somewhat low.
The wireless communication module of each vending machine could incorporate state of the Global Positioning Satellite software so that the location of the machine is known to the centralized management system.
In this manner, the central location can also have trained employees to repair the modules and manage the inventory business so that travel between the location of the vending machine and the central headquarters is minimized.
The bulk-vending machines proprietors generally have STATIC service routes to service their machines. However, such routes are extremely inefficient since the variation in consumption of products is extraordinarily different from site to site. Service routes need to be driven by the status of machines and such information is readily available from the data collection modules defined above for bulk-vending machines, or prior inventions for pre-bagged/canned/bottled vending machines
As employee benefit costs, especially healthcare, continue to rise, the part-time employee alternative is a critical element of cost control. Hours of part-time employees can vary greatly as servicing a bulk-vending machine is an ideal part-time job for students and retirees.
There are numerous algorithms for generating the best service route in the mathematical literature based on the distance between locations. These algorithms are referred to as the Traveling Salesman Problem and its derivatives. The Traveling Salesman Problem has been modified to account for the opening and closing hours of the sites to be serviced.
In the literature, it is generally assumed that employers have control of the hours of their employee and it is the accessibility of the site for service is the dominant constraint. Typically, there are deadlines of delivery at the site (appropriate for such operations as Federal Express or United Parcel Service) that are the primary concern of the business and the driving motivation of the algorithm.
The vending machine business is, however, inherently different since there are no deadlines of delivery. In addition, machines are deployed in police stations (which are accessible at all times) and can be serviced by part-time students and/or retirees which may have very variable working hours.
The distance between locations is readily obtained through the Global Satellite Position of the wireless communication module of each machine and thus the shortest route to service all the appropriate machines (ignoring any employee or site availability constraints) can be obtained from implementations of the Traveling Salesman Problem, which are abundant in the mathematical and computer science literature.
This invention extends the Traveling Salesman Problem theory by proposing an interactive and iterative algorithm to incorporate the time constraints of employees and opening hours of on-site locations so that DYNAMIC service routes can be generated on a daily or weekly basis, or at whatever frequency management desires.
Once the service route for each employee is determined, travel directions are provided using state of the art Global Positioning Satellite mapping software.
The incorporation of Global Positioning Satellite mapping software into the centralized management system is an important business element in the generation of service routes. Without it, employees need to consultant maps and get directions before embarking on their service routes. Such travel discussions can negate the efficiency gained from optimizing daily service routes. With automatically generated directions dynamic service route management becomes a business reality.
The modern bulk-vending machine has a dispensing unit with internal compartments that are adjusted according to the product being sold. An example of such a machine in regard to a single canister is shown in
The coin-receiving unit of a bulk-vending machine will accept only one coin type. Certain pieces of candy, for example, occupy the same volume as multiple pieces of additional candy, as for example, one M&M Peanut as compared to multiple pieces of M&M Milk Chocolates.
Repeated sales are the key to success in any business; receiving two pieces of candy may be seen as a �rip off� by the consumer and result in a few repeated sales. Repeated sales drives inventory turn over. Bulk-vending machines with low repeated sales have high inventory, spoilage and low profits.
State of the art bulk-vending machines have multiple removable canisters, which are changed at the time of service. Product changes often result in temporary increased sales since the new items generate consumer curiosity.
Each bulk-vending canister has a separate coin-receiving mechanism. A consumer purchasing a product inserts the appropriate coin into the coin slot and returns an external dial on the coin-receiving mechanism. The external dial rotates an internal coin-receiving gear that meshes into the compartment gear of the dispensing unit. The dispensing compartment gear rotates the internal compartment gear over the chute, the product falls and is retrieved by the consumer.
Bulk-vending machines are inherently different from package vending machines, since mechanical simplicity and minimum maintenance are critical. Only one type of coin is accepted by the coin-receiving mechanism of a bulk-vending machine. Such bulk-vending machines are known in the art; an interchangeable canister bulk-vending machine is sold under the trademark Vendstar 3000, for example.
Referring to
Referring to
Essentially, and according to this invention, and as depicted briefly in regard to
As indicated, and is shown in
In any event, as one can ascertain, there is considerable space below the dispensing unit to attach a data collection module and a wireless module according to this invention within the machine. The wireless companion module interfaces with the data collection module and reads the counter and other information, if appropriate. It is more efficient for the wireless module to reside within just one of the coin-receiving units and have a controller to interface with the multiple data collection modules for bulk-vending machines that have multiple canisters.
As will be explained in conjunction with
The actual information communicated to and from the centralized vending management system can be very simple or complex, but such data is derived from the coins deposited. If the number of coins collected exceeds certain thresholds (indicating low inventory) or remains unchanged for a certain period (indicating a jam) then the wireless companion module would initiate a call to the centralized management system. Alternatively, there may be a function of the product deployed in the associated dispensing unit that initiates communication between the vending machine(s) and the centralized management system. The thresholds could be set locally on the machine or remotely by the centralized system depending on the implementation or the manufacture. The counting or inventory information would need to be reset at appropriate times (for example, when the items are stocked), resetting on the data collection module could mimic reset buttons found on mechanical coin copying machines, or be done electronically, which allows resetting to be done remotely.
Referring to
In any event, shown in
In summation, the device operates as follows. Upon rotation of the gear 19, which is associated with the depositing of the coin, the gear 20 interfaces with the counter to add one count for a dispensing rotation of gear 20. This would indicate that one coin has been deposited and therefore one volume of contents has been released from the machine. The processor can store this count and compare this count with a predetermined threshold count. This applies to each of the canisters. In this manner, the processor, for example, will indicate that canister 12 has dispensed 50 volumes and therefore has collected, for example, 50 coins (threshold number) and the remaining amount may constitute another ten volumes and therefore, the canister has to be refilled. When the threshold is reached the processor will activate the remote device 24 to transmit a signal to the remote location. The signal transmitted can be indicative of the need to fill the machine and may include, of course, the identity of the machine and the location of the machine, as well as many other indications so that the central location can accurately locate and monitor the machine.
In addition, the wireless module could periodically check the status of each dispensing unit's counter and if unchanged over a designated period, it could indicate a possible jam or problem with the associated dispenser unit. In either situation, the signal transmitted can be indicative of the need to fill/repair the machine and may include, of course, the identity of the machine and the location of the machine, as well as many other indications so that the central location can accurately locate and monitor the machine. It is, of course, understood that there are numerous ways of implementing the remote device 24 operation, including many different modes of transmission.
In any event, each dispensing unit will have such information stored in the processor and therefore, the central management may make a decision based on the transmitted results. The decision could be to transport a new container and to also be aware of the fact that the monitored machine canister has now collected 50 coins. Therefore, the management would have an accurate idea of the amount of income derived from that particular canister at that particular location. The invention has been explained above and as seen from the Figures, it is one way of implementing the same. It would be, of course, understood to one skilled in the art that there are alternate ways of implementing the invention and a preferred embodiment is briefly shown.
Prior to service routes being dynamically generated, central headquarters calls each machine and determines its status.
Central headquarters then selects (either manually or automatically) those machines that are targeted for service as well as the skill level required to service each machine. Headquarters may, if desired, remove or add machines from the machines proposed for servicing.
Once the machines are selected, the centralized management system generates ONE �first cut� service route template that provides the shortest route connecting all the machine locations and central headquarters using the well known Traveling Salesman Algorithm techniques that are abundant in the mathematical/computer science literature. Such algorithms require that the distance between the locations be known and such information is readily available from the Global Positioning Satellite mapping software.
Such a �first cut� service route provides the best route without any constraints and acts as a template for the centralized management system to allocate service routes to employees based on employee hours, employee skill level and vending machine location accessibility hours. The modification of the �first cut� service route template is what constituents this dynamic service route invention.
Once the �first cut� service route template is established, the centralized management system's database checks the hours and skill level of the employees available for that day, and if unknown, the hours and/or skill level are provided manually.
Finally, the accessibility hours for any machine that may that changed location (detected by a change in its Global Positioning Satellite Location data) is requested and provided manually or by some other means.
The centralized management system then allocates machines along the �first cut� service route template to employees as follows:
It is, of course, understood to one skilled in the art that there are alternate ways of implementing the dynamic service route algorithm and simply a preferred execution has been described.
Once the service routes are assigned, Global Positioning Satellite Software (such as Mapquest for example) dynamically generates the service route for each employee, with directions and the equipment/supplies needed to execute the service route. The equipment/supplies needed for servicing is readily derived from the status of the machines on the route.
When fully utilized this centralized management system will typically generate different service routes that attempts to optimize employee resources by ensuring that machine that truly are in need of service, are checked and doing so in a manner that minimizing employee costs and travel time. In this manner, the conflicting constraints that define business profitability trade-offs can be fully explored.

CIT TRADE FINANCE: Middle-market retailers cautiously optimistic for holiday.
Details on Industry Insight.
It has been over eight months since the BP disaster struck the Gulf of Mexico. We decided to check back in with three shops in Pensacola, Florida; Gulf Shores, Alabama; and Galveston,Texas to see how things are going for holiday.
It's still down. We were hoping to have a better Christmas, but people tend to wait until the last minute to shop here. I know a lot of parents will wait two to three days before Christmas to get their kid a skateboard or skimboard.
A lot of people got their BP checks and took off since there are no jobs. We are so seasonal here. We make all our money in summertime so most of our customers left to seek other financial opportunities where there wasn't an oil spill.
Yeah. I had a skim contest a month ago and we had some oil. This is gonna' be a lifetime thing. My son is two years old and he is gonna' have to deal with it. A kid brought in his skim board the other day and it had oil on it. People still see oil from the Exxon Valdez but that was not really in a tourist area. Wildlife was affected but this is also affecting our community.
Yeah. Tomorrow is supposed to be really good. That's one thing that is good.
We had a pocket of oil wash up a mile and half from my store but haven't seen it in a while. Every time the surf picks up, though some oil washes up. If there is a southwest or southeast swell, even if it only brings knee high waves, some oil will come up. Not huge patches, but the Gulf is a big body of water so stuff is still out there.
Oh yeah, They have these machines that are scooping it up and they dig four feet down and it cleans it and heats it and replaces the sand. There are still cranes and all kinds of machinery everywhere. They are still working on it so I give them credit for that.
Hopefully they are gone by spring because who wants to come down to the beach and lay out with a bunch of heavy machinery? Like I said before though there are a good amount of people in town still working in it (cleaning the spill). They haven't left us high and dry.

duplitecture [d(y)o͞oplətek(t)SHər], noun: an intentional, functioning copy of a pre-existing, and often familiar, piece of architecture. For example, "Hangzhou's replication of Venice takes duplitecture to the city-level." This definition is Archinect's own wording.

A few examples in China, the site of the term's inspiration, include an Eiffel Tower in Hangzhou and Shanghais' "Thames Town" (images here). Ranging from single structures to entire communities, duplitecture is distinguished from mere models or miniatures (as are common in theme parks or historical institutions) by its use – duplitecture is not decorative or merely artistic.

The term was coined by Bianca Bosker in her 2013 book, Original Copies: Architectural Mimicry in Contemporary China. She points out that while China is notorious for knocking off intellectual property (in the case of consumer technology and fashion as well as duplitecture), copying isn't considered bad in and of itself. In Chinese aesthetic tradition,...

Watching two grown men in a social media hissy fit over a building sign is actually a lot more amusing than one might think. In this corner, Donald Trump, rich guy, who, in the view of one esteemed newspaper critic, has defiled our fine city by slapping his name on the side of his silvery, shiny building. In the other corner, Blair Kamin, decorated architecture critic for the Chicago Tribune and defender of building aesthetics.

Good architects strive to balance design and function while listening closely to a client's emotional needs for the space. Public projects often have the added layers of bureaucratic paperwork, media scrutiny, and community outreach. But rebuilding a school after a shooting presents a unique kaleidoscope of intense feelings. Architects must create an environment that not only promotes learning, but also helps the students—and their towns—heal from tragedy.

We call it "destructoporn" (since 2007, according to Urban Dictionary) and it comes, unbidden, via digital media. Where did I see that Tod Williams and Billie Tsien's Folk Art Museum, just thirteen years old, was down to steel and rubble? The art critic Jerry Saltz's Instagram. [...] The dailiness, even hourliness, of social media makes it a perfect vehicle for documenting each thump of the wrecking ball, each crunch of the backhoe. Its visual slant is ideal for activism wrapped up in pictures.

Headed by the continued strength in the multi-family residential market and the emerging growth for institutional projects, demand for design services continues to be healthy [...] The American Institute of Architects (AIA) reported the October ABI score was 53.7, down from a mark of 55.2 in September. This score reflects an increase in design activity (any score above 50 indicates an increase in billings). The new projects inquiry index was 62.7, following a mark of 64.8 the previous month.

The architect today is no 'fountainhead.' It is rather sad to watch today's 'starchitects', designing their weird-looking signature buildings. These seem now always to be either museums or condos for billionaires. The brand-name architect just build useless luxury housing for the 1% and their trinkets. The actual design of the world is now in the hands of other people.

McKenzie Wark pens a rather a wake up call of a book review on Easterling's new book Extrastatecraft: The Power of Infrastructure Space in which Easterling offers a set of subsidiary metaphors for contemporary infrastructure design: multipliers, switches, and topologies.

"The multipliers include: cars, elevators, mobile phones. The first, the car, was the multiplier that made possible one of the precursor forms of the greenfields city, the greenfields suburb. But "Levittown was simple software." (74) Its repeated unit-forms were few. Sadly, it may be the case that the United States never quite acquired the higher-order practices of building forms at the next scale. Hence the endless attempts to solve spatial problems with yet more versions of the Levittown software.

The switch is something like an interchange highway. The switch is a macro-order feature compared to the multiplier, shaping where the multipliers can circulate. Topology might designate the art of patterning switches and ...

Dubbed "Dementia Village" by CNN, Hogewey is a cutting-edge elderly-care facility—roughly the size of 10 football fields—where residents are given the chance to live seemingly normal lives. With only 152 inhabitants, it's run like a more benevolent version of The Truman Show [...] Last year, CNN reported that residents at Hogewey require fewer medications, eat better, live longer, and appear more joyful than those in standard elderly-care facilities.

Adapting to an unprecedented aging population means adjusting elder-care expectations and forms. So-called "Silver" architecture aims to address this growing population, but what about an urbanism of the elderly? Knowing that active social bonds can actually have long-term health benefits, why not "silver" urbanism?

How did we come to live in an insular tribal sphere where unwritten rules and rigid moralities — about whom to like and dislike, what is permissible to say and what must remain unsaid — are strictly enforced via social media and online disapproval, much of it anonymous? When did this band of gypsies and relentless radicals get so conservative?

Could this be translated to architecture? Sure thing... I think architecture has a built in conservatism to begin with. Just look what the architects are pooling for.., fighting territories for things those really don't matter, blaming each other for handrail details and teaching values of the empire while reinforcing its own specialized elitism to keep the trouble makers out. Look at the corporate schools, corporate offices and architects who offer nothing more than a fantasy drawings packaged as radicals riding on intern labored marketing renderings.

Who is kidding whom?

Titled "America's Youngest Outcasts," the report being issued Monday by the National Center on Family Homelessness (NCFH) calculates that nearly 2.5 million American children were homeless at some point in 2013.

This post is brought to you by PPI.

Just as a doctor, lawyer, dentist or engineer require licensure to protect public health, safety, and welfare—architects must also be licensed. A significant part of becoming licensed is taking and passing the Architecture Registration Exam® (ARE).

National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) administers the ARE. NCARB is an organization that regulates the practice of architecture through the development and application of standards for architect licensure. Its members represent architectural registration boards across the United States and U.S. territories.

Why Become Licensed?

You can go to college, graduate, and earn a degree in architecture, but the road to becoming an architect doesn't stop there.

Benefits of Becoming Licensed

Without the license, you aren't a legally sanctioned architect. You are not legally allowed to call yourself an architect until you are licensed.

With a license, you have the legal right to sign, seal or stam...

The latest edition of Showcase: features Slate House, located on a site in Laval, a suburb of Montreal. Designed by Affleck de la Riva architects, it stands in sharp contrast to the tract houses that surround it.

As part of Archinect's continuing ACADIA 2014 coverage Amelia Taylor-Hochberg reviews the keynote by creator of SimCity Will Wright's, which she labels "almost a exegesis".

Smithsonian officials are planning a $2 billion futuristic reimagining of the institute's southern campus that will create clear entrances, expand visitor services and upgrade mechanical systems to the historic Castle and the six buildings surrounding it. Architect Bjarke Ingels, partner at BIG in Manhattan, unveiled the proposal Thursday in the Smithsonian Institution Building, known as the Castle.

Erecting such a building "without authority of the General Assembly will diminish or impair the beneficial interest of plaintiffs and other Illinois citizens" [...] such a designation conflicts with the trust, which calls for preserving property as "a natural resource and as a free and open space not occupied by a giant building." [...] by acting without the approval of state lawmakers, the city and park district would have excessive power over the property "for which they have no authority."

casting couch [kas-ting kouch], noun: the process by which an architect or firm is propositioned to do something unpleasant by an elite client with either the hopes of future commissions or to avoid risk of being discarded.

This term and definition were initially submitted anonymously to the "Architecture encyclopedia?" forum discussion on January 15, 2014. As of yet, there are no other uses of the term in its architectural sense documented online. However, the term is widely used in reference to the entertainment industry, as "a couch in an entertainment executive's office on which aspiring actresses are reputed to perform sexual acts in exchange for desired roles; broadly : the practice of abusing one's power to obtain sexual partners." (Merriam Webster)

The anonymous forum poster exemplifies "casting-couch architecture" as Diller Scofidio + Renfro agreeing to demolish the neighboring Folk Art Museum, to accommodate designs for MoMA's expanding galleries. Other generalist examples ...

This week on the podcast: student debt, Chicago's "State of the Art of Architecture", and our new series, Archinect's Lexicon. Paul, Amelia, Donna and Ken are joined by architecture students Jarrod and Elliott to discuss how student debt is changing their lives and careers. We also consider what Chicago has in store for its inaugural architectural biennial next year, and how architectural language (and English in general) is changing with the internet.

MoMA began its "Uneven Growth: Tactical Urbanisms for Expanding Megacities" initiative last year aiming to advance international discussion on disproportionate urban development and its potential consequences. To address this issue, six interdisciplinary teams spent 14 months in workshops designing proposals that investigate new architectural possibilities for six metropolises. Each case study will be exhibited to the public at MoMA starting on November 22.

But the discussion doesn't end there. MoMA also created a user-generated Tumblr that collects examples of emerging modes of tactical urbanism taking place in the six cities.

On episode 5 of Archinect Sessions last week, co-host/NJIT grad Ken Koense took issue with NJIT's statement against Kean University's upcoming Michael Graves School of Architecture. Koense called NJIT's arguments against Kean "categorically ridiculous" and "smoke and mirrors, distracting people from the real issues at NJIT". Koense points to Urs Gauchat, NJIT's architecture dean, as the cause of the school's struggle to make enrollment: "If there's any problems at NJIT and schools of architecture in the state of New Jersey, it has to do with the current dean, and the current administration there," and that "NJIT's school of architecture has no one to blame but itself."

The Courtyard House Plug-in is a modular home that was created by People's Architecture Office to respond to the need of Beijing's historic neighborhoods for modern facilities. [...] This sort of living solution comes in handy when renovating old protected buildings and presents an alternative to tearing them down. "Houses tend to degrade when they're vacant and unkempt," says Shen, so plug-ins may help keep places like Hutongs alive despite their beat up look.

Q. You're an established industrial designer. Why the focus now on building design? A. I've always taken a great interest in real estate; in fact, if I had more capital, I'd probably be developing a lot more projects myself. There's also money to be made in real estate — much more than one can as a designer. [...] Q. But you're not a licensed architect. A. I am doing 11 buildings in the world, but I don't have a stamp as an architect and I wasn't educated as an architect.

Through six decades of assault [...] the apartment building on Upper Pansodan endured, its graceful arches and colorful patios sacrificing little of their elegance and charm to the torments of time, nature, and repression. Then in 2013, three years into Myanmar's unprecedented political and economic opening up, the building succumbed to a force that proved too great to resist: development.

I strongly disagree with the title. There is no such thing as Islamic Architecture or Islamic Culture. Islam is a multicultural faith with strong presence in Arab world, the Persian world, the Indian Subcontinent, in Eurasia and even in Europe. You cannot label an architectural style as Islamic just because it is used in a mosque. There are elements of the host culture present in this buildings. Mosques in Egypt or Turkey are significantly different from Mosques in Europe or India. -

When a well-intentioned Alabama teenager tweeted a smiling selfie taken at Auschwitz-Birkenau, she attracted a deluge of hatred and outrage from across the internet. Lambasted as disrespectful, insensitive and inappropriate, the selfie was later explained as a means of memorializing her visit to the camp for her father, who had passed away exactly a year prior to her visit. Her gesture was by no mean the first or last of its kind, and represents an inevitable schism in memorial politics – as traumas recede from lived-past into historical contexts, how should cultural inheritance be balanced against personal experience? And how can this balance be articulated in the memorial space?

Currently, Auschwitz-Birkenau is memorialized in a variety of ways, but the structures themselves are not being actively preserved. In 1947, the Polish government established a memorial to all victims, and opened an exhibition of prisoner paraphernalia at Birkenau in 1955. Auschwitz I, the original death ca...

In a recent opinion piece in The New York Times, geriatrician Louise Aronson advocated for a new type of building, one designed with an aging population in mind, which, she suggests, might be dubbed "silver" architecture. [...] It being Veterans Day, this article got me thinking about architect Michael Graves, who recently designed a pair of houses for returning soldiers that follow through on many of Aronson's suggested parameters for silver design.

Developed with the help of a team of volunteer researchers, urban planners and designers, this new online tool allows anyone to view the staggering amount of publicly-owned lots that once had an urban renewal plan in the pipeline but were scrapped due to bureaucracy. By mapping out all of the vacant spaces across the city, 596 hopes that we as a community can take a top-down approach to turning these urban blights into public gardens, play lots, and spaces where people can "co-create."

From 1949-1974 NYC took on an urban renewal project that resulted in the bulldozing of "slums" across Manhattan. The vast majority of the proposals planned for the land floundered and today nearly 15,000 lots across the city lay vacant. 596 Acres, a grassroots land access nonprofit, had developed a map tool called Urban Reviewer that pinpoints all of these spots—most owned by the public—already zoned for action.
